地道美语听力播客948：再恐高，也没招！

Christine: Help me! I’m going to fall!

克里斯汀娜：帮我!我要掉下去了!

Asahi: You’re not going to fall. I’ve got you.

朝日：掉不下去，我抓着你。

Christine: Sorry, I have a fear of heights. I sometimes have panic attacks when I’m high up off the ground.

克里斯汀娜：抱歉，我恐高。 我有时离开地面的时候会有恐慌症。

Asahi: Okay, but we’re not very high up.

朝日：好，可是我们现在的位置还不是很高。

Christine: I know. My phobia is totally irrational.

克里斯汀娜：我知道，我恐高总是这么无厘头。

Asahi: That explains a lot, like why you live on the ground floor of your apartment building and why you didn’t want to go hiking near the cliffs.

朝日：恩，这下我明白了,为什么你住在公寓一楼,为什么不想去悬崖附近远足。

Christine: That’s right. I try to avoid any situations that will trigger my fear.

克里斯汀娜：没错。我试图尽量避免任何会引发恐惧的情况。

Asahi: So how do you travel? Do you ever fly?

朝日：那你如何旅行呢?坐过飞机吗?

Christine: The one time I flew in an airplane I experienced vertigo and I hyperventilated until we landed. I was really agitated because I thought I was going to die. It wasn’t pretty. That’s why I normally drive or take a train.

克里斯汀娜：有一次我在飞机上经历了眩晕，直到降落我还不断喘粗气。我当时非常激动，还以为我会死。那可不是什么光彩的事。我这就是为什么我通常都会选择开车或者搭乘火车。

Asahi: So I’m guessing no skydiving for you.

朝日：我猜你肯定也不敢跳伞。

Christine: Not unless you want to find out how my stomach reacts to heights!

克里斯汀娜：除非你想知道我的胃是对高度做出什么反应!
