Lesson 31 - What is a Bonfire? Y: 各位听众好。欢迎收听美语咖啡屋。我是杨晨。 J: Hello everyone! Im Jody! Welcome to American Cafe! Except today, were not in the Cafe. Y: 没错。我们现在是树林里。不过这都是Jody的主意，如果我有选择，我宁可舒舒服服地呆在咖啡馆里。 J: Aw come on, Yang Chen, this is going to be fun. Out in the woods enjoying a campfire. This is what I call living large! Living the good life! Dont ya (you) think? Y: 你说得到轻松。Living large活得自由自在。先别自在了，你看我们点的火都快灭了，快拿手电筒来。 J: You said you were bringing the flashlights. Y: Jody!! 你不是说你要拿手电筒吗？ 哎呀，现在怎么办呢。 J: Hey, theres no reason to panic. (Enter animal sound) Y: (getting anxious) Jody! 这是什么声音，后面是不是有狼啊？ J: Thats not a wolf. It was probably just a raccoon. Were fine, Yang Chen. Y: 听这声音好象是一个个头很大的动物. 我们在树林里，火又快灭了。都怪你非要到这里来作节目。你赶快想办法让火烧得旺一点好不好！ J: Okay, okay. Calm down. How big do you want the fire, Yang Chen? Do you want it as big as a bonfire? Y: Bonfire? 是什么？ J: A bonfire? Well, it just so happens that on todays show we have two experts, you could say, on bonfires. Arent we lucky? Heh heh. Y: Lucky? 今天我们这么倒霉你还敢说是lucky? J: Oh, whatever. Lets go to our guests. First lets hear from our good friend CT, a man who claims to have built over 100 bonfires in his life. 实录1: CT: A bonfire is a large campfire. It is just a bunch of wood you collect from natural surroundings and put into a pile and then you light it on fire. And ideally you have more wood and you keep throwing it on and on, making the flames bigger and bigger and then it burns out. Y: Bonfire 就是篝火，只不过比普通的篝火要大，Jody, 他刚才说点这种篝火要准备很多木头，不断地往火里扔。 J: Yeah, I heard that. He did say that ideally you have more wood and you keep throwing it on the fire. Heh, what a great idea. Okay, Ill go get some more wood while CT tells how big a bonfire should be. 实录2: CT: Well it depends on your neighbors. If your neighbors like bonfires I would say you could have a nice size fire in a plot of land that is 20 meters by 20 meters. But maybe you want to have something thats 50 meters by 50 meters. Then you can have a big bonfire. Y: 我们倒是不用担心邻居们会有意见。
