 => 每日会话 

 <播放语音>

The next day; on the way to Timpanogos Caves
Jun: Look at those guys rock climbing! They're so fast! Look, lots of people are watching!
Bob: Good eye! Let's pull over and watch, too. [they pull over]
Jun: I took a climbing class once and learned how to belay and tie knots, but I've never seen anything like this.
Bob: Well, you should have told us earlier. We've got lots of gear at home. Carabiners, rock shoes, harnesses, everything you need.

(续上期)

隔天,去堤潘诺格斯洞穴的路上
小君:看看那些在攀岩的家伙!他们好快喔!看,好多人都在看耶!
鲍伯:好眼力!我们把车停在路边也去看看吧。(他们停到路边)
小君:我上过一次攀岩课,学会怎么做制绳确保和绑绳结,但是我没看过像这样的。
鲍伯:啊,你该早点跟我们说。我们家里的配备很多呢。登山用的铁锁、攀岩鞋、攀岩带,应有尽有。


重点解说:

★ rock climbing 攀岩。belay (v.) 攀岩中做‘制绳确保’的动作,以防同伴下坠。tie knots 是‘绑绳结’
★ Good eye! 好眼力!
★ pull over (把车)开到路边停下来
★ gear (n.) 工具,设备。carabiner (n.) 登山用铁锁。harnesses (n.) 攀岩带

 
 => 每日背诵小段落 

  <播放语音>

To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. But they usually don't try that at work.

对美国人来说,守时是一种尊重他人时间的表现。通常若约会迟到超过10分钟,就应该向对方道歉或解释原因。知道自己会迟到的人往往会先打个电话,让对方知道自己会晚一点到。当然,会面场合愈不正式,精确准时的重要性就愈小。举例来说,在非正式的聚会中,人们往往会在约定时间过后30分钟才到,不过,他们上班通常就不会这样做。
