Part A :

Right, number one.

好的，第一个。

I thought this one sounded nice: there'd be lots of activity and it doesn't need too much in the way of equipment.

我觉得这一个听起来很好：有很多的活动，它不需要太多的设备。

Yes, that's true, but don't you think it's a bit risky to get a group of eight - year - olds pushing each other around a classroom like that?

是的，这是真的，但是你不认为让一组八岁的孩子在教室里互相推着对方的想法是有点冒险吗?

Someone could get hurt.

有人可能受到伤害。

NO. I don't like the sound of that one at all!

不，我不喜欢那个!

Maybe you're right.

也许你是对的

What about number two, with the paperclips?

那第二个，用回形针吗?

It sound tame enough.

听起来很乏味。

Yes, a bit too tame if you ask me.

是的，如果你问我是有点太乏味。

I think it needs to be something a bit more active and interesting than that, don't you?

我认为需要更加活跃和有趣，不是吗?

Yes, I suppose you're right.

是的，我想你是对的。

We won't get a very good mark if the children don't actually enjoy the experiments, and I suppose we could turn them off science for good!

如果孩子们不喜欢实验，我们就不会有很好的成绩，我们可能让他们变得不喜欢科学!

Well, what about the next one,number three?

那么，下一个，第三个吗?

Now. I quite like the idea of this one.

现在我很喜欢这个想法。

Yes, so do I, but I seem to remember when we did it at high school we had to wait up to a fortnight before we saw any halfway decent results.

是的，我也是，但我似乎记得我们在高中做这个实验的时候，我们不得不等2个星期才得到一个半吊子结果。

Oh, yes well, that won't be any good then.

哦，是的，我记得，这不会更好。

We'll only see the kids for one or two hours at the most.

我们最多只能让孩子呆1到2小时。

Yes, and we have to do the experiments and write up our results within a week, so that one won't do at all.

是的，我们必须做实验，在一周内写出我们的结果，这样那个实验就不行了。

OK, well, what did you think of number four?

好吧，好吧，你认为第4个怎么样?

I like the idea of it, but do you think it will be a bit elementary for them?

我喜欢这个主意，但是你觉得这对他们来说有点简单吗?

Well they are only eight you know!

他们只有8岁!

I know, but you know what I mean. Don't you think the activity itself is a bit babyish?

我知道，但你知道我的意思。你不觉得活动本身是有点幼稚吗?

Hmm, maybe you're right.

也许你是对的。

They might have fun but, I mean, cutting out a circle and colouring it in?

他们可能有乐趣，但，我是说，剪下一个圆圈，然后给它上色?

OK. well. what about number five?

好的，好的，那第五个呢?

I thought this one sounded a bit too good to be true - great equipment!

我觉得这一个听起来有点太好了，很棒的设备!

Yeah.

是的。

But don't you think it's a bit ambitious for this age group?

但你不认为这对于这个年龄组有点雄心勃勃?

I mean, I don't want to start off something and then have to abandon it if they just can't cope with it.

我是说，我不想开始一件事，然后不得不放弃它，如果他们不能应付它。

I could see us ending up doing just about all of the work for them.

我可以看到我们为了他们结束了所有的工作。

I guess you're right.

我想你是对的。

Oh well, maybe we could store that idea away for later.

哦，好吧，也许我们可以将这一想法储存在后面。

Yep, let's hope this second book has something better!

是的，希望这第二本书有更好的东西!
