Mark:   Hey, Jingjing. You wanna come bungee jumping with me and my friends? We’re heading out this afternoon. It’s gonna be so much fun!

马克：嘿，京晶。你想加入我和我的朋友们去蹦极吗？我们今天下午出发，肯定会特别好玩儿的！

Jingjing:  Bungee jumping? I’ll pass. I’ve got acrophobia.

京晶：蹦极？我还是算了吧。我有恐高症。

Mark:  Excuse me? Acro what?

马克：你说什么？恐什么？

Jingjing:  Acrophobia. It means that I’m afraid of heights.

京晶：恐高症。就是说我怕高。

Mark:  Oh, I’ve never heard that before.

马克：哦，我从来没有听说过。

Jingjing:  Do you have any phobias?

京晶：你没有什么恐惧症么？

Mark:  What’s a phobia?

马克：什么是恐惧症？

Jingjing:  It’s a fear of something.

京晶：就是一个你恐惧的东西。

Mark:  Well, let’s see. When I was a young chap, I was scared of the dark.

马克：好吧，让我来想想。当我还是一个小男孩的时候，我很怕黑。

Jingjing:  Scared of the dark eh? There’s a name for that! It’s called nyctophobia.

京晶：怕黑？那个词叫什么来着？哦对了，这叫黑夜恐惧症。

Mark:  Cool, I never knew there were special names for fears.

马克：酷，我从来不知道恐惧还有这么多特殊的名称。

Jingjing:  Yup, psychiatrists often use these words to describe certain characteristics of their patients.

京晶：是啊，精神科医生通常会用这些名称来形容他们病人的某些特征。

Mark:  Are there any other interesting phobias?

马克：还有什么其他有趣的恐惧症吗？

Jingjing:  There’s thousands upon thousands. For example, did you know that people who are scared of trees have dendrophobia?

京晶：那多了去了。比如，你知道有人有大树恐惧症吗？

Mark:  Really? I had no idea. Anyways, I have to get going. It’s almost lunch time and I want to get to the cafeteria early, otherwise I’ll have to wait in a long line.

马克：真的吗？我从没听说过。不过，我得先走了。要到午餐时间了，我想早点儿去食堂，否则我就不得不排很久的队。

jingjing:  Okay, it sounds like you have macrophobia, which is a fear of having to wait for a long time.

京晶：好吧，听起来你像是有等待恐惧症。

Mark:  It’s… true!

马克：还真是……！

Mark:   Hey, Jingjing, you wanna come light some fireworks with me? I have a huge variety. You’ll probably like it.

马克：嘿，京晶，你要来和我一起放烟花吗？我有好多品种，估计你会喜欢的。

Jingjing:  Geez, you just love playing with fire, don’t you? Every year you wanna set off fireworks with me. I’d say you’re a pyromaniac.

京晶：天啊，你这么喜欢玩火啊？每年你都叫我一起放烟花。要我说你就是个纵火狂。

Mark:  Hey! Just because I like to set off fireworks doesn’t mean I’m a pyro. Besides, what’s wrong with lighting fireworks?

马克：嘿！就因为我喜欢放烟花并不意味着我是一个纵火狂啊。况且，爱放烟花有什么不对的？

Jingjing:  Nothing… It’s just that I have pyrophobia. I don’t like fire. In fact, I’m quite afraid of it. When I was younger my neighbor’s house caught on fire. No one was injured, thankfully. But I will never forget how scared I was.

京晶：没什么……只是我有恐火症。我不喜欢火。或者应该说，我害怕火。小的时候我邻居家着火了。谢天谢地没有人受伤，但是，我永远都不会忘记当时我有多么害怕。

Mark:  Oh, I understand.

马克：哦，那我明白了。

Jingjing:  Anyways, when you’re done lighting off the fireworks, you can come over to my house. I got a new dog! He’s so cute!

京晶：不说这个了，你放完烟花来我家吧。我新养了一条狗！特别可爱！

Mark:  That’s okay. I have cynophobia. I was bitten by a dog when I was younger. Ever since then I’ve been really scared of them.

马克：还是别了，我有恐狗症。我小时候被狗咬伤过，从那时起我就一直很害怕狗。

Jingjing:  Oh, that’s too bad. The only creature I’m afraid of is a snake. That means I have ophidiophobia.

京晶：噢，这太糟糕了。我唯一怕的生物就是蛇，也就是说我有恐蛇症。

Mark:  Well, I gotta get back to work. Even though I have ergophobia, I have to make money, so I’ll talk to you later.

马克：好吧，我得回去工作了。即使我有工作恐惧症，我还是得要赚钱啊，所以回头聊吧。

Jingjing:  Peace!

京晶：嗯，回见！
