Hi, I'm Sophie. Do you want to know what we are doing these days?
嗨,我是索菲。你想知道我们这些天在做什么吗?
Well, we're college students. And we're volunteering at the primary school.
嗯,我们是大学生。我们在小学做志愿者。
We are working hard collecting supplies for an emergency drill.
我们正在努力收集应急演习的补给物资。
We've decided that I should be the boss because I'm the oldest.
大家一致同意让我成为管理者,因为我是年纪最大的。
That's fine with me because I kind of like telling everyone what to do.
那对我来说太棒了,因为我喜欢告诉别人做什么。
Anyway, you can see that this is a lot of work.
不管怎么样,你能想象,这是一个工作量很大的事情。
But that's okay. Three of us are doing the work.
但我觉得还不差。因为我们有三个人在负责这方面的工作。
So we'll probably be finished in a day or two.
所以我们可能会在一两天内就完成。
When we start it we had no idea about what supplies to get.
一开始的时候,我们不知道要准备什么样的补给物资。
But we looked it on the internet and found a website with a lot of information about what to do before, during and after, and an emergency.
但我们在互联网上发现了一个网站,上面有很多关于紧急情况的前期、中期和后期如何做的信息。
Yesterday, two of us went shopping for canned food, bottles of water, flashlights, batteries and blankets at a discount store.
昨天,我们两个人去折扣店买了罐头食品、瓶装水、手电筒、电池和毯子。
It was so crowded; it made me crazy, because I don't have a lot of free time.
店里人山人海;让我颇为抓狂,因为我没有很多空闲时间。
But we got almost everything we needed.
但我们几乎买到了我们所需要的一切。
And the teachers and parents are happy to have our help.
老师和家长们都很高兴能有我们的帮助。
