　　听力内容：

　　Professor: Daphne took Roger on a camping trip, but Roger had a terrible time because he is from the city and isn't used to being in nature.

　　MC: 没错，Roger还说，Daphne让他在野营时受罪，他一定要报这个仇。

　　Professor: Right. So today, he is taking Daphne to a car race.

　　MC: A car race? 赛车？赛车很精彩啊! 这算什么报仇？

　　Daphne: Roger, do you really find car races fun to go to? It's incredibly boring just watching the cars go around and around the track, and I can hardly breathe because of all the smoke and fumes!

　　Roger: You aren't having fun? Daphne, car racing is the most popular sport in America.

　　Daphne: I hate cars. They make so much pollution, which is creating holes in the ozone layer. And the environmental problems are only getting worse with global warming!

　　Roger: Daphne, cars are a part of American culture. Americans have always relied on cars instead of making do with public transportation.

　　哈，看来Daphne非常讨厌赛车，就像Roger讨厌露营一样!

　　Professor: Right. Why doesn't Daphne like cars?

　　她说，汽车污染环境，伤害ozone layer - 臭氧层。不过Roger说， Americans don't make do with public transportation，这是什么意思呢？

　　Professor: When you "make do" with something, that means you accept it reluctantly.

　　哦，make do with something， 就是勉强接受某事。

　　Professor: Right. For example, "I really wanted to see the new horror movie that just came out. But because it was sold out, I had to make do with another movie, which wasn't very good."

　　Daphne: Roger, It's often difficult to see how your lifestyle impacts the world. But we need to prevent pollution by driving cars less and investing in renewable energy.

　　Roger: Why do you like the environment so much? It's full of mosquitoes that want to bite you, and bears that want to eat you!

　　Daphne: If you're not nice to nature, nature won't be nice to you. If the polar ice caps melt, ocean levels will rise and flood the coastal cities.

　　Roger: Oh Daphne, that isn't going to happen. You watch too

　　many movies.

　　我真想知道Daphne和Roger是怎么成朋友的，这俩人的看法相差十万八千里! Daphne说， 人们应该尽量少开车，而且应该开发renewable energy--可再生能源。

　　Professor: Right. But what does Roger say?

　　Roger却觉得，什么极地冰冠融化，海水淹没城市都是吓唬人的。他说，这些事情根本不会发生，Daphne是电影看多了，瞎操心。

　　Daphne: Roger, most scientists agree that global warming is real, and evidence shows that the polar ice caps have been melting.

　　Roger: Well what do you want me to do about it? I'm just one person. What can I do to make a difference?

　　Daphne: Well to start, you could buy more energy-efficient appliances. You could also think about buying an electric or hybrid car.

　　Roger: But I don't have the money for all that!

　　Daphne说，Roger应该从我做起，保护环境，所以要买more energy-efficient appliances--能源利用率更高的电器。Professor Bowman, Daphne的话使我想到，我应该把电脑关了，不写作业了，这样也可以为环保出力啊!

　　Professor: Nice try, Winnie!

　　Roger: Alright, Daphne. You've convinced me I need to do more for the environment. I'm going to stop washing my clothes in the laundry machine to save electricity, and stop taking showers to save water.

　　Daphne: What? Roger, there's no need to go crazy, you know.

　　Roger: But Daphne, I have to do my part to save the environment! I'm going to "recycle" my dirty socks and wear them over and over again.

　　Daphne: Roger, in that case the disgusting gasses given off by your body are going to make a bigger hole in the ozone layer than all the cars in the world combined!

　　哈哈，Roger说，为了节约能源，他决定不洗衣服，不洗澡了，而且要 recycle his dirty socks--把脏袜子一穿再穿!

　　Professor: Sounds like a good plan! It's nice that he is doing his part.

　　啊？您别开玩笑了! 如果Roger真这么做，只会更加污染环境! 就像Daphne说的那样，Roger身上发出的臭气会让臭氧层空洞变大的!
