1. 喜欢的海洋生物

Becca: I really like octopuses. They’re very intelligent, very smart creatures.

Becca: 我真的很喜欢章鱼。它们非常聪明，是非常聪明的生物。

Neil: I really like dolphins. And I like dolphins for the same reason that you like your octopuses – because they’re very intelligent, they’re very clever.

Neil: 我真的很喜欢海豚。我喜欢海豚，跟你喜欢你的章鱼的原因一样——因为它们非常聪明。

2. 海洋面临的威胁

Becca: There are lots of threats to the oceans right now. So, a threat is a danger, and one of those threats is pollution.

Becca: 现在海洋面临很多威胁。所以，威胁就是一种危险，而其中一个威胁就是污染。

Neil: Yes. And a big problem – a big part of that pollution is single-use plastic. ‘Single-use’ means it’s something that you use just once and then throw it away.

Neil: 是的。而那个污染很大一部分是一次性塑料。“一次性”的意思是，你只用一次就扔掉。

Transcript

Neil Hi Becca. How are you?

Becca I’m well, thank you, Neil. How are you?

Neil I’m very well, thanks. We’re talking about oceans today, and I know you live near the sea. Is that because you like oceans?

Becca Yes, I do live near the seaside and I love oceans.

Neil Well, we’re going to be talking about the ocean in this episode, but people need to know that they can find a worksheet and a transcript to help them understand everything on our website, at bbclearningenglish.com. OK, Becca. So, why do you love the ocean?

Becca Ooh, I love the ocean because it’s very big and in there lives lots of really cool sea creatures.

Neil Yeah. Have you got a favourite sea creature?

Becca Difficult question for me to answer, Neil. I love them all, but I really like octopuses.

Neil Octopuses? Why do you like octopuses?

Becca They’re very intelligent, very smart creatures. And I also really like the way that they move through the water. They swim with their tentacles.

Neil Tentacles? That’s the name for their legs.

Becca Yes. Yeah. And they can use their tentacles to also pick things up, which I think is really cool. There aren’t many sea creatures that can do that.

Neil Do you know what my favourite sea creature is, Becca?

Becca I don’t know, Neil. What is it?

Neil I really like dolphins. And I like dolphins for the same reason that you like your octopuses – because they’re very intelligent, they’re very clever, and they’re very beautiful, I think – very… they’re very pretty to look at. I think they’re much more beautiful than octopuses.

Becca Ooh, hold on now, Neil. I don’t think I agree with you.

Neil Well, it doesn’t matter if you prefer octopuses or dolphins. There’s lots of amazing creatures living in the sea, but there is actually a danger with the oceans. They’re not really in a good condition.

Becca No. There are lots of threats to the oceans right now. So, a threat is a danger, and one of those threats is pollution.

Neil Yeah. Plastic is a real problem, isn’t it? So, the material that lots of bottles are made from that isn’t glass. That plastic ends up in the ocean, and then it’s really bad for the sea creatures.

Becca It is, yeah. I’ve seen lots of videos of sea creatures maybe getting stuck in plastic bottles, and it’s really sad. Pollution and single-use plastic are major, major threats to the ocean.

Neil Yes, there are lots of threats to the ocean. For example, the plastic pollution that you are talking about. Also, the oceans are getting warmer and that’s a real threat because it can cause all kinds of environmental problems.

Becca You’re right, Neil. There are lots of threats to the oceans. Do you do anything to protect the oceans?

Neil Well, I don’t go near the ocean very often, so I don’t do anything directly. But I try not to use single-use plastic. So, single-use plastic is plastic that you use just once and then you throw it away.

Becca So, for example, single-use plastic straws for drinks – in the UK there are lots of places that don’t use those anymore and I think that’s a good way to help protect the oceans. OK. Neil, let’s recap some of the vocabulary that we used in this conversation. We’ll start with my favourite sea creature – that’s an octopus. So, ‘octo-’ means eight and octopuses have eight tentacles, and those are the arms of the octopus.

Neil Or legs.

Becca Or legs, yeah!

Neil We also heard threat. Now, a threat is something that is a danger to something. For example, the oceans getting warmer is a threat to the environment.

Becca And another example of a threat that we mentioned was pollution. And that is the things there that shouldn’t be there. They could be chemicals or rubbish, and pollution is very harmful to whatever lives in that environment.

Neil Yes. And a big problem – a big part of that pollution is single-use plastic. ‘Single-use’ means it’s something that you use just once and then throw it away. That’s it for this episode of Real Easy English, but if you want to test yourself with a worksheet, you can find it on our website at bbclearningenglish.com.

Becca And we’ll be back next week with another episode of Real Easy English. Bye for now.

Neil Goodbye!
