英語(yǔ)播客初級(jí)版 第244期(外教講解):特殊課程

A: Alright, settle down everyone. As part of this school’s curriculum we’ll be covering sex ed this week.
A: Now I want everyone to take this class seriously, sexual education is very important and I want you to ask as many questions as you can think of. Remember, there are no stupid questions here.
B: Miss Carlton? What exactly is sexual education? Are you going to teach us like Kama sutra stuff like that?
A: No Jason, that’s not exactly what sex ed is. Basically, we will talk about sexually transmitted diseases, contraceptives and how the male and female bodies work.
B: My older sister is in college and she takes what she and her friends call the pill. I never really understood what that is, but I know it has to do with sex or something.
A: Good point Jason! This will be the topic of our first class, contraceptives. As you mentioned, the pill is one of the many that exist. The birth control pill is taken daily by a woman in order to prevent unwanted pregnancy, but it does not protect her from contracting STD’s from an infected person. Another popular method is using condoms. This is probably the best method if you have sex, since it not only prevents a woman from getting pregnant but also protects both from STD’s. Yes Jason?
B: What are condoms made out of? How exactly is it that a woman gets pregnant?
A: Condoms are usually made out of an elastic material called Latex. As for your other question, that’s a whole new class.

A: 好了，大家都坐下。作為學(xué)校的一門(mén)課程，我們這周要學(xué)習(xí)性教育課。
A:我想讓大家嚴(yán)肅地對(duì)待這門(mén)課，性教育很重要，如果你想到什么問(wèn)題，盡管問(wèn)。記住，這兒沒(méi)有愚蠢的問(wèn)題。
B: 卡爾頓老師，性教育到底是有關(guān)什么的?你會(huì)教給我們一些諸如愛(ài)神箴言集這類(lèi)的內(nèi)容嗎?
A: 不是， 賈森，那并不是性交易的內(nèi)容。根本來(lái)說(shuō)，我們會(huì)談到性疾病的傳染，避孕用具以及男性和女性的身體是如何活動(dòng)的。
B: 我姐姐在讀大學(xué)，她和朋友服用叫作“藥丸”的東西。我從未明白那是什么，但是我知道那肯定和性有關(guān)。
A: 說(shuō)到點(diǎn)子好了，賈森。那就是我們第一節(jié)課的話題:避孕用具.正如你所說(shuō)的，藥丸是很多避孕藥的一種?？刂瞥錾乃幫杳刻於急慌苑?，是為了防止意外懷孕。但是如果她和患有性病的人接觸，這并不能保護(hù)她接觸到疾病。另一個(gè)通用的方法就是用避孕套。如果發(fā)生性關(guān)系，用避孕套是最好的辦法，因?yàn)榇鞅茉刑啄鼙苊鈶言?，而且能防止得病?br /> B: 避孕套是由什么材料做的?女人怎樣才會(huì)懷孕?
A: 避孕套通常是由一種叫作乳膠的彈性材料制成。至于你的另個(gè)問(wèn)題，那是一個(gè)全新的課程。
