Well, we have a website and the best way to enter is to complete the entry form online. We also have more details of the competition on the site. Shall I give you the web address? Yes, please.
我们有个网站，报名的最佳方式就是在线上填好报名表。我们在网站上也有关于比赛的更多细节信息。需要我给你网站地址吗？好的，谢谢。
And that's the number four not the word four. OK, thanks. I've got that. So I can complete the entry form online, but how do I send the story? Do I print it out and send it to you?
4是数字4，而不是单词4。好的，谢谢，我记下了。我可以在线上填好报名表，但我怎么投递我的故事呢？我需要打印出来寄给你吗？
Well, you may want to print the story out, so you can review it, but don't post it to us. When you've finished your story, you will need to email it to us. The email address is on the website I gave you. OK, that's fine.
你可能想把故事打印出来供你审阅，但不要寄给我们。你写完故事以后，需要把它通过电子邮件发给我们。电邮地址在我给你的网站上有。好的，没问题。

Um... can you tell me a bit about how the competition is judged and what the prizes are? Yes, of course.
你能透露一下这个比赛是如何评分的吗？还有奖品都是些什么？当然。
Well, once we have all the entries, I send them to all the judges. Our competition is quite popular, so we are lucky to be able to use famous authors who are very interested in the competition.
一旦我们收集到了所有的参赛作品，我会发给所有的评委。我们这个比赛知名度很高，所以我们很幸运，能够请到著名作家做评委，他们都对比赛很感兴趣。
That's fantastic. It's great to know that someone famous will be reading my story! Yes, that's right. It takes them quite a while to read through the entries but eventually they decide on the top five stories.
太好了。知道会有名人阅读我的作品，真是太棒了！没错。要看完所有的参赛作品，他们得花上好一段时间，但最终他们会决出最佳的五篇。
I see... And what happens then? Well, they will be published online, so everyone can read them. They will not be in any order at this point. They will just be the five stories that the judges think are the best.
我明白了。接下来会怎么样呢？他们会在网上发表这些作品，大家都可以阅读。此时五篇作品不分排名先后，它们就是评委一致认为最好的五篇小说。
And do all the top five stories get prizes? No, it's just the top story and the runner-up.
那这五篇作品都会获奖吗？不，只有冠军和亚军。
So how is the top story decided? Well, once the top five stories are available, it will be the public who will vote for their favorite story.
那怎么决定哪篇故事最好？一旦五篇作品都放在网上，就由公众投票决定他们最喜爱的作品是什么。
Right, I see. So I need to get all my friends to vote for me then! Er, yes, that's a good idea.
好的，我明白了。那我得让我所有的朋友都投我一票了！这是个好办法。
And what is the prize? Well, the runner-up gets a prize of ￡300, but the winner gets a trip to Spain to attend a workshop for writers.
奖品是什么？亚军将获得300英镑奖金，冠军将获得去西班牙旅游的机会，在那儿参加一个作家研讨会。
Wow, that's brilliant! I'd better get writing straight away. Yes, good luck! Thanks.
哇，太棒了！我最好马上开始写作了。对，祝你好运！谢谢。
