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.

工作人員：有什么需要嗎，小伙子?
亞當：我需要租三副今天早上用的滑冰鞋。
工作人員：要什么碼的?
亞當：一雙37碼的，兩雙21碼的。一雙給我，另外兩雙是給兩個小孩的。
工作人員：給你。還有這是三個防護帽。
亞當：謝謝。還有，那兩個小孩是初學者，對于他們的安全問題我應該做些什么呢?
工作人員：這個，有很多事項需要注意，但也不用太擔心。首先，要保證他們不要離護欄太遠。
亞當：哦，是啊，也許我該讓他們只沿著護欄走。
工作人員：那是個好主意，另外還要提醒他們在開始的時候慢一點，別撞到護欄上。
亞當：好的。還有別的嗎?
工作人員：絕對不可以走到湖的中央。那里的冰太薄不能滑。
亞當：知道了。謝謝你提醒我。還有，這里有強化訓練班嗎?
工作人員：是的，有的。哦，對了，你可以把孩子留給那些教練啊。在那里他們可以學習基本動作還可以練習技巧。
亞當：太好了。我能做點什么來預防凍傷呢?
工作人員：是的，你可以把這個軟膏涂在他們的耳朵和嘴唇上用來保護。
亞當：好的。謝謝你，先生。
