美語情景對話 第1360期:Super Hero Skills 超級英雄技能亡(1)
Gyri: What are some superhero skills that you would like to have?
格里：你想擁有哪些超級英語的技能？Viyasan: There's lots of different types of skills out there that have my attention but I think the most important skill or the most useful skill for me would be to clone myself. There's an anime, Naruto, and coincidentally we're in Japan as well. In Naruto, you're able to clone yourself and when you clone yourself you're able to still retain all the knowledge that your clone is doing. For example, I could be here doing an interview and my clone could be outside swimming and practicing swimming, and then when my clone disappears, I'll still retain all the knowledge I have from swimming even though I was performing an interview here. I think that would be very useful in learning a lot of different types of things. For example, languages, practicing sports, cooking food, and it would be very efficient with my time and I'd be able to complete everything on my schedule.
維亞森：有許多引起我注意的技能，我認爲最重要的技能或者說最有用的技能是克隆自己。有部動漫《火影忍者》，剛好我們現在就在日本。在《火影忍者》中，可以克隆自己，克隆之後可以保有克隆人所掌握的知識。比如，我在這裏和你談話，而我的克隆人可能在外面游泳，他在練習游泳，當克隆人消失以後，我依然保有游泳技能，即使我在這裏談話。我認爲這非常有用，可以學習很多不同的事物。比如，語言、體育運動或是烹飪美食，這可以節省時間，完成計劃表上的所有內容。Gyri: Multi-tasking.
格里：多任務。
Viyasan: Exactly. Multi-tasking at its finest. That's definitely a superhero power that I would love to have.
維亞森：沒錯。最棒的就是完成多個任務。這絕對是我想擁有的超級英雄能力。Gyri: Mm-hmm.
格里：嗯。Viyasan: What about yourself? What would you like to do?
維亞森：你呢？你想做什麼？Gyri: Oh, I'm not sure. When I was little I always wanted to be able to fly or breathe underwater because I really wanted to be a mermaid when I was little, but I think now maybe just teleportation would be really nice. I wouldn't have to walk everywhere. I'm a little lazy. I wouldn't have to sit on the plane for like ten hours when I visit my family in the states. I hate flying, it's just really boring.
格里：哦，我不確定。我小時候一直希望自己能飛，或是能在水下呼吸，因爲我小時候想成爲美人魚，不過現在我認爲瞬間移動非常棒。我不用步行去各個地方。我有點兒懶。有這種能力的話，我回美國看望家人時，就不用坐在飛機裏10個小時。我討厭坐飛機，那太無聊了。Viyasan: Yeah.
維亞森：對。Gyri: So yeah, definitely teleportation, I think.
格里：所以，我一定要擁有的能力是瞬間移動。Viyasan: Okay, that's a very interesting superhero ability to have.
維亞森：好，這是一個非常有意思的超級英雄能力。Gyri: Yeah.
格里：對。Viyasan: Definitely makes life a lot quicker. You won't have to sit in rush hour either when you're driving home from work.
維亞森：肯定能讓生活節奏更快。下班開車回家時，也不會因爲晚高峯堵在路上。Gyri: Yeah, and I could just teleport to all the different places and countries that I wanted to go to.
格里：對，我可以瞬間移動到我想去的所有國家和地方。Viyasan: Exactly.
維亞森：沒錯。Gyri: Yeah.
格里：嗯。
