实战口语情景对话：Aussie Animals 澳大利亚的动物

Todd: So, Aaron, in America we have this image of Australia being very rugged and all these dangerous animals. So is that true?

托德：亚伦，我们美国对澳大利亚的印象是，澳大利亚崎岖不平，而且有许多危险的动物。这是真的吗?

Aaron: It's not so true, but it's not so wrong. The three main animals that are dangerous in Australia, one is the crocodile, two are snakes, and three are spiders. We have some deadly spiders in Australia and some deadly snakes, but the crocodiles aren't as dangerous, as you think.

亚伦：真实情况并不是这样，不过也没有错太多。澳大利亚有三种动物非常危险，它们是鳄鱼，蛇，还有蜘蛛。我们澳大利亚有一些致命的蜘蛛，还有一些致命的蛇，不过鳄鱼并不像你想象的那样危险。

Todd: Really.

托德：真的吗。

Aaron: Unless you go swimming in crocodile water, you never see them and they're only in small parts of the north. They're not in the cities and the same with the spiders and the snakes. You never seen one. I've never seen one, and I don't think I ever will unless I go looking for it.

亚伦：除非你去鳄鱼出没的水域游泳，否则你是不会见到鳄鱼的，只有北部的一小块区域有鳄鱼。它们并不生活在城市里，同样蜘蛛和蛇也是如此。你不会看到。我从来没有见过，我想我从来没看到过，除非我去找它们。

Todd: Oh, that's interesting.

托德：哦，这很有趣。

Aaron: If you see one, you shouldn't play with it. It's not toy.

亚伦：如果你看见的话，你不应该和它玩耍。它可不是玩具。

Todd: Yeah! What about the sharks?

托德：没错!那鲨鱼呢?

Aaron: Sharks! Again, I've never seen one, but they do attack people, and they are a little bit dangerous, but it's more dangerous to cross the road, than to go swimming.

亚伦：鲨鱼!再说一次，我从来没见过鲨鱼，不过它们确实会袭击人类，它们有一定的危险性，不过相比来说，过马路要比游泳危险。
