Terry: But there haven't been any attacks, right?
Lisa: No, not yet at least. But some things have changed. Our airports are certainly a little more careful.
Terry: That's good. The whole world has changed a lot in the last few years.
Lisa: That's for sure. I almost went to Spain in March for a holiday, but then there were train bombings!
Terry: What a tragedy that was. I sure hope there's an end in sight to this horrible problem.
(续上期)
泰瑞：但到目前为止还没发生任何攻击吧？
莉莎：没有，至少还没有。但有些情况已经改变了。我们的机场的确比较小心了。
泰瑞：那很好。过去几年来全球都发生许多变化。
莉莎：的确。我三月差点去西班牙参加一个节日，结果那边就发生火车爆炸！
泰瑞：那真是一场悲剧。真希望不久之后这个骇人的问题能够结束。
重点解说：
★ That's for sure. 的确没错。
★ tragedy (n.) 悲剧
★ attack (n.) 攻击
★ bombing (n.) 爆炸
★ in sight 视力所及之处，在此指‘可见的将来’，也就是‘不久之后’ | |

Americans got their first taste of ice cream in the 1700s. It was a favorite dessert of George Washington, and records reveal that the president himself purchased a machine for making it. Thomas Jefferson followed suit, having learned how to make the icy treat while in France. He was the first president to serve it at a White House state banquet.
十八世纪，美国人第一次尝到冰淇淋。冰淇淋是乔治·华盛顿总统最喜欢的甜点，根据记载，总统为了要制作冰淇淋，还亲自买了一部机器。曾在法国学过制作冰淇淋的汤玛士·杰佛逊总统也是如此，并且他还成为第一位把冰淇淋端上白宫国宴的总统。 | |
