Helen

大家好，欢迎收听《》，我是Helen，和我在一起的还有我的同事 Neil。

Neil

Hello, Helen. I saw you looking at a travel magazine earlier, you thinking about a holiday?

Helen

我已经订好了，我马上要去热带雨林探险去了。

Neil

Really, you’ve already booked your adventure to the jungle?

Helen

是啊，正好我也有假期，不用就浪费了。Have you been there?

Neil

No, not to the rainforest, but I have visited Brazil with my friends. It’s a beautiful country. Can you speak Portuguese?

Helen

No, not at all, I was hoping English is enough.

Neil

Erm, if you are visiting the big cities, you can get by with English. But if you're going out of the cities, it’s good to know a bit of Portuguese.

Helen

啊？光说英文还不行。那可怎么办？我没时间学葡萄牙语。

Neil

Don’t worry, you can go on a crash course.

Helen

What course?

Neil

A language crash course! When you’re on a crash course, you learn about something in a very short period of time.

Helen

你说让我去上速成班 crash course？能行吗？我可没太大信心能在很短的时间内学会一门外语。

Neil

I think you’d master the basics without any trouble. Here are a few more examples of crash courses.

Examples

Peter applied to train as a teacher, but he had to complete a compulsory crash course in maths first.

Alison did a crash course in French before her trip to Paris.

I booked Nathan on a video editing crash course, so we’ve got at least one person who can operate the camera.

Julie took a crash course in cooking to prepare for her wedding.

Helen

Can you recommend a Portuguese crash course for me?

Neil

Just have a look online, there are loads of them and some of them are free.

Helen

Perfect! Thanks Neil!
