实战口语美语情景对话 180期第01期:我的父母Jessica: OK, my mother and father. Lets see. My mom is three years older than my dad, and they are like night and day. My mom is 5 foot 4, on a good day, 5 foot 2, I think in real life, and she is very sweet and very nice, and very caring, and very cute, everybody tells her how young she looks, and how she resembles my sister, perhaps. My father is very much completely opposite that. He is a very big man, very loud, very funny, very boisterous. He makes friends no matter where he goes. For example, sometimes he goes to Florida and makes all sorts of good friends. Hell just go off. Hes kind of a magnet to people, and so my parents are completely opposite, and they complement each other very well. My dad has a very good sense of humor. My mom is very gentle. Very nice.好的，我的父母。我的母亲比我父亲大三岁，他们十分不同，就像白天和黑夜的区别一样。我母亲高5.4英尺，但我认为她的真实身高只有5.2英尺。她很亲切，和蔼，很会照顾人。她很可爱，所有人都跟她说她看上去很年轻，和我像姐妹花一样。我的父亲是完全相反的一个人。他个子很大，大嗓门，风趣，爱说话。他走到哪里都能交到朋友。例如，又一次他去了弗罗里达州就交到了各种各样的好朋友。他就是简单地去了，仿佛他对人有磁力一样。因此我的父母是完全相反的两个人，他们互补得很好。我父亲很幽默，我母亲温柔和善。Todd: When is the last time you talked to you parents?你上次和你父母谈话时什么时候？Jessica: I talked to them probably about two weeks ago. Yeah, everything is going well.我上次和他们谈话是两周前。一切都进行得很顺利。Todd: Are you going to see them soon?你最近会去看他们吗？Jessica: I am going to go home after the holidays and were going to have a Christmas kind of in January or February. Yeah, depending on when my brother can come in.假期过后我会回家，我们会在一月或是二月再聚在一起庆祝圣诞节，具体要看我的兄弟什么时候回来。Todd: OK. And who are you more like, your mother or your father?好的。你的父母，你更喜欢谁？Jessica: I think I have traits of both, actually. I look more like my mother, except that I am about a foot taller. Yeah, I resemble my mom more. I think I have both of the characteristics of my mom and dad.实际上，两个我都喜欢。我长得很像我母亲，虽然我比她高1英尺。是的，我像我母亲。但我兼有父母两个人的性格特征。Todd: OK. Great. Thanks.好的，谢谢。第02期: 悉尼Todd: OK, Ann, you spent quite a bit of time in Australia recently so why dont you talk about that?好的，安，你最近在澳大利亚居住了很长时间，为什么不谈谈在澳大利亚的生活呢？Ann: I really liked living in Australia. I was an international student and I studied education at the University of Sydney. And living in Sydney was fantastic, because I could go to the beach anytime I wanted and there was a great nightlife in Sydney. There are lots of great clubs. And people were very, very friendly and easy-going and I met a lot of international people in living Sydney.我真的很喜欢住在悉尼。我是一名国际留学生，我在悉尼大学学习教育专业。住在悉尼真的是太棒了，因为只要我想，我能随时去海滩。悉尼的夜生活也是丰富多彩的。那里有许多很棒的酒吧。那里的人也非常友好，我在悉尼居住的时间里认识了许多国际留学生。Todd: Mm-mm. How long were you there?嗯，你在那里住了多久？Ann: I was there for almost a year.我在那里住了不到一年。Todd: Oh, OK.哦，好的。Ann: And I travelled a little bit in Australia. I went up the east coast. Up to Frasier Island, which is a world heritage site. And I saw dingoes running along the beach and sharks in the water. We climbed cliffs and went through a rainforest and went camping and then we went up to the Whitsundays, which is a bit further north. And the further north you go in Australia, the hotter it gets. So we were able to go swimming in the ocean and I went diving for the first time but it was a little bit risky cause I didnt have a diving license, so I went on an introductory dive and I saw a giant clam that had a really purple spongy inside that I was able to touch and then the clam closed up really quickly.我在澳大利亚旅游去了一些地方。我去了东海岸。登上了世界自然遗产弗雷泽岛。我在海滩上看到了澳洲野狗，我在海里看到了鲨鱼。我和朋友登上了悬崖，穿越了热带雨林，我们一起露营，还去了再往北一点的圣灵群岛。越往澳大利亚北部走就感觉越热。因此我们在海里游泳，我还在那里第一次潜水，但这有点儿冒险，我没有潜水执照，因此我只是做了入门级的潜水，潜水时我看到了一个巨型的蛤，它里面是紫色的海绵体，我用手触碰了一下，蛤迅速地就合上了。Todd: So, did you, did you lose your finger?你的手指夹到了吗？Ann: Almost.差点儿。Todd: Almost. Ah, youre lucky. Um, its funny, you go in the water and you worry about sharks, but not clams.差点儿。哦，你真幸运。真有趣，你下水会害怕鲨鱼，但是没有担心过蛤。Ann: Exactly.是的。Todd: Will you be going back to Australia soon?我会马上回澳大利亚去吗？Ann: Id like to go and live there for at least another year. Probably Ill go back to Sydney or maybe Ill go down to Melbourne because its a really interesting cultural city. They have lot of museums and parks.我想去澳大利亚住至少一年的时间。也许我会回悉尼，也许我会去墨尔本，因为那里的文化很有趣。那里有许多博物馆和公园。Todd: OK.
