實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話：English Travel Tips 英國(guó)旅行小貼士

Todd: Steven, if I go to England, and I can choose between Manchester, and Liverpool, (right) and London (right) those are the only three major cities I know, which one would you say is the best?

托德：史蒂文，我知道的三大城市是曼徹斯特，利物浦和倫敦，如果我去英國(guó)旅游，你認(rèn)為哪個(gè)城市最好?

Steven: Out of those three, well I would have to say London. I've never actually been to Liverpool so I can't comment on Liverpool. I have spent a short time in Manchester before. Uh, I enjoyed Manchester. It's a very lively city. It has lots of good clubs and it has some interesting shopping, there's some interesting shopping in Manchester, uh, there's some good markets, but I've actually lived in London and I feel like my heart is in London. I feel like a Londoner, and London has everything to offer. Again if you, I'm not particularly into clubs but if you're interested in clubbing then there are great clubs. There are some good pubs. Um, it has the theatres, hundreds of cinemas. The architecture is fantastic.

史蒂文：在這三個(gè)城市中我會(huì)選擇倫敦。我從來(lái)沒(méi)去過(guò)利物浦，所以我不能評(píng)論利物浦。我以前在曼徹斯特待過(guò)一段時(shí)間。我很喜歡曼徹斯特。那是一個(gè)充滿活力的城市。那里有許多不錯(cuò)的俱樂(lè)部，而且也有很有意思的購(gòu)物場(chǎng)所，當(dāng)然也有很棒的市場(chǎng)，不過(guò)實(shí)際上我一直生活在倫敦，所以我內(nèi)心更喜歡倫敦。我是倫敦人，倫敦可以提供各種服務(wù)。我不是很喜歡俱樂(lè)部，不過(guò)如果你對(duì)俱樂(lè)部感興趣，那倫敦也有很棒的俱樂(lè)部。有一些不錯(cuò)的俱樂(lè)部。倫敦還有劇院，那里有上百家影院，而且建筑都非常棒。

Todd: Well, what about in London there's many parts, right, so if I do go to London what part of London is the best place to go and stay.

托德：如果我去倫敦，那倫敦最棒的游覽地和住宿地是哪里?

Steven: Um, it depends on what you want to do. If you want to, if you want, if you want to see the sites then well you'd want to, you'd obviously want to stay centrally, I'd have thought. Um, most of the famous landmarks are in the center. However, if you're going to spend some time living in London, and if you want to experience maybe a more, just an ordinary side of London, then you can live a bit further out. I actually lived in the south of London, just below Brixton, maybe you know Brixton. I lived in an area called Strettom, and the atmosphere there is very lively, also very lively. I enjoyed South London. In the past South London had a bad reputation. People didn't think South London was a very nice place to live, but over the last few years the quality of life in South London is improved, has improved a lot. More and more people are moving in to South London and, well, consequently, as a result the prices are going up and up and up, but it's actually a nice, a nice area to live in, in South London I think.

史蒂文：嗯，你要取決于你想做什么事情。如果你想去旅游景點(diǎn)，那我認(rèn)為顯然你要住在中心區(qū)。大部分著名的地標(biāo)性建筑都在中心區(qū)。但是如果你想在倫敦生活一段時(shí)間，想體驗(yàn)倫敦更平常的一面，那你可以住在稍微遠(yuǎn)一些的地方。實(shí)際上我住在倫敦南部，在布里克斯頓南邊，也許你知道布里克斯頓。我住在一個(gè)叫做Strettom的地方，那里的氣氛充滿了活力，一直都很有活力。我很喜歡倫敦南部地區(qū)。以前倫敦南部的名聲不好。人們認(rèn)為倫敦南部不是一個(gè)適合居住的地方，但是過(guò)去一年倫敦南部的生活質(zhì)量有所改善，實(shí)際上改善了很多。越來(lái)越多的人們搬去了倫敦南部，導(dǎo)致那里的物價(jià)不斷上漲，不過(guò)我認(rèn)為倫敦南部真的是一個(gè)適合居住的地方。

Todd: Oh, sounds good. Thanks.

托德：哦，聽(tīng)起來(lái)不錯(cuò)，謝謝。
