After hearing Jay"S words about diving in Australia, she would like to give it a try. But Jay tells her that it is impossible to dive anytime she wants.
埃伦听了杰伊的介绍之后非常想去尝试一下潜水,但是杰伊告诉她并不是任何时候都可以潜水的。
Ellen:Can we dive in Australia anywhere anytime we want?
埃伦:我们在澳大利亚能随时随地去潜水吗?
Jay:Absolutely not. Australia is such a huge country that it makes it hard to give accurate overall information about the conditions since it changes drastically from one destination to the other.
杰伊:当然不行。澳大利亚国家很大,各地之间的水文状况急剧变化,这样就不能掌握所有约水文清况。
Ellen:Do we have to take other things into consideration?
埃伦:我们潜水需要考虑很多事情吗?
Jay:Yes. There are a lot of things you need to consider including air temperature, average water temperature, average visibility, current and depth.
杰伊:是的。很多事情都需要考虑,其中包括气温、平均水温、平均能见度、水流状况和水深。
Ellen:That is a tough work. What is the suitable average water temperature?
埃伦:真的是很麻烦啊。那最适宜潜水的平均水温是多少?
Jay:The average water temperature ranges from 20℃to 31℃ year round. In the south, during Winter, the water can get chilly!
杰伊:全年的平均水温是20到31度,南部冬天时节水会变得刺骨得凉!
Ellen:What about the average visibility?
埃伦:那平均能见度呢?
Jay:You can expect 15 to 20 meters on the local dive sites and up to 50 meters if you go on the offshore dive sites.
杰伊:岸边的能见度大约是15到20米,如果离岸边再远点的话大约是50米。
