地道美語聽力播客755: 描述距離（雙語）

Sandra: Where will we be staying when we visit Trumanville? 
桑德拉：我們參觀朱曼維爾時住在哪兒？
Roger: We’ll be staying in a neighborhood on the outskirts of the town, but a stone’s throw from some of the major sites we’ll want to see. 
羅格：我們會住在城鎮(zhèn)郊區(qū)的一個鄰居家里，但是離我們想要看的景點很近。
Sandra: I hope there’ll be a lot of taxis around. You know I hate to walk. 
桑德拉：希望周圍有很多出租車，你知道我討厭步行。
Roger: Trumanville is a very walkable city and we’ll be within walking distance to everything. We’ll be able to go nearly everywhere on foot. 
羅格：朱曼維爾是個適于步行的城市，步行就能到達(dá)各個地方。我們可以步行去任何地方。
Sandra: I told you. I hate to walk. At least we’ll be within close proximity to the beach. 
桑德拉：已經(jīng)告訴你了，我討厭步行。至少我們離海灘很近。
Roger: Actually, the areas near the beach are too expensive, and we can’t afford it. And plus, the beach is in a remote part of town, and staying there would mean being in the boonies for our entire trip. 
羅格：實際上，靠近海灘的地區(qū)都很昂貴，我們負(fù)擔(dān)不起。此外，海灘在城鎮(zhèn)的偏遠(yuǎn)地區(qū)，待在那兒也就意味著我們整個旅行就待在荒郊野地了。
Sandra: But we could take taxis. 
桑德拉：但是我們可以乘坐出租車。
Roger: Taking taxis everywhere would be really expensive. 
羅格：乘坐出租車到達(dá)任何地方都會很昂貴。
Sandra: Tell me that we’ll at least be in the vicinity of good shopping areas. 
桑德拉：至少告訴我：我們離購物區(qū)很近吧。
Roger: It might be a bit of a hike to the shops, but it won’t be too onerous to walk. 
羅格：也許需要稍稍長途步行到商店，但是步行去不會很難。
Sandra: Read my lips. I don’t want to walk everywhere. Maybe we can rent a car or hire a driver. 
桑德拉：看我的嘴型，我不想步行去任何地方。也許我們可以租一輛汽車或者雇一個司機(jī)。
Roger: Are you out of your mind?! This is supposed to be a budget vacation, not a luxury trip. I’m not made of money, you know. 
羅格：你瘋了嗎？這是次有預(yù)算的旅行，不是奢華的旅行。你知道我沒有那么多錢。
Sandra: And I didn’t know you were such a cheapskate! 
桑德拉：過去不知道你是這個吝嗇鬼。
