Best Beach in Sri Lanka 斯里兰卡最棒的海滩
Widuri: Now, can you tell me more about another famous place in Sri Lanka?
威杜里：你能再介绍一个斯里兰卡的著名景点吗?
Danu: Sure. As I mentioned before, Sri Lanka is a beautiful island.
达努：当然可以。我之前提到过，斯里兰卡是一个美丽的岛国。
Widuri: Yes.
威杜里：对。
Danu: So Tooth Relic and the city of Kandy is right in the middle of Sri Lanka.
达努：我还提到了佛牙，而坎迪市就位于斯里兰卡中部。
Widuri: Oh, I see.
威杜里：哦，我知道了。
Danu: If you go to the coastal area, there are so many beautiful beaches.
达努：如果你去沿海地区，你会发现那里有很多美丽的海滩。
Widuri: Wow.
威杜里：哇哦。
Danu: And I will talk about the place called Marble Beach.
达努：我要介绍的地方名为大理石沙滩。
Widuri: Marble Beach.
威杜里：大理石沙滩。
Danu: Why do you think we call it the Marble Beach?
达努：你认为为什么那里名为大理石沙滩?
Widuri: Marble Beach. Maybe because the sands look like marble?
威杜里：大理石沙滩。可能是因为那里的沙子看上去像大理石?
Danu: Exactly. When you get in the sea, the sea bed looks like exactly like marble.
达努：完全正确。你在海里的时候，海底看上去非常像大理石。
Widuri: Wow.
威杜里：哇哦。
Danu: It's so blue, it shines when the sun is bright. You can see even from far away the blue sea bed of Marble Beach.
达努：海底是蓝色的，在阳光明媚的日子里，海底会闪闪发光。在远离大理石沙滩的地方也能看到蓝色的海底。
Widuri: Wow.
威杜里：哇哦。
Danu: And the best thing about the Marble Beach is for about 1 kilometer, the depth of water is the same. It's really, really shallow.
达努：大理石沙滩最棒的地方在于，那里的面积大约为1公里，水也很浅。非常浅。
Widuri: Oh yeah?
威杜里：真的吗?
Danu: So nobody drowns if you swim in Marble Beach. You can swim even if you cannot swim.
达努：所以没有人在大理石沙滩游泳会溺水。即使你不会游泳，也可以在那里游泳。
Widuri: Oh really?
威杜里：哦，真的吗?
Danu: Yes. And since Sri Lanka is a tropical country, if it is not the rainy season, Marble Beach will be filled with people from outside Sri Lanka as well as with the people from Sri Lanka, local people and foreign people because tourists, they love to do sun bathing.
达努：对。斯里兰卡是热带国家，如果不是雨季，那大理石沙滩会挤满来自世界各地的游客，当然也有斯里兰卡本地人，既有当地人也有外国人，因为游客喜欢晒日光浴。
Widuri: Yeah, they are. Have you visited that Marble Beach?
威杜里：对，没错。你去过大理石沙滩吗?
Danu: Yes, so many times. Usually, my friends and we do road trips to this place because the road to Marble Beach is very beautiful and especially, there is no police in this area so you can drive freely.
达努：我去过很多次。通常，我会和朋友开车去，因为通往大理石沙滩的那条公路非常漂亮，而且那里没有警察，你可以自由自在地开车。
Widuri: Oh I see. So you mentioned that Kandy is in the middle of Sri Lanka and this one is in the southern part.
威杜里：我知道了。你刚提到坎迪位于斯里兰卡中部，而大理石沙滩位于斯里兰卡南部。
Danu: No. Kandy is in the central part of Sri Lanka and Marble Beach in northeastern part of Sri Lanka.
达努：不是。坎迪位于斯里兰卡中部，大理石沙滩位于斯里兰卡东北部。
Widuri: Is it far?
威杜里：这两个地方离得远吗?
Danu: It is roughly 170 kilometers from my city.
达努：大理石沙滩离我的家乡城市坎迪大约170公里。
Widuri: Oh, not so far. Interesting. Any other famous place near those two places?
威杜里：哦，不是太远。有意思。这两个地方附近还有其他著名景点吗?
Danu: Oh yes, sure. Near Marble Beach, there's another Hindu temple.
达努：哦，当然有了。在大理石沙滩附近，还有一座印度教寺庙。
Widuri: Okay.
威杜里：好。
Danu: And the landscape of this temple is very interesting because in Sri Lanka, usually, around the beach, around the coastal area, there are no highlands or mountains. But this exact Hindu temple is situated on a little mountain right next to Marble Beach. And if you look down from the Hindu temple, it's like a cliff. It's like a straight fall into the water.
达努：这座寺庙的景色非常特别，因为在斯里兰卡，通常海滩和海岸地区附近，没有高地或高山。但是这座印度教寺庙就坐落在大理石沙滩旁边的一座小山上。如果你从这座寺庙往下看，看上去就像悬崖一样。好像会直接掉入水中一样。
Widuri: Wow.
威杜里：哇哦。
Danu: So there had been people jumping off from here and trying to suicide as well.
达努：所以，有人会从那里跳下去，试图自杀。
Widuri: Oh really?
威杜里：真的吗?
Danu: As an offering to the god.
达努：作为上帝的祭品。
Widuri: Wow.
威杜里：哇哦。
Danu: Yeah.
达努：嗯。
Widuri: That's a bit scary. But it's so interesting. So near that Marble Beach, we have the beautiful cliff plus the Hindu temple.
威杜里：那有些吓人。不过也很有意思。在大理石沙滩附近，有美丽的悬崖和印度教寺庙。
Danu: That's true.
达努：没错。
Widuri: Very interesting. Wow, I definitely want to go there. I will stay at your house and then we go to both...
威杜里：真有趣。哇哦，我一定要去那里游玩。我可以住在你家，然后我们两个一起去……
Danu: Temple of the Tooth Relic...
达努：佛牙寺……
Widuri: Yes, and then...
威杜里：对，还有……
Danu: And the Marble Beach.
达努：大理石沙滩。
Widuri: The Marble Beach and then to the Hindu temple.
威杜里：去大理石沙滩，然后去那座印度教寺庙。
Danu: Definitely, I'll be your guide.
达努：一定要去，我可以当你的导游。
Widuri: Oh thank you, Danu.
威杜里：哦，谢谢你，达努。
Danu: Thank you, Widuri.
达努：谢谢你，威杜里。
Music Appreciation 音乐鉴赏
John: So Sarah, do you play any musical instruments?
约翰：萨拉，你会演奏乐器吗?
Sarah: Yeah. I play two. I love to play the guitar. I started playing in college, and I like to play the piano, too. I started learning the piano when I was really young. How about you?
萨拉：会。我会两种乐器。我喜欢弹吉他。我在大学时开始学吉他，我也喜欢弹钢琴。我很小的时候就开始学钢琴。你呢?
John: Oh that's interesting. For me, I started playing the trumpet when I was really young, and I don't play it much anymore. But I started playing the piano when I finished high school, and I still play it now.
约翰：哦，这很有趣。我从很小的时候开始学小号，不过我现在已经不再吹小号了。我高中毕业以后开始学钢琴，我现在还在弹钢琴。
Sarah: Oh wow. So you started learning the piano when you were older.
萨拉：哇哦。你长大以后才开始学钢琴。
John: Yes.
约翰：对。
Sarah: Do you think people can start to learn an instrument at any age?
萨拉：你认为人们在任何年龄都可以学乐器吗?
John: Yes, I think so. Do you have a theory about that?
约翰：对，我认为可以。你对此有什么见解?
Sarah: Yeah. I think that if people start to play an instrument when they're older, I think they enjoy it more because they chose to learn it. And I think they're going to play it longer. But if you have to learn an instrument when you're younger, I think you won't continue playing it.
萨拉：嗯。我认为，如果人们长大以后才开始学乐器，那他们会更享受，因为是他们自己选择要学的。而且他们演奏乐器的时间会更长。但是，如果你在小时候被要求去学一种乐器，那你不会坚持演奏。
John: Oh, because you have to practice for homework or something like that.
约翰：哦，因为你不得不在写完作业后练习。
Sarah: Yeah. I have five brothers. And we all learned how to play the piano, but as soon as my brothers graduated from high school and went away, they stopped playing the piano. And they don't play it now. In fact, they forgot everything.
萨拉：对。我有5个兄弟。我们都学钢琴，可是我兄弟们高中一毕业就不再弹钢琴了。他们现在也不弹。实际上，他们已经都忘了。
John: Oh, wow.
约翰：哇哦。
Sarah: Yeah.
萨拉：对。
John: Well, I do think that music education is very important for children because reading sheet music is like reading a language. And children can learn it much easier than adults learn. So no matter what instrument you play, if you're a child you learn how to read music.
约翰：我认为儿童的音乐教育非常重要，因为看乐谱就像读语言一样。相比成年人来说，儿童学得更容易。所以，无论是何种乐器，从儿童时期开始学习乐谱比较好。
Sarah: And I think too, it's really important for kids to be a part of a group like that. For example, singing in the choir or playing music in the orchestra, I think it's really good for kids to learn to work together and make music as a team. I have some really good memories about being a young kid in the orchestra.
萨拉：我也这样认为，对儿童来说，参加音乐团体非常重要。举例来说，可以参加合唱团或管弦乐团，我认为学习合作以及像团队一样做音乐，对儿童来说很有益处。我小时候在管弦乐团有很多美好的记忆。
John: Me too. I was also in choir and orchestra and marching band. So I don't play the orchestra instruments anymore and I don't play the marching band instruments anymore but I'm very glad that I had the experience of learning to read music and learning to work together as a team.
约翰：我也是。我参加了合唱团、管弦乐团和行进乐队。我现在已经不再演奏管弦乐器，我也不再演奏行进乐队的乐器，不过我很高兴我有这种经历，能学习乐谱，学习团队合作。
Sarah: That's true. Me too. Okay. I changed my mind. Even little kids, they should learn how to play a musical instrument.
萨拉：没错。我也是。好。我改变想法了。每个小孩都应该学一种乐器。
Cut the Music 取消音乐课
John: So Sarah, when I was a kid, my school had the usual classes and we could take band class orchestra class, choir class, and art class if we wanted to take it.
约翰：萨拉，我小时候学校有常规课，如果我们想的话，我们可以上乐队课、管弦乐课、合唱课和艺术课。
Sarah: Uh-hmm.
萨拉：嗯。
John: But nowadays, school are cutting art programs and music programs.
约翰：可是现在，学校缩减了艺术课和音乐课。
Sarah: Yeah. I think it's too bad. I think that it's really important for students to take these art classes or music classes. I think it's important for adults to be well-rounded. Even though math and science are so important, I think it's also important that we know a little bit about poetry and art and music and things like that.
萨拉：对。这太糟糕了。我认为对学生来说，参加这些艺术课和音乐课非常重要。对成年人来说，多方面发展很重要。虽然数学和科学也很重要，但是我认为了解诗歌、艺术和音乐之类的知识也很重要。
John: Yeah. So in these schools where art programs and music programs are being cut, maybe sometimes they still have clubs so students can join the music club after school. But I think it's not enough. Students should have the option of taking band class during school. Maybe they can't stay after school and join a club.
约翰：对。那些缩减艺术项目和音乐项目的学校，可能会保留一些社团，学生在放学以后可以参加音乐社团之类的。不过我认为那并不够。学生应该可以选择在校期间参加乐队课。也许他们放学后不能留下参加社团。
Sarah: Yeah, that's right. You say they should have the option. But I think students should be required to take a few classes like that.
萨拉：对，没错。你刚说他们应该可以选择。不过我认为学生应该被要求参加这些课程。
John: Oh, that's a good idea.
约翰：哦，这是个不错的想法。
Sarah: Uh-hmm.
萨拉：咽。
John: Do you think that students should be required to try all of those classes?
约翰：你认为学生应该被要求参加所有这类课程吗?
Sarah: Maybe. I think so, but of course, maybe they don't have time to take a full year of art class. But I think they can take a class where they can study art and music and things like that.
萨拉：也许吧。我同意，不过，也许他们没有时间参加一整年的艺术课程。不过我认为他们可以参加一门既可以学习艺术又可以学习音乐的课程。
John: And poetry and theatre.
约翰：还有诗歌和戏剧。
Sarah: Yes, all together.
萨拉：对，一起学。
John: Oh, that's a good idea.
约翰：哦，这是个不错的主意。
Sarah: I think maybe it's related. Even in elementary school these days in America, they're making recess time so short. They say, "We don't have time for recess, for art class, for music. We have to focus on math and science and reading." But I think students won't listen and learn as well if they don't have time to play or sing or dance.
萨拉：我认为那可能有联系。现在在美国，就连小学都在缩短休息时间。他们认为，“我们没有时间休息，没有时间给艺术课和音乐课。我们必须将重点放在数学、科学和阅读上。”但是我认为，如果学生没有时间玩、唱歌或跳舞，那他们也不会听课和学习。
John: Yeah, some schools, it's getting very bad. In fact, I heard about a school where the kids don't have gym class. They don't have P.E., and instead of P.E. class, they took the after lunch recess and they said, "Before kids can play by themselves, they must run three laps on the track."
约翰：对，有些学校的情况非常糟糕。实际上，我听说有所学校甚至没有体育课。他们没有设置体育课，而是利用午饭后的休息时间让孩子们锻炼，他们说“在孩子们可以自由活动之前，他们必须在操场上跑三圈。”
Sarah: Oh.
萨拉：哦。
John: So they took away the gym class and they take away the free time.
约翰：所以，他们取消了体育课，还占用了自由时间。
Sarah: Boy, I don't want to go that school.
萨拉：我可不想去那种学校。
John: Yeah.
约翰：对。
