Well, hello everyone. I hope you are all well. And I didn't see you last week because we had a week break between our books. And we're going to start some new stories.
嗯，大家好。我希望你們都很好。我們上周沒(méi)有開(kāi)課，因?yàn)樵谟咨賰簩?dǎo)讀第5、6季之間，我們有一周的休息時(shí)間。從今天起，我們將開(kāi)始閱讀一些新故事。
Somany children haveread the Oxford Reading Tree. There are set of books which go from a very early age, right the way through to when you are quite a bit older. Some of them are really complicated books.
很多孩子都讀過(guò)《牛津閱讀樹(shù)》的書(shū)籍?！杜＝蜷喿x樹(shù)》是一套系列叢書(shū)，從很小的年齡段開(kāi)始，一直到比較高的年齡段，進(jìn)行分級(jí)閱讀。系列中包含了一些閱讀難度較高的書(shū)籍。
And lots of you have read these stories, so you will know about Biff, Chip and Kipper. And some of the really early books are very very simple. And I didn't want to do those.
你們中的很多人都讀過(guò)這些故事，因此會(huì)認(rèn)識(shí)其中的人物：畢夫、奇普和基珀。其中一些面向年幼孩子的故事內(nèi)容非常簡(jiǎn)單。而我也不打算導(dǎo)讀那些故事。
But what they do do are a series of books which are really for adults to read to children, but for children that are quite good readers can read them themselves.
但《牛津閱讀樹(shù)》中的一系列書(shū)籍，是需要大人讀給孩子們聽(tīng)的書(shū)籍，不過(guò)對(duì)于閱讀能力很強(qiáng)的孩子來(lái)說(shuō)，他們也可以自行閱讀。
So I was brought up when I was a teacher at a school, when I taught younger children, we did lots of the Oxford Reading Tree. And they're really nice stories. And the reason that they're really nice stories is that they help you to learn to read, and learn new words, but they're also quite nice little stories in themselves.
所以當(dāng)我在一所學(xué)校里當(dāng)老師的時(shí)候，當(dāng)我負(fù)責(zé)教授年幼的孩子們時(shí)，我們讀了《牛津閱讀樹(shù)》的很多書(shū)籍。它們是非常好的故事。它們是非常好的故事，是因?yàn)樗鼈兡軒椭銓W(xué)會(huì)閱讀，并學(xué)習(xí)新單詞，但它們本身也是相當(dāng)不錯(cuò)的小故事。
Now I'm going to share the screen. And this one is called Learning to Swim. Now, I really hope that you have learned to swim, or for some of you are learning to swim. It's a really important skill to learn. And there's two reasons why.
現(xiàn)在我將分享屏幕。這個(gè)故事叫做《第一次學(xué)游泳》。我真希望你們已經(jīng)學(xué)會(huì)了游泳，或者是正在學(xué)習(xí)游泳。這是一項(xiàng)應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)的重要技能。原因有二。
First of all, swimming is great fun. It's a really good sport to keep you really fit and healthy. That's always really important, isn't it? Any sport that we do is really important.
首先，游泳是非常有趣的。這是一項(xiàng)很好的運(yùn)動(dòng)，可以使你保持身體健康。這始終是非常重要的，不是嗎？我們所做的任何運(yùn)動(dòng)都是非常重要的。
But the main reason why learning to swim is important is also for your safety. Because depending where you live, you might at some time find yourself in water. And water, as you will know, is something that we need to drink.
但我們要學(xué)會(huì)游泳的主要原因也是為了自己的安全著想。因?yàn)楦鶕?jù)你居住的地方，你可能在某些時(shí)候會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己落入水中。而水，正如你所知道的，是我們需要飲用的東西。
But water can also be quite dangerous when we have places like swimming pools and lakes and ponds and streams. If we ever find ourselves in water, we fall into the water, learning to swim can actually save your life.
但是當(dāng)我們有游泳池、湖泊、池塘和溪流等地方時(shí)，水也可能是相當(dāng)危險(xiǎn)的存在，如果我們發(fā)現(xiàn)自己落入水中，我們掉入水中，那么，學(xué)會(huì)游泳就可以拯救你的生命。
And where I live in England, I live by the seaside. The sea is about...I have to get in my car, but it's probably about 10 minutes from my house. There's a very big city called Brighton, which isn't very far from me and has the seaside, but I actually have somewhere a little bit closer.
我在英國(guó)居住的地方就在海邊。去海邊的話……我得開(kāi)車過(guò)去，但距離我家大概只有10分鐘的路程。有一個(gè)叫做布萊頓的大城市，它距離我家不遠(yuǎn)，也靠近海邊，但我家這邊的海濱離我更近一些。
And for my own children, they're grown up now, but when they were little, when we took them to the seaside, it was really important that they could swim. So they could go into the sea and really enjoy it without it being dangerous.
對(duì)于我自己的孩子來(lái)說(shuō)，雖然她們已經(jīng)長(zhǎng)大了，但在她們小時(shí)候，我們會(huì)帶她們?nèi)ズ＿呌瓮妗Ｒ虼藢W(xué)會(huì)游泳對(duì)她們而言非常重要，這樣當(dāng)她們?cè)诤＠锏臅r(shí)候，可以真正地享受其中，不會(huì)有什么危險(xiǎn)發(fā)生。
Now, the sea is always a dangerous place. If you swim out too far you can get into trouble. But when you're just playing in by the beach, it's really important that you can swim in the sea. Otherwise, it could be really dangerous.
現(xiàn)在，大?？偸且粋€(gè)危險(xiǎn)的地方。如果你游得離岸邊太遠(yuǎn)，就會(huì)遇到麻煩。但當(dāng)你只是在海灘邊玩耍時(shí)，能在海里游泳真的很重要。否則的話，就會(huì)變得非常危險(xiǎn)。
So actually, learning to swim saves lives as well. So it's a very important thing to do.
所以，實(shí)際上，學(xué)會(huì)游泳還能拯救生命。因此，這是一件非常重要的事情。
And this story is called Learning to Swim.
這個(gè)故事叫做《第一次學(xué)游泳》。
////故事正文開(kāi)始////
「The family went to the swimming pool. Kipper was going to have his first swimming lesson. 」
「基珀一家去了游泳館。基珀要在這里上他的第一堂游泳課。」
「His friend Anna was going to the lesson too. Kipper was glad that she would be there. He was feeling a bit scared.」
「他的朋友安娜也一起上課。基珀很高興安娜和他一起上課。因?yàn)?/span>他感到有點(diǎn)害怕。」
So here we have the pictureof the swimming pool. And you can see somebody, look, can you see their feet? They're sticking out of the water. I think they're being a bit silly in the swimming pool. It's quite good fun to do that. I wonder whether you have ever done that. It's we call it doing a handstand.
所以在這里，我們看到了游泳館的樣子。而且你能看到有些人……看哪，你能看到他們的腳嗎？他們的腳伸出了水面。我認(rèn)為他們?cè)谟斡境乩锏谋憩F(xiàn)有點(diǎn)傻。但這樣做是相當(dāng)有趣的。我想知道你是否曾經(jīng)做過(guò)這種事呢？我們將這個(gè)動(dòng)作稱為“倒立”。
So the family were going to the swimming pool. Kipper was going to have his first swimming lesson. His friend Anna was going to the lesson too. Remember, that means “as well”.
所以，基珀一家去了游泳館。基珀要在那里上他的第一堂游泳課。他的朋友安娜也一起上這堂課。記住，“too”是“aswell（也）”的意思。
Kipper was glad that she would be there. He was feeling a bit scared. Why do you think he might be feeling a little bit scared? Hmm...it's a difficult question, isn't it?
基珀很高興安娜能和他一起上課。因?yàn)?/span>他感到有點(diǎn)害怕。你認(rèn)為他為什么會(huì)感到有點(diǎn)害怕呢？嗯……這是一個(gè)難以回答的問(wèn)題，不是嗎？
It might, probably, a better word to probably say, was that he would be feeling a little bit nervous. Feeling a little bit “nervous” rather than saying “scared”. And you sometimes might feel a little bit nervous if you were doing something which was a little bit new. And as I said at the beginning, sometimes swimming can be a little bit dangerous. So we have to be very careful.
或許，我們有一個(gè)更好的詞語(yǔ)來(lái)形容他的心情，那就是他可能會(huì)感到有點(diǎn)“nervous（緊張）”。感到有點(diǎn)緊張（nervous），而不是感到害怕（scared）。如果你在做一件稍微有點(diǎn)新鮮的事物，你有時(shí)可能會(huì)感到有點(diǎn)緊張。而且正如我在開(kāi)始時(shí)所說(shuō)，游泳有時(shí)候可能有點(diǎn)危險(xiǎn)。所以我們必須非常小心。
「Dad took Kipper and Chip to get changed. They had a shower. 」
「爸爸帶著基珀和奇普去換衣服。他們洗了個(gè)澡。」
「Biff and Chip were going to have a swimming lesson too.」
「畢夫和奇普也要上游泳課。」
「“We're learning to swimon our backs,” said Biff.」
「“我們要學(xué)習(xí)仰泳。”畢夫說(shuō)。」
Now, I wonder if you can work out why you should have a shower before you get into the swimming pool. Yes, that's right, I'm sure you will guess it. It's really important that we wash off any dirt on our body before we actually get into the pool, otherwise, it might not be very nice for all of the other people.
現(xiàn)在，我想知道你是否想到為什么我們?cè)谶M(jìn)游泳池之前，需要先洗個(gè)澡呢？是的，沒(méi)錯(cuò)，我相信你會(huì)猜到的。在我們進(jìn)入游泳池之前，把身上的污垢洗掉真的很重要，否則，對(duì)所有其他人來(lái)說(shuō)，可能就不是很好了。
And what a Biff and Chip doing in this story? Well, they've got their own swimming lesson, and they're learning how to swim on their backs. So sometimes we swim on our front, we do something called front crawl or breaststroke, but sometimes we learn to swim on our backs.
畢夫和奇普在這個(gè)故事里要做什么呢？他們有自己的游泳課，他們要學(xué)習(xí)如何仰泳。所以，有時(shí)我們會(huì)俯身游泳，我們會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)一些叫做自由泳或蛙泳的姿勢(shì)，但有時(shí)我們也會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)仰泳。
I got to tell you a bit of a secret: I'm not very good at swimming on my back. I like swimming on my front. I don't really like swimming on my back very much. I'm not very good at it.
我得告訴你一個(gè)小秘密：我不太擅長(zhǎng)仰泳。我喜歡俯身游泳。我不太喜歡仰泳。我不是很擅長(zhǎng)仰泳。
But it isone of those funny things with swimming, is that often in sport, we often think that “Oh, adults would be really good at it.” but actually swimming is one of those things that sometimes children are even better swimming than adults.
但關(guān)于游泳的有趣之處在于，在體育運(yùn)動(dòng)中，我們時(shí)常會(huì)認(rèn)為“噢，成年人會(huì)更擅長(zhǎng)做這個(gè)運(yùn)動(dòng)”，但實(shí)際上，游泳是那些兒童甚至會(huì)比成年人游得更好的體育項(xiàng)目之一。
And unless people learn to swim often when they're quite young, that it’s quite hard to learn to swim when you're a lot older. So I always say to children, “Learn to swim when you're young, it's much easier.”
除非人們?cè)诤苄〉臅r(shí)候就經(jīng)常學(xué)習(xí)游泳，否則當(dāng)你長(zhǎng)大后，就很難學(xué)會(huì)游泳了。所以我總是對(duì)孩子們說(shuō)：“在你還小的時(shí)候?qū)W游泳，因?yàn)槟且菀椎枚嗯丁！?/span>
It's a bit like riding a bicycle. When we're old and we have to learn to ride a bicycle, it's really difficult. When we're younger, it's a little bit easier. And swimming is one of those skills that the earlier we can do it, it's often the better. So they're having a lesson onto learn to swim on their backs.
這和學(xué)自行車有點(diǎn)像。當(dāng)我們年歲漸長(zhǎng)，并且必須學(xué)習(xí)騎自行車時(shí)，會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這真的很難。而在年輕時(shí)學(xué)騎自行車，就會(huì)相對(duì)容易一些。游泳也是如此的技能之一，越早學(xué)習(xí)就越容易掌握這項(xiàng)技能。因此，他們正在上一堂課，學(xué)習(xí)仰泳。
「Kipper's swimming teacher was called Jan. She showed the children how to get into the pool safely. 」
「基珀的游泳老師名字叫做簡(jiǎn)，她示范給孩子們看該如何安全地進(jìn)入游泳池。」
「Then she asked the children to stand in a circle. They held hands and jumped up and down.」
「然后她讓孩子們站成一個(gè)圈。他們手拉著手，上下跳著?！?/span>
「“This is fun,” said Anna.」
「“這真有趣。”安娜說(shuō)道。」
So here they are...Kipper’s getting into the water very carefully, and it says “to get into the pool safely”. So often I bet you some of you do this: we just jump into the water.
所以在這里……基珀非常小心地進(jìn)入水中，而且這里寫(xiě)著“小心翼翼地進(jìn)入游泳池”。我打賭你們中的一些人經(jīng)常這樣做：直接從岸上跳入水中。
But actually, that can be quite dangerous because sometimes we don't know whether we are in the shallow end where we can stand up, or sometimes in the deep end. And even when we can swim well, sometimes jumping into the deep end, we suddenly go, “Oh, I didn't realize!” So there is a safe way to get into the pool.
但實(shí)際上這可能相當(dāng)危險(xiǎn)，因?yàn)橛袝r(shí)我們不知道自己是在可以站起來(lái)的淺水區(qū)岸邊，還是站在深水區(qū)的岸邊。而且，即使我們能游得很好，有時(shí)跳進(jìn)深水區(qū)時(shí)，我們會(huì)不禁驚道：“哦，我沒(méi)注意！”因此，它在這里示范了安全進(jìn)入游泳池的動(dòng)作。
And why do you think the children are getting in a circle and jumping up and down? I think the reason is probably to get used to the water. But if you look at Kipper's face, he does look maybe a little bit nervous, a little bit scared.
那么你認(rèn)為孩子們?yōu)槭裁匆獓梢蝗Γ?/span>上下跳躍呢？我認(rèn)為可能是為了適應(yīng)水中的環(huán)境。但如果你看看基珀的臉，他確實(shí)看起來(lái)有點(diǎn)緊張，有點(diǎn)害怕。
「“Let's see who can get their chins wet,”」
「“讓我們看看誰(shuí)能把下巴弄濕，”」
Here's your chin, it's here.
這是你的下巴，它在這里。
「...said Jan. “Who can blow bubbles?” she asked.」
「……簡(jiǎn)說(shuō)道。“誰(shuí)能在水中吹泡泡？”她又問(wèn)道。」
「Anna put her face in the water and blew bubbles. 」
「安娜把臉伸進(jìn)水里，吹起了泡泡。」
「Kipper didn't want to. He didn't like getting his face wet.」
「基珀不想這樣做。他不喜歡把自己的臉弄濕。」
Now, that may seem like a quite a strange thing. But actually, lots of children don't like getting their faces wet. And they have to learn to get used to it.
現(xiàn)在，這可能看起來(lái)是一件相當(dāng)奇怪的事情。但實(shí)際上，很多孩子都不喜歡把自己的臉弄濕。他們必須學(xué)會(huì)適應(yīng)它。
I don't really know why people sometimes don't like getting their faces wet. I actually have always, when I was little, I enjoyed swimming underwater. But often children don't like getting their face wet. Doesn't feel very nice.
我真的不知道為什么人們有時(shí)不喜歡弄濕自己的臉，實(shí)際上，在我小的時(shí)候，我一直很喜歡在水里游泳。但是孩子們往往不喜歡把臉弄濕。他們不喜歡那種感覺(jué)。
And I think the mainreason is probably sometimes the water can go into your mouth. I wonder whether you've ever had that. Or worse up your nose, and that's not very nice at all. Hmm...But Anna's being brave. But poor Kipper, he's feeling a bit scared, I think.
我認(rèn)為主要原因可能是，有時(shí)候水會(huì)進(jìn)入你的嘴里。我不知道你是否曾經(jīng)有過(guò)這樣的經(jīng)歷?；蛘吒愀獾氖?/span>，水會(huì)進(jìn)入你的鼻子，這就不太妙了。嗯……但安娜很勇敢。但可憐的基珀，我認(rèn)為他感到有點(diǎn)害怕。
