Eric, Day Of A Teenager

J: Hello I'm Jody and welcome to American Cafe!

Y: 大家好。我是楊晨。歡迎您到美語(yǔ)咖啡屋。Jody我們?yōu)槭裁捶胚@個(gè)音樂(lè)？我現(xiàn)在覺(jué)得我到了太空一樣。

J: Because, Yang Chen, today we are visiting a different world. The world of teenagers!!

Y: No! 我們能不能談點(diǎn)兒別的？

J: Calm down, calm down. It'll be okay. Besides we were all teenagers once. Do you remember when you became a teenager?

Y: 不記得了，好象太遙遠(yuǎn)了。

J: It does feel like a long time ago. But it was only a mere 10 years.

Y: 十年前！ 你數(shù)學(xué)怎么學(xué)的？

J: Oh, never you mind. Anyway, today, we're going to revisit that awkward time when you're no longer a child and not yet an adult. So, without further delay let's meet Eric, a student in Virginia who celebrates his birthday on New Year's Day.

實(shí)錄1: Eric: My name is Eric. I am thirteen. My birthday is January 1st, 1991. And I go to Hayfield Secondary School in Virginia.

J: Eric's is a teenager alright. Can you hear how his voice is starting to change?

Y: 沒(méi)錯(cuò)，聽(tīng)得出來(lái)他的聲音好象在變粗。唉，我很好奇一個(gè)13歲的男孩每天都作些什么？

J: That's just what we're going to find out. So, here's Eric as he walks us through a normal school day.

實(shí)錄2: Eric: I shower, get dressed and go downstairs, eat breakfast and get my stuff ready for school.

Y: Eric剛才談的是他到學(xué)校以前先洗澡，然后穿好衣服，然后到樓下吃飯，然后gets his stuff ready for school. "Stuff" 這個(gè)詞好象特別有用。

J: Very useful.

Y: 那他到了學(xué)校以后都作些什么呢？

J: Well, Eric's classes include strings, ah, which means his music lesson for viola.

Y: 中提琴。

J: Right. And Eric must really enjoy his strings class because he has trouble remembering what he has next.

實(shí)錄3: Eric: First thing I go to strings, then I run off to dra, no, civics, no, let me think real quick ... health or P.E., which will be P.E. when I get out of Winter Break. And then we have homeroom and then lunch. And then I have algebra everyday. And then I have English. And then I jump on a bus and go home and do stuff.

Y: Jody 等一等。你得解釋一下什么是P.E.? 什么是homeroom.

J: Oh, right. P.E. stands for physical education. You know, gym class.

Y: P.E. 是體育課的意思。 那homeroom該怎么理解呢？

J: Homeroom is difficult to explain. It's kind like a break. Or a study hall if you have a strict teacher.

Y: 我還是不太明白。那我們就讓 Eric 來(lái)解釋一下，好不好？

實(shí)錄4: Eric: Homeroom is where we can do whatever we want. But some teachers are mean and have you like read or do your homework. Oh, they let you do whatever you want; talk loudly, throw stuff things at people.

Y: Eric剛才是不是還說(shuō)他們有時(shí)候會(huì) "throw stuff"?

J: Again stuff. Yes. He did. But I think, Yang Chen, he was just joking. Or maybe not. I don't know how bad kids are these days.

Y: Hmm, "do stuff" ... 上了一天的學(xué)，那他回家后都做些什么呢？

實(shí)錄5: Eric: Well, I like to play video games and I say that about 75 percent of American teenagers play video games.

Y: 說(shuō)起電子游戲，其實(shí)不光是美國(guó)的小孩兒，全世界的小孩兒都迷電子游戲。

J: Oh, most definitely. According to Eric, some of the most popular video games these days are role playing video games.

Y: 就是說(shuō)玩的人可以扮演里面的人物。

實(shí)錄6: Eric: I like Baten Kaitos. Baten Kaitos is a game where you are trying to save the world from an evil God and find out where the ocean has gone.

Y: Wow, Eric 要從一個(gè)邪惡之神手中拯救世界，還要尋找一個(gè)迷失的海洋。他可真夠忙的啊。

J: Wow, he's a busy teenager.

Y: 那我們就祝他好運(yùn)吧。好，各位聽(tīng)眾，謝謝大家收聽(tīng)美語(yǔ)咖啡屋，我們下次節(jié)目再見(jiàn)。

J: See you next time on American Cafe!
