Steepest Street in the World


Ahh! Finally! I made it…. Wooo!

Climbing mountains is fun, but it is hard work! 爬山好玩也好累! 

While climbing is a lot of fun... I wouldn't want to do it every day!

But, what about people who live on mountains, hills, and steep roads?
住山上或陡坡上 怎麼辦?That must be tiring.

Do any of you live on a steep street? Maybe your school is at the top of a hill? 

你們家或學校在山上嗎? That's tough, but you'll grow up with really strong legs!

那腿一定很強壯! Like… superhero legs!……………. You'll be able

to run faster than a train, ……………. and jump over houses…... and…….

Okay, maybe not… But people who have to climb and walk on hills and steep
roads will still be in good shape. 常常爬坡的人會很健康, right? It's good exercise!

Oh, and did you know there's a new steepest street in the world?

Background voice 1: Where's that?

全世界最陡的街在哪裡? Well, it used to be in a country called New Zealand!
For 32 years they had a street that everyone thought was the steepest in the world!

紐西蘭有最陡的街已經32年了..

But then on the other side of the world, a country called Wales said their
street was even steeper! And it was!
另外一個叫做威爾斯的國家他們說他們的街更陡! 結果是真的!

Background voices: Woooow!!!

Well, if you decide to go to see the steepest street in the world, whatever
you do, don't drop your grocery shopping...

爬坡的時後千萬不要把你買好的水果掉在地上喔....
Aghhh… My groceries! Oh no! 我的番茄! Whoa! And my apples! Watch Out!
………. oweee Sorry!

Ugh! Got my fruit and vegetables back… But… Now I have to
walk all the way back up again. 又要走上去.... Ughhhoooowww!

Gel to help teeth repair themselves


Narrator: Oh no! The dentist! 又要看牙醫了。I hate getting my teeth checked!

It's so painful!

It's my own fault. 我好多顆牙齒都蛀牙了。

I don't take very good care of my teeth.

I like eating sweet things too much! I really enjoy eating cakes and candies.

But eating all these sweet things makes my teeth hurt, because doctors say
too much sweet stuff is bad for teeth.

Also, I don't like to brush my teeth, and I really hate cleaning between my
teeth. 我覺得用牙線好麻煩喔。

But when I don't take care of my teeth, the dentist says they might all fall
out!

醫生幫我補牙也沒用 … The doctor tries to fix the problem, but it doesn't
help …

But guess what I heard?

There are smart people who are making something that might fix my tooth
problems forever!

Some scientists are trying to create a special gel that could help teeth fix
themselves! 很酷吧!

(laughing) It obviously won't help you grow new teeth, it just helps the
teeth you already have.

If this gel can help teeth fix themselves, then I won't have to worry about
going to the doctor!

My bad teeth will just heal all by themselves!

然後我就可以繼續吃糖果跟蛋糕 ... and I will still be fine!

But … scientists are still doing a lot of tests before they can let people
use this special gel.

So it might be a long time before I can use this amazing gel on my own teeth.
Ouch!
So, I guess right now, I should just take better care of myself. I guess I
will go brush my teeth right now.
