中英文稿：
Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.I'm Rob … and … is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Super-Finn!
大家好，歡迎收聽六分鐘英語節目。我是Rob。咦，這是什麼？飛鳥還是飛機？不，這是超級版的Finn。
Hello Rob – it's just Finn here actually – I'm no superhero!
你好Rob，這是只是普通版的Finn, 才不是什麼超級英雄！
That's a shame. So you don't have any special superpowers – amazing skills and abilities that can be used for saving people and fighting against evil?
真可惜。你什麼超能力都沒有麼？任何拯救弱者或者打擊黑暗勢力的酷炫技能都不具備麼？
Well, lots of powers, but no superpowers. I'm afraid not. Superheroes, of course, tend to be fictional characters – they're made-up characters, who appear in comics and books and movies.
恩，沒有超能力只有一般般的能力啦。恐怕不是吧。超級英雄，通常都是虛構的，他們出現在漫畫、書籍或電影裡。
You mean characters like Batman, Spiderman and Wonder Woman. Do you have a favourite?
你指的是蝙蝠俠、蜘蛛俠、神奇女俠之類的吧。他們中有你的最愛麼？
I do actually. Spiderman was my favourite when I was growing up. And he can climb up walls and I really wanted to do the same – I tried to climb up the walls in my house and sadly I failed because superheroes are fictional – they aren't real!
當然，我年少時最愛蜘蛛俠。他可以翻牆越嶺，我也想那樣。我試著爬家裡的牆卻沒能成功，唉，超級英雄都是虛構的，現實裡不會存在。
Well some real-life superheroes do exist and that's what we'll be talking about today and we'll be explaining some words related to superheroes. But first a question …
其實，現實生活中也有超級英雄，今天我們就來談談。今天還會介紹一些關於超級英語的詞語。先來問題：
Can I use my superpowers to answer this one?
我能用我的超能力回答嗎？
You can try. What year did Superman first appear published in a comic book?a) 1930b) 1934c) 1938
不妨一試。超人第一次出現在漫畫書是哪一年？a）1930年b）1934年c）1938年
My spidey sense tells me it's 1934.
我作為蜘蛛俠的超能力告訴我是1934年。
I'll tell you if you're right or wrong at the end of the programme. Now let's find out more about some real-life superheroes. These are people who don't really have superpowers but they are doing something extraordinary.
在本期節目的最後會揭曉答案。現在，我們來探尋一下現實中的超級英雄吧。他們沒有超能力，卻有些超人作為。
So they are doing something special – but most importantly, they are doing something good.
他們與眾不同，但更可貴的是他們傳遞了正能量。
People often describe someone who has done something brave, such as saving someone's life, as a hero. Firefighters are sometimes described as heroes because they often risk their lives to save others.
人們口中的英雄，大多是能夠挺身而出拯救他人於危難之中的人。消防員竟然被稱頌為英雄，正是因為他們常常冒著生命危險去拯救他人。
But heroes don't have to be life-savers. We sometimes describe a person with great intelligence or amazing abilities as 』our hero' –a musician maybe or an athlete. It's someone we admire and look up to.
英雄並不僅僅指可以拯救他人的人。有時候「我們的英雄」是一些有特殊才能和技藝的人，比方說音樂家或者運動員。我們常常崇拜他們。
Well there's a man in Japan who's recently been described as a 』superhero'. To be honest, I don't think his powers are superhuman – that means a power that ordinary humans don't have –but what he does is rather unusual and he gives up his free time doing it.
最近在日本，有一個人被大家稱頌為「超級英雄」。實話說，我認為他應該不是有超能力的超人。只是他某些犧牲了自己的時間去做了一些與眾不同的事。
Tell me more Rob.
繼續講，Rob。
This is Chibatman – named after the city of Chiba where he comes from. His mission – his purpose – is to make the people of the city happy.
這就是「千葉市蝙蝠俠」，因為他來自千葉市所以人們這樣稱呼他。這位蝙蝠俠的任務，或者說目標，就是讓市民開心。
That's a worthwhile mission.
這可是一個崇高的使命啊。
It is. Chibatman has been spotted 』flying' through the streets of Chiba dressed a bit like Batman and riding his custom-built three-wheeled Chibatpod. But why? Is he just a bit crazy or does he have honourable intentions?
是啊，他穿成蝙蝠俠的樣子「飛」過千葉市的大街小道，騎著他的定製三輪蝙蝠摩托。他為什麼這樣啊？是因為他有點瘋還是因為他另有深意？
You mean does he genuinely want to do good things and make things better?
你指的是他其實是想傳遞正能量麼？
Well, listen to what he says, speaking through a translator, and see if you can hear what his reasons are …
通過翻譯來聽聽他怎麼說的吧。也許你能找到答案。
【』Chibatman' – Chiba superhero】I started doing this around three years ago. As for my reasons: during the great earthquake people forgot how to smile.I wanted to help bring the smile back and that's why I started.
【千葉市蝙蝠俠——千葉的超級英雄】我從三年前開始這樣。為什麼這麼做？因為自從大地震之後，人們臉上看不見笑容。我想讓大家重開笑顏，僅此而已。
OK, so because of the devastation caused by the earthquake and tsunami in 2011,he felt people had forgotten how to smile. So his mission was to get people smiling again. That's something we could describe as being 』honourable'.
恩，原來是因為2011年的地震海嘯帶來的傷痛。他覺得人們忘記了如何去笑。所以他的任務就是讓人們開心起來。這就是我們所謂的高尚吧。
What is interesting about him and other superheroes is they keep their identity closely-guarded –nobody knows who the real man in the costume is.
很有趣的是，人們也為他的身份保密，誰也不知道蝙蝠俠的衣服下是誰。
That's also true for another Japanese man who's been called a superhero. Mr Full Moon wears a costume to hide his identity when he goes around cleaning the streets of Tokyo.
這樣的超級英雄在日本還有一個。「滿月先生」打掃東京接頭時也帶著頭套以隱藏自己的身份。
Yes, he actually talks to people through a voice on his smartphone.He hasn't been employed by anyone to do this -– he just claims he wants to keep the city's streets cleaner. We could call him a grime fighter armed with a dustpan and brush!
恩，他還通過手機裡的聲音與他人對話。沒人僱傭他，他只能單純的想讓東京更乾淨。我們可以稱他為用簸箕和掃帚戰鬥的污垢戰士！
Very good – a 』grime fighter' – someone fighting dirt and dust!
非常好，污垢戰士！與塵埃和污垢作戰。
Anyway, time now to see if your superpowers helped you answer today's question correctly.
好吧，時間到啦，來看看你的超能力有沒有幫助到你回答對今天的問題。
Yes Rob, you asked me what year Superman first appeared in a comic book.
好的，你剛才問我超人最早哪一年出現在漫畫裡。
And you said 1934 and you were wrong. Superman first appeared in Action Comics #1 in June 1938. The character was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and originally he wasn't a hero but a villain –the bad guy – but he was changed into a hero before he was published in the comic.Well, that brings us to the end of today's 6 Minute English.We hope you've enjoyed today's programme. Please join us again soon. Bye.
你說是1934年，很抱歉你猜錯了。超人最早出現在漫畫裡是1938年。超人角色是由Jerry Siegel和Joe Shuster所創，最早他並不是英雄，而是惡棍。但在漫畫出版的時候，他的設定被改成英雄。今天BBC六分鐘英語就到這裡了。感謝您的厚愛，下次再見。
Bye.
再見。
