　　In the old days

　　舊時代

J: Welcome to Backpack. Our show today is about how people live a long time ago. Here's a song about life "Way back then".

歡迎回來朗文少兒英語。今天我們一起看看過去的人們是如何生活的。現在我們先來學習唱一首歌名為“Way back then”的歌。

Singing time: Way back then

唱歌時間：Way back then

J: Now it's your turn to sing the song.

好了，輪到你們來唱咯。

Singing again: Way back then

唱歌時間：Way back then

J: 100 years along time, how did people used to live back then before the telephones, or airplanes, or computers? Let's watch the story and find out.

100年前，在沒有電話，沒有飛機，沒有電腦的時候，人們是如何生活的呢?讓我們先來看一下視頻吧。

You live in a modern world. Computers, telephones, cars, airplanes. But how did people used to live? A long time ago, people wrote letters and books on rolls up paper like these. They're called scrolls. Today, we use computers and the Internet to write to other people. And what's this? It's a telephone. Look how big the telephone was back then. Today our telephones are very small, and we can use them anywhere. Take a look at these cars. They didn't go very fast, and back then very few people have cars. But today lots of people have cars. And cars go very fast. Look at this! It's a airplane. The White Brothers invented the airplane. This pictures are the first airplanes. Today we flight everywhere. We flight from one country to another country. We even fight into space. Before computers, telephones, cars, or airplanes, life is used to be very different.

今天，你們住在一個現代化城市裏，有電腦，電話，汽車和飛機。但是過去的人們又是怎麼生活的呢?很久以前，人們用卷軸來寫信和書。今天，我們通過電腦上網就可以給別人發電子郵件了。這是什麼?這是一個電話，過去的時候非常大。今天我們使用的手機都是很小，而且隨身攜帶。看看這些車子，它們走得不快，而且過去的人們也沒有幾個擁有一輛車。發觀今天，很多人都有車，而且速度很快。看看這個!這是懷特兄弟發明的飛機。這些是第一架飛機的畫面。今天我們世界各處飛，從一個國家飛到另一個國家。我們甚至飛到太空了。從前沒有電腦、電話、汽車和飛機的年代的生活真是很不一樣。

Let's talk

讓我們一起來討論

J: Hi! Life is very different now from the way was in 18-hundreds. How did people used to live? Let's talk about that. Jenny and Grace are here today. Grace, before electricity what did people used to do?

大家好!現在的生活和19世紀時相比有很大的區別。那麼19世紀時的人們是如何生活的呢?今天，我們就一起來探討一下。Jenny和Grace也來到了這裏。Grace，你知道過去沒有電的時候，人們是怎麼做的嗎?

G: Well, before electricity they wouldn't know electric light, so people burning candle and they ran a canle light.

呃...過去沒電的時候，他們還不知道電燈，所以都是點蠟燭照亮的。

J: And back then, they didn't have electricity though, they should cook with fire.

雖然過去的人們不知道電，但他們用火來煮食。

J: And what did people do before a car, a bus or a plane?

過去沒有小汽車，公交車或飛機時，人們出門時怎麼辦?

G: Before there were gasline power, there were horses in carriages. It cost a long time to travel.

在還沒有發現能源之前的年代就有了馬車，但外出需要花費很長的'時間。

J: That's right! We can flight from one country to another in a few hours. But it used to take months to go from one country to another.

對的!現在我們可以幾個小時之內就從一個國家飛到另外一個國家了。過去可能需要花費幾個月的時間才能從一個國家旅行到另一個國家。

J: Yep, and what about telephone?

那電話呢?

J: OK! Tell us about telephone.

對，Jenny，請你來和大家説一下過去的電話吧。

J: Well, in my grandma's house, she has a very old phone and it's really big.

在我奶奶家，就有一個又老又大的電話。

J: That's right! And look at my phone, it's a mobilephone. It's very small. The perfect size in my pocket. Life used to be very different from our grandparents and their grandparents. How did your grandparents live? Well, that's all the time we have today. Thanks for watching! My phone is ringing. I'll see you next time on Backpack.

是啊，你們看看我的電話，是小型的，剛好可以裝進我的口袋裏。我們祖父母和他們祖父母一代的生活都是很不相同的。那麼你的祖父母在過去是怎樣生活的呢?好的，這就是我們今天節目的全部內容。謝謝觀看!噢，我的電話在響。我們下個星期朗文少兒英語節目見吧。
