蕾希:我最喜歡的是游泳,也有人稱為水中有氧運動。
Simon: Aqua-aerobics? What's that?
西蒙:水中有氧運動?那是什么?
Lesie: Well, actually, there's different kinds of aqua-aerobics. It's just like an aerobics class but it's in a swimming pool, so there's, so you're not putting pressure on your joints when you're jumping up and down.
蕾希:嗯,實際上,水中有氧運動有不同的種類。與有氧運動類似,不過是在游泳池里進行的,這樣在你上下跳動的時候不會對關(guān)節(jié)造成壓力。

西蒙:啊,真酷!你還有其他的愛好嗎?
Lesie: Yeah, um, because it's going to be Christmas soon, I'll be able to enjoy my hobby of baking.

Simon: So what kind of things do you bake?
西蒙:那你通常都烘焙什么呢?
Lesie: Oh, well, sometimes I bake pies, like pumpkin pies or pecan pie. Pecan pies are very famous where I come from in Florida because we have pecan trees and then sometimes I do cakes, like really rich cakes like red velvet cakes, or carrot cakes, but this year I'm going to be baking cookies.
蕾希:嗯,有時我會烤餡餅,比如南瓜派或是核桃派。我來自佛羅里達州,那里的核桃派非常有名,因為我們那里有核桃樹,有時我也烘焙蛋糕,我會做配料豐富的蛋糕,比如紅絲絨蛋糕或是胡蘿卜蛋糕,不過今年我打算烤餅干。
Simon: Cookies! What kind of cookies, Leslie?
西蒙:餅干!蕾希,你要做哪種餅干?
Lesie: Ah, let's see this year's cookies are going to be the traditional Christmas sugar cookie, which is a big cookie in a kind of a Christmas shape, like a Christmas tree or Santa Claus with icing or some colored sugar, very yummy, and some M&M cookies with red a green M&M's.
蕾希:嗯,我想今年我會做傳統(tǒng)的圣誕節(jié)甜餅干,這是一種大餅干,形狀與圣誕節(jié)有關(guān),可以是圣誕樹形狀或是有糖霜的圣誕老人形狀,也可以是一些彩色糖的形狀,這種餅干非常好吃,可以用紅色和綠色的M&M彩虹糖來做彩虹巧克力豆曲奇。
Simon: Oh, wow! Sounds interesting! OK. I've got a question, or I've got something to ask you.Describe how your cookies taste? Use your three favorite adjectives?
西蒙:哇!聽起來真有趣!好,我有個問題,我想問你件事。形容一下你的餅干是什么味道?用三個你最喜歡的形容詞來描述?
