Part A :
Interesting.
有趣。
Right, let’s look at the content of your proposal now.
好的.那现在让我们看看你提议的内容吧。
Did you find it comprehensive enough?
你觉得这够全面嘛?
Well, yes and no.
嗯,不大好说。
You've listed several different topics on your contents page, but I'm not sure they're all relevant.
你在目录页列出了几个不同的话题,但我不确定它们是否都是相关的。
No?
没有嘛?
Well, I thought that from the perspective of a field trip, one thing I needed to focus on was the sandstone plateaux and cliffs themselves.
嗯,我想从一场实地考察的角度来看,有一件事我需要专注于砂岩高原和悬崖本身。
The way they tower up from the flat landscape is just amazing.
它们在平原上耸立起来是非常惊人的。
The fact that the surrounding softer rocks were eroded by wind and rain, leaving these huge outcrops high above the plain.
事实上,周围较软的岩石被风雨侵蚀,留下这些巨大的岩石高出平原之上。
It's hardly surprising that tourists flock to see the area.
难怪那么多游客涌向这边来参观。
Well, yes, I'd agree with including those points…
嗯,是的,我同意包括这些观点…
And then the fact that it's been home to native American Navajos and all the social history that goes with that.
然后事实上这是美国土著,纳瓦霍族人的家和所有社会历史的见证。
The hardships they endured trying to save their territory from the invading settlers.
他们遭受各种困难竭力拯救他们的领地抵抗殖民者侵略。
Their culture is so rich - all those wonderful stories.
他们的文化是如此的丰富一有那么多精彩故事。
Well, I agree it's interesting, but it's not immediately relevant to your proposal, Sandra, so at this stage, I suggest you focus on other considerations.
我同意这很有趣,但这和你的提议并没有直接关系,桑德拉,所以在这个阶段,我建议你专注于其他东西。
I think an indication of what the students on the trip could actually do when they get there should be far more central, so that certainly needs to be included and to be expanded upon.
我想写明当学生到达考察的地方要做些什么更加扣题,所以这些要点就有必要写进去并且拓展了。
And I'd like to see something about the local wildlife, and vegetation too, not that I imagine there’s much to see.
我也想看看当地的野生动物和植被,而不是一直是在我想象中看得到的东西。
Presumably the tourist invasion hasn't helped.
大概是游客的入侵并没有帮助。
Okay… I’II do some work on those two areas as well.
好吧,我会在这两个方面花一些功夫的。
But you're right, there's not much apart from some very shallow-rooted species.
但你是对的,除了一些浅根的植物,那里基本上没什么植被。
Although it's cold and snowy there in the winter, the earth is baked so hard in the summer sun that rainwater can't penetrate.
虽然在冬天寒冷又下雪,但在夏天的阳光下,大地却在阳光下烤得很热,雨水无法穿透。
so it’s a case of flood or drought, really.
因此,要么发洪水要么就是干旱。
So, I understand.
好的我理解了。
Now, before we look at everything in more detail, I’ve got a few factual questions for you.
现在,在我们看的更加详细之前,我有一些事实问题要问题。
It would be a good idea to include the answers in your finished proposal, because they're missing from your draft.
如果可以在你最后的提议上加上这些问题的答案就更好了,因为你现在的草拟提议上没有写这些回答。
Fine.
好的。
So, you mentioned the monoliths and the spires, which was good, but what area does the tribal park cover?
所以,你提到的巨石和尖塔这是好的,但是部落公园覆盖多少区域?
Do you know?
你知道吗?
12,000 hectares, and the plain is at about 5,850 meters above sea level.
12000公顷,平原海拔约5850米。
Larger than I expected. Okay.
比我想象的要大。好的,
Where's the nearest accommodation?
最近的住宿在哪里?
That's a practical detail that you haven't included.
这是一个非常实际的细节,你没有包括。
Have you done any research on that?
你有没有做过这方面的研究?
Yes. There's nowhere to stay in the park itself, but there's an old trading post called Goulding quite near.
是的。公园本身没有地方住,但有一个古老的贸易站叫古尔丁就在附近。
All kinds of tours start from Goulding, too.
各种旅游也从古尔丁开始。
What kind of tours?
什么样的旅游?
Well, the most popular are in four-wheel drive jeeps, but I wouldn't recommend hiring those.
嗯,最流行的是四驱吉普车一但是我不建议租用那些车。
I think the best way to appreciate the area would be to hire horses instead and trek around on those.
我想欣赏这个地区最好的方法是租用马匹,慢慢跋涉。
Biking is not allowed and it's impossible to drive around the area in private vehicles.
骑自行车是不允许的,也不可能驾驶私人汽车游玩此地。
The tracks are too rough.
道路实在太崎岖。
Okay, lastly, what else is worth visiting there?
好的,最后,还有什么是值得去看的?
There are several caves, but I haven’t looked into any details.
有几个洞穴,但我没有再自己看下去了。
I'II find out about them.
我会去仔细瞧瞧的。
Okay, good. Now what I'd like to know is…
好,好的。现在我想知道的是…
