London Outdoor Ice Rink 倫敦戶外滑冰場(chǎng)
The script of this programme 本節(jié)目臺(tái)詞
I like ice skating because you can have a laugh and you can just be crazy.
I like ice skating because it’s something that I don’t do a lot and it’s really, really, really fun.
I like ice skating too because it’s hard and it takes time to get used to it, but once you are used to it, it’s good fun.
It’s a good thing to always do when it’s like Christmas time.
I think that when you go ice skating, you should stick to what you know and maybe if you feel more confident try something new.
It’s a really good sport and I hope that everyone enjoys it when they have a turn.
I enjoy ice skating because you get to learn something new and you don’t have to worry about if you can do it or not, you just enjoy yourself.

收聽(tīng)與下載
Feifei: 大家好，歡迎收聽(tīng)由BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)帶來(lái)的《都市掠影》節(jié)目，我是馮菲菲。今天我們來(lái)到了位于倫敦市中心最漂亮的 Somerset House 戶外滑冰場(chǎng)。今天同時(shí)很有幸能看到前英格蘭國(guó)家隊(duì)運(yùn)動(dòng)員，奧運(yùn)會(huì)花樣滑冰金牌獲得者 Jayne Torvill 的表演。
John: Hi there, this is BBC Learning English, we’re out On the Town again and today we’re talking about ice rinks. I’m John.
Feifei: I understand the word ice, but what about rink?
John: Well, a rink is normally a large surface of ice or other hard material used for skating.
Feifei: Ah 我知道了，rink 通常是指用冰或是其它堅(jiān)硬的材料做成的大面積的，用來(lái)滑冰的場(chǎng)地。
John: So you can say ice rink or skating rink.
Feifei: 我們經(jīng)?？吹降氖鞘覂?nèi)滑冰場(chǎng)，那么倫敦的戶外滑冰場(chǎng)是什么時(shí)候開(kāi)始流行起來(lái)的呢？
John: Here’s Gwyn Miles, the Director of the Somerset House Trust.
We’ve had the ice rink since we opened to the public in 2000, so this is its eighth year and it has been very, very successful.
Gwyn Miles, Director of the Somerset House Trust
John: The Somerset House ice rink opened to the public in the year 2000, so this year is its eighth year.
Feifei: Open to the public 向公眾開(kāi)放。 Somerset House 戶外滑冰場(chǎng)是倫敦第一個(gè)戶外滑冰場(chǎng)，自 2000 年首次向公眾開(kāi)放，今年已經(jīng)是第八年了。 Here’s Gwyn again.
Well, we have this beautiful, beautiful courtyard, and in the winter we want to make sure we can bring people in to enjoy Somerset House. It’s a real treat for Londoners and this is a way to bring the whole place alive and make it feel really quite magical for Christmas.
Gwyn Miles, Director of the Somerset House Trust
John: So this ice rink sits in the middle of the courtyard in Somerset House.
Feifei: Courtyard 庭院。薩默塞特中心 Somerset House 是倫敦市中心的一所 18 世紀(jì)的古建筑，它有一個(gè)非常寬敞的中心庭院，這個(gè)光彩四射，充滿活力的戶外滑冰場(chǎng)就搭設(shè)在這里。
John: Gwyn says it’s a real treat for Londoners.
Feifei: 對(duì)于在這里生活的 Londoner 倫敦人來(lái)說(shuō)，這是每年圣誕節(jié)再好不過(guò)的一個(gè)禮物了。
John: What does our champion, Jayne Torvill, think of this ice rink?
I love Somerset House, since it first opened, I’ve managed to be here every year, and obviously got involved with the skating side of it. I think it’s amazing, because it’s encouraged so many people to come and have a go at skating. That’s just great, it’s a great sport, it’s good exercise, but out of it, it might encourage people to take it up more seriously, and who knows, we may have future champions here.
Jayne Torvill, champion ice skater
Feifei: Jayne thinks it’s amazing 非常棒！ It has encouraged so many people to come and have a go at skating. Have a go 嘗試做某事。
Somerset House Ice Rink
John: She also says it’s a great sport and good exercise. It might encourage people to take it up more seriously and we might have future champions here.
Feifei: Take something up 從事某事或一個(gè)職業(yè)； champion 冠軍。 But what if I’ve never tried skating before?
John: Don’t worry Feifei, you can have skating classes now at the ice rink.
The skate school was something we started last year. We are very keen to actually help people to become capable of enjoying skating, so we do lessons at the weekends, but also for the schools, we also do disabled skating sessions, where we have people who can come on the ice and actually really enjoy it, and they are fantastic.
Gwyn Miles, Director of the Somerset House Trust
Feifei: Ah I see. So I can go at weekends and have skating lessons.
John: Absolutely! These lessons are to help people to become capable of enjoying skating.
Feifei: Be capable of 有做某事的能力。
John: Jayne has some advice for people like you who go on the ice for the first time.
People who go on the ice for the first time, it’s very important to wear the right clothing; always wear some gloves and always wear a hat, even if you are in a fairly warm ice rink, because if you take a fall, the gloves will protect your hands and the hat will protect your head as well.
Jayne Torvill, champion ice skater
John: So do remember to wear your gloves and a hat, Feifei!
Feifei: Gloves 手套， hat 帽子。我們的世界冠軍給像我這樣的初劃滑者的建議是一定要帶手套和帽子，這樣就算摔倒了，我們的手和頭也可以受到保護(hù)。 I’ve got my gloves and hat with me, so I’m going to have a go now John.
John: Have fun Feifei! Join us again next time on BBC Learning English or you can get on to our website at www.bbcchina.com.cn. See you!
