Unit 7 Reality TV
After several auditions and screenings, Shane and Eliza were going to be on a reality TV show. The show was called Double Dare. They were going to have to test their courage by performing daredevil stunts.
經過幾次試音和試鏡后，夏恩和伊莉莎即將參加一個名為“勇氣十足”的實境電視節目。他們會進行一些不怕死的驚險動作，來考驗他們的勇氣。
The day of the show, they were both antsy. What were they going to have to do? They soon found out! The host of the show told them they had to run through a swamp that was filled with electric eels. Eliza couldn’t believe it. It was crazy.
節目開拍那天，他們兩個都顯得坐立不安。他們到底要做什么呢？答案很快揭曉！節目主持人叫他們跑過一座滿是電鰻的沼澤。伊莉莎簡直不敢相信，這根本是瘋了。
What if they were electrocuted? They rolled up their pants and when the host said, “Go!” they ran as fast as they could. About midway across, Shane stepped on an eel. The eels hissed and bit his ankle. Shane fell into the water. Eliza stopped running, “Come on, Shane,” she shouted. She went over to him and helped him out. He was limping now.
萬一他們被電死該怎么辦？他們卷起褲管后，等主持人一說“開始！”，便全力沖刺。夏恩跑到一半左右踩到了一只電鰻，結果那只電鰻發出嘶嘶聲，然后咬了他的腳踝。夏恩掉到水里，伊莉莎跑到一半也停了下來，大叫道：“快點，夏恩。”她跑過去幫他，他現在得跛著腳前進了。
They made it across the swamp in less than 10 minutes, which was the fastest time of all the contestants. They won ten thousand dollars, but Shane had to be rushed to the hospital to have his ankle looked at.
最后他們不到十分鐘便通過沼澤，是所有參賽者中最快的。雖然他們贏得了一萬塊獎金，但夏恩得趕緊到醫院給醫生看看腳踝才行。
