地道美语听力练习:海岛度假 Vacationing on an Island

Mohsen: I need to get off this island. I’m getting island fever.
莫森：我要逃离这个岛。我得了岛热病了。

Ella: We’ve only been here two days. Give it a chance. We’re here to enjoy a slower pace of life, remember?
艾拉：我们在这儿只有两天的时间。抓住这个机会吧。我们来这里是要享受一下慢节奏的生活的，你忘了吗？

Mohsen: When you said we were going on an island vacation, I didn’t know we’d be so isolated. There isn’t a living soul within five miles!
莫森：当初你说我们去一个小岛度假，我不知道这是一个如此与人隔绝的地方。五英里内毫无人烟！

Ella: This isn’t isolated; it’s secluded. We have privacy and serenity. Isn’t that what we wanted?
艾拉：这不是与世隔绝，这是隐秘。我们需要隐私和宁静。这儿不正是我们想要的吗？

Mohsen: I wanted a vacation with all of the creature comforts.
莫森：我想要的休假充满了物质享受。

Ella: That’s what we have, don’t you think? We’re staying in a very nice house.
艾拉：这正是我们所拥有的，你不觉得吗？我们现在住在一个非常漂亮的房子里。

Mohsen: Yes, but what about the creature comforts? I have no Internet access and no cell phone service. This is what I call roughing it.
莫森：是的，但是物质享受呢？我不能上网，不能打手机。我觉得我们就像苦行僧。

Ella: We agreed that we both needed a little time away to unwind. The whole point of this vacation is for us to relax.
艾拉：当初我们一致同意我们需要一点时间放松自己。这个假期的主要目的就是让我们放松一下。

Mohsen: I’m cut off from civilization and I have no access to email and my favorite websites. What could be more stressful than this?!
莫森：我现在和文明世界隔绝了，我不能发送电子邮件，不能访问我最喜爱的网站。还有什么比这更让我恼火的？！
