開車去倫敦需要多長時間？孩子們在體育運動中表現(xiàn)如何

來聽今天的講解:

Beginner

A: how long will it take us to drive to London?

我們開車去倫敦需要多長時間？

B: I think it’s a distance of 180 kilometers from here to London, so it should be a two-hour drive on the motorway.

我想從這里到倫敦有180公里的路程，所以在高速公路上開車應該需要兩個小時。

A: that’s unless there is a traffic jam. It could take three hours.

除非交通堵塞?？赡苄枰齻€小時。

B: you’re right. We will be able to travel at high speeds at the beginning and end of the journey, because we will be in built-up area.

你說得對。我們將能夠在旅程的開始和結束時高速旅行，因為我們將在建成區(qū)。

A: so, shall we allow three hours to cover the distance?

那么，我們可以留出三個小時的時間走完全程嗎？

B: ok. You haven’t seen my company car, have you?

好的。你還沒見過我公司的車，是嗎？

A: no. let me take a look….it’s longer than my car.

不，讓我看看……它比我的車還長。

B: I think it’s over five meters long. I can’t remember exactly. It has a maximum speed of over 200 kilometers an hour.

我想它有五米多長。我記不清了。它的最高時速超過200公里。

A:wow! That’s fast! I don’t think we will be traveling that fast on the motorway.

哇！太快了！我認為我們在高速公路上不會走得那么快。

B: we can’t. if we went that fast, we would break the speed limit.

不行。如果我們開得那么快，我們就會超速。

Intermediate

A: how are the children doing at sport?

孩子們在體育運動中表現(xiàn)如何？

B: I’m very pleased with their performances. Timmy can cover the 100 meters in 12 seconds. That’s very fast for a kid his age.

我對他們的表現(xiàn)很滿意。蒂米能在12秒內跑完100米。這對他這個年紀的孩子來說太快了。

A: he’s not very good at the long jump though, is he?

不過他不太擅長跳遠，是嗎？

B: he’s not bad. He can jump a distance of over four meters. I think he just prefers running to jumping. Jimmy’s very good at the high jump. He can jump over two meters. Again, that’s fine for someone his age.

他還不錯。他能跳四米多的距離。我想他只是更喜歡跑步而不是跳躍。吉米的跳高很好。他能跳過兩米多。再說一次，這對他這個年紀的人來說沒問題。

A: two meters? That means that the high jump bar is above his head! Are any of them good at long-distance running?

兩米？這意味著跳高桿在他的頭頂上！他們中有人擅長長跑嗎？

B: the longest race we run is the 1500 meters. A few of the boys and one girls can do it in less than five minutes.

我們跑的最長的比賽是1500米。幾個男孩和一個女孩可以在不到五分鐘的時間內完成。

A: how are they at swimming?

他們游泳怎么樣？

B:  they’re ok. I ask them to swim 500 meters each day. That’s 20 lengths of the swimming pool. They’re not very fast, but that’s ok. I just want them to build their strength up and keep in shape.

他們還好。我要求他們每天游500米。那是游泳池的20個長度。他們不是很快，但沒關系。我只想讓他們增強力量，保持身材。

A: kate is very good at diving from a height of 10 meters.

凱特非常擅長10米高空跳水。

B: I’d be afraid to jump from that height!

我害怕從那個高度跳下去！

A: I think that these kinds haven’t learnt to be afraid yet. She started diving from a lower height, but she soon wanted to go higher.

我想這些人還沒有學會害怕。她開始從較低的高度跳水，但很快就想跳得更高。

B:  it seems that they really enjoy to go faster, higher and further.

他們似乎真的很喜歡走得更快、更高、更遠。
