Marni: Lily, you just got back from Europe.
Lily,你剛從歐洲回來。
Lily: Yeah.
是的
Marni: How did you get around? It seems like you covered a lot of ground. Did you take trains, busses, fly?
你是怎么旅行的?那里似乎各地距離很遠。你是坐火車、巴士還是乘飛機?
Lily: It was a little bit of everything. It just depended on where we were. I actually hitchhiked for the first time while I was there.
每種都有。主要取決于我在哪里。其實第一次我是搭便車的。
Marni: No!
真的嗎。
Lily: Yeah. It was not as scary as I thought it was going to be. But I was kind of embodying the backpacker stereotype. I had the big backpack on, and I was there with my friends, and we all had our thumbs out.
是的,并沒有我想象中那么可怕。我完全就是大眾眼中的背包客形象,。我背著個大背包,和我的朋友一起數著大拇指。
Marni: So, you were just thumbing a ride through Europe?
你整個旅程都這樣嗎?
Lily: Yeah.、
是的。
Marni: Oh, Lily, you have to be so cautious! It’s so scary. You didn’t know these people, right?
喔,Lily,你要小心點。多可怕啊,你不認識這些人。
Lily: Marni, it wasn’t that bad actually. Most people I have found are good at heart, and as long as you take care of yourself and you make sure that you don’t put yourself in a bad situation, and you judge the situation, you can’t really go wrong, I don’t think.
其實Marni,并不是那么可怕。大部分人都很真誠,只要你照顧好自己,不讓自己身處險境,好好審視情況,就不會有大問題。
Marni: Really? Because it seems like you can’t really judge the situation. You don’t know what the driver is thinking. You’re just the passenger. They could look really normal, and yet, they’re just a psychopath!
真的嗎?似乎很難審視當時的情況。你又不知道司機在想什么,你只是個游客。他們可能看起來很正常,但其實是個變態(tài)狂。

Unit7:語法點講解
As long as you take care of yourself and you make sure that you don’t put yourself in a bad situation, and you judge the situation, you can’t really go wrong.
真實條件句
真實條件句主要用于討論一般事實,或是在某種情況下大部分時間為真實的事情。
例:It’s pretty much always true that if it rains, stuff gets wet.
如果下雨,一般東西都會被淋濕。
很容易造真實條件句,因為所有動詞都是現在時。使用兩個從句,第一個if+一般現在時動詞,第二個也用一般現在時動詞。
例:If students miss an exam, the professor fails them.
如果學生錯過了考試,教授會讓他們掛科。
也可以把兩個從句位置調換。
例:The professor fails students if they miss an exam.
這種句式也可以用來在某種情況下給予指示。
例:If I’m (I am) late for dinner, start eating without me.
如果我晚飯來晚了,就不用等我開餐了。
