實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話：Bucket List 遺愿清單

Sarah: So Adam, we're talking about bucket lists, so things that you would like to do before you die. So what's your number one thing on your bucket list?

薩拉：亞當(dāng)，我們來(lái)談?wù)勥z愿清單，就是你在去世之前想完成的事情。你遺愿清單上的第一條會(huì)寫(xiě)什么?

Adam: Oh, difficult question. Number one, I'd probably have to say, oh, skydiving maybe. I've wanted to do it for a long time. And I went bungee jumping in New Zealand. That was fun but I still have not yet been sky-diving. And jumping out of the plane just sounds like an awesome idea to me.

亞當(dāng)：哦，這個(gè)問(wèn)題很難回答。第一條，我可能會(huì)寫(xiě)高空跳傘。這件事我想做很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間了。我在新西蘭玩過(guò)蹦極。那很有意思，不過(guò)我還沒(méi)嘗試過(guò)高空跳傘。對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，從飛機(jī)上跳下去聽(tīng)起來(lái)非常棒。

Sarah: What other kind of adventure sports have you done?

薩拉：你還嘗試過(guò)其他冒險(xiǎn)運(yùn)動(dòng)嗎?

Adam: This summer, I was – what did I do? Sand boarding in Peru. That was fun. When I was younger I did a lot of snowboarding and skateboarding. And yeah, I really enjoy extreme sports. I ride a motorcycle currently. If I could I'd love to race cars professionally, although I don't know how good I'd be at it. But it just looks like so much fun.

亞當(dāng)：今年夏天，我做了什么來(lái)著?我去秘魯玩滑沙了。那非常好玩。我年輕時(shí)還玩過(guò)單板滑雪和滑板。我非常喜歡極限運(yùn)動(dòng)。現(xiàn)在我騎摩托車(chē)。如果可以，我想?yún)⒓勇殬I(yè)賽車(chē)比賽，雖然我不知道我的水平怎么樣。不過(guò)賽車(chē)比賽看起來(lái)很好玩。

Sarah: Yeah. Well, it's never too late to start something you want to do, so you should add that to your bucket list. So tell me what else is on your bucket list?

薩拉：好。開(kāi)始做你想做的事，永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)晚，你應(yīng)該把賽車(chē)加到你的遺愿清單上。那你的遺愿清單上還會(huì)有什么內(nèi)容?

Adam: I really want to write a book. Be the author of a novel. I'm always in the process of writing something down but it never seems to come to complete book type end result. But maybe eventually, all of these little things that I have written down will come into a book form and I can publish it and complete my goal.

亞當(dāng)：我很想寫(xiě)一本書(shū)。我想成為小說(shuō)作家。我一直在堅(jiān)持寫(xiě)作，不過(guò)我從來(lái)沒(méi)完成過(guò)一本書(shū)。也許總有一天，我隨手寫(xiě)下的小文章能組成一本書(shū)，然后我可以發(fā)表這本書(shū)，完成我的目標(biāo)。

Sarah: What kind of things do you write? Like what kind of genre or is that kind of all the same or do you write many different styles?

薩拉：你寫(xiě)的是哪種類(lèi)型的文章?哪種體裁?你寫(xiě)的文章都是一個(gè)類(lèi)型的還是不同類(lèi)型的?

Adam: I wrote a lot of different things. One thing that I write is travel stories from my travels abroad or anecdotes that I come across when I'm traveling. Recently, I've been writing jokes. I really enjoy watching stand-up comedy and have got kind of inspired from them to write some stuff down, although I've never really presented it. And I also write, I guess, fantasy stories as well. I have a few short stories but it's been difficult for me to try to put them into book, like a longer version of them. The details are tricky to write down.

亞當(dāng)：我寫(xiě)了很多不同的文章。其中一篇我記述了我在國(guó)外旅行時(shí)發(fā)生的趣事。最近我在寫(xiě)笑話。我非常喜歡看脫口秀，我從脫口秀節(jié)目中得到了一些靈感，所以我把靈感寫(xiě)了下來(lái)，雖然我從來(lái)沒(méi)有發(fā)表過(guò)。我也寫(xiě)一些奇幻故事。我寫(xiě)過(guò)幾篇小故事，不過(guò)對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)把它們編成書(shū)很難，因?yàn)橐獙?xiě)長(zhǎng)篇故事?？墒羌?xì)節(jié)很難描寫(xiě)。

Sarah: Wow! That's really interesting. Hopefully, one day, we'll be able to read a book written by you.

薩拉：哇哦!那太有意思了。希望有一天我們能看到你寫(xiě)的書(shū)。

Adam: Yeah. That'd be great.

亞當(dāng)：好。那就太好了。

Sarah: Yeah. So tell me what else is on your list?

薩拉：嗯。你還會(huì)在遺愿清單上寫(xiě)什么?

Adam: The other things would be traveling to Europe, which I plan to do hopefully next summer, so I can cross that one off the list. I've always wanted to go to Europe especially Italy and Spain. So I'm excited to get that one done. And I'd also really like to go to Africa and go on a safari and see, you know, lions, tigers in the wild, in their natural habitat. I've also heard that you could see sharks, Great White sharks in South Africa on the coast. I had some friends that went and sat in a cage in the water and had Great White swim by. That sounds like a terrifying and once-in-a-lifetime experience. I'm terrified of sharks but it would be quite amazing to see.

亞當(dāng)：另外一件我想做的事是去歐洲旅行，我計(jì)劃明年夏天完成這個(gè)目標(biāo)，所以我可以把這個(gè)目標(biāo)從清單上劃掉了。我一直很想去歐洲，特別是意大利和西班牙。能完成這個(gè)目標(biāo)讓我非常興奮。我也很想去非洲，想?yún)⒓佑潍C旅行，我想看看野生獅子和老虎，看看他們的自然棲息地。我聽(tīng)說(shuō)在南非海岸還能看到大白鯊。我有朋友去南非時(shí)，在海邊坐在籠子里觀賞大白鯊游來(lái)游去。那聽(tīng)起來(lái)很可怕，但同時(shí)也是千載難逢的經(jīng)歷。我很怕鯊魚(yú)，不過(guò)我想觀賞鯊魚(yú)一定很美妙。

Sarah: Yeah. I am terrified of sharks as well, so I probably will not be adding that to my bucket list. But yeah, I hope you get to do everything that's on your list there.

薩拉：對(duì)。我也害怕鯊魚(yú)，所以我可能不會(huì)把觀賞鯊魚(yú)加到我的遺愿清單中。我希望你能完成你的遺愿清單。

Adam: Thanks. Me too!

亞當(dāng)：謝謝。我也是這么希望的!
