PETS-2每日對話練習90
The next day; on the way to Timpanogos Caves
Jun: Look at those guys rock climbing! They're so fast! Look, lots of people are watching!
Bob: Good eye! Let's pull over and watch, too. [they pull over]
Jun: I took a climbing class once and learned how to belay and tie knots, but I've never seen anything like this.
Bob: Well, you should have told us earlier. We've got lots of gear at home. Carabiners, rock shoes, harnesses, everything you need.

隔天,去堤潘諾格斯洞穴的路上
小君:看看那些在攀巖的家伙!他們好快喔!看,好多人都在看耶!
鮑伯:好眼力!我們把車停在路邊也去看看吧。(他們停到路邊)
小君:我上過一次攀巖課,學會怎么做制繩確保和綁繩結(jié),但是我沒看過像這樣的。
鮑伯:啊,你該早點跟我們說。我們家里的配備很多呢。登山用的鐵鎖、攀巖鞋、攀巖帶,應有盡有。
重點解說:
★ rock climbing 攀巖。belay (v.) 攀巖中做‘制繩確?!膭幼?,以防同伴下墜。tie knots 是‘綁繩結(jié)’
★ Good eye! 好眼力!
★ pull over (把車)開到路邊停下來
★ gear (n.) 工具,設備。carabiner (n.) 登山用鐵鎖。harnesses (n.) 攀巖帶
