Part A :

Hello, Helen. Sorry I'm late.

你好，海伦，抱歉我迟到了．

Hi, Jeremy, no problem.

嗨，杰瑞米，没关系．

Well we'd better work out where we are on our project, I suppose.

我想，从我们的项目开始着手．

Yeah. I've looked at the drawings you've done for my story, 'The Forest',

好的，我看了你为我的故事所做的画，“森林”，

and I think they're brilliant - they really create the atmosphere I had in mind when I was writing it.

我认为他们是很棒的--他们真的创造了我写它时在我脑中的氛围．

I'm glad you like them.

我很高兴你喜欢他们．

There are just a few suggestions I'd like to make.

我有几个建议．

Go ahead.

说吧．

Now, I'm not sure about the drawing of the cave - it's got trees all around it, which is great,

现在，我对这个洞穴不是很确定--它周围有树围着，这很好，

but the drawing's a bit too static, isn't it?

但画的有点太静了，不是吗?

I think it needs some action.

我认为它需要一些行动．

Yes, there's nothing happening.

是的，没有什么事情发生．

Perhaps I should add the boy - Malcolm, isn't it?

也许我应该加上那个男孩马尔科姆，不是吗?

He would be walking up to it.

他会走向它．

Yes, let's have Malcolm in the drawing.

是的，让马尔科姆在画里．

And what about putting in a tiger - the one that he makes friends witha bit later?

要不要在加一个老虎--后来他和这只老虎交了朋友．

Maybe it could be sitting under a tree washing itself.

也许它可以坐在一棵树下洗涤自己．

And the tiger stops in the middle of what it's doing when it sees Malcolm walking past.

当它看到马尔科姆走过去的时候，老虎停在中间．

That's a good idea.

这是个好主意．

OK, I'll have a go at that.

好的，我会这么画．

Then there's the drawing of the crowd of men and women dancing.

那有一大群男人和女人在跳舞．

They're just outside the forest, and there's a lot going on.

他们刚好在森林外面，有许多正继续走来．

That's right, you wanted them to be watching a carnival procession, but I thought it would be too crowded.

好的，你想让他们看一场狂欢游行，但我觉得这太拥挤了．

Do you think it works like this?

你觉得是这样的吗?

Yes, I like what you've done.

是的，我喜欢你做的．

The only thing is, could you add Malcolm to it, without changing what's already there.

唯一的事情是，你可以把马尔科姆加在那里，而不改变已经在那里的东西吗?

What about having him sitting on the tree trunk on the right of the picture?

让他坐在图片右边的树干上怎么样?

Yes, that would be fine.

是的，那样可以

And do you want him watching the other people?

你要他看着其他人吗?

No, he's been left out of all the fun, so I'd like him to be crying - that'll contrast nicely with the next picture,

不，他已经失去了所有的乐趣，所以我想让他哭，会和下一个画面产生很好的对比，

where he's laughing at the clowns in the carnival.

在那里他在笑狂欢节里的小丑．

Right, I'll do that.

好的，我会那么做的．

And then the drawing of the people ice skating in the forest.

然后在森林里有人滑冰的画．

I wasn't too happy with that one.

我对那个感到不太高兴．

Because they're supposed to be skating on grass, aren't they?

因为他们应该在草地上滑冰，不是吗?

That's right, and it's frozen over.

不错，它完全冻结．

At the moment it doesn't look quite right.

现在看起来不太对．

Mm, I see what you mean.

嗯，我明白你的意思．

I'll have another go at that.

我要另一幅画来完成那个．

And I like the wool hats they're wearing.

我喜欢他们穿的羊毛帽子．

Maybe you could give each of them a scarf, as well.

也许你也可以给他们每人一条围巾．

Yeah, that's easy enough.

是啊，这很容易．

They can be streaming out behind the people to suggest they're skating really fast.

它们可以在人们背后飘动，暗示他们滑冰很快．

Mm, great.

嗯，很好．

Well that's all on the drawings.

好了，这是所有的图纸．

Right. So you've finished writing your story and I just need to finish illustrating it, and my story and your drawings are done.

好的，所以你已经完成了你故事的撰写，我只需要完成说明它，我的故事和你的画完成了．

Part B :

So the next thing is to decide what exactly we need to write about in the report that goes with the stories,

所以接下来的事情是决定我们需要在报告中伴随故事要写的内容，

and how we're going to divide the work.

以及我们将如何划分工作．

Right, Helen.

对，海伦．

What do you think about including a section on how we planned the project as a whole, Jeremy?

你怎么看，要不要包括我们如何规划整个项目，杰瑞米．

That's probably quite important.

这可能是相当重要的．

Yeah. Well, you've had most of the good ideas so far.

是啊，好的，到目前为止你有很多好主意．

How do you feel about drafting something, then we can go through it together and discuss it?

你觉得要不要写点草稿，然后我们可以一起过一下，然后进行讨论．

OK, that seems reasonable.

好的，这似乎是合理的．

And I could include something on how we came up with the ideas for our two stories, couldn't I?

我可以包括一些关于我们如何获得两个故事的想法，怎么样?

Well I've started writing something about that, so why don't you do the same and we can include the two things.

我已经开始写那个了，所以你为啥要做同一件事，我们可以将这两件事情都完成．

Right. So what about our interpretation of the stories?

好的，那么我们对这些故事的解释呢?

Do we need to write about what we think they show, like the value of helping other people, all that sort of thing?

我们需要写我们认为他们展现了什么，例如帮助其他人的价值，这一类的事情吗?

That's going to come up later, isn't it?

晚点会讨论那个的，不是吗?

I think everyone in the class is going to read each other's stories and come up with their own interpretations, which we're going to discuss.

我认为班上的每个人都会读彼此的故事，并提出自己的解释，我们将会进行讨论．

Oh, I missed that.

哦，我忘记了这个．

So it isn't going to be part of the report at all?

所以这一点也不属于报告的一部分．

No. But we need to write about the illustrations, because they're an essential element of children's experience of reading the stories.

不，但是我们需要写插图相关的内容，因为他们是孩子们读故事的基本元素．

It's probably easiest for you to write that section, as you know more about drawing than I do.

你来写这部分可能更容易，因为你比我知道的更多．

Maybe, but I find it quite hard to write about.

也许吧，但我觉得很难写．

I'd be happier if you did it.

如果你能写我会很开心．

OK. So when do you think...

好的，所以，你认为什么时候…
