亚当带着丹尼尔和汤姆来滑冰，他去一旁租滑冰用具。带这么两个小孩子来滑冰，应该不是一件简单的事情吧！

Clerk: What can I do for you, young man?
Adam: I need to rent three pairs of skates for the morning.
Clerk: What sizes do you need?
Adam: One pair of 37, and two pairs of 21. One for me, and the other two for two kids.
Clerk: Here you are. And here are three crash helmets.
Adam: Thanks. Well, those two kids are beginners. What should I do about their safety?
Clerk: Well, there are a lot to do, but nothing to worry about. First, make sure they don't go far from the railings.
Adam: Oh, yeah, maybe I should ask them just to walk along the railings.
Clerk: That's a good idea. And remind them to be slow at the beginning, not to run into the railings.
Adam: OK. Anything else?
Clerk: Never go to the center of the lake. The ice there is too thin to skate on.
Adam: Got it. Thanks for reminding me. And, are there any intensive training courses?
Clerk: Yes, there is. Oh, yeah, you can just leave the kids to the trainers. There they can learn the basics and practice their skills.
Adam: Great. Is there anything that I should do about the frostbite?
Clerk: Yes, you can apply this ointment on their ears and lips for protection.
Adam: All right. Thank you, sir.

工作人员：有什么需要吗，小伙子？
亚当：我需要租三副今天早上用的滑冰鞋。
工作人员：要什么码的？
亚当：一双37码的，两双21码的。一双给我，另外两双是给两个小孩的。
工作人员：给你。还有这是三个防护帽。
亚当：谢谢。还有，那两个小孩是初学者，对于他们的安全问题我应该做些什么呢？
工作人员：这个，有很多事项需要注意，但也不用太担心。首先，要保证他们不要离护栏太远。
亚当：哦，是啊，也许我该让他们只沿着护栏走。
工作人员：那是个好主意，另外还要提醒他们在开始的时候慢一点，别撞到护栏上。
亚当：好的。还有别的吗？
工作人员：绝对不可以走到湖的中央。那里的冰太薄不能滑。
亚当：知道了。谢谢你提醒我。还有，这里有强化训练班吗？
工作人员：是的，有的。哦，对了，你可以把孩子留给那些教练啊。在那里他们可以学习基本动作还可以练习技巧。
亚当：太好了。我能做点什么来预防冻伤呢？
工作人员：是的，你可以把这个软膏涂在他们的耳朵和嘴唇上用来保护。
亚当：好的。谢谢你，先生。
