與其他國家的人成為鄰居應(yīng)該怎么認(rèn)識對方
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: Hello.
 
你好。
 
B: Hello. Good morning.
 
你好，早上好。
 
A: Hi. I don't think we've met. My name's Todd.
 
嗨。我想我們不認(rèn)識。我是托德。
 
B: Oh, nice to meet you. My name's Phil. I'm from England.
 
很高興認(rèn)識你。我是菲爾，我來自英國。
 
A: Oh, hey Phil, I'm from the states. I've noticed you in the building. How long have you lived here?
 
嗨，菲爾，我來自美國。我之前在大樓里看到過你。你在這里住了多久了？
 
B: I've lived here for six months actually.
 
我在這里住了六個月了。
 
A: Oh, really.
 
哦，真的嗎？
 
B: Yeah.
 
對。
 
A: Well, I've been here for two months and I don't think , you know, we've haven't met yet, so.
 
嗯，我已經(jīng)在這里生活兩個月了，我想我們還不認(rèn)識。
 
B: I guess we're always busy at work. I never see you.
 
因為我們一直都很忙。我從來沒見過你。
 
A: Right. Right. Now, do you live on the fourth floor?
 
對，是的。你是住在四層嗎？
 
B: Yeah, yeah. I live actually quite near to your room, just right around the corner.
 
對。其實我的房間離你的很近，就在拐角那里。
 
A: Oh, really. What room number are you?
 
哦，真的嗎？你的房間號是多少？
 
B: I'm 443.
 
我在443號住。
 
A: Ah, OK. Actually, I'm 430, so.
 
好。我住在430號。
 
B: I'm lucky my room's at the end of the corridor so it's really quiet.
 
我的房間在走廊的盡頭，真的很幸運，因為那里非常安靜。
 
A: Yeah, you know, I was wondering though, at night I do my laundry sometimes and the laundry room is near your room and it makes a lot of noise. Does it keep you up at night?
 
你知道，有時我會在晚上去洗衣房，洗衣房離你的房間很近，洗衣服的時候會有很大的噪音，這會不會使你晚上無法入睡？
 
B: I've never heard it to be honest. Maybe I'm a really good sleeper or something.
 
說實話，我從來沒有聽見過洗衣服的聲音。也許是因為我睡得很深吧。
 
A: Oh, good.
 
哦，好。
 
B: I never hear it.
 
我從來沒聽見過。
 
A: So, what do you do?
 
你做什么工作？
 
B: I'm an English teacher near here.
 
我在這附近教英語。
 
A: Oh, really, actually so am I.
 
哦，真的嗎，我也是英語老師。
 
B: Oh, really. I only teach junior high school, so quite young children.
 
是嗎？我只在初中教英語，所以我教的都是年紀(jì)小的孩子。
 
A: Ah, that's cool. I'm the opposite. I teach mainly university students.
 
這很酷。我和你正相反。我主要教大學(xué)生。
 
B: Oh, OK, yeah. Junior high school students are really good but, quite often they like to sleep in the lesson. Maybe, I'm just a boring teacher. I don't know.
 
哦，好。初中生很好，不過他們經(jīng)常在課堂上睡覺?？赡苁且驗槲业恼n很無聊吧。我也不知道原因。
 
A: Nah, nah. I think it's just cause when they're young kids. Yeah, the university kids are nice, but I think you have a lot more holidays though.
 
我覺得不是。我認(rèn)為是因為他們還是孩子。大學(xué)生很不錯，你的假期應(yīng)該更多吧。
 
B: Yeah, that's true. Recently, I had five weeks summer vacation. I was really lucky.
 
對，沒錯。最近我剛休了五周的暑假。我非常幸運。
 
A: I'm jealous. That's nice. Hey, so what do you think of the building that we live in?
 
我太羨慕你了。這太好了。你覺得我們住的這座大樓怎么樣？
 
B: Actually, I really like it. The rooms are quite small. The atmosphere, everyone is so friendly, and I get to meet people from all over the world and talk to them in different languages if I can and it's really interesting.
 
我非常喜歡。雖然房間非常小，但是氣氛很好，而且這里的所有人都很友好，在這里我能認(rèn)識世界各地的人，而且如果可以的話，我會用不同的語言和他們聊天，這非常有趣。
 
A: Yeah, I agree. I really like living here. I mean, you know sometimes, I like to be by myself, you know, but I have to admit, I really like having so many people that you can talk to in the building.
 
對，我同意。我也很喜歡住在這里。有時我喜歡一個人待著，不過我得承認(rèn)，我非常喜歡能和樓里的很多人聊天的感覺。
 
B: Yeah, it's really nice and there's really good places to prepare food and everything is really clean and nice so it's a really nice place to live.
 
對，這非常好，而且還有可以準(zhǔn)備食物的地方，所有東西都很整潔，這里真的是一個適合居住的好地方。
 
A: How much longer do you think you're going to stay?
 
你打算在這里住多長時間？
 
B: My contract is for another six months here, so I will stay that long and then maybe longer, I'm not sure.
 
我的合同還有六個月，所以我至少會再住六個月的時間，之后我可能會繼續(xù)住在這里，我也不確定。
