今天的這段對話,在討論拉美天氣,
拉美國家時常發(fā)生極端天氣,為了應對極端天氣都有哪些措施呢
來聽今天的講解:
A: For example in Argentina if it is raining, it's like you change your schedule a little, right?
在阿根廷,如果下雨的話,就要稍微改變一下行程安排,對吧?
B: Yeah.
對。
A: Because of the rain, because it's not like every day raining. But here you have to do everything under the rain.
因為不是每天都下雨。不過在這里,就要頂著雨做事了。
B: Yeah, but at the same time it, everything is made and it's built to kind of you know work with the rain.
對,不過這里的一切都是為了應對在下雨天工作而準備的。
A: Yeah, for instance, the clothes, right?
沒錯,比如衣服,對吧?
B: Yeah, the clothes and all the facilities, you know everything is made for that.
對,衣服,還有所有的設施,你知道所有的東西都是為了應對天氣設計的。
A: It's preparing for having a lot of water.
為了應對大量的雨水而準備的。
B: Yeah, exactly. If you have, I don't know, two or three days in a row that it's raining in Chile, we will have serious problems.
沒錯。如果智利連續(xù)下兩三天雨,那我們就會面臨嚴重的問題。
A: The same happens in Argentina.
阿根廷也是如此。
B: Floods and that would be an issue so for me the weather thing is I like rain, just a little bit.
可能會引發(fā)洪水等問題,對我來說,我喜歡下雨,但是不喜歡雨水太多。
A: Yeah, from time to time it's really nice.
對,偶爾下點雨還是很好的。
B: Yeah, exactly.
對,沒錯。
A: And enjoyable.
很享受。
B: Yeah.
對。
A: But every day? Yes, it's true. The thing is that the weather is changing, right?
可是每天下雨?沒錯,問題是天氣很多變,對吧?
B: Yeah.
對。
A: And the infrastructure of my country wasn't prepared for this weather.
我們國家的基礎設施并沒有準備好應對這種天氣。
B: That's true.
沒錯。
A: So if it rains a couple of days in a row, sometimes the city collapses.
如果連續(xù)下幾天雨,城市可能就毀了。
B: That's true. A lot of cities in Latin America have the same problem. They're poorly constructed and for that specific thing and we have a lot of problems especially with poor people. So when you talk about the weather I think it's not only your personal thing, sometimes you have to consider a couple of other factors as well.
沒錯。拉美很多城市都有同樣的問題。這些城市構造不佳,而且由于貧窮人口,我們有很多問題。所以在談論天氣時,我認為這并不是個人的事,也要考慮許多其他的因素。
A: And the public transport?
公共交通呢?
B: Yeah, I think that's another issue because for us public transportation is just a complete mess.
對,我認為公共交通是另一個問題,我們認為公共交通完全是一團糟。
A: There are a lot of public transport in Argentina but the thing is that all the infrastructure is not prepared for a lot of rain so when it happens sometimes the subway should stop for a couple of hours and that is very annoying.
阿根廷有很多公共交通工具,但是問題是所有的基礎設施都沒有為多雨天氣做準備,所以當連續(xù)下雨時,地鐵就會停運幾小時,這令人非常惱火。
B: Because it changes the whole schedule, right?
因為這會改變整個行程計劃,對吧?
A: Yes, definitely.
沒錯。
