口語進(jìn)階一般為更資深的英語學(xué)習(xí)者準(zhǔn)備,包括對(duì)詞匯的了解,對(duì)語態(tài)的理解等。下面請(qǐng)結(jié)合mp3以及下方的口語材料和翻譯,開始今天的口語進(jìn)階練習(xí)吧!
原文及翻譯
If I were a giant, I wouldn't be able to fit in my house. I'd have to live in a building that had a high ceiling, but I'd probably have a hard time getting through the door. I'd have to make my own clothes, but where would I get a giant needle and thread to sew with? I couldn't ride in a car or a plane. I suppose I would just have to take giant steps to get from place to place.
如果我是個(gè)巨人,我的房子就塞不進(jìn)去了。我必須住在天花板很高的樓里,但我可能很難進(jìn)門。我必須自己做衣服,但我從哪里弄來一根巨大的針和線來縫衣服呢?我不能坐汽車或飛機(jī)。我想我只能邁著巨大的步伐從一個(gè)地方到另一個(gè)地方。
I would have to be very careful not to step on anybody or anything. When I talked, people would cover their ears, my voice would sound very loud to them. I wouldn't find shoes to cover my feet. I wouldn't find a knife and fork to eat my dinner with. I might have to use a Rake as a fork. My dinner would be huge. What would I cook my dinner in? I certainly wouldn't find an oven big enough to put my dinner in. If I sneezed, it would be like a Hurricane.
我必須非常小心,不要踩到任何人或任何東西。當(dāng)我說話時(shí),人們會(huì)捂住耳朵,我的聲音在他們聽來會(huì)很大。我找不到鞋子來遮住我的腳。我找不到刀叉來吃晚餐。我可能不得不用耙子當(dāng)叉子。我的晚餐會(huì)很大。我該用什么做晚餐?我肯定找不到一個(gè)足夠大的烤箱來放我的晚餐。如果我打噴嚏,那就像颶風(fēng)一樣。
If I fell down, it would be like an earthquake. I wouldn't have any friends because everyone would be too tiny for me to talk to. I think that being a giant would be very lonely. I couldn't have just one apple. I would have to have a lot of apples to fill me up. I would have to drink gallons and gallons of water to quench my thirst.
如果我摔倒,那就像地震一樣。我不會(huì)有任何朋友,因?yàn)槊總€(gè)人都太小了,我沒法和他們說話。我認(rèn)為當(dāng)巨人會(huì)非常孤獨(dú)。我不能只吃一個(gè)蘋果。我得吃很多蘋果才能填飽肚子。我得喝很多加侖的水才能解渴。
I could never relax under a tree. I would be taller than all the trees. I don't think that being a giant would be fun. I won't ever make a wish to be a giant. I would rather be my height. I'm very happy the way I am.
我永遠(yuǎn)無法在樹下放松。我會(huì)比所有的樹都高。我認(rèn)為當(dāng)巨人不會(huì)很有趣。我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)許愿成為巨人。我寧愿保持我的身高。我現(xiàn)在的樣子很開心。
