Unit 6 - Bungee Jumping 蹦极-3

SARAH: Is this bungee company established? 莎拉:这家公司是正规的吗?

ALLEN: Well, I know it has been in business at least a year. And only four people have died. 艾伦:我知道它至少有一年的经验了。而且只死过四个人。

SARAH: Four people? 莎拉:四个人?

ALLEN: I'm just kidding. Don't be so nervous. 艾伦:开玩笑的,别那么紧张。

SARAH: I don't like jokes like that. I have heard about real cases where people died bungee jumping. 莎拉:我不喜欢开这种玩笑。我听过真的有人玩高空弹跳死掉的。

ALLEN: Yes, I have too. But that was in the beginning of the sport. Now things are better. 艾伦:我也听过,不过是这种活动刚开始的时候。现在安全多了。

SARAH: I remember one woman died because she lied about her weight. They set the equipment for a lighter person, and she hit the ground. 莎拉:我听过一个女人因为谎报体重而摔死。他们给她体重较轻的人用的绳子,因而导致她撞到地上。
