維拉:丹尼爾,我們來談?wù)勍暧洃?。你有什么美好的回憶?
Daniel: Well, yeah, I do. I had a great time when I was a kid but definitely my best memory is, well, holidays. When I was a kid in Chile, we used to have a three month summer holiday and it was brilliant because I used to go to the countryside to my great-grandma's house and she had kind of a hostel at that time and it was brilliant because you had people coming in and out all the time, new people. The town was like really, really small and everything was so natural so I got to spend three months every summer in a really nice place doing nothing but playing with my friends all the time, going to the beach every day and like having amazing food. It was too good to be true, seriously. Unfortunately like then I grew older and I couldn't have the three months so I was going like, I don't know, two weeks and stuff like that. And then lately I couldn't go any more so it's shame but at the same time it's a great, it's really good that I got the chance to do it and I got the chance to experience it and I think that's one of my great memories of my childhood.
丹尼爾:有。我小時(shí)候度過了一段非常棒的時(shí)期,那個(gè)假期肯定是我最棒的回憶。我小時(shí)候,智利一般會(huì)放三個(gè)月左右的暑假,那非常棒,因?yàn)槲乙郧敖?jīng)常去我曾祖母位于鄉(xiāng)村的房子,那時(shí)她開了一家招待所,我覺得那非常好,因?yàn)橐恢庇胁煌娜诉M(jìn)出。那座城鎮(zhèn)非常小,一切都非常自然,所以我每年暑假都有三個(gè)月的時(shí)間在一個(gè)很棒的地方度過,而且什么都不用做,就是和朋友們一起玩,我們每天都去海灘,享用美味的食物。說實(shí)話,那有點(diǎn)兒好的令人難以置信。不幸的是,我長(zhǎng)大以后就沒有那三個(gè)月的假期了,我只有兩周左右的假期。后來我就沒時(shí)間再去那里了,這真遺憾,不過同時(shí)我也覺得很幸運(yùn),我有機(jī)會(huì)度過這樣的時(shí)光,我有機(jī)會(huì)經(jīng)歷這種生活,我認(rèn)為這是我孩童時(shí)代最棒的回憶之一。
Vella: So you go there every summer?
維拉:你每年暑假都去?
Daniel: Well, not any more but I used to go there when I was a kid every, pretty much every summer, yeah.
丹尼爾:現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)不去了,不過我小時(shí)候基本上每年暑假都去那里。
Vella: So how did you spend the time? Like what did you do? Did you just play with friends or...?
維拉:那你如何度過你的暑假?你會(huì)做些什么?就和朋友們一起玩還是……?
Daniel: Well, yeah, I used to get up really late every day then I don't know go for a football game with friends then, I don't know, having an amazing lunch. In the afternoon going to the beach, coming back, have dinner and then go out and play again. It was really like the same thing every day but at the same time since I was playing every day it didn't feel like a routine so, I don't know, three months doing that every year was amazing.
丹尼爾:對(duì),我以前每天起得很晚,然后和朋友去踢足球,享用美味的午餐。下午我們會(huì)去海灘,然后回家吃晚飯,吃完晚飯后再出去玩。基本上每天都是這樣度過的,每天都在玩,那其實(shí)并不是日程,每年有三個(gè)月的時(shí)間這樣度過非常棒。
Vella: I mean food and friends, my definition of having fun.
維拉:我對(duì)享受樂趣的定義就是,美食和朋友。
Daniel: Yeah, yeah, it is definitely, yeah.
丹尼爾:對(duì)對(duì),沒錯(cuò),就是這樣。
Vella: So you had three months holiday?
維拉:你有三個(gè)月的假期?
Daniel: Yeah.
丹尼爾:對(duì)。
Vella: Summer holiday? That's pretty long.
維拉:暑假?時(shí)間好長(zhǎng)。
Daniel: Yeah, it's because, well we finish everything in December before Christmas and New Year so you have pretty much the whole of December plus January and February. That's the summer in Chile.
丹尼爾:對(duì),因?yàn)樵谑フQ節(jié)和新年之前,我們會(huì)在12月完成所有的事情,所以12月、1月和2月都是假期。這三個(gè)月是智利的暑假。
Vella: Interesting, summer in December.
維拉:真有意思,12月是夏季。
Daniel: Well, yeah, it is actually.
丹尼爾:嗯,對(duì),沒錯(cuò)。
