口語進(jìn)階一般為更資深的英語學(xué)習(xí)者準(zhǔn)備，包括對詞匯的了解，對語態(tài)的理解等。下面請結(jié)合mp3以及下方的口語材料和翻譯，開始今天的口語進(jìn)階練習(xí)吧！

原文及翻譯

Imagine what life would be like if you were 2 inches tall. You would have to be careful that nobody stepped on you. You would have to watch out for cats, dogs, and birds. It would be very dangerous. 

想象一下如果你只有 2 英寸高，生活會是什么樣子。你必須小心，不要讓別人踩到你。你必須提防貓、狗和鳥。這會非常危險。

But just think of the things that you could do. You could live in a dollhouse or even a shoebox. You could use a bottle cap for a plate. You would have to wear doll's clothes. 

但想想你可以做的事情。你可以住在玩具屋里，甚至鞋盒里。你可以用瓶蓋做盤子。你必須穿娃娃的衣服。

A stamp would make a lovely picture to hang on your wall. You could hide in a mousehole or a drawer. You wouldn't need much food. You could probably live comfortably on the crumbs that people would leave on the table. A thimble would make a good cup. 

郵票可以做成一幅可愛的畫掛在墻上。你可以藏在老鼠洞或抽屜里。你不需要太多食物。你可能可以靠人們留在桌子上的面包屑舒適地生活。頂針可以做成一個好杯子。

If you went outside, the grass would seem like a jungle. An insect would be huge and frightening. A puddle would seem to be an ocean. You could cross the puddle in a paper cup and use a spoon for an oar. A matchbox would make a good bed, with a handkerchief as a bedspread. 

如果你出去，草地看起來就像叢林。昆蟲會變得巨大而可怕。水坑看起來像海洋。你可以用紙杯穿過水坑，用勺子當(dāng)槳?；鸩窈锌梢宰龀梢粡埡么玻峙量梢宰龃舱?。

You brush your hair with a toothbrush, but you'd never find anything small enough to brush your teeth with. You could take a ride on the back of a mouse. You wouldn't find any books that were small enough to read, but you might read the back of a pill bottle. 

你用牙刷梳頭，但你永遠(yuǎn)找不到任何足夠小的東西來刷牙。你可以騎在老鼠背上。你找不到任何足夠小的書可以閱讀，但你可以閱讀藥瓶的背面。

You could ride in a toy car and have a soup bowl for a swimming pool. A leaf could be your umbrella, and a mitten would make a great sleeping bag. If you used your imagination, you could think up something to use for almost all your purposes. 

你可以坐玩具車，用湯碗當(dāng)游泳池。一片樹葉可以當(dāng)雨傘，手套可以當(dāng)一個很棒的睡袋。如果你發(fā)揮想象力，你可以想出一些東西來滿足幾乎所有的用途。

Being small might be fun, but then again, it would be frightening. I'd be afraid of my pet cat. I wouldn't want a book to fall on me. I would be afraid of being swept away by a big gust of wind. I think I'd rather be my size.

身材小也許很有趣，但話說回來，身材小也會很可怕。我會害怕我的寵物貓。我不想書掉在我身上。我會害怕被一陣大風(fēng)吹走。我想我寧愿保持我的體型。
