第16章 Life and Diet生活与饮食(1)

A Collection of Australia Life

Good morning everyone,I,m going to tell you about a typicaltypical adj.典型的,象征性的 of Australia breakfast this morning. Every morning,Ron and I cook breakfast together. I usually squeeze the orangesqueeze the orange 把好处都榨干,吸吮其脂膏 juice and Ron cooks the bacon and egg and we have the fresh bread as well.

First,we have some cereal which we have little milk. We have my some freshly squeezed orangesqueezed orange 无用的糟粕,用处不大的人 juice this morning. It,s very delicious,very nice.

Then have some baconbacon n.咸肉,熏肉,bacon and egg,which Ron has cooked for us this morning.

And after that,we,re going to have some beautiful fresh bread,which we have made during the night. We will eat that,with some jam,some peanutpeanut n.花生 butter,some honey,some marmalademarmalade n.橘子或柠檬等水果制成的果酱 lots of choices.

Then we will have a cup of tea or coffee to finish off.

I,m going to tell about recycling and how we deal with our rubbish here in Australia.

For many of the products we use,we are able to recycle. This is the recycling symbol and this symbol is on many of the products we use. We recycle plastic. We recycle cardboardcardboard n.纸板. We recycle tin and in our home we have two bins... one side for recycling,like plastic and here,we put all the recycling things in this side and we put rubbish in this side. This is not for recycling.

The general wastes are the recycling goes into the two bins that are on the footpath beside the road. The yellow bin,the bin with the yellow lid is the recycling bin and the bin on the other side with the black lid is for general rubbish. The bins are emptied the general rubbish is emptied every week,every Thursday.

So that,s what happens with the rubbish here in Australia. I think it,s a very good idea to have recycling,because it,s very good for the environment.

20 years ago in Australia,we had to use a bottle top opener like this to open a bottle of beer,but now we just twisttwist vt.拧,扭曲,绞,搓,捻,使苦恼,使转动,编织,twist the lid and it will come off very easily,twist,and it comes off. There you go. You can have a drink. Put it in here. Keep,s it cold. That,s OK.Beautiful. Cheers!

Hello,again. Today I,m going to tell you about our service station here in Australia. In Australia it,s called a service station or a petrol station.

We buy most of the cars in Australia use unleaded petrol. Some of the older cars still use super petrol which use lend,but the Australian government is trying to encourage people to buy cars which use unleaded petrol,because that,s much better for the environment,so unleaded petrol is cheaper than leaded petrol and unleaded petrol is more readily availableavailable adj.可用到的,可利用的,有用的,有空的,接受探访的.

All the service stations sell unleaded petrol,but in time,in two or three years time,there will be no super petrol sold any more,so the cars need to be converted to unleaded petrol which is better for environment.

OK,this is a special crossing for the school children go to across the road. The children wait at the yellow line,until Deidre,s ready and Deidre goes out into the middle road. She says,“stop”,blows the whistle and now we can cross the road. We can cross the road.

澳洲生活集锦

大家早晨好!我将给你们介绍具有澳大利亚的特色早餐。每天早晨若昂和我共同做早餐。我通常挤压橙子汁,若昂煎咸肉和鸡蛋。我们还有一些特别棒的新鲜面包。

首先,我们吃一些加了牛奶的麦片。我们再喝一些刚挤压的橙子汁。非常美味,非常好。

然后吃一些咸肉和鸡蛋。这是若昂今天早晨为我们做的。

吃完这些后,我们将吃一些新鲜、美味的面包。这可是经过一整夜烤制出来的。我们吃面包,会抹些果酱、花生酱、蜂蜜、橘子酱等。

最后,我们会喝一杯茶或咖啡来结束早餐。

今天我将说说废品回收,和在澳大利亚如何处理垃圾的。

我们有很多用过的东西是可回收的。这是可回收的标记。这个标记在我们用过的许多东西上都有。我们回收塑料,回收硬纸板,回收易拉罐。在我家里有两个垃圾桶,一个垃圾桶为了回收,像塑料。我们把所有的可回收的东西放在这边。我们把垃圾扔到这一边,这一边是不可回收的。

一般的垃圾和可回收的垃圾都放在路边的两个垃圾桶里。这个黄色的垃圾桶就是有黄色顶盖的那个,是装可回收物品的垃圾桶。旁边另一个,有黑色顶盖儿的装一般的垃圾。每星期四桶里的垃圾将被收走。澳大利亚的这种处理垃圾的方法我认为是一个好主意,因为它有利于环保。

在20年前的澳大利亚,我们只用像这样的瓶盖儿启子来开啤酒瓶。但现在,我们只要一拧,瓶子盖儿很容易就被拧下来。一拧了之。

再次问候大家。今天我将给你们说说这儿的加油站。在澳大利亚加油站被称为Service Station或 Petrol Station。

在澳大利亚我们买的绝大部分汽车使用无铅汽油。一些老式的汽车使用有铅汽油。但是澳大利亚政府极力地鼓励人们买使用无铅汽油的汽车,因为那有利于环境。所以无铅汽油比有铅汽油要便宜,无铅汽油也更为普及。

所有的加油站都卖无铅汽油。在一定时期内,顶多两至三年,这儿将不再卖有铅汽油。所以汽车需要转换使用无铅汽油,这有利于环境。

好,这是一个特殊路口,以便学校的孩子们穿过马路。孩子们站在黄线上等着,直到Deidre准备好并走到路中央。她会说:停下,即吹口哨,这下我们可以过马路了。

British Annual Holiday

Once a year most English families take an extendedextended adj.伸出的,延长的,广大的,扩大范围的,长期的 holiday. Until air travel became more common these family holidays were almost always spent in one of the coastalcoastal adj.海岸的,沿海的 seaside resorts.

英国的年假

大多数的英国家庭一年要休一次长假。在航空旅行比较普及之前,这些家庭几乎总是在某个海边旅游胜地度假。在海边镇上的商店里卖各种各样的东西,有桶、铲子、明信片、棉花糖、太妃糖苹果、彩色硬棒糖,还有炸鱼加炸土豆条。

他们在海滩搭起颜色鲜艳的挡风帆布帐篷,一连几天高兴地吃着在融化冰激凌、用漏水的热水瓶、体验到处都是沙子的生活。

如今的英国人度假从盖特威克、斯坦斯特德、卢顿,曼彻斯特、伯明翰或希思罗机场开始,飞越英国那些弯弯曲曲的小路,飞向西班牙、希腊、塞浦路斯、佛罗里达或者任何阳光充足的地方,只要那儿能有游乐中心可玩,有明信片可寄回家,有油炸食物香味的慰藉。

许多人在那儿的生活,就仿佛自己还是在英国的博格诺、布莱克浦或布赖顿等城市那样。他们自己聚在一起,无视当地人的存在,一天中大多数时间都躺着晒太阳。晚上他们到迪斯科舞厅去喝酒、跳舞,把吃的喝的吐出来。这些迪斯科舞厅是当地人为让他们这样玩而精心为他们提供的。

British leisure life

British people are always famous for their conservativeconservative adj.保守的,守旧的 n.保守派 nature. Nevertheless,they also have some interesting ways to enjoy themselves.
