零起点美语-Being around Nature

Being around Nature

Ruby is trying to get her friend, Tony, to go bird-watching with her. (R=Ruby; T=Tony)
R : You really should get some exercise, Tony. Why don't you come bird-watching with me this weekend?
T : That sounds boring. What's bird-watching all about anyway?
R : Bird watchers study birds in their natural surroundings. It's a great hobby.
T : What's the fun in that?
R : We enjoy listening to different birds sing, looking at them fly and watching how they behave.
T : What else?
R : Well, it's also relaxing to be around nature. And walking in the mountains helps keep you fit.
T : Nothing's more relaxing than watching TV in my air-conditioned room.
R : You're hopeless!
T : And you're birdbrained!

露比正设法说动她的朋友东尼陪她一起去赏鸟。
露比：你真的应该运动一下, 东尼。这个周末你何不和我一起去赏鸟？
东尼：听起来真无聊。赏鸟究竟是什么玩意儿？
露比：赏鸟人士在鸟类栖息的自然环境中观察牠们。是一项不错的休闲活动哦。
东尼：那当中有何乐趣呢？
露比：我们乐于聆听各种鸟鸣、观看牠们飞翔和观察牠们的行为。
东尼：还有什么？
露比：嗯, 投入大自然的怀抱也令人心旷神怡, 还有在山间徒步有助于保持身体健康。
东尼：没有什么事比待在我那有空调的房间看电视更令人心旷神怡的了。
露比：你无可救药！
东尼：而你是鸟脑袋！
