實用口語：滑雪Skiing
SUE: I’m kind of nervous about this.
JOHN: Why?
SUE: What if I go off a cliff?
JOHN: Don’t worry about that. It’s impossible.
All the ski runs are carefully marked.
And if there is something that might be dangerous, like a cliff or something,
then they often put a fence around it.
SUE: I think I’m going to break my leg.
JOHN: No, you’re not. First I’ll ski with you for a half-hour or so.
We’ll go on the bunny hill. Then you have your lesson at 10:45.
SUE: What is the "bunny hill"?
JOHN: The bunny hill is the easiest run on the mountain. It isn’t steep at all.
It is for first-time skiers. Don’t worry about this. It will be fun!
SUE: So they have runs for different kinds of skiers?
They have runs for advanced skiers and runs for beginners?
JOHN: Absolutely.
Look at this map. You can see all the runs on the mountain on this map.
The advanced runs are marked with black diamonds
and the beginner runs have green circles.
Look. The intermediate runs have blue squares.
SUE: So why don’t I get a map like that?
JOHN: I’ll get you one.
But you don’t need it right now. Because you will be staying on the bunny hill.
Probably until lunch at least.
SUE: And you, won’t you be bored on the bunny hill?
JOHN: Yes, I will. But I will stay with you until your lesson begins.
Then I’ll go take a couple more advanced runs. Then we’ll meet for lunch.
SUE: I should have invited some friends to come with me.
JOHN: Why?
SUE: I think I’m going to be lonely on this trip.
You will always want to go to the advanced runs.
JOHN: No. That’s not true. I will have a good time skiing with you.
I think it’s good if we spend a lot of time on the mountain together.
I came on this trip with you. But I also think you will get tired quickly,
because you aren’t experienced as a skier.
So you will probably spend some time shopping in the town, or hanging out in the lodge.
SUE: And then you can get rid of me.
JOHN: Don’t be so sour! I have no reason to get rid of you.
I will ski on the beginner runs with you,
and then sometimes I will go ski on the advanced runs.
We will have a good time here. You will see.
SUE: Well. Alright.
蘇：我有點緊張耶。
約翰：為什么?
蘇：如果我掉下懸崖怎么辦?
約翰：不要擔心那個，那是不可能的。
所有的滑雪道都有清楚地標示出來。
而且如果有什么危險的，像是懸崖或什么的，
他們通常會在附近圍上柵欄的。
蘇：我想我會摔斷腿的。
約翰：不，你不會的。一開始我會和你一起滑半個小時左右，
我們會沿著初學者滑雪道，然后你十點四十五分去上課。
蘇：什么是初學者滑雪道?
約翰：初學者滑雪道是山里最容易的滑雪道，一點也不陡，
是給初學滑雪者用的。不要擔心，會很好玩的。
蘇：那是說他們有滑雪道給不同的滑雪者啊?
滑雪道有分高階者和初學者嗎?
約翰：當然有了。
看這張地圖，你可以在這張地圖看到山上所有的滑雪道。
高階者的滑雪道是用黑色方塊標示
而初學者的滑雪道是用綠色圓圈。
看，中級者的滑雪道是藍色方形。
蘇：為何我沒有拿到像那樣的地圖?
約翰：我會幫你拿一張。
但你現在不需要，因為你會一直待在初學者滑雪道，
至少可能要到午餐時間喔!
蘇：那你呢，你在初學者滑雪道不會覺得無聊嗎?
約翰：會啊，但是我要陪著你直到你的課開始。
然后，我再去滑幾下高階的滑雪道，我們午餐時間再碰面。
蘇：我應該邀請一些朋友和我一起來的。
約翰：為什么?
蘇：我想這趟旅行我會很孤單，
你會一直想要去高階者滑雪道。
約翰：不會，不是這樣，我會和你有一段愉快的滑雪時光。
我想如果我們能一起在山上度過一段時間是很不錯的。
我是和你一起來旅行的，但是我想你很快就會疲憊不堪，
因為你并不是很有經驗的滑雪者。
所以，你可能會花更多的時間在城里逛街購物或在小屋里徘徊吧。
