2016年ESL之日常生活 05 Being in a Severe Storm

（单词翻译）

ESL Podcast 1186 – Being in a Severe Storm 

Shana: Hey, did you hear that? There’s a severe storm coming. Let’s hope for the best. 

Aecio: Yeah, I hope it doesn’t leave a lot of damage. We haven’t recovered from the aftermath of the last big storm. 

Shana: No, when I said I was hoping for the best, I meant I’m hoping to catch it on film. The weather forecaster says that their radar¹ has detected a big cyclone² forming over this area. 

Aecio: Let me get this straight. You’re hoping for a big storm? 

Shana: Yeah, I’m a storm chaser. I’ve captured lots of tropical storms on film, and even a small tornado³, but never a hurricane or typhoon. 

Aecio: You mean you actually chase after storms? 

Shana: Yeah, it’s fun. I hope one day to be there for a really big one and somehow get into the eye where it’s calm. 

Aecio: You understand that with big storms come strong winds and floods, resulting in the destruction of homes and general chaos⁴. 

Shana: I don’t want anyone to get hurt. I’m just looking for a thrill. 

Aecio: Right, just a little harmless fun!
