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

B：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：好像没什么吸引力。

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。那么费用呢？

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：冲浪真的是一个非常便宜的假期。唯一的成本是装备的较高价格，您可以预计每天支付约 30 欧元的费用来购买较高价格的潜水服和冲浪板，但如果您按周租用，则可以节省约 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, too.

B：不。重要的是要确保您获得优质的潜水服，否则您会觉得太冷。还要确保您还获得靴子，它们可以让您的脚保持温暖，穿上它们也更容易冲浪。
