住在加拿大鄉(xiāng)村和大城市分別是什么體驗(yàn)
 
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
 
A: So, Rina, where are you from?
 
麗娜，你來(lái)自哪里？
 
B: I am from Davidson, Saskatchewan, and it's a small town in Saskatchewan, about 1,000 people, and I grew up there.
 
我來(lái)自薩克其萬(wàn)省戴維森鎮(zhèn)，那里是薩克其萬(wàn)省的一個(gè)小城鎮(zhèn)，人口只有約1000人，我在那里長(zhǎng)大。
 
A: Now, Saskatchewan, that's a part of Canada that doesn't have a lot of people, right?
 
薩克其萬(wàn)省，那是加拿大的一個(gè)省，而且人口不多，對(duì)吧？
 
B: There's, in the whole province, there's a million people.
 
整個(gè)省有一百萬(wàn)人口。
 
A: That's it.
 
對(duì)。
 
B: In all of Canada there is only 33 million, so yeah.
 
加拿大的人口也僅有3300萬(wàn)。
 
A: And you only have one?
 
你的家鄉(xiāng)只有1百萬(wàn)人？
 
B: One. There's 33 million.
 
對(duì)。加拿大有3300百萬(wàn)人。
 
A: Yeah, actually, is there any major Canadian cities in Saskatchewan?
 
好，薩克其萬(wàn)省有沒(méi)有重要的加拿大城市？
 
B: Well, the capital is Regina. (Really) Yeah, if you've heard of that.
 
薩克其萬(wàn)省首府是雷吉納。（是嗎）對(duì)，不知道你聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)沒(méi)有。
 
A: No.
 
沒(méi)聽(tīng)過(guò)說(shuō)。
 
B: But I live in, right now my parents live in Saskatoon.
 
我生活在……現(xiàn)在我的父母生活在薩斯卡通市。
 
A: Oh, OK.
 
哦，好。
 
B: And that's, my town is between Regina and Saskatoon, called the midway town.
 
我成長(zhǎng)的城鎮(zhèn)位于雷吉納和薩斯卡通之間，被稱為中間鎮(zhèn)。
 
A: What's it like growing up in a very small rural setting?
 
在小鄉(xiāng)村長(zhǎng)大是什么感覺(jué)？
 
B: It was awesome. My parents, because they immigrated from Lebanon were very strict with me so I really wasn't allowed to do very much until I was about in grade 11, when my brother was old enough to come with me, but it was, once I was able to start going out and going to dances and things like that I loved it.
 
棒極了。因?yàn)槲腋改甘菑睦璋湍垡泼駚?lái)的，所以他們對(duì)我非常嚴(yán)厲，在我上11年級(jí)以前他們不允許我做很多事情，我11年級(jí)時(shí)我哥哥的年紀(jì)足以照顧我，所以那時(shí)我可以外出，可以去跳舞，去做一些我喜歡的事情。
 
A: Oh, really, even in your small town?
 
真的嗎？即使在你們的小城鎮(zhèn)里？
 
B: In my small town, yeah. Cause I had it, I was very close with a lot of, like a very small class, very very close with a lot of people there, yeah.
 
對(duì)，在我們的小城鎮(zhèn)里。因?yàn)槲液湍抢锏脑S多人都很親近，就像一個(gè)小型群體一樣。
 
A: Sounds good. So, in all of Canada, like when you go back and you settle down and you live in Canada, do you want to live in Saskatchewan?
 
聽(tīng)起來(lái)不錯(cuò)。那如果你回到加拿大定居，你想住在薩克其萬(wàn)省嗎？
 
B: No.
 
不想。
 
A: No.
 
不想嗎？
 
B: No, it's not, it's, I've developed a lot more since I was that age and it's just not the same anymore. I'd like a bigger center, preferably Vancouver, or Montreal, on one of the coasts. Yeah. So.
 
不想，我離開(kāi)以后成長(zhǎng)了很多，已經(jīng)與以前大不相同。我喜歡大一點(diǎn)的城市，我更傾向于在溫哥華或蒙特利爾這樣的海岸城市生活。
 
A: Not Toronto?
 
你不考慮多倫多嗎？
 
B: No, I'm not a big fan of Toronto.
 
不，我不太喜歡多倫多。
 
A: Ah, why?
 
為什么？
 
B: Because I'm a little jaded. When I was, in 94, we went to Niagara Falls, and we drove through Toronto and it was just so, it looked so busy and smoggy and just crazy, and so I never really liked it since then. I have that image in my head still of that.
 
因?yàn)槲矣行﹨捑肽抢铩?4年的時(shí)候，我們?nèi)ツ醽喖永俨悸眯?，?dāng)時(shí)我們開(kāi)車(chē)經(jīng)過(guò)多倫多，那里看上去又繁忙又煙霧彌漫，非常瘋狂，那以后我就不太喜歡多倫多了。我現(xiàn)在還記得當(dāng)時(shí)看到的情景。
 
A: Yeah, well, that's how I feel about L. A.
