公共英语PETS2每日对话练习：aborigine
They go to the sports park to set off the sky lantern
Morley: I know what I'm going to wish for.
Kathy: What's that? A new girlfriend?
Morley: No. That I can be an aikido master like you.
Kathy: Ha-ha. You know, these lanterns were originally used in wars.
Morley: Really? Did they set them off as a signal to attack?
Kathy: No, the Han Chinese in Pinghsi used them to let women and children know that it was safe to go home after an attack by the aborigines.
Morley: No wonder they came to represent peace.

他们到运动公园放天灯
莫理：我知道我要许什么愿了。
卡西：什么?交新女朋友?
莫理：不是。我希望能成为像你一样的合气道高手。
卡西：哈哈。你知道吗，这些天灯一开始是在战争时用的。
莫理：真的?放天灯表示进攻的信号吗?
卡西：不是，平溪的汉人放天灯告知女人及小孩原住民的攻击已经结束，可以平安回家了。
莫理：难怪天灯象征和平。
