最近在研究听力,听写了一下这篇澳洲口音很重的新闻(视频见5楼),很多地方听不出或者不确定,大家有兴趣的帮忙核对和补一下吧 :
A Star Wars stormtrooper's captured the attention of motorists and belay some Perth roads(?). 20-year-old Jacob French is hardly moving at light speed. He's walking to Sydney to raise money for a children's charity.
Not so long ago, in a southern(opic??) not so far away, Jacob French began his quest. It's no intergalactic journey, but daunting nonetheless.
The Star Wars fanatic determined to trek more than 4000 km from Perth to Sydney in full stormtrooper gear.
"I got the idea to walk across Australia just before the Melbourne Marathon. And so I thought if I can do a half marathon, I can probably walk across Australia."
His mission to raise money for the Starlight Foundation, Jacob admits his 10 kilogram costume isn't at all that easy to walk in.
"This sort of starting take a lot of hot hours, near 30 days, I thought it was gonna be rainy, so I’m wearing thermo clothes. "
But it certainly attracts attention.
"A few people pull over and grab photos, a lot of people waving and tooting horns, and I've had a few coppers pull over and just check and make sure I'm alright, safety-wise, and where I am going, what I am doing.
The 20-year-old, who's from Busselton(澳洲地名,总算被我google出来了) will travel through the southwest before heading East, a baggie full of food, water, and clothing on hand.
"This almost going all right until the wheel snapped off, some sort of balancing at the moment, but we'll see (???) I will get it(??)
Jacob hopes to arrive in Sydney by December, with 50,000 dollars for the Starlight Foundation. |
