There’s a brand new Star Trek movie out, and it’s sure to be a summer blockbuster. In Star Trek: Into Darkness, someone or something has launched a major attack on Earth. Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise lead the search for the responsible party and, in the process, settle an old score.

Star Trek has many obsessive fans who love it so much that they dress up as characters and go to conventions. They argue about whether the original TV series was better than the new one, or whether the old movies are better than the new. They are very passionate about all things related to these fictional space travelers. Find out if Jeff and Lily are fans in this movies English lesson.

每个人都经历过这样的事情:你写了一篇很棒的信函、申请或是校刊文章。你感到特别自豪,因为你为它投入了时间和精力,并将自己的很多见解融于其中。你读了又读、改了又改。这也许是你一生中写过的最出彩的文章。你迫不及待地想和你的同事或导师分享。

突然,你的电脑死机了!所有的努力都付诸东流。你可以重写,但绝不会像原来的那样好。你很想大声吼叫或扔东西泄愤。你非常生气,埋怨自己没有把文件备份。

在本节以备份为话题的英语课上,看看玛尼希望自己在电脑死机之前做些什么。

Lily:  I love Star Trek. But the original series. What about you?

Jeff:  Yeah, I know a little bit.

Lily:  Did you hear there’s the new movie coming out? The trailer looks super awesome.

Jeff:  Huh, no, I have not heard that. What’s it called?

Lily:  It’s called “Into Darkness.” I love Star Trek because it’s all about the exploration of the unknown. Meeting strange aliens, and the final frontier. It’s so cool.

Jeff:  Yeah, do you know what this one’s about?

Lily:  I saw the trailer and it looked awesome. There’s a completely blown-out city and Kirk and Spock are just standing there looking really cool.

Jeff:  You know what I like about Star Trek? Just space, astronomy, in general is fascinating. There’s so much unknown stuff out there. There’s so much room for exploration.

Lily:  I think, also, exploration of space and science fiction in general is about hope and creating something new and cutting-edge. Lots of inventions have actually come out of the original Star Trek series. Lots of great inventions.

Jeff:  You don’t say.

Lily:  Yeah.

Jeff:  Cool.

Lily is very excited about Star Trek: Into Darkness. She’s a big fan of Star Trek, especially the original series. She doesn’t know very much about the new movie, except that it involves Spock and Kirk exploring a city that’s been destroyed. She thinks it looks really cool.

Jeff likes Star Trek, too, and he thinks that outer space in general is really cool. He likes the fact that almost everything about space is unknown. Space is really the final frontier, and there’s always something new to explore.

Are you a fan of Star Trek? What do you like about it? If you had the opportunity to go to outer space, would you go?
