原版英語(yǔ)對(duì)話(huà)1000個(gè):271 Elephants
Adrienne: So, Rob, tell me why you don't like elephants!
Rob: Why don't I like elephants? It's a long story. I was traveling in India with a friend of mine and one night we decided to spent the night in a national park, looking at wildlife, and we were staying in a small hut, and to get to the hut we had to walk across a swamp, and we had to take a boat, then we had to walk across another swamp, and after walking for about half an hour we reached the hut, all upon big lakes about 20 meters up in the air, and I climbed the steps and when I got to the top of the steps, on the other side of the hut there was a huge snake, about 3 or 4 meters long, a cobra.
Adrienne: Wow!
Rob: I hate snakes. I absolutely hate snakes. So I ran down the steps and said to my friend, "I am not staying here. I can not sleep in this place" And we thought about what to do, and there was a village maybe two kilometers away, so my friend walked to the village to find out whether someone could come and scare away the snake and she came back and said, the people said there is no way, we can not scare the snake off. Do you think we're crazy? We are not fighting the snake, but you can stay in our huts. You can stay in the village, so we started walking back to the village, and this was about half past six, seven o'clock in the evening and the sun was going down and as we were walking through the jungle we heard all sorts of noises from other parts of the forest and there was lots of rustling noises, and oh look, there must be some other animals, wow, cool, some animals and then after a little while a big pig appeared in the middle of the path (Wow) and we thought, "Oh, it's a pig" Pigs are not very exciting but it seemed exciting at the time and then the pig went walking off in the opposite directions and after about 2 minutes the same pig "bang" came running back in front us. We didn't know what had happened, but we could still hear the noises coming slowly, and slowly towards us, and after a little while the noises started getting louder and louder and louder and then we stopped and at the side of the path in front of us we saw a trunk appear, just one trunk appear, only the trunk, off to the side of the path, and then another trunk, and then another trunk, so there were three trunks and I was like "Wow, elephants, great" and then one of the elephants came out onto the path and looked right at us and then we were not so happy, but we thought we're unyielding, we're tourist, so we took photos of the elephants but unfortunately my camera flashed and the elephant was very unhappy, "RRRR" but he did nothing. He just stood, but we knew he was angry so we ran and hid behind a tree and after about ten minutes we thought, OK, the elephants will have gone so we started walking down the path again, and all the bushes and the grass was above our heads and then we suddenly came to an area where the grass was only two or three feet high, so we could see big area again and we looked over to our left and there were three elephants staring right at us, waiting for us, maybe about 30 meters away, and unfortunately at school in England they don't tell you what to do if you see an elephant, so we didn't know, should we walk past, should we run, should we make lots of noise, so we decided to walk, do nothing, don't do anything suddenly, just walk, and we walked about two or three steps and there was this sudden "RRRRRRRRRRR" Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Adrienne: Oh, my god!
Rob: In one second we looked at each other, "Run" I was carrying a rucksack, so I was running very slowly. My friend ran very fast. I was running with the rucksack and then I dropped the rucksack and I jumped into a bush. Unfortunately it was a thorn bush, so I cut myself lots (Oh, know) and three elephants decided I looked, maybe they thought I looked more delicious than my friend, so they came after me and the three elephants came charging over on top of me and I was underneath one of the elephants and it kicked me on the left leg and then I just, and then went past making lots of noise trying to scare us off
Adrienne: Were you OK?
Rob: I was OK that night but my leg was completely black the next day cause I had a huge bruise from where the elephant had kicked me and I have lots of cuts and bruises from the bushes and they broke my rucksack which I was very unhappy about and then we continued walking to the village which was only about 50 meters away and there was a large group of other tourists watching the elephants playing in the lane, and "How wonderful! Are they sweet? Aren't they lovely?" No!
Adrienne: Sounds very frightening!
Rob: I don't like elephants!
