聽力原文及翻譯
A: Now the only time I went to Ireland, it rained practically every day.
A:我唯一一次去愛爾蘭的時候,幾乎每天都在下雨。
B: Hmm...Yes, that can be a problem, but you can surf in the rain, you know.
B:嗯……是的,這可能是個問題,但你知道,你可以在雨中沖浪。
A: It doesn't have the same appeal, somehow.
A:它聽上去沒有什么吸引力。
B: Well, the weather has been fine the last couple of years when I've been there, but actually it tends to rain more in August than in the spring or autumn. September's my favorite month because the water is warmer then.
B:嗯,過去幾年我去那里的時候天氣都很好,但實際上8月份的降雨量往往比春季或秋季多。9 月是我最喜歡的月份,因為那時水溫較高。
A: The only problem is that the kids are back to school then.
A:唯一的問題是孩子們那時要回學(xué)校了。
B: I know. But one good thing about Irish summers is that it doesn't get too hot, the average temperature is about 19 degrees, and it usually doesn't go above 25 degrees.
B:我知道。但愛爾蘭夏天的一個好處是不會太熱,平均氣溫約為19度,通常不會超過25度。
A: That sounds all right. Now, what about costs?
A:聽起來不錯。那費用呢?
B: Surfing is a pretty cheap holiday really, the only cost is the higher of equipment. You can expect to pay a daily rate of about €30 for the higher of a wetsuit and board, but you can save about €40 if you hire by the week.
B:沖浪其實非常便宜,唯一的成本是設(shè)備成本較高。你需要支付約30歐元的日費才能獲得一套更高級的潛水服和沖浪板,但如果按周租用,就可以節(jié)省約40歐元。
A: That's not too bad.
A:還不錯。
B: No, it's important to make sure you get good quality wetsuits, you all get too cold if you don't. And make sure you also get boots, they keep your feet warm, and it's easier to surf with them on to.
B:對,重要的是要確保你獲得優(yōu)質(zhì)的潛水服,否則會覺得很冷。還要確保有靴子,讓腳保持溫暖,穿上它們更容易沖浪。
