你認(rèn)為哪三樣?xùn)|西是你生活中必不可少的

今天的這段對話，在討論必需品，
 
你認(rèn)為哪三樣?xùn)|西是你生活中必不可少的
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: Right, Tom, tell me, what three things could you not live without?
 
好，湯姆，哪三樣?xùn)|西是你生活中必不可少的？
 
B: Well, I guess you say me playing with my new toy just now. It's my iPod touch and it is fantastic. I often take long bus journeys at the weekend and on this little electronic storage machine with screen I can watch a movie and that's just ... makes bus journeys fly by. It also has wireless internet so I can carry it around and in a coffee shop I can check my e-mail and it has the added function of being able to play music, although I don't listen to music much. That's one. My iPod touch is with me all the time. It's kind of connected to my number 2. Number 2 is the internet. I couldn't live without the internet. I'm online every day — reading newpapers, checking out information about things I want to do and see that day. Keeping in touch with family and friends, although I don't do that as much as they would like. The internet is such a huge part of my life. I can't imagine what it was like ten or fifteen years ago, when nobody was online. Number three, I suppose is the sun, which sounds a bit facile because everything on the whole planet requires the sun, but for me it's not so much about the nutrition that plants and animals derive from the sun. It's just being able to lie and relax in the soft warmth, tanning by the pool letting my mind empty and clear. Those are my three. How about you?
 
嗯，你看到我現(xiàn)在正在玩我的新玩具吧。這是iPod touch，非常棒。我周末經(jīng)常要坐長時間的公交車，有這個帶有屏幕的小型電子儲存設(shè)備，我就可以在公交車上看電影，這樣時間就過得很快。而且這上面還有無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)，我可以隨身攜帶，可以在咖啡店檢查電子郵件，iPod touch還有一個附加功能，可以用它聽音樂，不過我不太常聽音樂。這是其中一樣?xùn)|西，我隨時都要帶著我的iPod touch。其實(shí)它和我第二樣必需品有點(diǎn)兒聯(lián)系。第二個就是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)。沒有網(wǎng)絡(luò)我沒法生活。我每天都要上網(wǎng)，上網(wǎng)看新聞，了解我當(dāng)天想做的事情的相關(guān)信息。還有用網(wǎng)絡(luò)和家人以及朋友保持聯(lián)系，不過我不像他們聯(lián)系的那么頻繁?；ヂ?lián)網(wǎng)在我生活中占據(jù)很重要的部分。我無法想象十年或十五年前那種沒有網(wǎng)絡(luò)的生活。我想第三樣不可或缺的應(yīng)該是陽光，這聽起來可能像是隨口說的答案，因?yàn)檫@個星球上的一切都需要陽光，不過對我來說，我需要的不僅僅是動植物從太陽那里得到的營養(yǎng)。還有可以在溫暖的陽光下，躺在泳池旁邊曬太陽，什么都不想，只是休息。這就是我必不可少的三樣?xùn)|西。你呢？
 
A: Well, I have to agree with your second one, definitely the Internet is one thing couldn't live without either, for the same reasons you mentioned, really, just to stay in touch with people for things like reading the news, checking my e-mail, finding phone numbers, getting information. I really couldn't live without it. The second thing would be my family. I couldn't live without them. I think since I've moved away from Britain and I don't live close to them, and I don't see them regularly anymore, I've grown to love them even more. Kind of you don't realize what you've until it's gone, and that was true with my family. I really miss them all the time, and I love going back to see them, so they're my number two, and my number three would be music. Music's a huge part of my life and I think I remember things by what I was listening to at the time. I'll remember periods of my life by what's songs I was listening to or what album i bought, so for me my memories are very much brought back to me by music, so those are my three things: the Internet, my family, and music.
 
嗯，我同意你說的第二樣，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)絕對是我必不可少的，我的理由和你的一樣，要和朋友們保持聯(lián)系，瀏覽新聞，檢查電子郵件，找電話號碼，獲取信息。沒有網(wǎng)絡(luò)我真的無法生活。第二樣是我的家人。沒有他們我也沒法生活。我離開英國以后，我住得離他們很遠(yuǎn)，我不能像以前那樣經(jīng)常和他們見面，而我卻更愛他們了。就好像你在失去某樣?xùn)|西前沒有意識到它的珍貴一樣，我和家人的感情就是這樣。我真的很想念和他們在一起的時光，我想回去看看他們，所以家人是我不可或缺的，第三樣是音樂。音樂在我生活中占據(jù)了重要的部分，我通過我當(dāng)時聽的音樂來記憶。我會通過我當(dāng)時聽的音樂或我當(dāng)時買的專輯來記住生命中的那段時光，對我來說音樂會幫我找回以前的記憶，讓我回憶起以前的事情，所以我必不可少的三樣?xùn)|西是：互聯(lián)網(wǎng)、家人和音樂。
