實戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：流利英語 Good English

Todd: Now, Christian, you're English is amazing. Perfect actually.

Christian，你英語說的真好，簡直太棒了。

Christian: Thank you.

謝謝。

Todd: And many people from Norway have excellent English. What is the secret about Norway?

很多來自挪威的人英語都很棒。到底是有什么秘訣呢?

Christian: I don't know. I actually heard that before that I meet a lot of people and they say,"Oh, you're from Norway.

我不知道。只是之前，我碰到很多人的時候他們都會說，“哦，你來自挪威。”

Norwegian people speak such good English. Why is that?"

挪威人能說得一口流利的英文。這是為什么呢?

Personally I think it's because we get a lot of exposure to English, through TV, music, media, everything, and we don't dub movies and TV programs like they do in many other countries.

我個人覺得是因為我們生長在英語的大環(huán)境下，電視，音樂，媒體，一切的一切都是英文的，而且不同于其他國家，電影以及電視節(jié)目都是沒有配音的。

We get subtitles. And the same with music. English music is very, very popular.

我們有字幕。音樂也是一樣的。英文歌也是非常流行的。

Probably more popular that Norwegian music, and I guess as well the education system provides us with really good, you know, teaching so, I mean all those combined together, you know, creates, how to say.

也許更出名的是挪威樂曲，而且我想校方也提供了相當棒的音樂課，所以我的意思是，所有的這些加起來就造就了我們。恩怎么說呢，你知道的。

Todd: Super speakers!

一流的演說家!

Christian: I don't know super speakers. It's a good combination, I guess in term of learning the language, so, you know, and a lot of Norwegians travel as well and they have time to practice as well, which is important if you want to speak English well.

我不知道什么一流演說家。但這是個很好的融合，我想，單是從學語言方面考慮，很多挪威人出去旅游，同時會有更多的時間說英語，練習英語。如果你想學好英語這一點是很重要的。

Todd: Sure, well, how difficult is it to learn Norwegian?

當然，那學習挪威語會有多難呢?

Christian: That is probably more difficult that English, I'd say, but it's interesting I have a private Japanese student at the moment and he went to Norway on exchange from his university here in Japan

我不得不說那可能會比英語更難，但有趣的是我現在有個日本學生，他從他學校來挪威做交換生。

and he didn't speak a word of Norwegian before he went but he spent the year there, and he now can have a decent conversation with me in Norwegian.

而且他來之前不會說一句挪威語但他在這兒呆了幾年，現在跟很熟練地跟我用挪威語對話了。

That's three years ago since he went there, but still he speaks pretty well.

他來這兒才三年，但挪威語仍然講得很好。
