Hi there Alice. 
你好，Alice。
Now, Neil are you good with maps? 
Neil,你对地图在不在行？
Good with maps? You mean – am I good at reading maps?
地图？你的意思是说我擅长看地图吗？
Yes. Can you find your way to a place you want to go to just by looking at a map.
对，你能只通过看地图就能找到你想去的地方吗？
Well, actually I need a map. Because I used to think I had a great sense of direction but now I have to admit I have a terrible sense of direction. I almost always walk in the wrong direction automatically, so I need a map. 
说实话，我确实需要看地图。因为过去我自以为是一个方向感很好的人，但现在我不得不承认自己的方向感的确很差。我经常不自觉的就走错路了，所以我需要一张地图来指示方向。
You need a map. Well I like to think I’m a fairly good navigator – that’s someone who finds or plots the way.But what if the map is wrong? I once walked around a town for a whole hour using a map I’d downloaded from the internet, and then I realised the map I was using was completely wrong. 
你需要地图来指示方向。我却是一个很好的导航员---一个发现并规划路线的人。但如果地图是错的会怎么样呢？曾经有一次我用一张在网上下载的地图做导向，却在小镇上转了整整一个小时，后来才发现我用的那张地图完全是错的。
Oh dear, it does happen. 
哦，亲爱的，这种事情时有发生。
Yes it does. And in 6 Minute English today, we’ll be hearing about an island that has appeared on maps for several years, but which people now realise has never existed at all! 
确实如此。在今天的六分钟英语中，我们将听到一个关于小岛的故事，这个岛屿在地图上存在了数年之久，但近期人们却发现它从来就不存在。
Aha, this is the famous Sandy Island near Australia.
啊哈，这就是澳大利亚附近著名的桑迪岛。
Yes, it’s all very suspicious! And, Neil, as we’re talking about islands, my question for you today is about a legendary island which is supposed to have sunk into the ocean thousands of years ago. Was it called:a) Pacifica b) Atlantis, or c) Oceana 
没错，这个岛屿确实很可疑！Neil，既然今天我们谈的是岛屿，我的问题就是关于一个传说中的岛屿，它本应该在数千年前就沉入海底了，这个岛屿是：a) 帕西菲卡 b) 亚特兰蒂斯, 还是 c) 奥希阿纳
Well, I will have a think about that and tell you at the end of the programme. 
嗯，让我想一下，在节目最后我告诉你我的答案。
OK, as usual we’ll find out what the answer is at the end.Now let’s hear more about Sandy Island – the island that never was!Maria Seton from the University of Sydney in Australia was on an expedition in the sea between Australia and New Caledonia. 
好的，像往常一样，我们在节目最后揭晓答案。现在我们就进一步了解一下桑迪岛---一个从来就不存在的岛屿来自澳大利亚悉尼大学的Maria Seton进行了一次从澳大利亚到新喀里多尼亚（位于南太平洋）的远征探险。 
We were actually out in the Eastern Coral Sea conducting a scientific research expedition and when we were approaching the area of this supposed island,we saw that our scientific maps showed there was an island there, and yet the navigation charts on board the vessel showed that we had a water depth of 1,400 metres. So that’s where we started getting suspicious. 
我们当时其实是在东部珊瑚海进行科学研究考察，并准备向这个本以为存在的岛屿靠近。我们的科学地图上显示那里有一个岛屿，但我们船上的导航图却显示那里是1400米深的水域。从那起，我们就开始产生了怀疑。
