实战口语情景对话 第967期:Big Plans 大计划

Vella: OK, Daniel, I know you're still really young but I know you must be thinking about what you're going to do in the future so my question would be what do you want to achieve in your life?
维拉：丹尼尔，我知道你还很年轻，不过我想你一定有考虑未来要做的事情，所以我想问的是，你想在人生中实现什么？

Daniel: Well, there are definitely three things I want to do. For example, I want to do before I die, at least three things. The first one is I want to visit every continent in the earth. I'm still young but I want to do it in the next couple of years. I've never been to Africa, for example, that's a continent, that's a part of the world I'm very interested in.
丹尼尔：我有三件很想做的事。我在死之前至少有三件想做的事。第一件事是我想去地球上的每个大洲游览。我还很年轻，我想在未来几年实现这个计划。我从来没去过非洲。那是我感兴趣的一个大洲，也是世界上我想去游览的其中一个地方。

The second one is that I want to see things from a different perspective. For example, I want to climb a really, really high mountain. I don't know, Everest would be amazing but I know like you need the special training and stuff like that. Or do paragliding, I would love to have the feeling that I'm flying. That's something that really, really calls my attention to see, you know, to see something from a different perspective. It can give you not only the experience but also it can help you think in a very different way for, I don't know, many things in the future.
第二件事是我想从不同的角度看世界。我想去爬高山。珠穆朗玛峰很棒，可是我知道，要爬珠穆朗玛峰需要经过特殊的训练。我还想尝试滑翔伞，我想体验一下飞翔的感觉。从不同的角度看世界是我非常想体验的事情。这不仅是一种经历，还可以帮助你未来用不同的想法来看待事情。

And the third one is definitely to raise my children. I don't have any yet but, I don't know, I would love to have that feeling that I've done my job and I've finished it so, I don't know, to have my children, to raise them properly and to see that they succeed in what they do. Those are the three things I would love to do, I don't know, before I die.
第三件事是养育孩子。虽然我现在还没有孩子，不过我想体验那种感觉，在做完工作以后，正确地养育孩子，看着他们获得成功。这三件事是我想在死前做的事情。

Vella: That is sweet. But earlier you told me like you were afraid of heights. Do you still want to do this thing?
维拉：真好。不过你之前跟我说过，你恐高。那你还想做这件事？

Daniel: I am a little bit but that's a thing that I mean at least once even though you are afraid you have to do it at least once. I'm not going to do it every week, the paragliding thing, but at least once I wouldn't mind.
丹尼尔：我是有点儿恐高，不过我认为即使恐高，那也是你至少应该尝试一次的事情。我不是每周都去玩滑翔伞，就一次我觉得没问题。

Vella: And do you have anything specific that you want to do in Africa?
维拉：如果去非洲，你有没有特别想做的事？

Daniel: No, it's just, there are so many, I think, myths about Africa. People tell you different stories. How they live, what they do, what the conditions are that I want to see it by myself. I know Africa it's really different because it's really big. It's really different among the countries but it has so many cultures that I really want to go and see it by myself.
丹尼尔：没有，我认为非洲非常神秘。我经常听到别人说到不同的故事。我想自己亲眼去看看那里的人们怎么生活，他们会做些什么，那里的条件怎么样。我知道非洲与众不同，因为那里非常大。那里每个国家都不同，有很多种文化，我想亲自去体验一下。

Vella: Good. I hope you get the chance to do those three things before you die.
维拉：好。我希望你在去世之前有机会做这三件事。

Daniel: Thanks.
丹尼尔：谢谢。
