Vicki: Hello, this is BBC Learning English, I’m Vicki.
Jean: 大家好，我是董征。歡迎收聽 BBC Learning English 為您特別制作的“On the Town” 節(jié)目。
Vicki: And today we’re talking about one of London’s most popular tourist attractions.
Jean: 在倫敦最吸引游客的一個景點(diǎn)，是哪里呢？
Vicki: See if you can guess…..

It’s a big wheel.
It’s a modern structure.
Really big.
It’s made of steel… glass or maybe plastic.
It’s huge.
It’s a big wheel and it looks like an eye ‘cos it’s got a black thing in the middle.
Jean: 嗯，原來是個又大又圓，看上去像個輪子似的東西，不過是用鋼筋和塑膠鑄造的。
Vicki: But where is it and what does it do?

It goes round… slowly. It’s on the river bank, opposite the Houses of Parliament.
It gives visitors to London a good view of the city.
As you go round it’s really fun because you can see everything.
It’s on the embankment of the Thames.
It moves in a circular motion, very slowly
Jean: 而這個建筑就坐落在倫敦泰晤士河畔。“河畔”這個詞在英語里有兩個不同的說法。
Vicki: River bank….and embankment.
Jean: 這個大輪子每天都在緩慢的轉(zhuǎn)動，坐在上面你會看到倫敦很多的景色…
Vicki: You get a good view
Jean: Well Vicki, I think it must be the London Eye!
Vicki: Well done Jean! That’s right, it’s the London Eye.
Jean: 那Vicki，你給我們介紹一下這個London Eye 倫敦巨眼摩天輪好嗎?
Vicki: Well, it’s the 6th tallest structure in London.
Jean: Structure – 建筑物。不光包括房屋大樓，也指像倫敦巨眼摩天輪這樣獨(dú)特的建筑設(shè)計。
Vicki: The top of the London Eye is 135 metres above the river Thames. So you get a great view from the top.
Jean: 天氣好的時候，站在摩天輪上可以看到倫敦的市區(qū)全景，包括這里很多的景點(diǎn)景區(qū)。
Vicki: Yes, you can see many famous London landmarks, like Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, St Paul’s Cathedral and so on.
Jean: 其實(shí)這個巨眼摩天輪看上去很像游樂場里的大轉(zhuǎn)盤，只不過要巨型很多倍了。
Vicki: Yes, it’s like a Ferris wheel at a fairground, but there are some differences.
Jean: 那都有什么不同呢？
Vicki: Well for a start it moves much more slowly than a Ferris wheel. Another difference is that the pods, or capsules are on the outside of the wheel, not hanging underneath.
