老 美 教 你 说 地 道 美 语
什么？已经开始有蚊子了？
人间最美四月天，
马克老师在家开始灭蚊大战。
看来今年春天是真暖和呀～
蚊虫传播疾病，痒痒真难受，
尤其夏夜晚上还影响睡眠。
今天学点接地气的蚊虫英语，
蚊帐、蚊香、蚊拍应有尽有，
还要英文唠嗑说说防蚊妙招儿呢！

Jingjing: Guten tag, Mark. I thought we"d try a video call this time. Is your connection OK?
京晶：您好,马克。我想这次我们试试打视频电话对吧，你那边网络还好吗?
Jingjing
Mark
Mark: Yeah, it seems to be fine. I was just playing a game when your call came in.
马克：看起来还不错。你的电话打来的时候我正玩游戏呢。
Jingjing: I hope I didn"t make you lose. Hey, you look kinda tired.
京晶：希望我没让你输掉游戏。嘿，你看起来有点累。
Jingjing
Mark
Mark: I am tired. The last three nights, I was kept awake by mosquitoes.
马克：是挺累的。过去三个晚上，我被蚊子弄得睡不着觉。
Jingjing: Oh, that bites. Well, it"s the season for them.
京晶：噢，那可太糟了。现在到它们出现的季节了。
Jingjing
Mark
Mark: Yeah, spring, and all through summer, and early autumn.
马克：是啊，春天，整个夏天，还有早秋。
Jingjing: Are there a lot of mosquitoes where you live?
京晶：你住的地方有很多蚊子吗?
Jingjing
Mark
Mark: Not really. I used to live near a wetlands park. That was crazy. But one or two are enough to keep me from sleeping.
马克：那倒也没有。我以前住在一个湿地公园附近。那才疯狂呢，但一两个蚊子就足够让我没法睡了。
Jingjing: Don"t I know it. That buzzing sound makes it hard for anyone but the deepest sleeper to get a good night"s rest.
京晶：可不是吗！那种嗡嗡嗡的声音让任何人，除了那些睡得最沉的人，很难好好休息一晚。
Jingjing
Mark
Mark: They"re clever too, those little bugs. They try flying around my ears to see if I"m awake, and then fly off and hide somewhere if I swat at them.
马克：那些小虫子还很聪明。它们会在我的耳朵边上飞来飞去，看我是否醒着，如果我打它们，它们就会飞走然后藏起来。
Jingjing: Strategic, aren"t they. It"s a blood sport for them, literally.
京晶：很懂策略是不是？对它们来说，这的确也是一场流血运动啊。
Jingjing
Mark
Mark: They seem to evolve to become more intelligent through the summer. This spring, I"m surprised they already have their tricks on. It might be because we had such a warm winter this year.
马克：它们似乎在整个夏天都在发展进化来变得更加聪明。今年春天，我很惊讶他们已经开始有备而来登场了。也许是因为今年冬天太暖和了。
Jingjing: Mark, don"t be so ominous. That"s the lack of sleep talking.
京晶：马克，别那么丧气了，那些都是睡眠不足的气话啦。
Jingjing
Mark
Mark: I need to find a solution, pronto! Have you got any ideas?
马克：我需要找到一个解决办法，立刻马上! 你有什么主意吗?
Jingjing: Well, you"d find quite a few products at supermarkets—
京晶：嗯，你会在超市里发现很多（防蚊灭蚊）产品………
Jingjing
Mark
Mark: Aww, there"s one now. I"m going to go kill it.
马克：啊，那儿就有一个，我要去灭了它。
Jingjing: OK, Mark, we"ll talk later.
京晶：好的，马克，我们回头再聊咯。
Jingjing
Mark
Mark [from far away]: Eww, it was all full of brown blood. I"ll never get that stain off the wall.
马克：（远远地传来声音）咿呀（恶心地感叹声），它身体里满是褐色的血。我永远没法擦掉墙上那个血印子了。

Jingjing: Mark, are you finished hunting mosquitoes?
京晶：马克，打完蚊子了吗？
jingjing
Mark
Mark: I hope so. I got two more. One was above my bedroom door after my wife and her parents went out for a walk. I found another one in the back of my wardrobe.
马克：希望吧。我又逮住两个。太太和她父母出门散步后，卧室门上有一个。然后在衣柜背面又发现了一个。
Jingjing: Those are good hiding places. Hey, why don"t you just get one of those electric things with the chemical tabs.
京晶：那些都是很好的藏身之处。嘿，你为什么不买一个那种带化学药片的电子产品呢?
Jingjing
Mark
Mark: I"ve used those before, and they were pretty effective. Plus, they"re not as toxic as the incense coils. Still, I"d like to keep poison out of the house these years.
马克：我以前用过，而且效果都挺好。而且，它们没有蚊香毒性大。这些年我依旧不想在家里用那些含毒性物质的东西。
Jingjing: I understand. Then, I guess bug spray is out of the question also.
京晶：了解。那么，我想杀虫喷雾也是不可能用了。
Jingjing
Mark
Mark: It is. And, for some reason that old-brand stuff you rub on your skin doesn"t work.
马克：对。而且，不知道什么原因，涂抹在皮肤上的老牌子的东西也不管用了。
Jingjing: Did you buy a new bottle, or are you using the one from last year?
京晶：你是买了一瓶新的，还是用的去年的那瓶?
Jingjing
Mark
Mark: It"s less than half full. So, I guess it"s several months old.
马克：还有少半瓶。我想用了有几个月了。
Jingjing: Once it"s open, it starts to lose its potency. You"d better buy a new bottle.
京晶：瓶子一旦打开，它就开始慢慢失去药效。你最好买一瓶新的。
Jingjing
Mark
Mark: I hope that works.
马克：我希望它能有用。
Jingjing: If it doesn"t, you could get a pet spider, or a house centipede.
京晶：如果还没有效果，你可以在家养一只宠物蜘蛛，或者一只蚰蜒。
Jingjing
Mark
Mark: That"s a pretty off-the-wall suggestion. I"m not a big fan of bugs. So, I wouldn"t bring them into the house by choice.
马克：这个建议太古怪了。我不太喜欢虫子。所以，我不会选择把它们带到家里来。
Jingjing: Yeah, I was just kidding. Well, you could get a net to put over your bed.
京晶：是，我只是开个玩笑。嗯，你可以用张网（蚊帐）罩住你的床。
Jingjing
Mark
Mark: I"ve seen those things. They"re almost like tents.
马克：我见过那东西。他们就像帐篷一样。
Jingjing: I"ve been using the same one for two or three years. It works like a charm.
京晶：我已经用了同款两三年了。这招很管用。
Jingjing
Mark
Mark: Is yours the kind with a frame that goes up from the four corners of your bed?
马克：你那款是那种四个角撑起来框架的吗?
Jingjing: That"s the one. You just have to be careful not to rip the nylon screen. It"s pretty delicate.
京晶：就是那种。你只要小心别把尼龙帘子扯破就行了。它很精致。
Jingjing
Mark
Mark: I"ll look into it. I guess it"s time to do some online shopping.
马克：我去搜索研究一下。我想是时候去网上买买买了。
Jingjing: I"ll leave you to it, Mark. Talk to you next time.
京晶：那你就自己搞定吧，马克。下次再聊。
