托德:麻子,我們來(lái)聊聊阿拉斯加州。阿拉斯加有很多原野。有人說(shuō)阿拉斯加是世界上最原始的地區(qū)。你有去露營(yíng)或是徒步旅行嗎?
Asako: Oh, yeah. Camping almost every single weekend. That's a joke, but... Yeah, many times. I camped and of course people enjoy hiking, rock climbing. If you're not really an outdoor type, you can enjoy barbecuing, but yeah, some people do enjoy outdoor.
麻子:有。我基本上每周末都會(huì)去露營(yíng)。開(kāi)玩笑的,我去過(guò)很多次。我去過(guò)露營(yíng),人們喜歡徒步旅行和攀巖。如果你不喜歡室外運(yùn)動(dòng),那也可以享受燒烤,不過(guò)有人非常喜歡室外活動(dòng)。
Todd: Well, you know, Alaska is really famous for bears, so when you would go hiking or camping would ever see any bears?
托德:阿拉斯加的熊非常有名,你去遠(yuǎn)足和露營(yíng)時(shí)有看到過(guò)熊嗎?
Asako: Of course.
麻子:當(dāng)然看見(jiàn)過(guò)。
Todd: Seriously?
托德:真的嗎?
Asako: Yeah. Of course. Wolves. Bears. You can name it.
麻子:對(duì),我看到過(guò)狼和熊。你能說(shuō)出名字的基本都有。
Todd: Bears. Wolves.
托德:熊和狼。
Asako: Yeah.
麻子:對(duì)。
Todd: And people still go out there?
托德:那人們還是會(huì)到那些地方去?
Asako: Of course.
麻子:對(duì)啊。
Todd: Yeah, but aren't you afraid of the bears?
托德:那你們不怕熊嗎?
Asako: Well, you have to know what you are supposed to do, but yeah.
麻子:你要清楚自己要怎么做。
Todd: Well, what do you do?
托德:那你會(huì)怎么做?
Asako: Well, you have to be careful about what you would do with your food. You know. You don't put your leftovers anywhere you like. You have to be really careful with that, and also you have to know how you are supposed to act when you actually meet a bear when you are hiking, but if you have the right knowledge, you should be OK. Of course, still there are accidents but you should be OK.
麻子:處理食物的時(shí)候要小心。不能把剩菜隨便亂放。在這方面一定要非常小心,另外,你還要清楚在遠(yuǎn)足時(shí)遇到熊要怎么做,如果有正確的知識(shí),那就不會(huì)有危險(xiǎn)。當(dāng)然是有事故發(fā)生,不過(guò)一般沒(méi)什么危險(xiǎn)。
Todd: Wow! So what do you they tell you to do if you see a bear?
托德:哇!那如果看到熊要怎么辦?
Asako: Well, you're supposed to wave your hands.
麻子:嗯,要揮手。
Todd: Wave your hands. Up high?
托德:揮手,在空中揮手?
Asako: Up high.
麻子:在空中揮手。
Todd: So you seem taller?
托德:這樣讓你看起來(lái)更高嗎?
Asako: You seem taller and also bears have never seen animals doing stuff like that, so they get scared and leave. That's usually but when bears are really hungry, then you still, yeah, so there are bears that are really hungry and maybe look crazy, so you're still taking a chance, but.
麻子:是看起來(lái)更高,而且熊從來(lái)沒(méi)看到過(guò)動(dòng)物這么做,所以它們會(huì)感到害怕,然后離開(kāi)。一般情況下可以這么做,但是在熊非常饑餓的情況下,它們會(huì)變得非常瘋狂,不過(guò)你也可以這么做去碰碰運(yùn)氣。
Todd: Well, what about a wolf? Or wolves? Do you do the same thing for wolves?
托德:那遇到狼或狼群呢?也像遇到熊那樣做嗎?
Asako: Well, actually, the only wolves I've seen was in the Denali Park. I was in a car, so I didn't have any problems, so I really don't know what I am supposed to do when I meet wolves.
麻子:我只在丹那利國(guó)家公園看到過(guò)一次狼。當(dāng)時(shí)我在車(chē)?yán)?,所以沒(méi)發(fā)生什么事,不過(guò)我真的不知道要是遇到狼群應(yīng)該怎么辦。
Todd: Now for the local people, what do they consider more dangerous, a wolf or a bear?
托德:那對(duì)當(dāng)?shù)厝藖?lái)說(shuō),熊和狼哪個(gè)更危險(xiǎn)?
Asako: You don't see many wolves, but you do see a lot of bears so maybe bears.
麻子:一般不會(huì)看到太多狼,但是會(huì)看到很多熊,所以可能是熊更危險(xiǎn)。
Todd: Oh, yeah. Well, they both sound scary to me.
托德:好,對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)狼和熊都很可怕。
