很多书友反映自己的英语听力不太好,所以以后英语君会定期为大家挑选一些新闻做听力练习。练习步骤如下:

Step One. 根据音频记下自己听到的内容 ( 听不懂的话可以反复听几遍,再进行下面的步骤)

Step Two. 对照音频下方的英文文本,看看自己哪里漏听或是没有听出来

Step Three. 点击英文下方的空白处,查看中文翻译

Step Four. 查看最后的重点单词、重点句式解析

So Jess, what do you think of your job? Jessie's biggest find to date is 350,000 pounds. Jessie looks primarily for money leaving the country. She's also trained to find Class A drugs as well. What's not to love about working with a dog every day? She gets excited when I come to work in the morning. And in the end she'll work to her heart's content for me.

那么,杰斯,你觉得你的工作怎么样?迄今为止,杰西最多发现过一笔35万英镑的走私款项。杰西(的工作)主要是寻找走私出境的钱财。她也会接受寻找A类毒品的训练。每天和一只狗一起工作,怎么会不喜欢呢?每天我早晨来上班的时候,她都会很兴奋。她也会全心全意为我工作直到最后一刻。

The benefit of using dogs is they can cover large areas in relatively short space of time. So if you can imagine having to lift every single bag or suitcase and put it through an X-ray machine or use a dog to screen them in a line, the time that's saved is phenomenal really. Generally the handlers that they've worked with take them home. Sometimes just colleagues. I've got two at home that weren't mine. But we always find good homes for them.

借助狗来缉私的好处就是他们可以在比较短的时间内搜索大片区域。所以你可以想象一下,必须把每个包或手提箱拎起来放在X光机器上检查和把箱子排成一排让狗来检查相比,后者是节省出来的时间是非常可观的。一般来说,(这些狗狗退休后)和他们一起工作过的人会把他们带回家,不过有时候他们也只是同事关系。像我家现在就有两只这样的狗,他们不是我的,但是我们会为狗狗们找到一个好归宿。
