2021.6六级第一套  Conversation Two

Today, I'm talking to the renowned botanist, Jane Forster.

Thank you for inviting me to join you on the show, Henry.

今天，我将对话著名植物学家简-福斯特。

谢谢你邀请我参加你的节目，亨利。

Recently, Jane, you've become quite a celebrity since the release of your latest documentary. Can you tell us a little about it?

简，自从最近你的最新纪录片发布后，你已经成为一个相当有名的人了，你能和我们分享一下这部纪录片吗？

Well, it follows my expedition to study the vegetation indigenous to the rain forest in equatorial areas of south east Asia.

You certainly get to travel to some very exotic locations.

它记录了我对东南亚赤道地区热带雨林的原生植被的研究。

你肯定去了一些非常有异国情调的地方。

It was far from glamorous, to be honest. The area we visited was accessible only by canoe. And the living conditions in the hut were primitive, to say the least. There was no electricity, and our water supply was near by a stream.

说实话，这远不是什么迷人的地方。我们访问的地区只能通过独木舟进入，而小屋的生活条件也可以说是很原始。没有电，我们的水源是附近的一条小溪。

How were the weather conditions while you were there?

The weather was not conducive to our work at all, since the humidity was almost unbearable.

你们在那里的时候，天气状况如何？

天气完全不利于我们工作，因为湿度太高，简直令人难以忍受。

At midday, we stayed in the hut and did nothing. It was too humid to either work or sleep.

How long did your team spend in the jungle?

中午时分，我们就呆在小屋里，什么也不做，天气太潮湿了，既不能工作，也不能睡觉。

你们的团队在丛林里呆了多长时间？

Originally, we planned to be there for a month. But in the end, we stayed for only two weeks.

Why did you cut the expedition short？

Halfway through the trip, we received news that a hurricane was approaching. And we had to evacuate at very short notice.

最初，我们计划在那里呆一个月，但最后，我们只呆了两个星期。

你们为什么缩短考察时间？

行程过半，我们收到了飓风即将来临的消息，我们不得不在短时间内撤走了。

That sounds like a fascinating anecdote.

It was frightening. The fastest evacuation route was through river rapids. We had to navigate them carrying all of our equipment.

这听起来是一件引人入胜的轶事。

很吓人的，最快的疏散路线是河流的急流。我们必须带着我们所有的设备在河中穿行。

So overall, was the journey unsuccessful?

Absolutely not. We gathered a massive amount of data about the local plant life.

那么总的来说，这次旅行是不成功的吗？

绝对不是，我们收集了大量关于当地植物的数据。

Why do you put up with such adverse conditions?

Botany is an obsession for me. Many of the destinations I visit have stunning scenery, and I get to meet a variety of people from all over the world.

你为什么要忍受如此恶劣的条件？

我对植物相当着迷，我访问的许多地方的风景都很迷人，而且我还能遇到来自世界各地的形形色色的人。

So where will your next destination be?

I haven't decided yet.

Then we can leave it for another vacation. Thanks.

那么你的下一个目的地会是哪里？

我还没决定。

那我们可以把这个问题留到另一个假期，谢谢。
