P: Here we are out in the great Alaskan wilds, ready to go cross-country skiing!

Y: 阿拉斯加的风景好美，最适合练习越野滑雪!

P: I'm really glad you could join us, too, Doug.

D: Thanks for asking me to come along, Patrick and Yang Chen.

P: I think the three of us should really go over all those safety precautions. First, did you guys let someone know that you were going skiing and where you should be?

Y I told my mom. And my mom doesn't speak English.

D: Uh-huh. I told my all my friends. And they do speak English.

P: Good for you, Doug. This is important in case we get lost.

Y: 我们会迷路?

P: Don't worry. Yang Chen. By the way, did you check your poles and skis .

Y: 我的滑雪杖和滑雪板They are in good shape.

D: And I checked my boots and bindings, too.

P: Great work, team! Does someone in the group have a map?

Y: I have the map!

P: We need extra food and extra drinks.

Y/D: Check!.

P: Yang Chen. What drinks did you bring?

Y: Budweiser.

P: Good. It will keep us warm.

What about clothing?

Y/D: Check!

P:How about the first aid kit?

Y: 急救箱? 我没有。

D: I've got it.

P: Doug is very valuable.

Well, everyone., we should be skating in a group of at least three people. That way if one of us gets hurt, one person can stay with the injured person and the other can go get help.

Y: We are going to get hurt?

P: That's why we invited Doug.

D: Gee thanks, guys.

P: Well, I guess we are ready to go then! Let's go cross country skiing.
