At a lake in upstate New York the next morning. Grandpa, Philip, and Robbie are preparing to fish.
Robbie：This is really neat! When do we eat?
Philip：First, we have to catch some fish. In order to catch fish, you have to do this. [He prepares the fishing line.] Here we go. That's it. Then drop it into the water. All of this comes before eating. OK?
Robbie：How do you know so much about fishing?
Philip：Grandpa taught me. We spent a lot of time fishing together.Now, the important thing is to get the hook close to the fish.All right? Like this. [He puts his fishing line into the water.]
Robbie：I think I see some fish right under us, Dad.
Philip：Oh, not a chance!
Robbie：I just saw a big one!
[A young boy arrives with a fishing rod.]
Grandpa：Hi, there!
Albert：Hi.
Grandpa：What's your name?
Albert：Albert.
Grandpa：Are you all alone?
Albert：Yes, sir.
Grandpa：How old are you, Albert?
Albert：I'm ten.
Philip：Where's your father?
Albert：He's up there at the lodge.
Philip：Does he know you're here?
Albert：Yes, sir.
Philip：Ok, Robbie, maybe you should watch him. The water's pretty deep here.
Robbie：I'll watch him, Dad.
A little while later. They are still fishing.
Robbie：What time is it?
Grandpa：It's almost lunchtime, and no fish yet.
Robbie：I can go up to the lodge for some hot dogs and drinks.
Philip：No way!We're here to catch our lunch.
Grandpa：To catch fish, you need the right magic.
Philip：That's right. I forgot! The right magic. Do it for Robbie, Dad.
Grandpa：You remember?
Philip：Sure. Come on.
Grandpa：Well, first, you have to turn your hat around like this. Then you close your eyes and say the magic words. Fish, fish, send me a fish.
Robbie： [He closes his eyes.] Fish, fish, send me a fish…I got one!
Grandpa：See, it works?
Robbie：It's a big one!
Philip：Well, it always worked for me, too.
Robbie：Grandpa, get the net, please!
[Grandpa gets the net, and Robbie finally catches the fish. ]
Robbie：Dad, you got one, too!
Philip：You bet I have! [Philip brings up a boot from the water. ]
Grandpa：Easy, Philip, easy.
Robbie：Sorry, Dad.
Philip：Well, one more and I've got a pair of boots.
Robbie：You didn't say the magic words.
Grandpa：Robbie's right.
Philip：Yes, but you did, and we've got our lunch. Let's build a fire and cook it! Come on, Albert, you can help us!
Albert：I want to stay here and fish.
Grandpa：All right, but be careful.
A little later. Grandpa, Philip, and Robbie are around their campfire.
Robbie：Is it finished yet?
Philip：I think so. I hope you like your fish well done.
Grandpa：Burned,you mean.
Philip：Hey, I'm a doctor, not a chef.
[They hear Albert calling from the lake.]
Albert：Help! Help! I can't swim!
Robbie：Dad! Grandpa! He fell in!
[Robbie and Philip rush to save Albert. They pull him from the water and place him on the dock.]
Philip：Easy does it, Robbie. That a boy. That's it.
Grandpa：He's not breathing, Philip!
Philip：Robbie, run to the car! Bring a blanket and my medical bag.
Robbie：Yes, Dad.
[Philip slowly breathes into the boy's mouth.]
Philip：Now, come on, son. Come on, son.
Grandpa：Breathe, Albert!

现在我们可以开始。这是一种非正式的表达方式。
2.Oh, not a chance!

3.Are you all alone?
all表示强调作用，你就一个人吗？
4.The water's pretty deep here.
pretty除了有形容词“漂亮”的意思之外，还可以做副词，表示“非常”的意思，相当于Very。

美国文化介绍
三.美国文化介绍
我们在学英语的过程中，无论是老师还是其他朋友经常告诉我们，学习一种语言，不只要学其语言，还要学其文化。现在就了解一下本文中出现的一些美国特色的文化吧！
Grandpa告诉Robbie要想钓到鱼，嘴里需念魔语“鱼儿、鱼儿，给我一条鱼儿”。其实这是没有科学根据的。但有些美国人也很迷信。比如有些美国人相信找到一棵四叶苜蓿能带来好运；有些人相信在楼梯下走过，及遇到数字13会带来恶运，因此美国许多高楼都没有十三层，十二层以上就是十四层了。很多人讲到高兴的事情时，会用手指背面敲敲木头，以免好运溜走，或坏运找上门来。小孩说谎时，更会偷偷把小手藏在身后，比划十字的样子，以免受到神的惩罚。这些都是有趣的洋迷信。
英美社会中有一些常见的迷信说法和禁忌，如下：
1) To get out of bed on the wrong side means you will have a bad day. 下床方向错了，一天都不会顺利。
2) It is unlucky to have a black cat cross the road in front of you. 看见黑猫在你面前横穿马路是不吉利的。
3) The bride should not see the husband on the morning before the wedding. 在婚礼举行前的早上，新娘不应见自己的丈夫。
4) Cattle lying down indicate rain. 牛躺下预示有雨。
5) A cricket in the house is good luck. 屋里有蟋蟀会带来好运。
6) To pass under a ladder brings bad luck. 从梯子下面走过会带来厄运。
7) Lighting three cigarettes from one match brings bad luck to the third person.一根火柴点燃三支香烟会给第三个人带来厄运。
8) To break a mirror brings seven years' bad luck. 打碎镜子会带来7年厄运。
9) Carrying a rabbit's foot brings good luck. 提起兔脚可交好运。
10) Opening an umbrella in the house is bad luck. 在屋中撑伞会倒霉。
这其中有些迷信有其流传的说法，但不少无从考证。如：在英美等国人们都喜欢猫，但对黑猫却有种种的禁忌。在英国，人们常把黑猫与巫婆联系在一起。巫婆在英国文化中是一个令人憎恶的形象：老太婆，头戴尖帽，骑一把扫帚，到处“兴风作浪”。而传说中，巫婆身边常有一只黑猫陪伴。所以直到今天，不少人仍认为黑猫主凶。
场景对话
四.急救对话
ADAM: Ah! It hurts. Don't touch it.
SCOTT: What part hurts?
ADAM: The shoulder.
SCOTT: Well, maybe you broke it. But what I'm worried about is this cut.
ADAM: It's not a cut. It's a gash! It's bigger than a cut! Ah! I need a doctor.
SCOTT: C'mon. Just don't move.
ADAM: I'm bleeding too much.
SCOTT: We don't have a decent First Aid Kit, do we?
ADAM: Yes. My bike has one under the seat. Get it, quick!
SCOTT: There's some tape, iodine, and cloth bandages.
I don't think the cloth bandages can stop the bleeding. What we need is a tourniquet.
ADAM: Wrap a few loops of the bandages around my upper arm, then twist.
That will work as a tourniquet.
After that, you can cut more of the bandages to cover the wound.
SCOTT: Good plan. Let me put some iodine on the cut.
ADAM: No, forget that! Do the tourniquet first. I'm losing too much blood.
SCOTT: Alright, alright. How did you cut this so bad?
ADAM: I ran it against that fence pole as I crashed. What do you think?
Damn, it hurts!
SCOTT: We'll have to get you to a hospital. I can ride you on the back of my bike.
ADAM: I'm lucky I wasn't killed.
I must have been going around forty-five miles an hour.
There was too much gravel on that corner. I slid out.
SCOTT: Yes, I almost slid too.
Alright. This tourniquet is tight. How does it feel?
ADAM: Make it tighter. I want the blood stopped.
Then wrap some bandages around the cut. Then we can go. Ouch! I hope I can walk.
SCOTT: Alright, I'm twisting it around. You tell me when to stop.
ADAM: There. Stop!
亚顿：啊！好痛，别碰我。
史考特：哪里痛？
亚顿：肩膀。
史考特：你可能骨折了，不过我担心的是你刮伤了。
亚顿：这不是刮伤，是割伤，比刮伤还深。啊！我要看医生。
史考特：拜托，别动。
亚顿：我正在大量流血。
史考特：我们有象样的急救箱吗？
亚顿：有，我车子的坐垫下有一个，快去拿！
史考特：有胶带、碘酒和布绷带。
我不认为布绷带可以止血，我们需要止血带。
亚顿：用绷带在我手臂上绕几圈，然后绷紧。
就和止血带的功用一样了。
之后，再剪几块绷带覆盖在伤口上。
史考特：好主意。让我在伤口上涂些碘酒。
亚顿：算了！先止血，我流太多血了。
史考特：好吧，好吧。你怎么会割这么深？
亚顿：我骑车撞到栏杆，你说呢？
该死，好痛！
史考特：要送你去医院才行，我可以骑车载你去。
亚顿：很幸运我没死。
我一定是骑到时速 45 哩。
转角有太多碎石，我就滑倒了。
史考特：我也几乎滑倒。
好了，止血带紧了，觉得怎样？
亚顿：再紧一点，我要把血止住。
用绷带在伤口附近多绕几圈，然后就可以走了。唉呦，希望我走得动。
史考特：好的，我在绷紧了。你跟我说什么时候停。
亚顿：好了，停！
口语素材
五、笑谈美国迷信
American Superstitions
Many of us already know about several American superstitions. Having a black cat cross your path, walking under a ladder, and breaking a mirror are all bad luck. In addition to these, there are many other superstitions that are worth knowing. Understanding them will keep you safe from evil spirits—if you believe in such things—and impress your American friends when you mention them.
Like the superstitions in other cultures, American superstitions often involve the things important in daily life, such as health, numbers, and marriage. For example, have you ever had a cough that would not go away? According to one American superstition, you should take a piece of your hair and put it between two slices of buttered bread. Next, feed this hair sandwich to a dog and say, “Eat well, you hound, may you be sick and I be sound.” This will trick the evil spirits and help your cough. It will also raise some eyebrows if you try it.
In American superstitions, the number three is very important. Often, Americans will say, "All things come in threes." Three is lucky because it represents the traditional family: mother, father, and child. Therefore, gifts, letters, and guests will often arrive at your home in groups of three. However, it is also possible for bad events, like accidents and funerals, to come in threes as well.
Another time people pay attention to superstitions is when they get married. During a wedding, brides must wear or carry “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.” The old and borrowed things will bring luck to the person who gives them to the bride. The new and blue things will bring good fortune to the bride herself. The next time someone you know is getting married, be sure to recite this phrase.
As it would be unlucky to discuss one more superstition, we will wind things up here. Keep your fingers crossed, and stay lucky!
笑谈美国迷信
我们许多人已经知道一些美国的迷信。路上碰见黑猫，从梯子下走过和打破了一面镜子都是不吉利的。此外还有其它许多迷信值得一知。了解这些迷信能让你远离恶灵──如果你相信它们的话──而当你在美国朋友面前提起这些迷信时，会让他们对你刮目相看。
正像其它文化中的迷信，美国的迷信通常与日常生活中的重要事情有关，如健康、数字和婚姻。如你有没有咳个不停的经历？根据美国的迷信，你应该把你的一根头发夹进两片涂了黄油的面包中。然后把这个夹有发丝的三明治拿去喂狗并对它说“好好吃，狗儿，希望你生病我健康”。这招就可以骗过恶灵，帮你治好咳嗽。如果你想这样做，也会让一些人感到惊讶。
在美国迷信中，数字“三”很重要。美国人常会说“无三不成礼”。三是个幸运数字，因为它代表了一个传统的家庭︰母亲，父亲和孩子。因此，礼物、信件和客人常常会成三出现在你的家。不过，事故和葬礼等不幸的事件也有可能会成三的出现。
人们留意迷信的另一个时刻是他们结婚的时候。婚礼中，新娘必须穿或带“一件旧的，一件新的，一件借来的和一件蓝色的东西。”旧的及借来的东西会给送东西给新娘的人带来幸运。而新的和蓝色的东西会给新娘本人带来好运。下次你认识的人结婚的时候，一定要背这句话给她听。
既然再讲一个迷信会倒霉，那我们就在这里结束吧。把食指和中指交叉，祈求好运而且永远走运！
