美语咖啡屋 Lesson 36: Jeannie Spinning Wool[1]
Y: 各位听众好，我是杨晨。欢迎您到美语咖啡屋！
J: Hello everyone! Welcome to American Cafe!
(Music break)
J: On today's American Cafe we're going to visit my home state - West Virginia. 西维吉尼亚！
Y: Yeh! 说起西维吉尼亚，我们知道西维吉尼亚以风景优美，民风纯朴而著称。是一个旅游的好地方。
J: Exactly! In fact, Yang Chen, I recently went there on a visit. I went to an arts-and-crafts festival in a town called Rennick. And there, I met a woman named Jeannie.
Y: Arts-and-crafts就是工艺美术的意思. 那么Jeannie从事的是那一种工艺美术呐。
J: Well, when I met Jeannie she was sitting at an old fashioned spinning wheel spinning wool.
Y: Wow. 她会纺毛线。Um, 那她还会作什么？纺毛线似乎还不能算是工艺美术啊。
J: Well, you're right. But Jeannie not only spins the wool, she is involved in an amazing process that begins with raising sheep and ends with a piece of art that you can wear. Jeannie from West Virginia.
实录1: Jeannie: My name is Jeannie and I'm from Rennick, WV. I grew up outside of Pittsburgh, but I've lived here for over 30 years now.
Y: Jody, 我记得，你好象说过你小时候也在匹兹堡附近住过？
J: Yeah, you have a great memory. I grew up outside of Pittsburgh just like Jeannie. It is such a small world. Now, back to Jeannie.
实录2: Jeannie: And I had for years a farm with a little flock of Cotswold sheep. And so that's what I'm spinning today. Ah, It's kind of coarse wool compared to some but it's very easy spinning.
Y: Jeannie刚才说的 "Cotswold sheep"是什么？
