听力原文及翻译

A: Now the only time I went to Ireland, it rained practically every day.

A：我唯一一次去爱尔兰的时候，几乎每天都在下雨。

B: Hmm...Yes, that can be a problem, but you can surf in the rain, you know.

B：嗯……是的，这可能是个问题，但你知道，你可以在雨中冲浪。

A: It doesn't have the same appeal, somehow.

A：它听上去没有什么吸引力。

B: Well, the weather has been fine the last couple of years when I've been there, but actually it tends to rain more in August than in the spring or autumn. September's my favorite month because the water is warmer then.

B：嗯，过去几年我去那里的时候天气都很好，但实际上8月份的降雨量往往比春季或秋季多。9 月是我最喜欢的月份，因为那时水温较高。

A: The only problem is that the kids are back to school then.

A：唯一的问题是孩子们那时要回学校了。

B: I know. But one good thing about Irish summers is that it doesn't get too hot, the average temperature is about 19 degrees, and it usually doesn't go above 25 degrees.

B：我知道。但爱尔兰夏天的一个好处是不会太热，平均气温约为19度，通常不会超过25度。

A: That sounds all right. Now, what about costs?

A：听起来不错。那费用呢？

B: Surfing is a pretty cheap holiday really, the only cost is the higher of equipment. You can expect to pay a daily rate of about €30 for the higher of a wetsuit and board, but you can save about €40 if you hire by the week.

B：冲浪其实非常便宜，唯一的成本是设备成本较高。你需要支付约30欧元的日费才能获得一套更高级的潜水服和冲浪板，但如果按周租用，就可以节省约40欧元。

A: That's not too bad.

A：还不错。

B: No, it's important to make sure you get good quality wetsuits, you all get too cold if you don't. And make sure you also get boots, they keep your feet warm, and it's easier to surf with them on to.

B：对，重要的是要确保你获得优质的潜水服，否则会觉得很冷。还要确保有靴子，让脚保持温暖，穿上它们更容易冲浪。
