托德:馬麗恩,你怎么看我們正在經(jīng)歷的冬天?
Marion: The winter at the moment, it's very cold, isn't it, but most of the time it's quite sunny as well. It's dry at least, so I quite like winter days that are sunny like today. I was outside and even though at first it seems quite cold, afterwards, with the sun we kind of warmed up very quickly.
馬麗恩:目前是冬季,天氣非常冷,是吧?不過(guò)大部分時(shí)間都是陽(yáng)光明媚的。至少天氣很干燥,所以我很喜歡像今天這樣的晴朗冬日。在外面的時(shí)候雖然一開(kāi)始非常冷,但是因?yàn)橛刑?yáng),我們很快就會(huì)暖和起來(lái)的。
Todd: Yeah, it was nice today, but winter is not my favorite season. No, I want winter to be over very quickly. But soon spring will be here and spring is good. I like spring, and then summer. I love summer. Summer is my favorite season.
托德:對(duì),今天天氣非常好,不過(guò)冬季并不是我最喜歡的季節(jié)。我希望冬天快點(diǎn)結(jié)束。不過(guò)春天馬上就要到了,春天非常好。我喜歡春天,春天之后就是夏天。我也喜歡夏天。夏天是我最?lèi)?ài)的季節(jié)。
Marion: Really? Even when it's really, really hot?
馬麗恩:真的嗎?即使夏天非常非常熱?
Todd: Oh, I love it! Last year, it was really, really hot and everybody, every day would complain, and say it was so hot, but I loved it. The hotter the better. I think it's very relaxing and it calms me down actually. I feel calm and very relaxed in very hot weather.
托德:哦,我喜歡!去年夏天真的非常非常熱,所有人每天都在抱怨,說(shuō)天氣太熱了,不過(guò)我很喜歡。越熱越好。我認(rèn)為那令人很放松,而且可以讓我平靜下來(lái)。我在非常熱的天氣里會(huì)感到平靜和放松。
Marion: I quite like hot weather as well, but last summer, the summer you are talking about, I had to go on a very crowded train every morning, so when you have a crowded train, and it's very, very hot, it ends up being quite disgusting, piled in against all these sweaty people, so I didn't like last summer for that reason.
馬麗恩:我也很喜歡炎熱的天氣,不過(guò)你剛才談到的夏天,就是去年夏天,我不得不每天早上去坐非常擁擠的火車(chē),而擁擠的火車(chē)?yán)镎娴姆浅7浅?,而且讓人感覺(jué)很惡心,要和滿身是汗的人擠來(lái)擠去,因?yàn)檫@個(gè)理由,我很不喜歡去年夏天。
Todd: Well, what's your favorite season?
托德:嗯,那你最喜歡的季節(jié)是什么?
Marion: Ah, autumn is my favorite season, cause I think, because every autumn I start at school. It always feels like a new beginning, time of year, for me, more so than January. I feel like September is a good time to change things and a good time to start new things, and also the trees are beautiful and the weather is quite mild and nice. How about you? What's your favorite season?
馬麗恩:啊,秋天是我最?lèi)?ài)的季節(jié),我想是因?yàn)槊總€(gè)秋天都是開(kāi)學(xué)的時(shí)候。這讓人感覺(jué)是一年中的新的開(kāi)始,對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō),相比于1月份,秋天才是新的開(kāi)始。我感覺(jué)九月是作出改變的最好時(shí)機(jī),也是開(kāi)始新事物的最好時(shí)機(jī),而且樹(shù)木也很漂亮,天氣溫和又怡人。你呢?你最喜歡的季節(jié)是什么?
Todd: Well, it's probably a tie between summer and fall, for what you just said, I agree. The fall has great weather, the trees are beautiful, it's a good time to be outside. It rarely rains, and I hate the rain and plus, my birthday is in October, and Halloween which is a fun holiday.
托德:嗯,可能是夏天到秋天之間的那個(gè)階段,你剛剛說(shuō)的我很贊同。秋天是非常棒的季節(jié),樹(shù)木很漂亮,是適合外出的好時(shí)節(jié)。秋天很少下雨,我討厭下雨,還有,我的生日在十月,而且有趣的節(jié)日萬(wàn)圣節(jié)也在秋天。
Marion: Right, that's good.
馬麗恩:沒(méi)錯(cuò),那真好。
