Lesson 14: So Many Records!
第十四課:如此多的記錄!
THINK ABOUT IT!
Have you ever tried to ride your bike backwards?
Is it possible?What's the biggest melon you've ever seen?
How much do you think it weighed?
Why does Danny ask about a "56-kilogram donut"?
Danny,Brian and Jenny are looking at Brian's book of world records.
丹尼、布賴恩和詹妮正在看布賴恩的關于世界記錄的書。
"That's such a thick book," says Danny.
“那本書那么厚,”丹尼說,
"And it's so heavy."
“還很重。”
"Yes," Brian says.
“是啊,”布賴恩說,
"It's huge.It weighs almost three kilos!"
“它是挺大的,幾乎有三千克重!”
"I'm trying to break a world record," says Danny.
“我要設法打破一項世界記錄,”丹尼說,
"I would love to be in a book like that."
“我也想被載入史冊。”
Maybe we could find an unusual record.
也許我們能找到一項不同尋常的記錄。
Then you could try to break it.
然后你可以設法去打破它。
"It isn't easy," says Jenny.
“沒那么簡單,”詹妮說,
"People all over the world are trying to set new records."
“全世界的人都在努力地創造新的記錄。”
They look in the book.
他們在書上找著。
"Here's one," says Brian.
“這有一個,”布賴恩說,
"It's a man who can ride his bicycle backwards while playing the guitar."
“是一個能邊彈吉他邊倒騎自行車的人。”
"That is very unusual," says Danny,
“那很不尋常,”丹尼說,
"but it's impossible for me to break that record.
“但我不可能打破那項記錄。
I can't play the guitar.
我不會彈吉他。
And I tried riding my bicycle backwards once.
我也曾試過倒騎自行車。
It wasn't a good idea."
那可不是個好主意。”
"How about the world's biggest cabbage?" says Jenny.
“世界上最大的卷心菜怎么樣?”詹妮說,
"Somebody in England grew one that weighed more than 56 kilograms."
“英國有個人種出了一棵56多千克重的卷心菜。”
"That's such a large cabbage," says Danny.
“那么大的卷心菜,”丹尼說,
"I don't think I could lift it.
“我想我可舉不起來,
I also don't think I could grow it!"
我也覺得我不會種!”
"Keep looking,Brian," laughs Jenny.
“接著看,布賴恩,”詹妮笑道,
"We have to find an unusual record for Danny to break."
“我們得給丹尼找個他能破的不尋常的記錄。”
"Let me see that book,Brian," says Danny.
“讓我看看那本書,”丹尼說,
"Is there anything about a 56-kilogram donut?"
“有關于56千克重的油炸圈餅的記錄嗎?”
