美語情景對話 第1248期:Do you remember any school trips? 學校旅行

Katya: Hello, I'm Katya from Bulgaria.

卡蒂亞：大家好，我是卡蒂亞，來自保加利亞。

Ayumi: I'm Ayumi from Brazil.

亞由美：我是亞由美，來自巴西。

Katya: And today's question is do you remember any school trips? Do you remember any?

卡蒂亞：今天要討論的問題是，你還記得學校旅行嗎？你還記得嗎？

Ayumi: I don't know but somehow I always go to the schools that have a lot of school trips, a lot. But one of the most remarkable ones was when I was in Brazil, I went to St Nicholas School and we had this weird trip called Lifeskill Trip so we have to learn how to survive in a desert island. It was really funny because we were taken to this strange island where nobody lived, a desert island. There were no toilets, there were no showers. It was summertime and we have to spend three nights there.

亞由美：我說不好，不過我上的學校經常組織學校旅行。其中最特殊的一次旅行是我在巴西聖尼古拉斯小學時，學校組織的那場不尋常的“生存技能旅行”，我們要學習在無人荒島生存的方法。那非常有意思，因爲我們被帶到了一個奇怪的島嶼，那裏沒有人居住，是一座荒島。島上沒有衛生間，沒有淋浴器。當時是夏天，我們要在那座島上住三個晚上。

Katya: Oh my God.

卡蒂亞：哦我的天哪。

Ayumi: The first day I remember that I slept on the boat. Everybody slept on the boat but one single small boat, it's not like a cruiser or something, it was an open air boat and I was sleeping next to the Principal that was really kind of weird experience.

亞由美：我記得第一天我們睡在船上。所有人都睡在船上，那是一艘小船，不是遊輪，而是一艘沒有遮擋的船，我睡在了校長旁邊，那真是一次不可思議的經歷。

Katya: I used to go every year to school trips. Wherever there was a school trip from my high school or elementary school, I was always the first one to sign up because I really like traveling. I'm never going to forget I went to Europe twice where I can see Italy and Switzerland and France. I went to France twice. I was sixteen years old so for me I was very happy because it was very cheap. It was made for students and I had a similar life survival skills experience when I went to Ukraine and there is a school camp. It's called Artec. It's international and we had to wake up at seven in the morning and have exercise and then we had to make our pillows be triangular. It was a bit Soviet Union leftover camping so they really learn you survival skills.

卡蒂亞：我以前每年都去學校旅行。無論是高中的學校旅行還是小學的學校旅行，我都是第一個報名的，因爲我非常喜歡旅行。我永遠不會忘記那兩次歐洲旅行，我遊覽了意大利、瑞士和法國。我去了法國兩次。當時我16歲，我非常高興，因爲旅行費用很便宜。我們付的是學生價，我也有過類似的生存技能經歷，我去烏克蘭參加了名爲Artec的學校野營活動。那是國際活動，我們早上7點就得起牀，然後鍛鍊，之後要把枕頭折成三角形。那有點兒像蘇聯遺留下來的野營活動，所以要學習生存技能。

Ayumi: Wow.

亞由美：哇哦。
