Y: Hi, 我是Yang Chen.

P:我是Patrick.

(Rowing)

Y:今天天氣特別好。我和Patrick正在波多馬克河上劃船。

P: Hey, Look over there! Aren't those girls members of the Potomac Boat Club?

Y: Let's go say hello to them.

Sarah: "Potomac boat Club is one of the best, kind of feeder programs onto the national team."

Y: 這是波多馬克劃艇俱樂(lè)部成員Sarah. Patrick，Sarah剛才說(shuō)的feeder programs，你知道是什么意思嗎?

P: Feeder program means.........

Y 沒(méi)錯(cuò)，這個(gè)俱樂(lè)部已經(jīng)送了10位選手進(jìn)國(guó)家隊(duì)了。

她們的教練是Matt Madigan: "Rowing is an expensive sport,. You have to travel. You have to have a car to transfer your boat. The equipment itself runs between 6000 and 12000 dollars for your own shell.."

Y: 他說(shuō)劃艇是一項(xiàng)expensive sport，原來(lái)那些設(shè)備都要自己買(mǎi)，國(guó)家不管啊?

P: They are basically on their own. Luckily for these rowers, a high-tech company called FortuisOne provides them a secure job, steady income and allow them to focus on their training.

Here is team member Ruth Stiver: "having found this job, I can manage both things and have both passions in my life."

Y: Ruth剛才說(shuō)這份工作滿足了both passions in her life. 看來(lái)每個(gè)人都要有兩個(gè)passions。

P: 不見(jiàn)得。我只有一個(gè)，Crew! Rowing!

Y: Patrick, 咱們今天別回去上班了，繼續(xù)劃船好嗎?

P: Lets keep on rowing. Yang Chen.
