　　聽力內容：

　　Professor: Daphne took Roger on a camping trip, but Roger had a terrible time because he is from the city and isn't used to being in nature.

　　MC: 沒錯，Roger還說，Daphne讓他在野營時受罪，他一定要報這個仇。

　　Professor: Right. So today, he is taking Daphne to a car race.

　　MC: A car race? 賽車？賽車很精彩啊! 這算什么報仇？

　　Daphne: Roger, do you really find car races fun to go to? It's incredibly boring just watching the cars go around and around the track, and I can hardly breathe because of all the smoke and fumes!

　　Roger: You aren't having fun? Daphne, car racing is the most popular sport in America.

　　Daphne: I hate cars. They make so much pollution, which is creating holes in the ozone layer. And the environmental problems are only getting worse with global warming!

　　Roger: Daphne, cars are a part of American culture. Americans have always relied on cars instead of making do with public transportation.

　　哈，看來Daphne非常討厭賽車，就像Roger討厭露營一樣!

　　Professor: Right. Why doesn't Daphne like cars?

　　她說，汽車污染環境，傷害ozone layer - 臭氧層。不過Roger說， Americans don't make do with public transportation，這是什么意思呢？

　　Professor: When you "make do" with something, that means you accept it reluctantly.

　　哦，make do with something， 就是勉強接受某事。

　　Professor: Right. For example, "I really wanted to see the new horror movie that just came out. But because it was sold out, I had to make do with another movie, which wasn't very good."

　　Daphne: Roger, It's often difficult to see how your lifestyle impacts the world. But we need to prevent pollution by driving cars less and investing in renewable energy.

　　Roger: Why do you like the environment so much? It's full of mosquitoes that want to bite you, and bears that want to eat you!

　　Daphne: If you're not nice to nature, nature won't be nice to you. If the polar ice caps melt, ocean levels will rise and flood the coastal cities.

　　Roger: Oh Daphne, that isn't going to happen. You watch too

　　many movies.

　　我真想知道Daphne和Roger是怎么成朋友的，這倆人的看法相差十萬八千里! Daphne說， 人們應該盡量少開車，而且應該開發renewable energy--可再生能源。

　　Professor: Right. But what does Roger say?

　　Roger卻覺得，什么極地冰冠融化，海水淹沒城市都是嚇唬人的。他說，這些事情根本不會發生，Daphne是電影看多了，瞎操心。

　　Daphne: Roger, most scientists agree that global warming is real, and evidence shows that the polar ice caps have been melting.

　　Roger: Well what do you want me to do about it? I'm just one person. What can I do to make a difference?

　　Daphne: Well to start, you could buy more energy-efficient appliances. You could also think about buying an electric or hybrid car.

　　Roger: But I don't have the money for all that!

　　Daphne說，Roger應該從我做起，保護環境，所以要買more energy-efficient appliances--能源利用率更高的電器。Professor Bowman, Daphne的話使我想到，我應該把電腦關了，不寫作業了，這樣也可以為環保出力啊!

　　Professor: Nice try, Winnie!

　　Roger: Alright, Daphne. You've convinced me I need to do more for the environment. I'm going to stop washing my clothes in the laundry machine to save electricity, and stop taking showers to save water.

　　Daphne: What? Roger, there's no need to go crazy, you know.

　　Roger: But Daphne, I have to do my part to save the environment! I'm going to "recycle" my dirty socks and wear them over and over again.

　　Daphne: Roger, in that case the disgusting gasses given off by your body are going to make a bigger hole in the ozone layer than all the cars in the world combined!

　　哈哈，Roger說，為了節約能源，他決定不洗衣服，不洗澡了，而且要 recycle his dirty socks--把臟襪子一穿再穿!

　　Professor: Sounds like a good plan! It's nice that he is doing his part.

　　啊？您別開玩笑了! 如果Roger真這么做，只會更加污染環境! 就像Daphne說的那樣，Roger身上發出的臭氣會讓臭氧層空洞變大的!
