Y: 各位听众好，我是杨晨。欢迎到美语咖啡屋！
J: Hello I'm Jody, welcome to American Cafe! On this edition of American Cafe we are going to talk to our friend Jeannie from West Virginia.
Y: 好香啊。你是在煮汤吗？
J: No, I am boiling soup. I am boiling brown.
Y: Brown？ 你说的颜色里的brown, 棕色吗？
J: That is right. I am boiling the color brown.
Y: Jody, 你真是越来越可爱了。 颜色也能煮吗？
J: Of course, you can boil a color. I got the idea from Jeannie, the woman artist we met who raises sheep and then uses their wool to make stuff.
Y: 对。我认识Jeannie。她非常特别。为什么说她特别呢？ 因为她不但自己养羊，还会剪羊毛，织毛衣。 她织的每一件毛衣都是艺术品。
J: That is right. She also dyes the wool herself.
But Yang Chen, you forgot a part of the process.
Y: 她还会给羊毛染色啊？
J: People who dye wool naturally use by-products found in nature like fruit, leaves and bark from trees, vegetables, even bugs!
Y: Bugs? 虫子，我最怕那些小虫子。 你刚才提到的by-product，能不能给大家解释一下？
J: By-product, spelled B-Y-P-R-O-D-U-C-T. A by-product is something that is left over from a process.
Y：对， By-product就是副产品的意思。
J: Jeannie is going to tell us how she is going to use by-product from trees like yellow boxwood elder, osage orange wood and walnut tress to get completely natural color.
Y: 你刚才提到的yellow boxwood elder或者是osage orange wood...
J: Those are just types of trees.
Y: 好。我们就听听Jeannie是利用那些by-products来作染料。
