Today I'm going to talk about tents.
今天我想就帐篷进行讨论。
Camping is still one of the cheapest ways of having a holiday.
露营仍然是最便宜的度假方式之一。
And each year, over three million people take camping vacations, either here in Britain or abroad, mostly on the Continent.
无论是在英国还是在国外，每年有三百多万人露营度假。
Obviously, camping can't be as comfortable as living in a permanent house, but modern tents can be very comfortable indeed, with windows, bedrooms, kitchens and sitting rooms.
显然，露营不像住在常住房屋里一样舒适，但是现代帐篷配有窗户、卧室、厨房、客厅，其实已经很舒适了。
The most popular tent sold in Britain is the frame tent with two bedrooms and sleeping accommodation for four people.
在英国，卖得最火的是配有寝具的四人用双卧帐篷。
There is usually an outer tent of water-proofed fabric and a lighter inner tent or tents with a built-in groundsheet.
通常会有一个防水面料的外围帐篷，里面有一个轻便的内置帐篷或是一个带有防潮布的帐篷
The outer tent fits over the frame work, this is made of metal poles which are fitted together.
外围帐篷安置在帐篷的骨架上，它由金属的帐篷支杆组装而成。
The inner tent is attached to this frame.
内置帐篷固定在骨架里面。
Generally, the inner tent is about half the area of the outer tent.
一般来说，内置帐篷的面积是外围帐篷的一半。
The other half of the outer tent is the living area.
另外一半是生活用区。
This doesn't usually have a groundsheet but you can buy one to fit, though it costs extra.
生活用区一般不配备防潮布，但是可以额外花钱配一块。
The ordinary 4-bed frame tent doesn't usually have a separate kitchen area, but the larger ones often do.
典型的四床帐篷通常没有独立的厨房，但是大一点的帐篷会配备。
You can buy a kitchen extension for many tents, and it's worth buying one if you plan to stay camping in one place for more than a few days.
你可以买一个延伸出来的厨房供多个帐篷使用，如果你打算在一个地方露营较长时间，买这样一个延伸厨房还是非常值得的。
