Unit 6 TravelListening task 1I was spending my summer in a remote village in Ghana（我在Ghana的一个偏远小村庄度过了我的暑假）. I got afflicted with “the runny stomach”, as the family I lived with called it.（我被腹泻折磨着，因为我住的那户人家就叫“腹泻”） After 5 days of the runny stomach, we left the village and took a 12-hour car ride to the capital city（经过了5天的折磨，我们离开村子坐了12小时的车去了中心城市）. Needless to say（多余的就不说了）, 12-hour car rides and runny stomachs arent compatible. （12小时的车程让我一直忍受着腹泻）Once we had to stop in a village, （有一次我们不得不在一个村庄停下来）greet the 20 or so people that were there（问了20多个村民）, give a detailed explanation of my condition（详细得解释了我的情况）, and then I was allowed to use a brand-new porcelain toilet（最后我被允许使用一个全新的瓷卫生间）. I was very embarrassed because they had someone clean the toilet and stand outside while I did my noisy business.（我觉得非常尴尬因为当我上厕所时有人站在外面打扫） Through a crack in the bathroom wall I could hear some kids washing the dishes.（透过厕所的缝隙，我能听到一些孩子在洗碗） I was splendid entertainment for the kids.（对那些孩子来说，我是绝佳的笑料） Each time I let out some gas, I heard squeals of delight and hysterical laughter.（每一次我释放出一些气体（放屁）时，就会听到高兴的尖叫声和异常兴奋的笑声）They also muttered about “runny stomach”（他们还低声嘀咕着流鼻涕的胃（腹泻）. But the highlight of my sickness had to be the wedding we attended in the capital.（但是最重要的是，在我病的时候必须参加一个在城市的婚礼） There I was greeted by countless guests. They asked about the details of my stomach condition.（在那，无数的客人问候我，关心着我的病情） On my 8th day of sickness, we went to a private hospital and for the next two weeks I took lots of prescribed antibiotics and drank bottles of oral rehydration salts. （在我生病的第8天，我们去了一家私人医院。在接下来的2个星期，我使用了大量抗生素，服用了很多瓶生理盐水）My condition began improving in about two days.（两天后，病情好转） Much to my disappointment, the of diet.（ 令我失望的是，粪便和血液样本显示阴性，所以饮食不规律导致了我的病况）Needless to say, I learned not to be shy about stomach conditions.（不用说，我学会了不会因为腹泻而害羞了）Listening task 2When he realized that his short-term memory was failing,(当我的丈夫意识到他的短时记忆能力出了点问题时） my husband decided to wear a multi-pocketed vest.（他决定穿一件多口袋的背心） The vest, with its 17 pockets each serving a purpose, did work for a while. （这件有17个口袋的背心，每个口袋都有自己的作用，确实在一段时间内起了作用）Things were going so well that he started to relax a little and one day he turned back to his traditional pants-pocket wallet.（一切都挺顺利的，他开始有点放松了。有一天，他换回了他原来的放在裤子中的钱包）Just seconds after boarding the crowded Rome subway（在登上拥挤的罗马地铁的几秒后）, a pickpocket was attracted by the familiar bulge.（这个熟悉的鼓鼓的口袋吸引了小偷） My husband stared at him for a moment.
