CONRAD: I can't believe I'm actually going to do this.
RICK: You'll have a good time. Duck season is one of my favorite times of the year.
CONRAD: But like I said, in Taiwan it is strictly illegal to have guns. It is illegal.
RICK: I know. I don't think that's reasonable.
People in a free society should have the right to own guns.
In America, it's in our Constitution.
CONRAD: Well, there are a lot of reasons people in Taiwan can't have guns.
I think one of them is that it is so crowded.
RICK: Even so, I think it is the right of citizens to have guns.
Otherwise, only the government has the guns. And the government can oppress you.
CONRAD: Hmm. I see. So will it be cold?
RICK: Yes, it will probably be cold. I only hope it doesn't rain.
And sometimes it gets pretty windy.
CONRAD: You said we aren't going to be walking a lot.
RICK: Oh, no, not at all really.
When you duck hunt, you just sit in the blind. You wait for the ducks to come to you.
CONRAD: What is the "blind"?
RICK: The blind is made of bales of straw. It's for camouflage.
It's kind of like a little wall of straw that you hide behind.
CONRAD: But why would the ducks come?
RICK: Because we put decoys out.
CONRAD: "Decoys"? What are those?
RICK: We put a bunch of artificial ducks on the water. They're called decoys.
The real ducks see them, and then they fly over to join the party. Then we shoot.
CONRAD: Can we eat the ducks we shoot?
RICK: Certainly. When we get back down to Rockford,
I'll clean them and have Betty make us some nice roast duck.
CONRAD: I hope I get a couple.
RICK: Don't worry. You will. But you must be careful. I don't want you to get me.
CONRAD: Oh, I'll be careful. You just have to show me how to use the gun.
康拉德：我不敢相信我要這么做了。
雷克：會很有意思的，野鴨過境時期是一年當中我最喜歡的時候了。
康拉德：但是就像我說的，在臺灣攜帶槍械是非法的。是非法的！
雷克：我知道，我認為那是不合理的。
在自由社會中人民有權配槍。
在美國，憲法有明文規定。
康拉德：在臺灣有很多理由不允許人民配槍。
我想其中一個就是人口太多。
雷克：即使如此，我覺得人民還是有權配槍。
否則只有政府有槍，政府就會壓迫你。
康拉德：唔，也對，那么天氣會很冷嗎？
雷克：可能很冷，我只希望不要下雨就好了。
而且有時候風很大。
康拉德：你說過我們不需要走很多路吧。
雷克：噢，不用。
當你打野鴨時，只要躲在隱蔽處等待野鴨走過來。
康拉德：隱蔽處是什么？
雷克：是用稻草堆做成的遮蔽物，用來掩飾的。
就是用稻草堆起來的一堵小墻，人躲在其后。
康拉德：但是為什么鴨子會過來？
雷克：因為我們放了誘餌。
康拉德：誘餌有哪些？
雷克：我們放一些人造鴨在水上，那就是誘餌，
真的鴨子看到假鴨會飛過來加入他們，然后我們就可以開槍。
康拉德：我們可以吃打死的鴨子嗎？
雷克：當然可以。當我們回到洛克佛城時，我會把鴨子洗一洗，
請貝蒂為我們做美味的烤鴨。
康拉德：但愿我能射到幾只。
雷克： 別擔心，你可以的，但是你一定要小心，我不想被你射中。
康拉德：噢，我會小心的，你只要教我怎么開槍就是了。 |
