Sports English Cross Country Skiing

P:Here we are out in the great Alaskan wilds, ready to go cross-country skiing!

Y:This is so great, Patrick! 阿拉斯加的风景好美，最适合练习越野滑雪! I'm really glad you could join us, too, Lara .

L:Thanks for asking me to come along, Patrick and Yang Chen. Going cross country skiing in Alaska is really an amazing opportunity.

P:Well, 我们今天一天都在野外滑雪，we should really go over our safety precautions。

Y:That's right, 要做好安全措施。

P:It is really important to be safe when you are planning to ski in the wilderness for several hours. First, did you guys let someone know that you were going skiing and where you would be?

Y:Yep, sure did. I told my mom.

L:Uh-huh. I told my all my friends.

P:Okay, good. That is important in case we get lost. Did you also check your equipment to make sure it was in good shape and working properly?

Y:Get lost? 我们会迷路？那会不会碰上野兽啊？

P:Don't worry. Yang Chen. Bye the way, did you check your poles and skis.

Y:Yes I did. 我的滑雪杖和滑雪板。They are in good shape.

L:And I checked my boots and bindings, too.

P:Great work, team! Does someone in the group have a map?

Y:Oh, that's me. I have the map!

P:Maybe I should hold on to the map while we're skiing, Yang Chen.

Y:Patrick! 为什么我不能拿地图？You don't trust me?

P:Well, I do. 但是你经常丢东西，忘了你上次我们看棒球你没有带门票。We should also all have the following in our backpacks: Extra food and drink.

Y/L:Check!

Y:Extra clothing in case we get wet.

P/L:Check!

Y:A first aid kit.

P/L:Check!

P:And we should be skating in a group of at least three people. That way if one of us gets hurt, one person can stay with the injured person and the other can go get help.

Y:That's why we invited Lara.

L:Gee thanks, guys.

P:Well, I guess we are ready to go then! Let's go cross country skiing.

A:去野外滑雪还要先通知亲朋好友，以防自己遇难别人都找不到你！这让我想起一部电影，讲的是一个人去大峡谷探险，谁都没告诉，结果胳膊被卡在峭壁之间，最后只能生把自己的手切下来逃生。

B:Yeah! I remember that movie! It was a bit hard to watch, I don't do well when I see blood.

A:我也是！所以说啊，独行侠不是那么好当的。最好还是能结伴出去，好有个照应。好了, 这次节目时间到了。这次的撰稿人是小北，编辑是蔚然。同学们，我们下次再见！

B:See you!
