　　生活英語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話：英國(guó)與日本

　　Todd: Clare, you're from England.

　　克萊爾，你來(lái)自英國(guó)。

　　Clare: That's right.

　　沒(méi)錯(cuò)。

　　Todd: How would you compare England and Japan?

　　你怎么對(duì)比英國(guó)和日本呢?

　　Clare: Well, I think, let's take price-wise, they're actually quite similar. Well, not, maybe not England as a whole but, say Japan and London is very similar, I found in supermarkets, in housing, and things like that. In other respects, the people are certainly different. I mean, British people are renowned to be very polite as Japanese people are too, and Japanese people are very helpful as well, probably more so than British people I would say. Mm, what else?

　　物價(jià)上來(lái)說(shuō)，兩個(gè)國(guó)家基本一樣。也許不能說(shuō)整個(gè)英國(guó)的物價(jià)和日本一樣，可以說(shuō)日本和倫敦的物價(jià)很接近，比如超市商品的價(jià)格，房?jī)r(jià)都很接近。其他方面，英國(guó)人和日本人肯定很不同。 英國(guó)人被公認(rèn)為很有禮貌，日本人也是如此，日本人也很樂(lè)于助人，也許比英國(guó)人還樂(lè)于助人。其他方面?

　　Todd: What about the weather?

　　天氣方面呢?

　　Clare: The weather? Well, it's been raining a lot in Japan recently so we could say that it's quite similar, although actually, when I was e-mailing my parents, they've been going on about how there hasn't been much rain the past couple of months and how they think there is going to be a drought. That typical British stereotype of the weather is not true at the minute and it's probably wetter in Japan, but yeah, I think that climate wise it's quite similar in terms of temperature. It's definitely much more humid here than at home.

　　天氣?最近日本的雨水很多，因此可以說(shuō)在天氣上英國(guó)和日本也很相似，雖然我和父母電子郵件聯(lián)系的時(shí)候，他們總是說(shuō)最近幾個(gè)月英國(guó)沒(méi)怎么下雨，他們認(rèn)為英國(guó)將會(huì)發(fā)生干旱災(zāi)害了?，F(xiàn) 在英國(guó)的天氣并不是英國(guó)最典型的天氣，日本這邊更加濕潤(rùn)，但氣溫上說(shuō)兩個(gè)國(guó)家的溫度是相近的?，F(xiàn)在日本的天氣絕對(duì)比英國(guó)濕潤(rùn)。

　　好的。非常感謝。

　　Todd: OK. Thanks a lot.

　　Cat: Yes, about ten minutes from the beach.

　　Todd: Wow, do you surf?

　　那是個(gè)小地方。但夏天卻很熱鬧。在哪兒沒(méi)什么可做的，但陽(yáng)光明媚的時(shí)候，可以去沙灘走走。那真的很棒。

　　Todd: Yeah, sounds like a great place. How far is it from London?

　　那么你坐火車去倫敦?

　　Cat: Normally yes because you can't drive, there's nowhere to park.

　　好的。很棒。謝謝。

　　嗯……我不知道具體高度，但真的很壯觀。

　　Todd: Really. So is it famous because it's really tall or cause it's really wide?

　　真的。這座瀑布的最有名的是它的高度還是寬度?

　　Kanade: Could be both.

　　可能兩者兼有。
