主播：Flora（中国）+ Selah（美国）歌曲：Good Time今天的节目是儿童节专题，我们来聊一聊——我们怀念的童年。主播Flora和Selah回想起自己的童年真的是回忆满满。两位主播都是00后，而且Selah的童年大部分也是在中国度过的，所以她们聊起来很有共鸣。下面是她们美好的童年回忆分享，和她们一起打开记忆的窗，一起回到童年。01 A childhood very close to nature 贴近自然的童年When Flora was a kid and went to her grandpa's house every summer, her grandpa would take her fishing(她的姥爷会带她去钓鱼). Flora记得她第一次拿起鱼竿钓鱼，没过几分钟就钓上来一条。She was so excited. 也许这就是“新手的运气”。还有一次是下雨后河水漫上来，她就在水坑里找小虾。So they can have fried shrimps. It was really satisfying (很满足). She had a great time out in nature.• fried /fraɪd/ adj.油炸的• satisfying /ˈsætɪsfaɪɪŋ/ adj.令人满足的They would do fishing, gardening and raise poultry, etc(他们会钓鱼、种菜、养家禽等). But she rarely gets the chance to do that nature stuff now (但她现在很少有机会做那些贴近自然的事情了). That's why she misses it so much (这就是为什么她如此怀念那段时光). • poultry /ˈpoʊltri/ n.家禽• rarely /ˈrerli/ adv.罕有，很少02 A Childhood without loneliness 不孤独的童年She spent most of her childhood in the countryside of Jinan, and also spent three years in Tianjin (她童年的大部分时间都在济南的乡村度过，也在天津待了三年), but she still prefers the time in Jinan (更喜欢在济南度过的时光),因为她在那里有很多朋友，这些好朋友是她的“发小”。• countryside /ˈkʌntrisaɪd/ n.乡村• prefer /prɪˈfɜ: r/ v.更喜爱“发小”就是彼此的父辈互相认识，从小一块长大的，并且长大之后也经常一块玩的伙伴。在英语中，“发小”对应的词是“buddy”。They used to do a lot of stuff together. They'd go to school and leave together, do their homework, and hang out on the weekends(周末一块儿出去玩). She had her buddies and friends to make memories with and fill her time (她有自己的伙伴和朋友，可以和她们一起留下美好的回忆，充实自己的时间). She never feels alone when she is with her buddies.• buddy /ˈbʌdi/ n.伙伴，好朋友• hang out闲逛：在某个地方消磨时间，特别是与朋友一起。Flora记得当时最热闹的事情就是大家聚在一起看电影。But it's very different from watching a movie in a cinema nowadays.他们是在空地上放露天的电影，不管是老人、年轻人还是小孩，他们都自备马扎儿、板凳，聚在一起，想看电影就看，不想看也可以在旁边活动身体，聊聊天，总之就是松弛感拉满了。They’re all chillaxed.• cinema /ˈsɪnəmə/ n.电影院• chillaxed adj．放松的Chillax它是分别从chill和relax中分别取了一部分然后合成了一个词——chillax。It meansto relax and stop feeling angry or nervous about something (它意味着放松，既不生气，也不紧张). So it's a combination of chill out and relax (是chill out和relax的结合).也就是我们说的“松弛感”。03 Childhood games 儿时的游戏Selah also has many fantastic childhood memories. One of the common games they played was Sharks and Minnows(鲨鱼捉小鱼).她们也会玩Hide & Seek, Charades(你来比划我来猜), board games (棋盘类游戏)。• fantastic /fænˈtæstɪk/adj. 极好的，非常棒的She also spent much of her childhood playing outside with her Chinese friends（她童年的大部分时间都和中国朋友在外面玩）.Selah比较喜欢的户外游戏有：riding her bike, climbing trees, playing in sandboxes(在沙坑里玩), making up games(玩发明游戏). 主播Selah认为她的童年was pretty close to nature, too。It's good for both their physical and mental health(这非常有利于她们的身心健康).• sandbox n.沙箱；沙盒• physical /ˈfɪzɪk(ə)l/ adj.身体的• mental /ˈment(ə)l/ adj.精神的Selah回忆说，当她在济南住的时候，they had a small river in her apartment complex，when it froze（当河面结冰的时候），they would even skate on it（可以在上面滑冰）。The ice on the river would have been really solid (结实的) back then.*【温馨提示】滑冰还是要去正规的滑冰场。• complex /kəmˈpleks/ n.综合大楼，建筑群• froze v.冻结（freeze的过去式形式）• solid /ˈsɑ: lɪd/ adj.结实的，牢固的主播Selah和Flora没有想到，她们都有过一段在济南的美好时光，更没想到的是，they finally met each other some years later（多年后她们会相遇）。04 Childhood cartoons 那些年看过的动画片谈起童年回忆，她们还有一个很有共鸣的点：they both love watching cartoons when they were kids（喜欢看动画片）。Selah小时候看过《葫芦娃》《孙悟空》《大耳朵图图》以及whatever else was on TV! Selah也看过家庭喜剧Home with Kids《家有儿女》，这部喜剧真的是时代的眼泪了，之前是打开电视就能看的。Flora特别喜欢《海绵宝宝》（SpongeBob SquarePants）。It was one of her favorite cartoons during her childhood.前一段时间她还重温了一下这部动画片，再看的时候真的会有很多不一样的感受。比如里边有一句台词长大再看忽然就懂了：谁都会犯错，所以人们才会在铅笔的另一头装上橡皮（Anyone can make a mistake, that's why people put erasers on the other end of pencils）。小时候觉得动画片只是带给了我们欢声笑语，现在才明白原来动画片还传递着让我们收益一生的价值观。有人说：“以前的动画片只有一个缺点，那就是不清晰。现在的动画片只有一个优点，那就是太过清晰。”Flora believes that high-quality cartoons like the previous ones are rarely seen nowadays (好像之前那样高质量的动画片现在很少见到了).• previous adj. /ˈpri: viəs/ adj.以前的，先前的05 The childhood of children today 当下孩子们的童年现在的小孩好像比她们当时“忙”多了。我们小时候放学后的活动是：夏天去钓鱼，冬天去滑冰，甚至是爬树等等。But kids these days don't seem to have much time or even the opportunity to do that anymore (但是现在的小孩好像都没有太多时间甚至没有机会做这些了).他们可能由于学业上的压力或其他原因，要花更多的时间在其他的事情上。• opportunity /ˌɑ: pərˈtu: nəti/ n.时机，机会Selah believes parents are more nervous and protective of their kids than before (父母比以前更焦虑，更保护他们的孩子了).无论是中国还是美国，父母都是一样的：they don’t want to let their kids go as much (不想让孩子离开)。但是现在想想，谁又能独善其身呢？我们不也是在花更多的时间在工作上吗？• nervous /ˈnɜ: rvəs/ adj.神经紧张的，担忧的• protective /prəˈtektɪv/ adj.保护的，防护的But no matter how, we want all the kids now to be healthy, strong and happy (但是不管怎么样，我们都希望现在的小朋友们能够健康、茁壮、快乐地成长)! Once again, Happy Children's Day to you!不管你是小朋友，还是身边有小朋友，一席都在这里祝你们儿童节快乐！也祝我们所有的大朋友们永远年轻，永远热泪盈眶！请留言告诉我们：你怀念的童年是怎样的呢？
