贝蒂：好吧，进来坐下！
Betty: Ok, come in and sit down!
大明：什么事？ Daming: What’s happening?
玲玲：我们在开会。 Lingling: We’re having a meeting.
大明：我一点都不知道，我在做作业。这个会是关于什么的？
Daming: That’s news to me! I’m doing my homework. What’s it about?
玲玲；校园杂志。 Lingling: The school magazine.
大明：什么校园杂志？Daming: The school magazine?.
贝蒂：好吧，大家请注意。昨晚有人看电视了吗？你们看到对贝基·王的采访了吗？
Betty: Right, listen up, everyone. Did anyone watch television yesterday evening? Did you see the interview
with Becky Wang?
玲玲：她和Crazy Feet 乐队一起演唱。她是我最喜欢的歌手。
Lingling: She sings with the band Crazy Feet. She’s my favourite singer.
托尼：是的，我看了，她去过我们学校！
Tony: Yes, I saw it. She went to our school!
贝蒂：噢，当她还在这儿上学的时候，创办了一份叫做《新标准》的校园杂志。那么我们为什么不也创
办一份校园杂志呢？我已经写下了一些想法。我们要记录下学校每天发生的事，还要告诉大家校园音乐
会以及舞蹈俱乐部的事情。
Betty: Well, she started a school magazine called New standard when she was a pupil here. So why don’t we
start a school magazine, too? I’ve written down some ideas. We’ll write a diary of school events, and tell
everyone about the school concert and the dance club.
托尼：还有校园篮球比赛。
Tony: And school basketball matches.
玲玲：但是谁写文章呢？
Lingling: But who will write the articles?
贝蒂：我们来写文章，还有什么想法吗？
Betty: We’ll write the articles. Any more ideas?
托尼：我知道了，我要就我们喜爱的乐队和电影写一些评论！
Tony: I know. I’ll do some reviews about our favourite bands and movies.
玲玲：我要采访贝基·王！
Lingling: And I’ll do an interview with Becky Wang.
贝蒂：太好了，还有别人吗？
Betty: Brilliant! Anyone else?
大明：“家庭作业小助手”怎么样？
Daming: How about “Homework Help”?
托尼：是的，一些关于如何取得好成绩的想法！
Tony: Yes, some ideas on how to get good grades.
玲玲：大明，你的作业是什么？
Lingling: What’s your homework, Daming?
大明：我在写出一篇叫做《什么是世界奇观？》的作文。我在读有关埃及古老的金字塔的事情。
Lingling: I’m writing a composition called “What is a wonder of the world?” “I’m reading about the ancient
pyramids in Egypt.
贝蒂：“家庭作业小助手”。大明，我想那是一个极好的主意。
Betty: “Homework Help.”I think that’s a fantastic idea, Daming.
M1U2 I was on the edge of the Grand Canyon.
The greatest wonder of the natural world.
自然界最伟大的奇观
我到达的时候是一大早，天正在下雨。
When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining.
我走出汽车，穿过一个门口，沿着一条小路前行。
I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path.
在东方，天空正在变亮，但路边仍然很黑。
In the east, the sky was becoming light, but beside the path, it was still very dark.
我知道，它就在那里，但什么也看不见。
I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see.
大约过了1000米，一个陌生人出现在我面前。
After about a kilometre, a stranger appeared in front of me.
我问：“我走的路对吗”？
“Am I going the right way?”I asked.
他知道我要去哪里。
He knew where I was going.
他回答：“对，5分钟后你就会到那里。”
“Yes,”he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes.”
最后，我来到一些岩石旁边停下。
Finally, I came to some rocks, and stopped.
我仔细地从这些岩石上面看，但是天仍然太黑，我看不见任何东西。
I looked carefully over them, but it was still too dark to see anything.
突然，云散了，雨停了。
Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped.
太阳从我身后升起，它离那些岩石很远。
The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks.
我看见地面沉降到下面深谷中的一条河里，离我特别遥远。
I saw that the ground fell away and down to a river, far below me.
我站在自然界的奇观之一 ——大峡谷的边缘。
I was on the edge of the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world.
我俯视着距我大约2000米之遥的科罗拉多河。
I looked down to the Colorado River about 2 kilometres below me.
如果你把世界上最高的三座建筑物放在峡谷的底部，它们也不能达到顶部。
If you put the three tallest buildings in the world at the bottom of the canyon, they still won’t reach the top.
然后，我眺望峡谷的另一边.
Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon.
它多远？20000米或许更远。
How far is it? It’s 20 kilometres, maybe more.
最后，我向左右遥望，在两边，大峡谷消失在远方……400多千米长。
Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon disappeared into the
ver 400 kilometres long.
大峡谷不仅是大。它是巨大！
The Grand Canyon is not just big. It’s huge.
那天早上在大峡谷的边缘，我问了自己一个问题。
That morning on the edge of the canyon, I asked myself a question.
