第7單元 實(shí)境電視
After several auditions and screenings, Shane and Eliza were going to be on a reality TV show. The show was called Double Dare. They were going to have to test their courage by performing daredevilstunts.
經(jīng)過(guò)幾次試音和試鏡后,夏恩和伊莉莎即將參加一個(gè)名為“勇氣十足”的實(shí)境電視節(jié)目。他們會(huì)進(jìn)行一些不怕死的驚險(xiǎn)動(dòng)作,來(lái)考驗(yàn)他們的勇氣。
The day of the show, they were both antsy. What were they going to have to do? They soon found out! The host of the show told them they had to run through a swamp that was filled with electric eels. Eliza couldn’t believe it. It was crazy.
節(jié)目開(kāi)拍那天,他們兩個(gè)都顯得坐立不安。他們到底要做什么呢?答案很快揭曉!節(jié)目主持人叫他們跑過(guò)一座滿(mǎn)是電鰻的沼澤。伊莉莎簡(jiǎn)直不敢相信,這根本是瘋了。
What if they were electrocuted? They rolled up their pants and when the host said, “Go!” they ran as fast as they could. About midway across, Shane stepped on an eel. The eels hissed andbit his ankle. Shane fell into the water. Eliza stopped running, “Come on, Shane,” she shouted. She went over to him and helped him out. He was limping now.
萬(wàn)一他們被電死該怎么辦?他們卷起褲管后,等主持人一說(shuō)“開(kāi)始!”,便全力沖刺。夏恩跑到一半左右踩到了一只電鰻,結(jié)果那只電鰻發(fā)出嘶嘶聲,然后咬了他的腳踝。夏恩掉到水里,伊莉莎跑到一半也停了下來(lái),大叫道:“快點(diǎn),夏恩。”她跑過(guò)去幫他,他現(xiàn)在得跛著腳前進(jìn)了。
They made it across the swamp in less than 10 minutes, which was the fastest time of all the contestants. They won ten thousand dollars, but Shane had to be rushed to the hospital to have his ankle looked at.
最后他們不到十分鐘便通過(guò)沼澤,是所有參賽者中最快的。雖然他們贏(yíng)得了一萬(wàn)塊獎(jiǎng)金,但夏恩得趕緊到醫(yī)院給醫(yī)生看看腳踝才行。
