公共英语PETS-2每日对话练习(82)

The next day, they all get on a boat to go to Orchid Island
　　 Dan: I heard the government left a lot of nuclear waste here. Have they cleaned it up yet?
　　 Banai: No, not yet. Many people from my tribe have gone to Taipei to pressure the government to do something about it.
　　 Dan: Were you ever part of the protests?
　　 Banai: In 2002, I steered my boat in front of a ship that was trying to bring nuclear waste to the island. We stopped it dead in the water.
　　 Dan: That sounds kind of like being in a battle.
