The Dikes

堤防

A day at a beach on the North Sea. Kathy and Evan see their first dikes.

北海海灘一日游。凱西和艾凡畢生第一次看到堤防。

K:It's really heavenly here. It's not hot at all.

凱西：這里真是人間天堂。天氣一點(diǎn)也不熱。

E:You know, the climate in the Netherlands is rather mild. It's hardly ever hot, and the winters don't get too cold, either.

艾凡：你知道的，荷蘭的氣候相當(dāng)溫和，幾乎沒(méi)有炎熱的天氣，冬天也不會(huì)太冷。

K:Let's move here.

凱西：咱們搬到這里吧。

E:Whoa! We still have to visit Denmark and Sweden, not to mention the rest of Europe sooner or later. Besides, I don't think I could ever leave New York.

艾凡：慢著!我們還要去丹麥和瑞典玩，更不用說(shuō)有一天會(huì)到歐洲其它國(guó)家去。此外，我不認(rèn)為我會(huì)離開(kāi)紐約。

K:See ya!

凱西：那拜拜了!

E:Oh, stop it! You love New York, too.

艾凡：哦，別鬧了!你也喜愛(ài)紐約的。

K:That's true, but it sure is a treat to see something different and as beautiful as Holland.

凱西：沒(méi)錯(cuò)，但是看看不同于紐約而且和荷蘭一樣美麗的事物確實(shí)是件愉快的事。

E:You're right there. Hey, did you see those sea walls out in the ocean on our way here?

艾凡：你說(shuō)得對(duì)。嘿，在我們來(lái)這兒的途中，你有沒(méi)有看到外海中的那些海墻呢?

K:Yeah. What were they? Piers?

凱西：有啊。那些是什么東西?碼頭?

E:No, those are the dikes. They keep the sea water out and have allowed the Dutch for hundreds of years to reclaim land from the sea. Where we are right now used to be underwater.

艾凡：不是的，那些東西叫做堤防。它們擋住了海水，數(shù)百年來(lái)一直幫助荷蘭人與海爭(zhēng)地。現(xiàn)在我們所在的地方以前是在水中。

K:Really? That's amazing! Well, just don't stand there. Help me look.

凱西：真的?真是不可思議!那么就別光站在那兒。幫我找找看。

E:What for? Did you drop something?

艾凡：找什么?你有東西掉了嗎?

K:No, silly. Help me look for some seashells!

凱西：沒(méi)有，呆子。幫我找些貝殼!
