Y: Hi, 我是Yang Chen.
P:我是Patrick.
(Rowing)
Y:今天天气特别好。我和Patrick正在波多马克河上划船。
P: Hey, Look over there! Aren't those girls members of the Potomac Boat Club?
Y: Let's go say hello to them.
Sarah: "Potomac boat Club is one of the best, kind of feeder programs onto the national team."
Y: 这是波多马克划艇俱乐部成员Sarah. Patrick，Sarah刚才说的feeder programs，你知道是什么意思吗？
P: Feeder program means.........
Y 没错，这个俱乐部已经送了10位选手进国家队了。
她们的教练是Matt Madigan: "Rowing is an expensive sport,. You have to travel. You have to have a car to transfer your boat. The equipment itself runs between 6000 and 12000 dollars for your own shell.."
Y: 他说划艇是一项expensive sport，原来那些设备都要自己买，国家不管啊？
P: They are basically on their own. Luckily for these rowers, a high-tech company called FortuisOne provides them a secure job, steady income and allow them to focus on their training.
Here is team member Ruth Stiver: "having found this job, I can manage both things and have both passions in my life."
Y: Ruth刚才说这份工作满足了both passions in her life. 看来每个人都要有两个passions。
P: 不见得。我只有一个，Crew! Rowing!
Y: Patrick, 咱们今天别回去上班了，继续划船好吗？
P: Lets keep on rowing. Yang Chen.
