高空弹跳Bungee Jumping

SARAH: What's your number?
ALLEN: I'm number seven. What about you?
SARAH: Five.
ALLEN: Hah hah! You have to go before me. Hah hah hah!
SARAH: You think it's funny. I'm terrified¹.
ALLEN: Don't worry. It's safe.
SARAH: But I've never jumped off anything in my life.
The highest thing I've jumped off is my bed. I'm scared.
ALLEN: You are the one who wanted to come here, Sarah. You should enjoy it.
SARAH: I guess I'm adventuresome², but then I'm scared too.
ALLEN: I'm not too scared. But I've done sky diving³ before.
SARAH: Really? When?
ALLEN: I did it about two years ago. In Montana. It was great.
SARAH: Weren't you scared?
ALLEN: Of course. But if you go with an established⁴ company, you're usually safe.
SARAH: Is this bungee company established?
ALLEN: Well, I know it has been in business at least a year.
And only four people have died. 
SARAH: Four people?
ALLEN: I'm just kidding. Don't be so nervous.
SARAH: I don't like jokes like that.
I have heard about real cases where people died bungee jumping.
ALLEN: Yes, I have too. But that was in the beginning of the sport.
Now things are better.
SARAH: I remember one woman died because she lied about her weight.
They set the equipment⁵ for a lighter⁶ person, and she hit the ground.
ALLEN: I've heard about that one too.
That was in a kind of fair, I think. In Florida.
SARAH: I'm glad we're over water here.
ALLEN: Just don't lie about your weight. Or you will come up with fish in your mouth.
SARAH: You are not funny today. Wait! Did he just call number five?
ALLEN: Yes, you're up. Good luck.
SARAH: Oh, my God⁷! I can't believe I'm going to do this.
ALLEN: Catch me a big fish, alright?
SARAH: Shut up, Allen! Just shut up! 
莎拉：你几号？
艾伦：七号，你呢？
莎拉：五号。
艾伦：哈哈！你在我之前，哈哈哈！
莎拉：你觉得好笑吗？我都快吓死了。
艾伦：别焦虑，很安全的。
莎拉：我这一辈子还没跳过任何东西。
最高是从床上跳下来过。我很害怕。
艾伦：是你自己想来的，莎拉，你应该尽情地玩。
莎拉：我是敢冒险，不过我也很害怕。
艾伦：我不太怕，但我以前玩过跳伞。
莎拉：真的啊？什么时候？
艾伦：我两年前跳过。在蒙大拿，很好玩。
莎拉：你不害怕吗？
艾伦：当然害怕。但是如果你去正规的公司，通常很安全。
莎拉：这家公司是正规的吗？
艾伦：我知道它至少有一年的经验了。
而且只死过四个人。
莎拉：四个人？
艾伦：开玩笑的，别那么紧张。
莎拉：我不喜欢开这种玩笑。
我听过真的有人玩高空弹跳死掉的。
艾伦：我也听过，不过是这种活动刚开始的时候。
现在安全多了。
莎拉：我听过一个女人因为谎报体重而摔死。
他们给她体重较轻的人用的绳子，因而导致她撞到地上。
艾伦：我也听过那件事。
我想那是在一个集会上，在佛罗里达州。
莎拉：我很庆幸我们是在水上。
艾伦：只要别谎报体重就行了。否则你的嘴巴会塞满好多鱼。
莎拉：你今天并不幽默。等等，他是不是叫五号？
艾伦：对，该你了，祝你好运。
莎拉：天啊！我不敢相信我要跳了。
艾伦：帮我抓一条鱼，好吗？
莎拉：闭嘴，艾伦！闭上你的嘴！
