Hiking around Kilauea later that day
Jun: Oh my god! The ground is growing red! Is that lava?
Lisa: Yes. This is the world's most active volcano! It's been erupting for twenty years now.
Jun: It's beautiful. But it smells awful.
Lisa: You know all the Hawaiian islands are volcanic, right?
Jun: Of course. I want to take some of this lava home with me.
Lisa: I think you can do that. But ask Pele's permission first.
Jun: The Brazilian soccer player?
Lisa: No, the Hawaiian volcano goddess. Kilauea is her home!
正確答案:
小君:喔,我的天!土地變成紅色的了!這就是火山熔巖嗎?
莉莎:是的。這是世界上最活躍的活火山!二十年來這個火山不斷地爆發。
小君:好漂亮。但是味道很難聞。
莉莎:你知道所有夏威夷島嶼都是火山島,對吧?
小君:當然啰。我想要把一些火山熔巖帶回家。
莉莎:我想你可以這么做。但是先征求裴蕾的允許吧。
小君:那是巴西的足球員嗎?
莉莎:不是,是夏威夷的火山女神。基勞亞是她的家!
重點解說:
★ lava (n.) 火山熔巖
★ volcano (n.) 火山,volcanic (a.) 火山的
★ erupt (v.) 爆發
★ permission (n.) 允許
★ soccer player 足球員。 巴西足球員比利(Pele)是最年輕的冠軍球員,曾三次代表冠軍隊出賽,所以對話中莉莎提到Pele,小君以為是足球員
