Customers Trapped by Snowstorm

from News For Kids · host ICRT

Brrr… It's a little cold out there. No snow though. We don't get much snow here, but some places get a lot of it. 台灣不太下雪, 但是有一些地方會下很多! Snow can be pretty, but it can also cause problems! In Denmark recently, some customers were doing some shopping when heavy snow trapped them and staff inside a couple of stores all night! 最近在丹麥,有一些顧客跟員工被大雪困在兩家店裡一整晚! Luckily, they were pretty good stores to get stuck in! One was a furniture store, and the other was a toy store! 好險那兩家店一家賣傢俱,另一家賣玩具。 Those in the furniture store could sleep in any bed they wanted! And getting trapped in a toy store could be pretty fun! 被困在傢俱店的人愛睡哪一張床都可以,另外,被困在玩具店應該也很有趣! In England, a similar thing happened! The snow there trapped customers in a pub! 在英國,有人因為大雪被困在酒館! The pub had a band to play music, they had quizzes and movies, and of course food and drink, too! 酒館裡有現場樂團、還可以看電影、吃吃喝喝! They were stuck for three days! But they had a pretty good time! One lady said she didn't want to leave! 他們在那裡待了三天,但是過得很開心! Nobody wants to be stuck anywhere, but being stuck in a furniture store, a toy store, or a pub is not too bad, right? Which would you prefer to be stuck in? ________________________________ Vocabulary 因為天氣而受困,運氣好的話,可能是有趣的經驗! 1) Furniture 傢俱。 Let's go to a furniture store on Saturday. 我們星期六去傢俱行吧。 What do you need? 你需要什麼? Chairs and a coffee table. 椅子和咖啡桌。 Okay, I know a good furniture store on Spring Road. 好,我知道春天路上一家不錯的傢俱行。 2) Trap 困住。 Look at this rain! We're trapped! 你看這個雨 ! 我們被困住了。 Don't worry. We can wait there. 別擔心,我們可以在那裡等。 3) Store 商店。 See, this is a nice store. 你看,這家店很不錯。 Yeah, I like a store that sells coffee and books. 對啊,我喜歡賣咖啡也賣書的店。 4) Snow 雪。 There's a lot of snow on Jade Mountain! 玉山上有好多雪!
