第一段
1 .Hello. Children’s Engineering Workshops.
你好。儿童工程讲习班。
2 .Oh hello. I wanted some information about the workshops in the school holidays.
哦，你好。我想知道一些关于学校假期里的讲习班的信息。
3 .Sure.
当然。
4 .I have two daughters who are interested.The younger one’s Lydia, she’s four – do you take children as young as that?
我有两个女儿很感兴趣。小的那个是莉迪亚，她四岁了——你也带这么小的孩子吗？
5 .Yes, our Tiny Engineers workshop is for four to five-year-olds.
是的，我们的小型工程师讲习班是为四至五岁的孩子开设的。
6 .What sorts of activities do they do?
他们做什么活动？
7 .All sorts. For example, they work together to design a special cover that goes round an egg, so that when it’s inside they can drop it from a height and it doesn’t break.
各种各样。例如，他们共同设计了一个环绕鸡蛋的特殊盖子，这样当鸡蛋在里面的时候，他们可以从高处扔下来，鸡蛋不会碎。
8 .Well, sometimes it does break but that’s part of the fun!
嗯，有时它确实会坏，但这也是乐趣的一部分！
9 .Right. And Lydia loves building things.Is there any opportunity for her to do that?
对。莉迪亚喜欢搭建东西。她有机会这么做吗？
10 .Well, they have a competition to see who can make the highest tower.You’d be amazed how high they can go.
嗯，他们有一个比赛，看谁能做出最高的塔。你会惊讶于它们能建多高。
11 .Right.
对。
12 .But they’re learning all the time as well as having fun.
但是他们在享受乐趣的同时也一直在在学习。
13 .For example, one thing they do is to design and build a car that’s attached to a balloon, and the force of the air in that actually powers the car and makes it move along. They go really fast too.
例如，他们做的一件事是设计和制造一辆附着在气球上的汽车，里面的空气力量实际上为汽车提供了动力，使它向前移动。它们跑的还很快。
14 .OK, well, all this sounds perfect.
好的，嗯，这一切听起来都很完美。
15 .Now Carly, that’s my older daughter, has just had her seventh birthday, so presumably she’d be in a different group?
卡莉，那是我的大女儿，刚刚过了七岁生日，所以她可能会在另一个小组？
16 .Yes, she’d be in the Junior Engineers.That’s for children from six to eight.
是的，她会在初级工程师那组里。那是给六岁到八岁的孩子的。
17 .And do they do the same sorts of activities?
他们做同样的活动吗？
18 .Some are the same, but a bit more advanced.
有些是一样的，但更高级一点。
19 .So they work out how to build model vehicles, things like cars and trucks, but also how to construct animals using the same sorts of material and technique, and then they learn how they can program them and make them move.
所以他们研究如何制造模型车辆，比如汽车和卡车，也研究如何使用相同种类的材料和技术来建造动物，然后他们学习如何为它们编程并让它们移动。
20 .So they learn a bit of coding?
所以他们学了一点编码？
21 .They do. They pick it up really quickly.We’re there to help if they need it, but they learn from one another too.
是的。他们很快就学会了。如果他们需要，我们会在那里提供帮助，但他们也互相学习。
22 .Right. And do they have competitions too?
对。他们也有比赛吗？
23 .Yes, with the Junior Engineers, it’s to use recycled materials like card and wood to build a bridge, and the longest one gets a prize.
是的，和初级工程师一起，是用卡片和木头之类的回收材料来造桥，最长的可以获奖。
24 .That sounds fun. I wouldn’t mind doing that myself!
听起来很有趣。我自己很乐意做那个（造桥的活动）！
25 .Then they have something a bit different, which is to think up an idea for a five-minute movie and then film it, using special animation software.You’d be amazed what they come up with.
那他们有一点不同，那就是为一部五分钟的电影想出一个点子，然后用特殊的动画软件拍摄。你会惊讶他们想出了什么。
26 .And of course, that’s something they can put on their phone and take home to show all their friends.
当然，这是他们可以放在手机上带回家给所有朋友看的东西。
27 .Exactly. And then they also build a robot in the shape of a human, and they decorate it and program it so that it can move its arms and legs.
没错。然后他们还建造了一个人形的机器人，他们对它进行装饰和编程，让它可以移动胳膊和腿。
28 .Perfect. So, is it the same price as the Tiny Engineers?
太好了。那么，它和小工程师组的价格一样吗？
29 .It’s just a bit more: ￡50 for the five weeks.
那要贵一点，五周（需要） 50 英镑。
30 .And are the classes on a Monday too?
也是星期一上课吗 ？
31 .They used to be, but we found it didn’t give our staff enough time to clear up after the first workshop, so we moved them to Wednesdays.The classes are held in the morning from ten to eleven.
以前是这样的，但是我们发现，第一个讲习班结束后，没有足够的时间做打扫，所以，我们把时间改成了星期三。上课时间是上午十点到十一点。
32 .OK. That’s better for me actually. And what about the location? Where exactly are the workshops held?
好的。事实上这对我更好。那地点呢？讲习班具体在哪里举行？
33 .They’re in building 10A – there’s a big sign on the door, you can’t miss it, and that’s in Fradstone Industrial Estate.
他们在10A号楼——门上有一个很大的标志，你不会错过的，那是在弗拉德斯通工业区。
34 .Sorry?
什么？
35 .Fradstone – that’s F-R-A-D-S-T-O-N-E.
弗拉德斯通——那是F-R-A-D-S-T-O-N-E。
36 .And that’s in Grasford, isn’t it?
那是在格拉斯福德，对吗？
37 .Yes, up past the station.
是的，过了车站。
38 .And will I have any parking problems there?
我在那里停车会有问题吗？
39 .No, there’s always plenty available.
不，总是有很多可用的。
40 .So would you like to enrol Lydia and Carly now?
那你现在想给莉迪亚和卡莉报名吗？
41 .OK.
好的。
42 .So can I have your full name …
那我可以知道你的全名吗…
