Conversation A
对话A
Alex: The competition is starting. There are the first horse and rider, and they're moving fast.
阿莱克斯：比赛开始了。这是第一批马和骑手，他们跑得很快。
Susie: That's because they must complete the course in a set time.
苏西：那是因为他们必须在规定的时间内完成跳栏路线。
Alex: And they can't knock over the jumps, can they?
阿莱克斯：他们不能把跳栏撞倒，是吗？
Susie: No. The horse and rider must clear every jump. By the way, the jumps are called fences.
苏西：不能。马和骑手必须准确地跳过每个跳栏。顺便说一下，这些跳栏叫做障碍。
Alex: Uh-oh. The first horse knocked over a fence.
阿莱克斯：哦吼。第一匹马撞倒了障碍。
Susie: Then they get a penalty point.
苏西：那他们就被罚了一分。
