Todd: Mm. OK. What's Montreal like?
好的,蒙特利爾市是什么樣子的?
Ann: Montreal is a really nice city. It's just very cold in the wintertime. It is..uh, it has four seasons, and the nicest season is the summertime because it's really warm and people play a lot of sports, and there are some parks in Montreal, and you can go swimming and hiking and biking and rollerblading. It's a very interesing city.
蒙特利爾市是一個很好的城市。只是那里冬天很冷。那里一年分為四個季節(jié),最棒的季節(jié)是夏天,因為夏天很溫暖,人們會出來運動,蒙特利爾有許多公園,你可以游泳,徒步游玩,騎自行車或滑旱冰。蒙特利爾市一個有趣的城市。

我在蒙特利爾出生,我能說兩種語言。英語是我的第一語言,但我在高中還學了法語。

法語是你的輔修課程嗎,還是主課?

不,我上的是一所英語教學高中,但蒙特利爾有很多都是浸入式教育。
Todd: OK. Since you learned French, what do you think is the best way to learn language?
好的,你學了法語后,你覺得學習英語最好的方法是什么?
Ann: I think that you have to like learning another language and if you have a possitive attitude then you can find learning another language fun rather than stressful so I think that I had a few French friends and we would practice and they would be very patient and I liked the fact that I couldcommunicate using another language cause then you have another identity.
我想你一定很喜歡學習其他語言,如果用積極的態(tài)度去面對其他語言,就會覺得其他語言很有趣而不會覺得壓力大,因此我認為我有一些說法語的朋友,我們一起練習語言,他們很有耐心,我很喜歡能夠用另一種語言交流,感覺有了另外一種身份。
Todd: You have your French identity?
感覺有了法國人的身份?
Ann: I do.
是的。
Todd: OK. So what's your name in French?
好的,那么你的法語名字叫什么?

我們去過加利福尼亞州,有時會去墨西哥。在我還住在懷俄明州的時候,有一次我們在一個周末內開車從懷俄明州,穿過科羅拉多州,新墨西哥州,墨西哥再回到懷俄明州。
Todd: Wow! Well, actually for people who are not familiar with the United States how far is that?
哇!有些人可能并不了解美國,這條路有多遠?

這是一條很長的旅程。我不知道,大概單程花了15個小時。

哇!
Tim: So, thirty hours all together. But it was fun. We drove down to Mexico, had a good night a good meal, a little bit of drinks and drove back the next day.
總共30小時的車程。但很有趣。我們開車到墨西哥,吃了頓好的,喝了點兒酒,睡了個好覺,第二天又開回來了。

好的,你開的什么車?你們自駕游開的是什么車?
Tim: Well, typical American, uh a four-wheel drive vehicle, big vehicle...lots of gas but a lot of fun.
典型的美國貨,四輪驅動汽車,大型車,耗油量大,但是很好的車。
Todd: Oh man, you're from Oregon, you're supposed to be a tree-hugger!
老兄,你來自俄勒岡州,你本應該是個環(huán)境保護主義者!
Tim: I know. I know. But there're good. One rule we had on our road trips was any, any lake or big body of water we had to stop and swim in. It was a good thing to do.
我知道。但那車真的很好。自駕游有一條規(guī)則就是,遇到湖泊或是積水很深的地方我們一定會停車,在水里游一會兒。這么做感覺很棒。
Todd: Well, you live in Japan now. Do you ever do road trips in Japan?
你現(xiàn)在生活在日本。你在日本自駕游過嗎?
Tim: I took a road trip from Niigata up around Hokkaido and back, so it was a long road trip actually.
我曾駕車從新瀉(日本本州島中北岸港市)出發(fā),到達北海道折返,那實際上也是一次長途自駕游。
Todd: OK. Wow! What's the difference between a road trip in Japan and a road trip in America?
好的。哇!在日本自駕游和在美國自駕游的區(qū)別是什么?
Tim: Well, a road trip in Japan..it's a little bit more dificult to get around, it's a little bit more expensive, ah, in America road triping is sort of, something a lot of people do.
在日本自駕游行動有些不自如,我還需要更多的經(jīng)驗。在美國自駕游就很常見,因為很多人都這么做。
Todd: Yeah!
好的!
Tim: And in Japan, when we do that it is a little bit strange, a little bit different, not not very normal.
另外,在日本自駕游有一點奇怪,有一點不同,自駕游在日本還不是很常見。
Todd: Yeah, that's true. OK. Great, thanks a lot Tim.
是的,事實正是如此。好的,謝謝你蒂姆。
Tim: Alright.
好的。
