美语情景对话_美语情景对话,第255期:Elephants,大象
Adrienne: So, Rob, tell me why you don"t like elephants!
艾德丽安：罗布，跟我说说你为什么不喜欢大象吧。
Rob: Why don"t I like elephants? It"s a long story. I was traveling in India with a friend of mine and one night we decided to spent the night in a national park, looking at wildlife, and we were staying in a small hut, and to get to the hut we had to walk across a swamp, and we had to take a boat, then we had to walk across another swamp, and after walking for about half an hour we reached the hut, all upon big lakes about 20 meters up in the air, and I climbed the steps and when I got to the top of the steps, on the other side of the hut there was a huge snake, about 3 or 4 meters long, a cobra.
罗布：我为什么不喜欢大象？这是一个很长的故事。以前我和一个朋友去印度旅行，一天晚上我们决定在国家公园里过一晚，观赏野生动物，我们要住在一个小茅屋里，我们要穿过一片沼泽地才能到达那个小茅屋，所以我们不得不划船去，之后我们还要穿过另一片沼泽，然后两走大概半个小时就到小茅屋了，那个茅屋在大型湖泊的上方，大概有20米高，我得爬台阶上去，当我爬到顶以后，我看到茅屋的另一面有只巨大的蛇，是一只大约有3、4米长的眼镜蛇。
Adrienne: Wow!
艾德丽安：哇！
Rob: I hate snakes. I absolutely hate snakes. So I ran down the steps and said to my friend, "I am not staying here. I can not sleep in this place" And we thought about what to do, and there was a village maybe two kilometers away, so my friend walked to the village to find out whether someone could come and scare away the snake and she came back and said, the people said there is no way, we can not scare the snake off. Do you think we"re crazy? We are not fighting the snake, but you can stay in our huts. You can stay in the village, so we started walking back to the village, and this was about half past six, seven o"clock in the evening and the sun was going down and as we were walking through the jungle we heard all sorts of noises from other parts of the forest and there was lots of rustling noises, and oh look, there must be some other animals, wow, cool, some animals and then after a little while a big pig appeared in the middle of the path (Wow) and we thought, "Oh, it"s a pig" Pigs are not very exciting but it seemed exciting at the time and
