實戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：City to City 城市

Ruth: So, Akane, you're from Canada, right?

魯斯：茜，你來自加拿大，對吧?

Akane: That's right.

茜：沒錯。

Ruth: Tell me about where you live.

魯斯：跟我說說你住的地方。

Akane: Well, I grew up in Toronto, and it's quite a big city. In the greater Toronto area, there's about, I think3 1/2 million people just now and it's very multicultural and that's one of the things that I really like about Toronto is that there're many different people from many different countries.

茜：我在多倫多長大，那是一個非常大的城市。我想現(xiàn)在大多倫多地區(qū)有350萬人口，而且那是擁有多元文化的城市，這也是我喜歡多倫多的一點，因為有許多來自不同國家的人。

Ruth: And do you live in Toronto now?

魯斯：那你現(xiàn)在還住在多倫多嗎?

Akane: No, actually, I haven't lived there for a year now I think, almost, actually more than that, because I've been travelling and working and what not.

茜：實際上不住了，我想我離開那里有一年了，可能比一年的時間還長，因為我一直在四處旅行、工作。

Ruth: Oh, right. What's your job?

魯斯：哦，好。你做什么工作?

Akane: I'm actually a teacher.

茜：實際上我是一名老師。

Ruth: Do you teach children or adults?

魯斯：你是教孩子還是教成年人?

Akane: Usually I do. I am mostly trained to teach younger children, but recently I've begun teaching older students, or young adults, and I quite enjoy it actually.

茜：通常是這樣，我接受的培訓主要針對教育小孩子，但是近來我開始教年齡大一些的學生或是年輕人，我非常享受。

Ruth: So which do you prefer?

魯斯：那你更喜歡哪種?

Akane: Well, they both have good parts and bad parts and I think in the future I would like to do a bit of both.

茜：嗯，各有各的好處和壞處，我想以后我會想兩者兼做。

Ruth: Do you know where you would like to live in the future?

魯斯：那你以后想住在哪里呢?

Akane: I have no idea. I would like to travel to different places and maybe I'll eventually settle back down in Toronto, where I'm from.

茜：我不知道。我喜歡去不同的地方旅行，也許我最終還是會回到故鄉(xiāng)多倫多定居。

Ruth: Do you have family in Toronto?

魯斯：你有家人在多倫多嗎?

Akane: Not at the moment, no. My parents moved to Vancouver and that's where they live right now.

茜：現(xiàn)在沒有。我父母搬去溫哥華了，他們現(xiàn)在就住在那里。

Ruth: Ah, Vancouver, is that in Canada was well?

魯斯：啊，溫哥華，那也是加拿大的城市吧?

Akane: That's right. It's on the West Coast of Canada and the weather is much warmer there and that's why my parents like it there.

茜：沒錯。溫哥華位于加拿大的西海岸，那里的天氣更溫暖，所以我父母喜歡那里。

Ruth: Oh, wow, it sounds nice.

魯斯：哦，哇，聽起來不錯。
