UNIT 12 Water Sports 水上活動
Dialogue 情境對話
Nina and Lavery are hiking to the Kealakekua Bay, Big Island, for snorkeling.
妮娜和拉佛立正在要去夏威夷大島的凱阿拉凱庫灣浮潛。
Nina: This isn't a bad hike at all. I don't get why people are so intimidated about hiking down this trail.
妮娜:這個步道一點都不會不好阿。我不懂為什麼大家那麼怕來爬這個步道。
Lavery: Well, we are going downhill now, so naturally it's easy. Wait till we have to climb back up the hills.
拉佛立:嗯,因為我們現在在走下坡阿,所以當然很簡單。等我們爬上坡的時候你就知道了。
Nina: If you're trying to scare me, it's working. It is pretty steep, too. I can't imagine having to climb back up. How far is this trail anyways?
妮娜:如果你是想要嚇我的話,很有用喔!而且這裡蠻陡的。我無法想像要爬回來。這個步道到底多長阿?
Lavery: I'm not exactly sure, but there are 8 markers, and each is around ¼ mile or more.
拉佛立:我也不太確定,但是這裡總共有八個標示牌。每一個都大概四分之一英里(四百公尺)。
Nina: What?! And all this time, we've only passed 1 marker?
妮娜:什麼!?我們到目前為止只有經過一個標示牌?
Lavery: Yep, not trying to scare you, but I just want to prepare you.
拉佛立:對啊,我沒有要嚇你啦,我只是想要讓你有心理準備。
(1 hour and half later)
(一個半小時後)
Nina: The snorkeling is better to be good here!! I'm soooo ready to jump in the water.
妮娜:這裡的浮潛最好很棒!我已經超級無敵準備好要跳到水裡了。
Lavery: Let's do it. The visibility of the water seems amazing today!
拉佛立:我們走吧!今天水裡的能見度超棒的!
Nina: Oh wait a minute, are those sharks?? Look at those fins!!
妮娜:等等,那些是鯊魚嗎?你看那些鰭!
Lavery: No, that's an eagle ray! Today is our lucky day! They look just like angles when they are swimming!
拉佛立:不是啦,那些是燕魟!我們今天真幸運!他們在游泳的時候看起來會很像天使!
Nina: Are those dangerous?
妮娜:他們會危險嗎?
Lavery: No, not at all. They are not aggressive! Cross my heart.
拉佛立:不會啦,一點都不會。他們沒有攻擊性!我保證。
Nina: Okay, let me get my fins and snorkels ready.
妮娜:好,讓我穿一下我的蛙鞋和浮潛裝備。
Lavery: Dolphins!! I'm going in first Nina! I'll see you on the flipside!
拉佛立:海豚!我要先跳下去了喔妮娜!待會見!
Nina: Wait up!
妮娜:等我一下啦!
UNIT 6 Sunrise 日出
Question 2
Where have you seen the most beautiful sunrise?
你在哪裡看過最美的日出?
Michelle: Sunrise? Of course at Mountain Ali in Taiwan! Where else do you go? When I was there, I had to lower myself to everyone’s level to get in the tiny train for getting up to the mountain. I’d always imagined that we’d get in a luxurious chariot at 3 or 4 in the morning and just wave around the sparklers. So dreamy, and then some servers would have the delicious food ready on the side when you were enjoying the sunrise. I guess they didn’t live up to my expectation at all!
蜜雪兒:看曙光? 當然是要去阿里山阿? 不然你覺得還有什麼地方好去?想當初我去看的時候可是勉強搭乘小火車上去?我一直覺得該乘坐豪華馬車零晨三四點左右,乘著馬車邊拿著仙女棒朝著天空劃呀劃的。蠻夢幻的。然後隨從們還準備好美食,在看曙光時享用。我想他們一點也沒有我預期的那麼好。
Matt: I went to Haleakala in the Island of Maui. My friends and I got up at 3 so that the traffic to the mountain wasn’t too bad. We made it to the top, and quickly found out it was freezing there. Luckily we brought a lot of extra blankets in the car. When the sun was about to rise, the colors of the cloud changed so quickly that I had no choice but to keep taking a lot of pictures. When the sun rose, everyone was in awe of the scene in front of us.
麥特:我去茂伊島的哈來阿卡拉。我的朋友跟我三點就起床了所以比較不會塞車。我們登頂的時候很快就發現山上超冷的。好險我們車子裡有多帶一些毯子。當太陽快要升起的時候,雲的顏色一直很快的變化所以我只好一直拍。當太陽真的升起的時候,大家都對眼前的景色感到震驚。
Becca: I watched the sunrise at Fiji. It was during the New Year’s Eve actually. My friends and I decided that we wanted to catch one of the first sunrises in the world to welcome the upcoming New Year, so we went to Fiji and it was very nice. We completed our first of the year by scuba diving afterwards as well!
貝卡:我在斐濟看日出。那時候其實是跨年夜。我的朋友和我想要看到世界上最早出來的日出,來歡迎新的一年,所以我們就去斐濟,然後也真的蠻棒的。我們看完日落之後就去深潛來讓這新年的第一天更完美。
UNIT 21 Shopping 購物
Question 1
Are you a mall person? Why? Why not?
你是一個喜歡購物中心的人嗎?為什麼?或為什麼不是?
Michelle: Am I a mall person? Excuse me, I can live in a mall. Of course, I am a mall person, and I’m not shameful about it at all. I love everything about shopping in a mall. You get your nails done, you take home beautiful clothes, and you can sit down at the food court to eat or get a cup of gourmet coffee. There is just so much to see and try on. It is a stress-relief process for me really. Don’t you just want to get out and shop a little when you are having a bad day? It just makes everything better.
蜜雪兒:我喜歡購物中心嗎?不好意思,我還可以住在購物中心裡。我當然喜歡購物囉,而且我一點也不害羞。我喜歡在購物的每件事。你可以做指甲,帶漂亮的衣服回家,你還可以在美食街吃東西或喝杯高級的咖啡。在購物中心裡有好多東西可以看跟試穿。對我來說其實真的是一個抒壓的方式。你在心情不好的時候不會想要去買點東西嗎?購物讓每件事情都變得很美好。
Matt: No, not even a tiny bit. I guess I just don’t find material things attractive. Nevertheless, I do have a thing for the sporting goods. I guess I don’t like shopping, but I do need to get necessities. Yep, that’s what I’m trying to say.
麥特:一點都不是。物質的東西就真的是一點都不吸引我。不過啦,運動用品店對我來說是我的死穴。我想可能是因為我不喜歡購物,但是我還是得買一些必需品啦。嗯,沒錯,我的意思就是那樣。
Becca: Sometimes I am when there are sales. I don't mind digging out all the goodies even if it means it'll take hours. It's the result that counts. I often find goods that are way under their original prices. It's amazing how much discount you can get sometimes. Who buys with the original prices nowadays?
貝卡:有的時候是,他們特價的時候我就是。我不介意挖好貨甚至是好幾個小時也沒關係。結果最重要。我常找到很多比原價便宜超多的東西。有的時候看到你拿到多少折扣也是蠻驚人的。現在哪有人用原價買東西阿?
UNIT 23 Museum 博物館
Question 3
If you had lots of money to start your own museum, what would you exhibit in it? And what would you call it?
如果你有很多錢可以開你自己的博物館,你會想要展示什麼?你會叫那間博物館什麼呢?
Michelle: It may be a cliché, but I really want to own a Shoe Museum, and I would name it “In Her Shoes”. If I had a lot of money already, I’d like to spend it on shoes. Where do I put all those shoes? How about in a museum? It’s the most direct way people can appreciate my great taste in shoes.
蜜雪兒:聽起來可能很陳腔濫調,可是我真的很想要有我自己的鞋子博物館,而且我會叫它“在她的鞋子裡”如果我已經有很多錢了,我想要花在鞋子上。那我要把鞋子放在哪裡咧?博物館聽起來還不錯吧?那是最直接讓大家看到我對鞋子好品味的辦法。
Matt: I want to open something extraordinary. It's not a tangible thing, but I think people tend to forget them sometimes. I want to open a “dream” Museum. Dream as in what they want to achieve. I just want to collect many people's dreams and put them together to remind people not to forget them. I would name it: “Museum of the Thing You Call Your Dream” .
麥特:我想要開一間特別的。那不是具體的東西,可是我大家常常忘記它。我想要開“夢”的博物館。我是說你想達成的夢想的夢。我想要收集大家的夢想,然後把它們放在一起來提醒大家別忘了他們的夢想。我會叫他:“夢想這個東西博物館”。
Becca: If I had a lot of money, I would like to open a Book Museum. There is so much work included to produce a book. A book is an identity, a voice or message the author is trying to tell the world. Everything from the book cover design to the content has been pondered upon thousands of times. The best way is to collect some of the best ones and put them together. It would be called something like “behind the pages”.
貝卡:如果我有很多錢的話我會想要開一間書的博物館。要製造一本書要花好多工夫。一本書是一個身份,一個聲音或是一個作者要傳達給世界的訊息。從封面設計到內容的製作都是被想過好多次的結果。我覺得最好就是搜集很多最好的書,然後把它們放在一起。我可能會叫他“在書的每一頁之後”之類的。

作者序
「為什麼你想要學英文呢?」我常常這麼問我的學生和朋友。大多數的人回答我,想要讓自己在職場上更有競爭力。但是近幾年來,越來越多的人告訴我:「我想要自助旅行。」或是:「人生苦短,我想要去看看這個世界。」我對於這些回答相當的有共鳴。學習英文本來就是以可以學以致用為主。托福,多益考得再高分,出國旅行時面對外國人還是只能惦惦玩猜猜樂,或是零零落落的和路人問答,真的令人很想翻桌。懂再多的單字和再高級的文法,對於旅遊主題不熟悉或是不精通旅遊行話,還是夢一場。
針對了這個需求,我們設計了這本以口說為主,旅遊為主題的「愛玩客旅遊英語」。
28個旅遊主題,3個不同的旅遊愛玩客親自教你怎麼回答各式各樣的主題。針對每一個主題我們提供了背景簡介,生動對話,旅遊主題問答以及道地旅遊片語重點提示,讓你出門只要帶背包和嘴巴就好囉! GO!
