3 .This is the third year they've run it and the timing's slightly different: for the last couple of years it's been around the fifth to seventeenth, but this year they wanted to allow everyone enough time to recover from the first of January celebrations and they've put it at the end of the month.

这是他们举办的第三年,举办的时间略有不同:在过去的几年中,它通常是在5号到17号,但今年他们想让每个人都有足够的时间从一月一日的庆祝活动中恢复过来,他们已经把它放在月底了。

1 .I'm going to tell you about two circus performances, but there're plenty of others in the programme.

3 .The first is the Circus Romano from Italy.

首先是来自意大利的马戏团Romano。

4 .As this is a travelling circus, it follows a long tradition by performing in a marquee - which is really like a canvas portable building, usually put up in a green space or car park, rather than in a theatre or stadium.

这是一个旅行马戏团,它遵循一个悠久的传统,即在一个帐篷里表演,真像是一个便携式帆布建筑表演,通常放在一个绿地或停车场,而不是在剧院或体育馆。

第一段

1 .In spite of this, Circus Romano isn't at all like the traditional circuses I grew up with.

尽管如此.Romano马戏团根本不是像伴我成长的传统马戏。

2 .There are no animals - just very talented clowning and acrobatic routines.

3 .It's a showcase for skills in dance and magic, rather than the usual ones you expect in a circus.

只有六个演员,这是一个小的制作,很适合会场,

5 .The Studio only seats about two hundred people.

工作室只有二百人左右的位子。

6 .For my money it's the aerial displays which are outstanding as well as the magical tricks - features which are missing from Circus Romano.

在我看来,它们的空中表演以及神奇的魔术是比较突出的——这是从Romano马戏团所没有的。

7 .An interesting feature of the show is the performers are so young - the youngest is only fourteen.

表演的一个有趣的特点是,演员是如此年轻,最小的是十四。

8 .But it's still well worth seeing: a good one for the whole family.
