VOA慢速英文第13课 Save the Bees!

Professor Bot

We are back with Anna and Caroline and the bees. Last time, Anna was afraid. (Anna: I'm not afraid of bees!) But Caroline is helping her to stay safe. Look at sentences that start with “If” to find more conditional sentences. Remember, Type 1 conditionals use the present tense and “will,” and Type 2 use the past tense and “would.” Now, let's find out what happens with Anna and the bees.

我们又和安娜、卡洛琳还有蜜蜂在一起了。上次安娜很害怕。（安娜：我不怕蜜蜂！）但卡洛琳在帮她保持安全。找以 If 开头的句子，就能找到更多条件句。记住，第一种条件句用现在时和 will，第二种用过去时和 would。现在看看安娜和蜜蜂会怎样。

Caroline

I have a feeling that your fear of bees will be gone soon. There are things beekeepers do to protect ourselves. For example, we wear protective clothing. This is a beekeeper’s veil, suit and gloves. There are other things we can do, too. If I use a smoker, the bees will stay calm.

我有预感，你对蜜蜂的害怕很快就会消失。养蜂人会做一些事来保护自己。比如我们穿防护服。这是养蜂面罩、套装和手套。还有别的办法。如果我用喷烟器，蜜蜂就会保持冷静。
