Wang Fei: 大家好,歡迎收聽《都市掠影》節(jié)目。我是王飛。
Alice: And I'm Alice. Wang Fei, today we're talking about a very special Christmas tree in London. It's an interactive Christmas tree.
Wang Fei: Interactive Christmas tree, 互動圣誕樹。What is it?
Alice: Well it's also called the Kissing Christmas Tree. Let's hear from Fay who works with this special Christmas tree. Pay attention to two words before you listen. Plinth...
Wang Fei: 底座、平臺。
Alice: And mistletoe...
Wang Fei: Mistletoe 槲寄生,是一種植物的名字。
Fay: Every year, Covent Garden has a big Christmas tree but this year we have the interactive Christmas tree! This tree works by – we get couples, or friends, or whoever, to come up onto the plinth under the mistletoe and we get each of them to hold a bit of mistletoe and when they kiss the tree lights up! It's very magical.
Alice: This Christmas tree is interactive because when two lovers kiss under the mistletoe below the Christmas tree, the tree lights up.
We get each of them to hold a bit of mistletoe and when they kiss the tree lights up! It's very magical.
Fay, staff at Covent Garden
Wang Fei: 當(dāng)情侶在樹下接吻的時候,圣誕樹就會被點(diǎn)亮。真是太浪漫了。But Alice, what's the meaning of kissing under the mistletoe?
Alice: Well kissing under the mistletoe is a Christmas custom. Mistletoe plants have little white berries. And they're thought to be the seeds of love.
Wang Fei: Mistletoe 槲寄生的白色漿果被認(rèn)為是愛情的種子 the seeds of love.
Alice: So kissing under the mistletoe is a symbol of love and romance.
Wang Fei: 所以在槲寄生枝葉下接吻,是一個很浪漫的圣誕風(fēng)俗。Ben 和 Jo 是來自英國 Sheffield 的一對兒年輕人, 他們對這棵互動圣誕樹非常感興趣。
Ben: Yeah, it is interesting, yeah, because I didn't realise that it sent electricity through you to light up the tree. I thought maybe you just stepped on a pressure plate and it switched the tree on.
Jo: We should give it a go. Let's give it a go.
Man: Let's do it. Let's do it.
Alice: Ben is very surprised that it sends electricity through the kissers and lights up the tree.
It is interesting, yeah, because I didn't realise that it sent electricity through you to light up the tree.
Ben from Sheffield
Wang Fei: 通過兩個人的接吻,接通電路,然后點(diǎn)亮樹上的燈。
Alice: So they've decided to give it a go.
Wang Fei: Give it a go! 嘗試一下!
Fay: Right, you use that hand on there and you use that hand on that one. And then kiss towards the front so they can get a good picture.
(People cheering)
Ben: You don't feel any electricity. Obviously kissing my girlfriend is kind of nice.
Jo: It's good. It's like magic.
Alice: Ben says he can't feel any electricity.
Wang Fei: Ben 沒有感覺到電流。因為這棵樹的電流是非常安全的。
Alice: His girlfriend Jo says it's like magic.
Wang Fei: It's like magic. 像魔術(shù)一般。
Alice: There are many people kissing under this Christmas tree every day. Let's hear from more of them.
(kissing sound and laughter)
Fay: That's beautiful!
Man: We have a short (short circuit) already!
(How do you feel?)
Man: Wonderful! If you are in love you always feel wonderful!
Woman: I've never kissed a man before under the mistletoe, so it's special for me!
Alice: The two people we just heard are an old couple in their 50s, and they might be tourists from another country.
Wang Fei: So they would like to take this special opportunity to kiss under the mistletoe.
Alice: Yes, and they had a wonderful romantic kiss under the Christmas tree. The man said if you are in love you always feel wonderful.
Wonderful! If you are in love you always feel wonderful!
