得克薩斯州和日本有什么不同？比較一下得克薩斯州和日本的天氣
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: So, Ivan, where are you from?
 
伊凡，你來自哪里？
 
B: I'm from Texas.
 
我來自得克薩斯州。
 
A: Texas!
 
得克薩斯州！
 
B: Yep.
 
沒錯。
 
A: OK, what's the difference between Texas and Japan?
 
嗯，那得州和日本有什么不同？
 
B: Texas is big and Japan is little.
 
得州很大，日本很小。
 
A: Yeah, how about the food?
 
好的，那食物呢？
 
B: The food! In Texas we eat a lot of steak, we eat a lot of meat, a lot of beans, a lot of bad stuff for you, but it tastes good.
 
食物！通常得州會吃牛排類的食物，很多肉類，豆類，還有對你來說很糟的食物，不過味道很不錯。
 
A: Yeah, what kind of food do you prefer?
 
嗯，你喜歡哪種食物？
 
B: You know it's funny. I go back to Texas sometimes and I can't eat that anymore. I'm so used to the lighter meals: the fish and stuff here. Um, what do I like more? Sometimes I like chili, sometimes I like sushi.
 
你知道這很有趣。我有時會回得州去，而我卻不再吃那里的食物了。因為我已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了清淡的飲食：比如日本的魚類和其他食物。嗯，我最喜歡哪類食物？有時我喜歡咖喱，有時我喜歡吃壽司。
 
A: Yeah, how does the weather compare with Texas and Japan?
 
嗯，那要比較一下得州和日本的天氣呢？
 
B: Ah, I'm from Houston, Texas which is in the south and that's just hot, hot, hot. Never had a white Christmas in Houston. The average is about 41, 41 degrees in the summer.
 
嗯，我來自得克薩斯州休斯敦，那里位于南部，所以非常熱，特別的熱。休斯敦的圣誕節(jié)就從沒下過雪。夏季的平均氣溫有41度。
 
A: Whoa!
 
哇！
 
B: Yeah, so it rains a lot more here too. I still can't get used to all the rain.
 
對，而日本夏季雨水豐富。我實在是不能適應(yīng)這里的雨水。
 
A: So, Houston is pretty close to Mexico, right?
 
那休斯敦離墨西哥很近，對嗎？
 
B: Yeah, actually, it's a nine hour drive, well not nine, maybe six. I used to go down there back in high school. Me and my buddies would go. There's no drinking age in Mexico. Beer is about 25 cents or 30 yen over there.
 
對，實際上，開車需要九個小時的時間，嗯，也許不是九個小時，大概六個小時吧。上高中時我曾去過墨西哥。我和我朋友去的。墨西哥對飲酒的年齡沒有限制。那里啤酒只要25美分，也就是30日元。
 
A: Yeah, what do you remember about your trips to Mexico?
 
嗯，你還記得去墨西哥旅行的事嗎？
 
B: Not much, which is why we went. We just went. It was called a border town. Basically they just exist to take care of high school and college kids that want to party for a couple of nights. It's not really nice but it's cheap and it's fun.
 
至于我們?yōu)槭裁匆ツ抢?，我印象不深了。我們?nèi)チ艘粋€邊境小鎮(zhèn)?；旧蟻碚f，那里就是方便照顧高中生和大學(xué)生的地方，這些學(xué)生希望去那里狂歡幾個夜晚。那里不是很好，不過很便宜，而且很有趣。
