实战口语情景对话 第561期:Surf and the Sea 冲浪和海洋

Joel: So, Mitchell, you talked about surfing. You surf of course. Do you have any good surf stories?
乔尔：米切尔，你之前谈到了冲浪。当然你会冲浪。你有没有有趣的冲浪经历？

Mitchell: Well, one day I was surfing and my friend said, "Oh, I see a shark" so I'm just like, "Right, you didn't see no shark" so you know we keep on surfing and next thing you know, we're surfing some more and it was like, "Ah, Mitch. I promise I saw a shark. I saw a shark". I was like, "Man, you're lying. Just shut up" you know cause my friends tend to joke a lot when they're surfing you know, cause we like to enjoy. So we're surfing and the next thing you know, we hear this siren coming, and like 200 yards away, we see this girl like getting out of the water like franticly. It's like, next thing you know, since we go out, we see an ambulance, something happened, like commotion, and everyone's going "Oh, this girl got bitten by a shark."
米切尔：有一天我正在冲浪时，我朋友突然说：“哦，我看到鲨鱼了”，可当时我说：“你没有看到鲨鱼”，所以我们又继续冲浪了，一段时间之后，我朋友说：“米切尔。我确定我真的看到了一只鲨鱼了。我看到鲨鱼了。”可是我还是不信：“嘿，你在说谎。闭嘴吧”，因为我朋友们经常在冲浪的时候开玩笑，我们喜欢这样。所以我们继续冲浪，然后我们听到了警报声，就在离我们200码远的地方，一个女孩慌乱地从水里出来。我们上岸后看到了一辆救护车，肯定是发生什么事了，那里有一阵骚动，我们听到大家在说：“这个女孩被鲨鱼咬伤了”。

Joel: She actually got bitten by a shark.
乔尔：她真的被鲨鱼咬伤了吗？

Mitchell: She actually got bitten.
米切尔：对，她的确被咬伤了。

Joel: Oh, my god.
乔尔：哦，天哪。

Mitchell: Well, not bad but like bit her toes or something. It's a reef shark. They're not very big but they tend to swim close to shore and in the rocks, cause like, a lot of people, they, we surf by the reef because the waves break nicely but it is also dangerous because you have the chance of hitting you head on the reef and getting scrapes and cuts.
米切尔：情况不太糟，她被咬伤的地方好像是脚趾。咬伤她的是一只礁石鲨，这种鲨鱼个头不太大，一般在海岸附近和岩石间活动，有很多人会在礁石附近冲浪，因为那里很容易破浪，不过那里同样非常危险，因为你的头有可能会撞到礁石，或者会被擦伤。

Joel: What other kinds of wildlife do you see in the ocean? I surfed in California and they have like, Pelicans and sometimes dolphins.
乔尔：你在海里还见过什么野生生物？我曾在加利福尼亚冲过浪，那里有鹈鹕，有时还能看到海豚。

Mitchell: Yeah, we see dolphins, we see manta rays, We see a lot of turtles.
米切尔：嗯，我们也看到过海豚，我们还看到过蝠鲼和很多乌龟。

Joel: Turtles, like the green sea turtles.
乔尔：乌龟，是绿海龟吗？

Mitchell: Green sea turtles. Like back in the days, it was legal to eat turtles,
米切尔：是绿海龟。以前吃乌龟是合法的……

Joel: So, the what?
乔尔：什么？

Mitchell: It was legal to eat turtles.
米切尔：以前吃乌龟是合法的。

Joel: Oh, legal to eat turtles.
乔尔：哦，吃乌龟曾经是合法的。

Mitchell: So people made like turtle soup, cause the meats like real tender, juicy, white, but they kind of got like extinct so they made a law saying that you can't eat turtles so now, right now, you can see a lot of turtles when you're surfing or in general in you're in Waikiki beach, some of those famous beach, you can see a lot of turtles.
米切尔：人们以前会做乌龟汤，乌龟肉是白色的，而且鲜嫩多汁，不过乌龟已经濒临灭绝，所以他们制订了一项法律禁止食用乌龟，所以现在你在冲浪时能看到很多乌龟，一般来说，在威基基海滩等一些著名的海滩能看到很多乌龟。

Joel: By the way, what kind of board do you surf on, a long board or.
乔尔：顺便问一下，你冲浪时用的是哪种冲浪板？是长板还是其他的？

Mitchell: A long board or short board, or tankers, like it matters how the wave is, where in, what part of the beach I'm at. I usually surf, like 7-foot boards. Short boards or long boards.
米切尔：长板、短板还有小长板都会用，这要取决于海浪的种类还有我在海滩的哪个地方。一般我会用7英尺长的冲浪板，短板或长板。

Joel: So you check the weather forecast before you go?
乔尔：你冲浪前会查天气预报吗？

Mitchell: yeah, call the surf hotline, the surf hotline saying, where's good, how strong the trade winds are, how deep the buoys are.
米切尔：会，我会打冲浪热线，冲浪热线会告诉你哪里适合冲浪、信风的强度和浮标的深度。

Joel: I see. Oh, you make me want to go surfing. Let's stop.
乔尔：我明白了。你说的我都想去冲浪了。我们就聊到这里吧。
