Hi, Carol. Wow, what are those?
你好,卡蘿爾。喔,那些是什么?
Hello, Alex. Oh, these are some of the interesting inventions that I'm writing about for my English homework.
你好,亞歷克斯。哦,這些是英語家庭作業里我要寫到的一些有趣的發明。
I see…What's that, then?
我明白了。那個是什么?
They're shoes with lights. You use them for seeing in the dark when you get up at night.
它們是帶燈的鞋子。你在夜里起身的時候可以用它們照明。
Oh, that's a cool idea! I always hit my toe on something on the way to the bathroom at night.
哦,這個主意很酷啊!我晚上去廁所的時候老是撞倒腳趾。
Next is a special ice-cream scoop. This is my favorite invention. It runs on electricity and becomes hot.
下一個是特別的冰淇淋勺子。這是我最喜歡的發明。它是電動的會發熱。
I know what it’s for! It's used for serving really cold ice-cream.
我知道這是干嘛的!這是用來吃超冷冰淇淋的。
Yes, that's right! The last invention I’m going to write about is shoes with special heels. You can move the heels up and down.
是的,沒錯!我要寫的最后一個發明是帶有特殊高跟的鞋子。鞋跟可以上下移動。
What are they used for?
它們是用來干嘛的?
Well, you can change the style of your shoes. You can raise the heels if you are going to a party or lower them if you are just going out for shopping.
你可以變化鞋子的風格。如果你要去參加聚會,就可以增高鞋跟;如果你要去購物,就放下鞋跟。
