Hello everyone and welcome（ 欢迎） to EnglishPod. My name is Marco. And I'm Erika. How are you, Erika? Marco, I'm doing really well. How about you?

  I'm doing great. I'm really excited because today we're talking about travel. That's right. We're going to give you some real English to talk about travel. Exactly（确切地）. English that you would use in everyday（每天的） life that you hear in movies and TV shows.

  English people actually（实际上） use. Exactly. So why don't you tell us a little bit（一点） about this lesson for today? Okay（好）, so today we are going to listen as a husband and wife get ready to go on a trip. Alright（ 好）, that sounds a little bit（一点） complicated（复杂的）. Uh-huh.

  Well, let's look at our two preview（预演） words. Okay, so the first word that we have is road trip. Road trip. Road trip. Road trip. Okay, so road trips are really fun（有趣的） and interesting, right?

  Road trips are great. You get to get in a car with your family and drive on a vacation. Yeah, that was a really fun and they're really popular in North America. Really popular. I've been on a million road trips. Alright, we'll talk about that a little bit later on, but now let's take a look（看） at our second word and it's the cars packed（捆扎）.

  The cars packed. The cars packed. The car is packed. So when your car is packed, it means that... Everything you need is inside（在……之内） the car. Alright, so your bags, your food, everything that you need for your trip.

  Exactly. Perfect（完成式）. Okay, so those were our two preview words and now we are ready to listen to the dialogue for the first time. Okay, this dialogue will be at normal（正常的） speed（速度）. It will be fast, but don't worry（ 担忧） if you don't understand everything. After 10 minutes, we promise（允诺） you will understand everything in this lesson.

  So, are we all（ 全部） ready to go? Yep, I think so. The car is packed. We have munchies and music and the map is in the car. Did you get the camera? Got it.

  Did you fill up the tank（坦克）? Yep, it's all set（设置）. You're sure we're not forgetting anything? I'm sure. We've got all our bases（基础） covered（盖）. Well, let's get going then.

  I love road trips. Do you think we can make a pit（坑） stop? But we've only been on the road for 10 minutes. I know, but I forgot to go to the bathroom before（ 在…之前） we left. Well, she forgot to go to the bathroom. Yeah, I hate it when this happens.

  This happens to me on almost（几乎） every road trip. Okay, great. So now it's time for our language takeaway（外卖食品）. We have three words for our language takeaway today. And the first word is munchies. Munchies.

  Munchies. So munchies are? Snacks（小吃）. Snacks, food. Food, chips（[电子] 芯片）. Chips（[食品] 炸土豆条）, cookies.

  Chocolate bars（酒吧间）. All that good stuff（材料）. I love munchies. And they're really good when you're taking a road trip.
