Alrighty, friends.

咱们开始吧？

Shall we get things underway?

好的。

Okay.

咱们开始吧。

Let's jump in.

第五个故事。

Story number five.

距离苏格兰格拉斯哥英联邦运动会开幕还不到两个月了。

It's less than two months now until the Commonwealth Games begin in Glasgow, Scotland.

和奥运会类似吗？

Like the Olympics?

英联邦运动会和奥运会非常相似。

The Commonwealth Games are very similar to the Olympics.

它们都是每四年举办一次，参赛的都是顶尖运动员。

They're both held every four years and feature athletes at the top of their game.

但最大的不同在于，英联邦运动会只限于英联邦国家的运动员参加。

But the biggest difference is that the Commonwealth Games only include athletes from the Commonwealth.

这些国家都曾是大英帝国的一部分，并且承认查尔斯国王为英联邦元首。

They're countries that have links back to the British Empire and who recognize King Charles as the head of the Commonwealth.

所以像澳大利亚、新西兰和加拿大都包括在内，但日本和美国就不在其中。

So that includes countries like Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, but not countries like Japan and The United States.

被选中代表澳大利亚参赛的一位运动员是杰基·哈德森，她75岁，还是个曾祖母。

One athlete who's been selected to represent Australia is Jacky Hudson, who's 75 years old, and she's a great grandmother too.

我觉得她挺有意思的，因为她特别适合织毛衣，我奶奶就特别擅长这个。

I think she's quite funny because she would be really good at knitting because my grandmother is, like, so good at knitting.

杰基迫不及待想上场了，她是即将前往格拉斯哥参加英联邦运动会的杰克罗队成员，项目是草地保龄球。

Jacky can't wait to compete, and she's a pivotal member of the Jackaroo's squad bound for the Commonwealth Games to play the sport of lawn bowls.

我见过好多次了，就是一群人慢慢滚球。

I've seen those, like, lots of times where just people like rolling balls.

对，就是这个。

That's the one.

你得把一个叫‘球’的物体慢慢滚过草坪，尽量让它靠近一个叫‘杰克’的白色小球。

You roll a ball called a bowl slowly along a bowling green, trying to get it as close as possible to a white ball called the Jack.

杰基玩草地滚球已经很多年了，三年前还拿过世界草地滚球锦标赛的金牌。

Jacky has been playing lawn bowls for years and won gold at the World Bowls Championship three years ago.

这将是她第一次参加英联邦运动会，也让杰基成为最年长的英联邦运动会澳大利亚首秀选手之一。

This will be her first Commonwealth Games, making Jacky one of the oldest Australian athletes to make a Commonwealth Games debut.

我觉得她可能会有点紧张。

I think she would be a tiny bit nervous.

我第一次要去参加英联邦运动会。

First, I'm going to the Commonwealth Games.

我奶奶每次来都会带礼物，我觉得她也会一样，特别开心，还老带礼物。

My grandma brings presents when she comes, so I think she'll be, like, happy and bring presents a lot of times.

杰基一生都视力有障碍。

Jacky has been vision impaired her whole life.

她说，正因为这样，她年轻时几乎没怎么参与过体育运动。

She says that means she didn't get to play much sport throughout her life.

但杰基退休后，就试着玩起了草地滚球。

But when Jacky retired from work, she gave lawn bowls a go.

她现在和一位视觉引导员一起参赛，对方会提供指导，帮她调整方向。

She now competes alongside a vision director who provides guidance and helps her course correct.

杰基迫不及待想穿上绿金配色的国家队服，代表澳大利亚参加格拉斯哥的比赛。

Jacky can't wait to pull on the green and gold when she represents Australia in Glasgow.

加油，杰基。

Go, Jacky.

第四个故事。

Story number four.

如果你养了狗，它最擅长什么？

If you've got a dog, what are they good at?

我的狗叫蒙蒂。

My dog's name is Monty.

我这狗特别会叫，而且年纪很大了。

My dog is good at barking, and he is very old.

露娜很会捡东西，但就是不太会把东西叼回来。

Luna's good at fetching, but she's not very good at getting it back.

十多年来，一只名叫贝爾的优秀工作犬一直在执行探测任务。

For more than a decade, a very good boy named Bear has been working as a detection dog.

我见过这种狗，它们有时候会嗅来嗅去的。

I've seen one of these dogs, so sometimes they, they sniff something.

我通常在机场看到它们。

Usually, I see them at the airport.

哦，那些是缉毒犬，但貝爾的工作有点不一样。

Oh, those are sniffer dogs, but Bear's work is a little different.

作为探测犬，貝爾特别擅长嗅出考拉。

As a detection dog, Bear is skilled at sniffing out koalas.

在山火和洪水之后，它帮助野生动物救援人员找到这些濒危动物。

That's come in handy after fires and floods, leading wildlife rescuers to save the endangered animal.

黑夏山火之后，貝爾帮忙找到了一百多个考拉，很多都需要紧急送医。

After the Black Summer bushfires, Bear helped find more than 100 koalas, and many of them had to be rushed off to see a vet.

如今，经过十一年的出色工作，貝爾即将退休。

Now, after eleven years of great work, Bear is retiring.

我觉得他特别聪明。

I think he's just very smart.

能有只这么厉害的考拉，真是再好不过了。

I think it's very good for a koala that's a ninja.

确实如此。

It is.

但现在，这个工作机会空出来了，等着新的探测犬来接手。

But now, there's a job up for grabs for a new detection dog.

这只狗得具备几项关键能力。

This pooch needs to have a few crucial skills.

比如说，得有侦探的本事、嗅觉灵敏，还得有个好鼻子。

Like, maybe they need, like, a a detective skill, a sniffing skill, and a nose skill.

我觉得它还得有幽默感。

And I think it also needs to have a good sense of humor.

有道理，不过想应聘的狗必须不到两岁，精力充沛，不能有追捕野生动物的倾向，还得对捡球着迷。

Good thought, but dogs wanting the gig must be younger than two years, energetic, have no interest in chasing wildlife, and be obsessed with fetching balls.

我觉得找这样的狗挺容易的，你只要扔个球，看谁先抢到就行。

I think it would be easy to find one of those dogs because you just, like, throw a ball and see which one gets it first.

可想而知，最出色的那只狗会接受大量训练，学会一项全新又重要的技能——追踪考拉。

As you can imagine, the top dog will be given plenty of training, so it can perform a brand new and very important trick, tracking down koalas.

但对Bear来说，他已经开始退休了。

But for Bear, he's started his retirement.

我不禁好奇，他现在都在干些什么呢。

I wonder what he might be getting up to.

就是晒晒太阳，住着狗旅馆，每天吃狗零食，还不用洗澡。

Just chilling out in the sun, having a in a dog hotel, and just eating dog treats every day without getting a bath.

这样的日子，也不算太差吧？

That wouldn't be too rough, would it?

明白吗？

Get it?

第三个故事。

Story number three.

睡觉前，你最喜欢和大人一起读什么书？

When it's bedtime, what books do you like to read with your grown ups?

凯蒂·柯比写的书。

Books by Katie Kirby.

我喜欢读《哈利·波特》这样的章节书，还有侦探女孩系列。

I like to read chapter books like Harry Potter or like detective girls.

我从学校图书馆借来的关于地球的书，比如讲龙卷风的《狂野、潮湿又多风》。

Books I borrow from the school's library about the earth, like, wild, wet, and windy about tornadoes.

听起来挺有意思的，我得找来读一读。

Sounds like a book I should give a whirl.

在汤斯维尔，有两个小男孩特别喜欢和爸爸一起读睡前故事，布雷森，因为那本书是他爸爸写的。

In Townsville, there are two boys who love reading one particular bedtime story with their dad, Braithen, and that's because their dad wrote it.

这本书叫《暗鸸鹋在哪里？》

The book is called Where Is the Dark Emu?

布雷森是用古贾尔语写的这本书。

And Braithen wrote it in Gujjal.

在哪里

Where

那只黑色的鸸鹋？

is the dark Emu?

我走了。

I'm gone.

我走了。

I'm gone.

古贾尔语是他们族群——古贾尔人的语言，目前能流利使用的人不到十个。

Gudjal is the language of their mob, the Gudjal people, and fewer than 10 people can speak the language fluently.

那你觉得，为什么布雷森要用古贾尔语写这本书呢？

Why then do you think Braithen wrote his book in Gudjal?

他会把这本书传给自己的孩子，等写完之后，他对原住民文化的了解也会更深。

He'll pass it on to his children, and then and then after he finishes the book, he'll know a lot more about Aboriginal people.

他想把自己的知识传承下去，这样他才能真正掌握这些知识。

He would wants to pass on his knowledge so that he knows the knowledge.

是的。

Yeah.

布雷森写这本书，是为了让他的孩子从小就能学到传统的语言。

Braithen wrote the book so his kids could learn their traditional language from a young age.

如果我不把这些传下去，我们家的黑人文化就断了。

If I wasn't passing it on, black culture stops in my family.

所以我觉得这特别重要。

So I thought it was really important.

布雷森写书时，用了一位古贾尔长者编的词典。

To write his book, Braithen used a dictionary written by a Gudjal elder.

这帮了他不少忙，方便翻译。

It helped with translation.

不过，这种语言的很多内容已经失传了。

However, much of the language has been lost.

澳大利亚是全球语言消失率最高的国家之一。

Australia has one of the highest rates of language loss in the world.

殖民之前，澳大利亚有超过两百五十种原住民语言，现在只剩下一百五十多种还在使用。

There were more than 250 indigenous languages before colonization, and now there are just over 150 indigenous languages still spoken.

但布雷森认为，这种情况有望好转。

But Braithen says this could change for the better.

我们的孩子，还有下一代，从小就开始接触这种语言，慢慢就变得很自然了，它并没有完全消亡。

Our kids and the the next kids, you know, grow up on it as well, and it just becomes, you know, a natural thing, and it's not it's not all been dying.

它正在复苏。

It's it's growing.

它还活着。

It's living.

布雷森计划再为儿子们写更多图画书，用古贾尔语教他们更多本族语言。

Braithen has plans to write more picture books for his sons in Gudjal so that they can learn more of their indigenous language.

第二个故事。

Story number two.

在昆士兰州的图翁巴，当地居民正努力让一种已有百年历史的传统重获新生。

In the Queensland city of Toowoomba, locals have been working hard to bring something that's more than 100 years old back to life.

这是一道用罐头做的围栏，没多高。

It's a fence made out of tins and it's not that tall.

这其实是一种乐器。

It's an instrument.

你拿两双凉鞋，敲打那些管子，它就能发出音乐。

So you get like something like two sandals and then you bump the pipes and then it makes music.

咚，滴答咚，咚，哔哔，噗噗。

Boom, dig dig, boom, b, b, bum, bum.

这曲子真好听。

Well, that is a lovely tune.

这是一种叫管风琴的乐器。

This is a musical instrument known as a pipe organ.

它在托伍姆巴的一座教堂里放了一百多年，由一千多根金属管组成。

It's been sitting inside a Toowoomba church for over a century and made of more than 1,000 metal pipes.

通常，管风琴的声音是这样的。

Usually, pipe organs sound like this.

但这台119年历史的乐器，已经大约四年没发出过那样的声音了，因为它需要大量的维修。

But this one hundred and nineteen year old instrument hasn't made a sound like that for about four years because it's needed a lot of repairs.

对于那些生锈或损坏的，直接拆下来换新的就行。

For the ones that are, like, rusted and broken, just take them off and replace them with new ones.

可没那么简单。

Well, it's not that simple.

这台乐器可不只是那些管子。

This instrument isn't just the pipes.

还有琴键和踏板，都是管风琴演奏者操作的，所以社区特地从布里斯班请来了一位管风琴制造师来接手这项庞大的修复工作。

There's also keys and pedals that are played by an organist, and so the community called an organ builder from Brisbane to take on this mammoth fix.

把那个拆了，换一个新的。

Destroy that one and get a new one.

如果他们要重新组装，大概得用起重机来吊装大量管子。

If they're trying to build it, they would probably use a crane to pick up a lot of pipes.

一根一根地装，得花上几百万年。

One by one would take millions and millions and millions and millions of years.

你说得对，那些管子确实是一根一根修好的。

Well, you're right that the pipes were fixed one by one.

修复这架管风琴花了三年半的时间，现在终于又能演奏了。

It took three and a half years to restore the pipe organ, and it's finally being played again.

教堂和整个社区筹集了十五万美元来支付修复费用。

The church and the wider community raised $150,000 to pay for the restoration work.

因为他们希望它能恢复原状。

Because they want it fixed.

因为它实在是太，太，太，太

Because it's, like, very, very, very, very

古老而珍贵了。

old and special.

没错。

Exactly.

这周城市正在举办一场名为管风琴独奏会的音乐会来庆祝，四年之后，这不再是个遥不可及的梦想了。

And the city is celebrating this week with a concert called an organ recital, which, after four years, is no longer a pipe dream.

好了，各位朋友。

Alright, friends.

我们热身完毕，现在进入重头戏——我们称之为‘本周惊奇’。

We've warmed up, and now it's time for the main performance, which we call our

这周的惊奇故事。

Wow of the Week.

这个故事让我惊叹不已，因为它像一个谜。

This story made me go wow because it's like a mystery.

在西澳大利亚，有几位室友去超市购物后，发现买的东西比预期的要多。

In Western Australia, some housemates came home from a grocery shop with more than they thought they'd bought.

他们正在卸货时，其中一个室友在生菜袋里发现了一样不寻常的东西。

As they were unloading their shopping, one housemate spotted something unusual in their bag of lettuce.

一只青蛙正躺在塑料袋里吃东西。

It's a frog eating food in a plastic bag.

没错。

Yep.

一只小绿蛙被封在生菜塑料袋里，正盯着他们看。

Sealed inside a plastic bag of lettuce was a small green frog staring at them.

但其中一位叫劳拉的室友说，第一个发现它的人并不担心。

But as one of the housemates named Laura said, the person who first saw it wasn't worried.

他是最淡定的澳大利亚人，还说：‘我这生菜里居然有只青蛙。’

He's the most casual Australian ever, and he's like, bro, I've got a lettuce, like a frog in my lettuce.

那我们能怎么办呢？

And what are we supposed to do?

这确实是个问题。

Well, that was the question.

塑料袋上有透气孔，所以这只青蛙——他们给它取名叫格雷格——能正常呼吸。

The bag had air holes, so the frog, which they named Greg, was able to breathe.

而且袋子里还有 plenty 的生菜，够它吃。

It also had plenty of lettuce to snack on.

室友们觉得这小家伙挺可怜，就决定把它放生到附近的一个水塘里。

The housemates felt bad for the critter and decided to set it free in a nearby dam.

我觉得把青蛙放进水塘不太妥当，它可能会死。

I think it's not a good idea to put it in the dam because it might die.

那里可能有对青蛙来说很危险的动物。

Could be dangerous animals for a frog in there.

是的。

Yeah.

最好的做法是，发现包装里有动物或昆虫，就报告给初级产业部。

The best advice is to report any animals insects found in packaging to the Department of Primary Industries.

但这些室友因为格雷格这只青蛙太震惊了，立马就采取了行动。

But these housemates were so surprised by Greg the frog that they leapt into action early.

但问题还是来了，青蛙到底是怎么进到袋子里的？

But the question remains, how exactly did the frog find itself in the bag?

我觉得是某个女巫或者巫师把一只乌龟放进塑料袋，结果被人施了法，变成了青蛙。

I think a witch slash wizard put a turtle in the plastic bag, but then someone turned it into a frog.

他本来就在工厂里生活，后来看见袋子上有一只苍蝇。

He was just living in the factory, and then he saw a fly on the bag.

然后他就想，得吃掉它，接着就扑过去吃。

And then he was like, I need to eat that, and then he went to go to eat it.

结果没扑着，直接掉进袋子里了。

And then he missed and then fell into the bag.

很可能就是这么回事。

That might well be it.

卖生菜的超市已经展开了自己的调查。

The supermarket that sold the lettuce had started an investigation of their own.

这也不是他们第一次在沙拉袋里发现活物了。

And it's not the first time a critter had been hiding in one of their salad bags.

几年前，这家超市卖过一袋沙拉，里面藏着一只大蜘蛛。

A few years ago, the supermarket chain sold a bag of salad, and inside was a large spider.

太吓人了。

That's so scary.

那是什么蜘蛛？

What type of spider was it?

咱们别想这个了。

Let us not think about that.

好吧。

Alrighty.

我刚才讲得挺投入的，希望你们都听仔细了，现在到了今天的测验时间。

I hope you've been listening carefully as I've been riveting on because it's time for today's quiz.
