實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話：Teaching Overseas 在海外教學(xué)

John: So Sarah, you're an English teacher, right?

約翰：薩拉，你是名英語(yǔ)老師，對(duì)吧?

Sarah: That's right.

薩拉：沒(méi)錯(cuò)。

John: You must have taught in many countries before.

約翰：你之前一定在很多國(guó)家教過(guò)英語(yǔ)。

Sarah: Yeah, I did. I taught in the USA, in Taiwan, China, South Korea, Japan and Ecuador.

薩拉：對(duì)，沒(méi)錯(cuò)。我在美國(guó)、臺(tái)灣、中國(guó)、韓國(guó)、日本和厄瓜多爾教過(guò)英語(yǔ)。

John: Oh, Ecuador.

約翰：哦，厄瓜多爾。

Sarah: Yeah.

薩拉：對(duì)。

John: So you must be able to speak Spanish very well.

約翰：那你一定也會(huì)說(shuō)西班牙語(yǔ)。

Sarah: I think so. I studied really hard, and then when I lived in Ecuador, I spent a lot of time talking to people.

薩拉：是的。我在厄瓜多爾時(shí)非常努力地學(xué)習(xí)了西班牙語(yǔ)，我花很多時(shí)間和當(dāng)?shù)厝私徽劇?/p>

John: Did you teach Spanish, too?

約翰：那你也教西班牙語(yǔ)?

Sarah: No, I didn't. When I lived in Ecuador actually, I volunteered for the United Nations.

薩拉：不教。我在厄瓜多爾生活時(shí)，我是聯(lián)合國(guó)的志愿者。

John: Wow.

約翰：哇哦。

Sarah: And I taught families and they were being relocated to Canada because they were fleeing the drug wars of Colombia.

薩拉：我的工作是教一些家庭英語(yǔ)，這些家庭要逃離哥倫比亞的毒品戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，他們會(huì)被重新安置在加拿大。

John: Wow.

約翰：哇哦。

Sarah: So I felt very badly for these families but they had a really bright future. So that was good. But then one week, I had a family, a couple of families and they were being relocated to Sweden

.薩拉：我為這些家庭感到難過(guò)，不過(guò)他們有一個(gè)非常光明的未來(lái)。這很好。不過(guò)有一周，我教了幾個(gè)要被重新安置在瑞典的家庭。

John: Oh.

約翰：哦。

Sarah: And I said, "I can't teach them Swedish." And the UN said, "Well, maybe just teach them English." So I thought, they're going to Sweden, they don't need to learn English right now. And my friend at the time – she's Norwegian, and we were living together. And every day, she helped me to learn a little bit of Swedish. Just enough for one class so that I could teach these families...

薩拉：我說(shuō)，“我不能教他們?nèi)鸬湔Z(yǔ)”。聯(lián)合國(guó)方面說(shuō)，“你就教他們英語(yǔ)吧”?？墒俏蚁?，他們要去瑞典，他們現(xiàn)在不用學(xué)英語(yǔ)。當(dāng)時(shí)我有個(gè)朋友，她是挪威人，我們住在一起。她每天都幫助我學(xué)習(xí)一些瑞典語(yǔ)。足夠我在當(dāng)天的課上教那些家庭的。

John: Wait, wait.

約翰：等一下。

Sarah: ...some Swedish.

薩拉：瑞典語(yǔ)。

John: You were teaching Swedish language?

約翰：你教瑞典語(yǔ)?

Sarah: Yes.

薩拉：對(duì)。

John: You are an English speaker.

約翰：可是你的母語(yǔ)是英語(yǔ)。

Sarah: Yes.

薩拉：對(duì)。

John: You lived in Ecuador.

約翰：你當(dāng)時(shí)在厄瓜多爾生活。

Sarah: Yes.

薩拉：對(duì)。

John: And a Norwegian person taught you Swedish.

約翰：一個(gè)挪威人教你瑞典語(yǔ)。

Sarah: Yes.

薩拉：對(duì)。

John: So you could teach Swedish to people from Ecuador.

約翰：所以你教厄瓜多爾人瑞典語(yǔ)。

Sarah: From Colombia, currently living in Ecuador.

薩拉：那些人來(lái)自哥倫比亞，他們當(dāng)時(shí)住在厄瓜多爾。

John: So they could move to Sweden.

約翰：他們要搬去瑞典。

Sarah: Yes.

薩拉：對(duì)。

John: And you did this as a volunteer.

約翰：你志愿做這份工作。

Sarah: Yeah. I wanted to help people. So I moved to Ecuador and I got a volunteer job with the United Nations to help teach people but I never thought I would be teaching Swedish.

薩拉：對(duì)。我想幫助別人。所以我去厄瓜多爾做聯(lián)合國(guó)的志愿者，去幫助他人，我以前從來(lái)沒(méi)想過(guò)我會(huì)教瑞典語(yǔ)。

John: Wow.

約翰：哇哦。

Sarah: Yeah. It was a lot of fun.

薩拉：對(duì)。那很有趣。

John: I would like to try that someday, too.

約翰：如果有機(jī)會(huì)，我也想嘗試一下。

Sarah: You can do it.

薩拉：你可以的。
