Clerk: What can I do for you, young man?
Adam: I need to rent three pairs of skates for the morning.
Clerk: What sizes do you need?
Adam: One pair of 37, and two pairs of 21. One for me, and the other two for two kids.
Clerk: Here you are. And here are three crash helmets.
Adam: Thanks. Well, those two kids are beginners. What should I do about their safety?
Clerk: Well, there are a lot to do, but nothing to worry about. First, make sure they don’t go far from the railings.
Adam: Oh, yeah, maybe I should ask them just to walk along the railings.
Clerk: That’s a good idea. And remind them to be slow at the beginning, not to run into the railings.
Adam: OK. Anything else?
Clerk: Never go to the center of the lake. The ice there is too thin to skate on.
Adam: Got it. Thanks for reminding me. And, are there any intensive training courses?
Clerk: Yes, there is. Oh, yeah, you can just leave the kids to the trainers. There they can learn the basics and practice their skills.
Adam: Great. Is there anything that I should do about the frostbite?
Clerk: Yes, you can apply this ointment on their ears and lips for protection.
Adam: All right. Thank you, sir.

工作人员:有什么需要吗,小伙子?
亚当:我需要租三副今天早上用的滑冰鞋。
工作人员:要什么码的?
亚当:一双37码的,两双21码的。一双给我,另外两双是给两个小孩的。
工作人员:给你。还有这是三个防护帽。
亚当:谢谢。还有,那两个小孩是初学者,对于他们的安全问题我应该做些什么呢?
工作人员:这个,有很多事项需要注意,但也不用太担心。首先,要保证他们不要离护栏太远。
亚当:哦,是啊,也许我该让他们只沿着护栏走。
工作人员:那是个好主意,另外还要提醒他们在开始的时候慢一点,别撞到护栏上。
亚当:好的。还有别的吗?
工作人员:绝对不可以走到湖的中央。那里的冰太薄不能滑。
亚当:知道了。谢谢你提醒我。还有,这里有强化训练班吗?
工作人员:是的,有的。哦,对了,你可以把孩子留给那些教练啊。在那里他们可以学习基本动作还可以练习技巧。
亚当:太好了。我能做点什么来预防冻伤呢?
工作人员:是的,你可以把这个软膏涂在他们的耳朵和嘴唇上用来保护。
亚当:好的。谢谢你,先生。
