美語咖啡屋 Lesson 31: What is a Bonfire?

Y: 各位聽眾好。歡迎收聽美語咖啡屋。我是楊晨。

J: Hello everyone! I'm Jody! Welcome to American Cafe! Except today, we're not in the Cafe.

Y: 沒錯。我們現(xiàn)在是樹林里。不過這都是Jody的主意，如果我有選擇，我寧可舒舒服服地呆在咖啡館里。

J: Aw come on, Yang Chen, this is going to be fun. Out in the woods enjoying a campfire. This is what I call living large! Living the good life! Don't ya (you) think?

Y: 你說得到輕松。Living large活得自由自在。先別自在了，你看我們點的火都快滅了，快拿手電筒來。

J: You said you were bringing the flashlights.

Y: Jody!! 你不是說你要拿手電筒嗎？ 哎呀，現(xiàn)在怎么辦呢。

J: Hey, there's no reason to panic.

(Enter animal sound)

Y: (getting anxious) Jody! 這是什么聲音，后面是不是有狼啊？

J: That's not a wolf. It was probably just a raccoon. We're fine, Yang Chen.

Y: 聽這聲音好象是一個個頭很大的動物. 我們在樹林里，火又快滅了。都怪你非要到這里來作節(jié)目。你趕快想辦法讓火燒得旺一點好不好！

J: Okay, okay. Calm down. How big do you want the fire, Yang Chen? Do you want it as big as a bonfire?

Y: Bonfire? 是什么？

J: A bonfire? Well, it just so happens that on today's show we have two experts, you could say, on bonfires. Aren't we lucky? Heh heh.

Y: Lucky? 今天我們這么倒霉你還敢說是lucky?

J: Oh, whatever. Let's go to our guests. First let's hear from our good friend CT, a man who claims to have built over 100 bonfires in his life.

實錄1: CT: A bonfire is a large campfire. It is just a bunch of wood you collect from natural surroundings and put into a pile and then you light it on fire. And ideally you have more wood and you keep throwing it on and on, making the flames bigger and bigger and then it burns out.

Y: Bonfire 就是篝火，只不過比普通的篝火要大，Jody, 他剛才說點這種篝火要準備很多木頭，不斷地往火里扔。

J: Yeah, I heard that. He did say that ideally you have more wood and you keep throwing it on the fire. Heh, what a great idea. Okay, I'll go get some more wood while CT tells how big a bonfire should be.

實錄2: CT: Well it depends on your neighbors. If your neighbors like bonfires I would say you could have a nice size fire in a plot of land that is 20 meters by 20 meters. But maybe you want to have something that's 50 meters by 50 meters. Then you can have a big bonfire.

Y: 我們倒是不用擔心鄰居們會有意見。因為現(xiàn)在除了我們兩人附近根本沒有人!

J: Yang Chen, you really must calm down. Here, have a beer.

(Enter sound of beer can opening)
