實戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：Small Talk 閑談

Edwin: Hey Buddhi, how ya going?

埃德溫：嗨，布迪，你好嗎?

Buddhi: I'm good Edwin, how are you?

布迪：我很好，埃德溫，你呢?

Edwin: I'm not too bad. Did you do anything last weekend?

埃德溫：我還行。你上周末做什么了嗎?

Buddhi: Yes, I did. I went out with a bunch of friends after a very long time. And, yeah, I had a nice time.

布迪：有。我和一群朋友久違地出去玩了。我周末玩得很愉快。

Edwin: What did you guys do downtown?

埃德溫：你們在市中心做什么了?

Buddhi: First, for lunch we wanted to go out for lunch and then we did some window shopping. None of us had saved up enough for any actual shopping, so it was window shopping, and then we did some karaoke and we went out for some dancing. It was nice. I enjoyed my Saturday.

布迪：我們先去吃午飯，然后去櫥窗購物了。因為我們所有人都沒有存夠?qū)嶋H購物的錢，所以我們只能櫥窗購物，之后我們?nèi)コɡ璒K、跳舞了。我過得非常愉快。我很享受這個周六。

Edwin: Do you love karaoke?

埃德溫：你喜歡卡拉OK嗎?

Buddhi: I do. I do. I end up losing my voice the next day.

布迪：我喜歡，喜歡。第二天我的嗓子完全啞掉了。

Edwin: How as the dancing? Are you a bit of a dance master?

埃德溫：跳舞怎么樣?你是舞蹈大師嗎?

Buddhi: I wouldn't say that. Well, I love dancing, so we had a nice time. How about you? How was your weekend?

布迪：我不這樣認為。不過我喜歡跳舞，我們玩得很開心。你呢?你周末怎么過的?

Edwin: My weekend was alright. I just went down to the city and did a bit of shopping.

埃德溫：周末還好。我去城里購物了。

Buddhi: So, did you spend a lot?

布迪：你花了很多錢嗎?

Edwin: I spent about two hundred dollars.

埃德溫：我花了大概200美元。

Buddhi: OK.

布迪：好。

Edwin: Bought some winter clothing, and it's getting a bit cold these days, so yeah.

埃德溫：我買了幾件冬天的衣服，最近越來越冷了。

Buddhi: I'm not a very winter person. Do you like winter?

布迪：我不太喜歡冬天。你喜歡冬天嗎?

Edwin: No, I don't like winter. I'm a very summer person.

埃德溫：我也不喜歡冬天。我喜歡夏天。

Buddhi: Oh, really. Well, I don't like when it's too warm. And you like it?

布迪：哦，真的嗎?我不喜歡太熱的天氣。你喜歡嗎?

Edwin: I prefer to sweat rather than freeze.

埃德溫：與嚴寒相比，我寧愿出汗。

Buddhi: So do you like sea bathing and like outdoor activities?

布迪：那你喜歡海水浴等戶外活動嗎?

Edwin: Yeah, I love the sun so, I like a lot of outdoor activities. It's better than being cooped up in a room.

埃德溫：我喜歡太陽，有很多戶外活動我都喜歡。比關(guān)在家里好多了。

Buddhi: In my case, I'm not a very outdoor person. But now summer. Definitely not summer. I'd say my favorite season will be spring.

布迪：我不太喜歡戶外活動。現(xiàn)在是夏天。我不喜歡夏天，我最喜歡的季節(jié)是春天。

Edwin: Ah, I guess, yeah. Spring is a nice time. Not too hot, not too cold.

埃德溫：我認為春季是個好時節(jié)。不太熱也不太冷。

Buddhi: Yeah, yeah. Especially, I guess because I'm from a tropical country, and we are used to that kind of weather.

布迪：對。而且因為我來自熱帶國家，我們已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了那樣的天氣。

Edwin: I see. I guess Australia's summer's not so tropical. It's just a lot of dry.

埃德溫：我明白了。我認為澳大利亞的夏天不太像熱帶，而是非常干燥。

Buddhi: Yeah.

布迪：好。

Edwin: So, I guess Sri Lanka in Australia is really different?

埃德溫：我想斯里蘭卡和澳大利亞非常不同吧?

Buddhi: It's quite warm, and throughout the year, it's quite hot, warm and in the hill country, you'll feel that it's like fall. You'll wanna wear, you know, some warm clothes, but it's really nice, you know you feel like having something cold or, being a bit cold, you go to the hill country. If now, you stay in the beach area.

布迪：非常熱，全年都很熱，而山區(qū)的溫度就像秋天一樣。讓你想穿上些暖和的衣服，不過這很好，如果想去涼爽的地方，去山區(qū)就好了。要是現(xiàn)在這個季節(jié)，就待在海灘就好了。
