實戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：Do you like to study? 你喜歡學(xué)習(xí)嗎?
Aiko: Hello, my name is Aiko. I'm from Japan.
愛子：大家好，我是愛子，來自日本。
Gareth: And my name is Gareth and I'm from England.
加雷斯：我是加雷斯，來自英國。
Aiko: Our question is do you like to study? How about you, Gareth?
愛子：我們要討論的問題是，你喜歡學(xué)習(xí)嗎?加雷斯，你喜歡學(xué)習(xí)嗎?
Gareth: Yes, I do, not just for myself but for my son. My son often asks me questions like how do earthquakes happen, how do engines work and I feel that if I don't know the answer to his questions, I'll be a bad daddy. So it's kind of insecurity which drives me to study but I do enjoy it. I do enjoy finding out how earthquakes actually happen and why they happen and how combustion engines work. How about you, Aiko?
加雷斯：我喜歡學(xué)習(xí)，我學(xué)習(xí)不僅僅是為了我自己，也為了我兒子。我兒子經(jīng)常問我問題，比如地震是怎么發(fā)生的，引擎是怎么工作的等等，如果我不能回答他的問題，那我我會認為自己不是好爸爸。所以，這種不安全感驅(qū)使我不斷學(xué)習(xí)，當(dāng)然我也很享受。在了解地震發(fā)生原因和引擎工作原理的過程中，我很享受。你呢，愛子?
Aiko: Yeah, I do like to study in general but then I enjoy studying English the most. The reason for that is, one, it's like my hobby so it's not like a chore really studying and also that's something I need to improve because I use English with my husband and our children and our children are only three years old and one year old but their English is improving so quickly, unbelievably quickly, so I feel like I'm falling behind and that motivates me a lot.
愛子：總的來說，我也喜歡學(xué)習(xí)，我最喜歡學(xué)習(xí)英語。原因是，這是我的興趣，所以學(xué)習(xí)并不是令人厭煩的任務(wù)，而且我需要提高我的英語水平，因為我和丈夫還有孩子用英語交流，我們的孩子一個3歲，一個1歲，他們的英語水平進步地非?？欤M步速度令人難以置信，所以我感覺自己落后了，這激發(fā)了我的動力。
Gareth: Hm, they keep you on your toes, don't they?
加雷斯：嗯，他們使你保持警覺，對吧?
Aiko: Yes.
愛子：沒錯。
