实战口语情景对话 第797期:Off to Switzerland 去瑞士

Christophe: Hey, Aiste, I know you're not really into running, but would you like join me running a marathon?
克里斯托夫：嗨，爱斯蒂，我知道你不喜欢跑步，不过你想和我一起参加马拉松吗？

Aiste: Join you running a marathon? What do you mean?
爱斯蒂：和你一起参加马拉松，你是什么意思？

Christophe: Well, actually, next week I am going to run a marathon in Switzerland, so right now I'm going alone all by myself. I have nobody to go with me, so I was thinking maybe you would like to go with me. Join me, so I'm not alone.
克里斯托夫：嗯，我下周要参加在瑞士举行的马拉松比赛，可是我要自己一个人去。没有人和我一起，所以我在想你愿不愿意和我一起去。这样我就不孤单了。

Aiste: Oh, next week, yes, we have a holiday and actually I was thinking I have no plans for this holiday. And Switzerland, that sounds like a wonderful country. How are we going to get there?
爱斯蒂：哦，下周，好，刚好我们有个假期，而且我这个假期还没有计划。瑞士，听起来是个美妙的国家。我们怎么去？

Christophe: Well, I was thinking of taking the train from Brussels, so we just take the train around eight o'clock in the evening, and when we arrive there in the morning, we can have a nice sleep during the night on the train and, well, just next morning we are there.
克里斯托夫：我想从布鲁塞尔坐火车去，我们坐晚上8点左右的火车，第二天早上到瑞士，我们晚上可以在火车上好好睡一觉，第二天早上就能到了。

Aiste: Oh, that sounds great. Definitely. Can you tell me more about the marathon? What type of marathon it is, and how are you planning to do that?
爱斯蒂：哦，听起来不错。好。你能再跟我说说这场马拉松比赛吗？那是哪种马拉松，你有什么计划？

Christophe: Well, actually, it's a mountain marathon. It's quite interesting. It's not just like a flat marathon. It goes from 500 meter altitude to 2,300 meters altitude, so the finish is close to a glacier. It's really very impressive. I think you will like it.
克里斯托夫：实际上，那是山地马拉松比赛。非常有意思。与平地马拉松不同。山地马拉松比赛要从海拔500米的地方跑到海拔2300米的地方，终点离冰川很近。令人印象深刻，我想你会喜欢的。

Aiste: Oh, that sounds really difficult. Are you sure, you're prepared for that?
爱斯蒂：哦，听起来很难。你确定你准备好了吗？

Christophe: Oh, yeah, I prepared three months for this marathon. I put a lot of work into it. It was a lot of training, so I think I will be fine, but what about you? Will you run it too?
克里斯托夫：哦，当然，我已经为这场马拉松比赛准备三个月了。我付出了很多努力。我进行了大量的训练，我认为我没问题，你呢？你也要一起跑吗？

Aiste: No, no no no. No way. I don't think I can run the marathon, but I suppose in Switzerland they should have some kind of elavator or funicular to get up the mountain. Can I see you reaching the glacier happy?
爱斯蒂：不，不，我不参加。我绝对不参加。我跑不了马拉松，不过我想瑞士应该有电梯或缆车之类的设施可以到山上去。我能看着你到达冰川吗？

Christophe: Well, actually, they organized some special trains for supporters of the runners, so if you join me, you can just buy a train ticket, jump on the train, and see me running while you are taking the train. It's a perfect combination or tourism and supporting me at the same time.
克里斯托夫：实际上，他们给为参赛选手加油的人准备了特别列车，如果你和我一起去，你可以买张火车票，在火车上看着我跑。这样既可以观赏风景，又可以为我加油。

Aiste: Oh, that sounds really great. Let's do that.
爱斯蒂：哦，听起来太棒了。我们就这么做吧。
