美語咖啡屋 Lesson 36: Jeannie Spinning Wool[1]

Y: 各位聽眾好，我是楊晨。歡迎您到美語咖啡屋！

J: Hello everyone! Welcome to American Cafe!

(Music break)

J: On today's American Cafe we're going to visit my home state - West Virginia. 西維吉尼亞！

Y: Yeh! 說起西維吉尼亞，我們知道西維吉尼亞以風(fēng)景優(yōu)美，民風(fēng)純樸而著稱。是一個(gè)旅游的好地方。

J: Exactly! In fact, Yang Chen, I recently went there on a visit. I went to an arts-and-crafts festival in a town called Rennick. And there, I met a woman named Jeannie.

Y: Arts-and-crafts就是工藝美術(shù)的意思. 那么Jeannie從事的是那一種工藝美術(shù)吶。

J: Well, when I met Jeannie she was sitting at an old fashioned spinning wheel spinning wool.

Y: Wow. 她會(huì)紡毛線。Um, 那她還會(huì)作什么？紡毛線似乎還不能算是工藝美術(shù)啊。

J: Well, you're right. But Jeannie not only spins the wool, she is involved in an amazing process that begins with raising sheep and ends with a piece of art that you can wear. Jeannie from West Virginia.

實(shí)錄1: Jeannie: My name is Jeannie and I'm from Rennick, WV. I grew up outside of Pittsburgh, but I've lived here for over 30 years now.

Y: Jody, 我記得，你好象說過你小時(shí)候也在匹茲堡附近住過？

J: Yeah, you have a great memory. I grew up outside of Pittsburgh just like Jeannie. It is such a small world. Now, back to Jeannie.

實(shí)錄2: Jeannie: And I had for years a farm with a little flock of Cotswold sheep. And so that's what I'm spinning today. Ah, It's kind of coarse wool compared to some but it's very easy spinning.

Y: Jeannie剛才說的 "Cotswold sheep"是什么？

(Enter sheep sounds)
