實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：Knitting 編織

Adrienne: So we just had Christmas and I see your knitting bag is out, did you knit anything for anyone for Christmas?

埃德里安娜：我們剛剛過了圣誕節(jié)，我看到你的編織袋了，你在圣誕節(jié)的時候給誰織東西了嗎?

Vivian: I started to knit for my granddaughters, but time caught up with me and I was making for them a poncho which consisted of two pieces, two oblong pieces which I will put together and make a poncho.

薇薇安：我開始給我的孫女們織東西，但是時間太趕了，我正在給她們織斗篷，斗篷包含兩片，兩個矩形，我會把它們組合在一起做成個斗篷。

Adrienne: That sounds pretty I think, but what will it look like when it's finished? Can you describe it?

埃德里安娜：那聽起來真不錯，可是那個斗篷完成的時候是什么樣子的?你能形容一下嗎?

Vivian: A poncho is sort of like a shawl, only it is closed. You can wear it like a sweater. You pull it over your head but you don't have any arms. You just have the shawl affect.

薇薇安：斗篷有點(diǎn)像披肩，只不過斗篷是閉合的。你穿上的時候就像個毛衣一樣。你把斗篷從頭部套入，不過斗篷沒有袖子。就和披肩的效果是一樣的。

Adrienne: Oh, I've seen those. Those are actually quite popular now. So what colors did you make?

埃德里安娜：哦，我看到過那種斗篷?，F(xiàn)在斗篷非常流行。那你織的斗篷是什么顏色的?

Vivian: I made a mixture of sand colors that's tan and browns and darker browns, sort of a mixture. It's a nice pretty soft yarn in the same colors. It just blends in.

薇薇安：我用了多種顏色，有棕褐色、棕色和深棕色，多種顏色的混合。還有相同顏色的柔軟的紗線。它們很好的融合在一起。

Adrienne: Oh, sounds great. I'm sure your granddaughter will love that. What else did you start to make?

埃德里安娜：聽起來真棒。我確定你的孫女們會喜歡的。你還有織別的東西嗎?

Vivian: Well, I wanted to make also, I bought some ponchos and I started to put an edging around them but with crocheting, but it didn't look right.

薇薇安：嗯，我想，我買了一些斗篷，然后用鉤針給斗篷做邊飾，不過看起來不太好。

Adrienne: What's crocheting?

埃德里安娜：鉤針是什么?

Vivian: Crocheting is another needle, single needle, that you stick into the wool, and use a thread and you pull it through and you can make decoration on anything that you have knitted, only you use a different needle, and a different method of decoration, but it didn't look right so I pulled it all out and it was fun trying out those things.

薇薇安：鉤針是另一種編織針，是單針，可以穿過羊毛，你用線穿過羊毛，就可以為你編織的東西進(jìn)行裝飾，這只是用另一種編織針，采取另一種裝飾方法，不過我做的看起來不太好，所以我把它們都拆了，不過嘗試這些事情很有樂趣。

Adrienne: So when will you finish the, all of these projects do you think? Do you have a deadline?

埃德里安娜：那你認(rèn)為你什么時候可以完成所有的這些編織呢?你有截止時間嗎?

Vivian: Yes, I do, very shortly, I'm almost through.

薇薇安：有啊，很快，我已經(jīng)快完成了。
