We seem to have achieved the impossible: in just a few decades, we've shrunk the world. Today we can travel from continent to continent in a single bound. All of the world is suddenly within reach. Journeys that were once in a life time have become weekly commute. We've done this by taking to the air. Each year across the globe, people take five billion journeys. That's six times more than a generation ago. We've turned the sky into a place to work, rest and play. We are at home in the clouds and right now around the world, a million people are suspended in midair.

Where did you find the vacation house?
Where did you find this vacation house?
电脑回答:
I’m not very sure, but many visitors go there to try their luck. It only costs seven dollars to enter the national park. For most visitors, diamond hunting is a fun activity, but some people take it as a real job. They even buy monthly tickets to go there every day and hunt for diamonds and other valuable rocks with special tools.
2. 提问:租金是多少呢?
考生翻译:
How much was the rent?
What was the rent?
电脑回答:
About 10.000 yuan. It was much cheaper than staying in a hotel. The best thing of staying in the vacation house was that we could do our own cooking. We went to the farmer's market nearby and bought fresh meat and vegetables to make our meals. Also, the owner of the house was very nice. She did the house cleaning twice a week for us. We enjoyed our stay there but we still had some trouble.
3. 提问:有什么麻烦呢?
考生翻译:

What trouble do you have?
电脑回答:
We didn't notice that pets were not allowed. We took our cats along. When the house owner saw the cats, she became angry. She worried that the cats would damage the furniture. We apologized and promised to keep the cats under control. Unluckily, our cats broke a table lamp. We paid 200 yuan for it. That was a good lesson.

视频原文
It was Mary's 6th birthday today. After Brother Tom left for school, Mary found on the table a note from him telling her to find her birthday gift under the lemon tree in the garden. Mary was excited and rushed to get her gift. It was a big box Mary carried it back to the house carefully expecting something lovely. But the moment Mary opened the box, her heart was down. It was a pair of black rubber boots. She put them aside and didn't want to have a second look. A few minutes later, she heard the mailman. Mary thought may be another birthday gift arrived. She wanted to get it immediately. But it was raining heavily. Mary failed to find her own rainboots, so she picked up the rubber boots she got just now. When she tried to put them on, she found the boots were too small. Mary grew angry and threw the boots onto the ground. From one of the boots, a small box fell out. Curiously, Mary picked up the small box and opened it. She saw a beautiful watch in it. Mary smiled. That was exactly what she wanted.
