 经典背诵 Recitation

 

Daniel: I believe in UFOs though I've never seen a real one. Sometimes they appear in my dream which is really interesting. They told me their task is to send aliens from the outer space to the earth. Aliens look just like robots, and I talk with them in English. It's really funny.

Tom: Do you believe in UFOs?

 

Daniel: Of course, they are out there.

 

Tom: But I never saw them.

 

Daniel: Are you stupid? They are called UFOs, so not everybody can see them.

 

Tom: You mean that you can them.

 

Daniel: That's right. I can see them in my dreams.

 

Tom: They come to the earth?

 

Daniel: No. Their task is to send the aliens here from the outer space.

 

Tom: Aliens from the outer space? Do you talk to them? What do they look like?

 

Daniel: OK, OK, one by one, please! They look like robots, but they can speak. Their mission¹ is to make friends with human beings.

 

Tom: That means that you talk to them? In which language?

 

Daniel: Of course in English, they learn English on Mars² too.

 

Tom: Wow. Sounds fantastic!

汤姆：你相信有不明飞行物吗？

 

丹尼尔：当然了，它们就在那儿呢。

 

汤姆：但是我从来就没有看见过啊。

 

丹尼尔：你笨吧你，他们叫做不明飞行物，所以不是每个人都能看到的啊。

 

汤姆：那你的意思就是说你能看见。

 

丹尼尔：对啊，我在梦中看到他们。

 

汤姆：它们要到我们地球上来吗？

 

丹尼尔：不是。它们的任务是把外星人从太空送到地球上来。

 

汤姆：从外太空来的外星人吗？那你和他们说话了吗？它们都长什么样子啊？

 

丹尼尔：好，好，打住，一个一个问好吗？他们看起来就像是机器人，但是他们会说话，他们的使命就是和我们地球人做朋友。

 

汤姆：那就是说你们对话了？用哪种语言呢？

 

丹尼尔：当然是用英语，他们在火星上也学英语的。

 

汤姆：哇噻！听起来太不可思议了。
