實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話：Daily Routine 日常生活

Eli: At the moment I'm living in Japan and life here is pretty different to anything I've really experienced before. I think just because the daily routine is so different. In England, in England, basically I was really lazy. I'd probably get up at you know 8:30 in the morning. Leave ten minutes later, cause I always brush my teeth at work, eat breakfast at work, get to work for 9 o'clock, come home from work at 5:30, probably lie on the sofa, watch the Simpsons, cook some food, go to bed, and that was the sort of daily routine in England, a very lazy one. I mean, even if I needed to get to the supermarket which was probably what, like 3-400 meters away, I'd get on my scooter to do it. Walking anywhere would be just a massive hassle and so it was a bit of a shock when I got to Japan and all that changed, I mean, the one thing you have to do a lot of in Tokyo is walk. You have to walk everywhere. I mean the train systems are absolutely amazing but you need to walk to get to the train. You need to walk between the trains and like when I first arrived, I walked my feet into the ground. After a week they were aching so badly after two weeks. They were just I don't know, it took me at least a month to like wear my feet in. They're still, still like now, after long walks, but it's just apart from the walking, you just, it's just a business of life here, I mean cause no one actually lives in Tokyo cause it's so expensive.

We all live out sort of in the suburbs in what we call bed towns, and so actually getting into school every morning, I'm studying Japanese here, I have to get up pretty early just to get onto the train, to then travel, commute, an hour in, to get to school on time, which of course I never do. I'm meant to be at school at about nine, which would mean, sort of leaving my house at about 8, getting up at 7. I know this is not shocking for a lot of people, but after the routine I had, it's a pretty shocking experience for me, especially the hour of commuting on the train where you're kept in like sardines, you just would never have in sort of London and London underground in England where I'm from. On the London Undeground if the trains full people wait for the next train. Here if the train is full, people just push and push until they get on so you can end up being stood, never get to sit down, just standing for an hour, like squashed up, like sardines, so by the time you get to school you're totally tired and then there's a school until lunch time and after lunch I always say I'm going to come back and study but I never do I always come back and fall fast asleep.

實(shí)際上我們都住在郊區(qū)，我們把那里叫做衛(wèi)星城，實(shí)際上我每天上午都去學(xué)校，我在這里學(xué)習(xí)日語(yǔ)，我必須要很早起床去趕列車(chē)，然后經(jīng)過(guò)一個(gè)小時(shí)的路程準(zhǔn)時(shí)抵達(dá)學(xué)校，當(dāng)然這是我以前從未做過(guò)的事情，我要在9點(diǎn)左右抵達(dá)學(xué)校，這意味著我要在8點(diǎn)出門(mén)，7點(diǎn)起床。我知道這對(duì)許多人來(lái)說(shuō)并不震驚，但是在我經(jīng)歷過(guò)以前的那些生活以后，這對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)真的是沖擊性的經(jīng)歷，尤其是坐列車(chē)的時(shí)間就要1個(gè)小時(shí)，而且在列車(chē)上人們擠得像沙丁魚(yú)一樣，根本不像英國(guó)倫敦的地鐵那樣。倫敦地鐵的情況是，如果這趟車(chē)坐滿(mǎn)了人，那人們就會(huì)等下趟列車(chē)。可是在東京，如果列車(chē)坐滿(mǎn)了人，人們還是會(huì)繼續(xù)上車(chē)，直到他們都上了車(chē)，所以就只能站在列車(chē)上，沒(méi)有坐位，我要站一個(gè)小時(shí)，被擠得像沙丁魚(yú)一樣，所以在到達(dá)學(xué)校的時(shí)候，你已經(jīng)筋疲力盡了，可是在午飯前還要學(xué)習(xí)，午飯后我總是說(shuō)我要回家學(xué)習(xí)，但其實(shí)我從來(lái)沒(méi)這么做過(guò)，因?yàn)槲一丶乙院蠛芸炀退恕?/p>
