Promise of the Rainbow

彩虹的承諾

As Evan had predicted, the storm is over in less than half an hour.

正如艾凡所預測的，這場暴風雨不到半小時就結(jié)束了。

K:Oh, look, Evan! The sun is coming out again.

凱西：哦，艾凡，看!太陽又出來了。

E:Yeah. The more violent the storm, the shorter it lasts. It can rain for days without much wind or driving rain, but this kind of violent storm doesn't usually last more than an hour.

艾凡：嗯。暴風雨愈猛烈，持續(xù)的時間也愈短。老天可以沒有狂風暴雨而連續(xù)下雨好幾天，但是像這種猛烈的暴風雨通常不會超過一小時。

K:You were right on this one. Thank God that's over! I was really scared for a minute there.

凱西：這次你說對了。感謝上帝，暴風雨結(jié)束了。有那么一下子我真嚇壞了。

E:More like 20 minutes.

艾凡：好象有二十分鐘之久吧。

K:All right!

凱西：就算是吧!

E:Just kidding. I was scared, too, for a while. But I knew we'd be all right.

艾凡：只是開個玩笑。有一陣子，我也很害怕。但是我知道我們會沒事的。

K:Oh, look, Evan! There's a rainbow!

凱西：哦，艾凡，看!有一道彩虹!

E:Remember the story from the Bible about the rainbow? After the great flood that destroyed the world, God made the rainbow as a promise to Noah that He would never flood the world again.

艾凡：記得圣經(jīng)里那則關于彩虹的故事嗎?在那場毀滅全世界的大洪水后，上帝創(chuàng)造出一道彩虹當作對諾亞的承諾說衪將不會再淹沒全世界。

K:Yes, I remember. It's a beautiful story.

凱西：是的，我記得。那是一則美麗的故事。

E:And a beautiful rainbow. Come on, Kathy. Let's get back to the car and change our soaked clothes.

艾凡：還有美麗的彩虹。凱西，快點。咱們回車上去換掉這身濕衣服吧。

K:I'm right behind you.

凱西：我隨后就來。
