Traveling to a Remote Island
Leandro: When you said you got a plum job working abroad, I thought you were going to Europe or Asia. Where exactly is Hueller Island?
Alysson: It?s in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Here, I?ll show you on the map.
Leandro: Wow, I had no idea you?d be working in such a far-flung place. It?s a bit remote, isn?t it?
Alysson: It is, but it?s also unspoiled and beautiful. I?ve seen photos and it looks like my idea of paradise 1. See? After I get settled, you should come for a visit.
Leandro: It looks a little desolate 2. Is it hard to get to?
Alysson: You would need to take a 19-hour flight from here to the mainland and then a two-day boat ride to reach it.
Leandro: Aren?t you worried about living in such isolation 3? It?s so far from civilization.
Alysson: There are other people living on the island, you know, so it?s not like I wouldn?t see another living soul for days.
Leandro: Oh, I?m glad there?s a community living there. What is the population of Hueller Island?
Alysson: It?s small, which isn?t unusual for an island this size.
Leandro: How small?
Alysson: When I move there, it?ll increase to seven. And if you visit, you?ll make eight.
Leandro: I?ll give the idea of that trip all the consideration it deserves.
Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
- My house had a small backyard,the paradise of children.我那幢房子有一个小后院，那是孩子们玩耍的乐园。
- On a hot day a dip in the sea is sheer paradise.热天洗个海水澡是十分令人惬意的事。
