本課您將學到：ready to go（時刻準備著），as long as句型

　　非典時代的假期，呆在家里很悶，出門又怕感染，怎么辦？一個安全又健康的休閑方式，融入自然的感受，遠足，有興趣嗎？

　　Hiking is fun and easy to do. All you need is a good pair of shoes and youre ready to go!

　　Hiking is a great way to get some exercise. And hiking brings you to beautiful places where you can spend time relaxing（放松） in nature. You see birds and animals up close, and you can smell the flowers as you walk along the trail（小徑）.

　　A hike can last from just a few hours to several days. On a hike that lasts a few hours, you should bring water and maybe some food. If you want to hike for several days, youll probably need more gear, such as a sleeping bag, a blanket（毯子）, a flashlight（手電）, and matches（火柴）.

　　If you cant get to the mountains, though, dont despair（絕望）. You can also go hiking in the city, in the suburbs（郊區）, or just about anywhere. Many cities have parks where you hike on trails. And even if there are no parks nearby（在附近）, you can always hike on the streets. As long as youre walking, youre hiking!

　 「讀書筆記」

　　hiking是hike的動名詞形式，意思是遠足、徒步旅行，這可是現今非常流行的一種旅行方式哦！

　　遠足很有趣而且簡單易行，你所需要的不過是一雙好鞋，（All you need is a good pair of shoes）一切準備工作就都做好了！（youre ready to go!）

　　ready to go不只可以表示準備出發，對任何事情做好準備（prepared）都可以用這個短語來表達，如：Bush is ready to go without UN.（Bush準備繞過聯合國。）

　　遠足是鍛煉身體的絕佳方法，讓你在美麗的大自然中度過一段輕松的時光。（hiking brings you to beautiful places where you can spend time relaxing in nature）你可以零距離接觸鳥兒和其他動物，（You see birds and animals up close）你還可以在穿過林中小徑時聞聞花香。（you can smell the flowers as you walk along the trail）（想想就美呀，呵呵）

　　close有接近的意思，大家都知道，我要講的是它前面的up ，up在做副詞時有徹底地,完全地意思，如：To my surprise, she drank up the whole bottle of wine.（使我驚奇的是她把一瓶酒全喝了。）所以，這里的up close就是徹底地靠近，相當于零距離接觸了吧！

　　一次徒步旅行可以從幾個小時到幾天，（A hike can last from just a few hours to several days）依據時間的長短，你需要作相應的準備。

　　Last在這里是動詞，意思是持續，如：How long will the meeting last?（會議要開多久?）

　　如果只是幾個小時，你只需帶水和一些食物。（On a hike that lasts a few hours, you should bring water and maybe some food）如果你想旅行幾天，可能就需要準備一些用具，（If you want to hike for several days, youll probably need more gear）如睡袋、毯子、手電、火柴等。（such as a sleeping bag, a blanket, a flashlight, and matches）

　　如果你沒機會進山，沒關系，別喪失希望哦，（dont despair）在城市里，我們一樣可以徒步旅行。你可以去郊外，（in the suburbs）任何地方。（or just about anywhere）

　　about這里是副詞，意思是大約;幾乎 John is about the same age as Tom.（約翰和湯姆的年齡相仿。）

　　許多城市都建有公園，你可以在小樹林中漫步。（Many cities have parks where you hike on trails）就算附近沒有公園，你也可以在大街上溜達，（And even if there are no parks nearby, you can always hike on the streets）其實只要你行走著，你就在徒步旅行。（As long as youre walking, youre hiking!）

　　as long as只要

　　格言必修里曾出現過這樣一句話：

　　A man is not old as long as he is seeking something. A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams （J. Barrymore）

　　只要一個人還有追求，他就沒有老。直到后悔取代了夢想，一個人才算老。（巴里摩爾）

　　所以，奉勸大家，不管你要追求什么，一定堅持到底，別放棄。為了追到女朋友，再肉麻的話也得說：

　　Ill love you as long as I live. 愛你一輩子（愛你千萬年）.
