美語情景對話 第1242期:What is a talent you wish you had? 你希望擁有什麼才能

Gareth: Hello, my name is Gareth and I'm from England.

加雷斯：大家好，我是加雷斯，來自英國。

Aiko: Hello, my name is Aiko and I'm from Japan.

愛子：大家好，我是愛子，來自日本。

Gareth: And our question is what is the talent you wish you had ?

加雷斯：我們要談論的話題是，你希望擁有什麼才能？

Aiko: Should I answer first?

愛子：應該我先回答嗎？

Gareth: Yep, please do.

加雷斯：好，請回答。

Aiko: I wish I could sing and dance very well. When I'm watching a kids' TV show with our children, they often sing, sing Mom or dance and I try my best but it's quite terrible and then I wish I could do it very well. How about you Gareth?

愛子：我希望能有唱歌和跳舞的才能。我和孩子們看兒童電視節目時，我的孩子們經常會說“媽媽來唱首歌吧或是媽媽跳個舞”，可是我盡了最大努力，卻做得非常糟糕，所以我希望我也能有這種才能。你呢，加雷斯？

Gareth: I wish I could play the guitar and this is because whenever you go to a party there's always a guitar somewhere in the house, right? Just in the corner of the room or somewhere like that, so I wish I could just pick it up and then play like Jimmi Hendrix. I think it would impress all of my friends and maybe it's something that I could do as a job in the future and get money for playing the guitar.

加雷斯：我希望能有彈奏吉他的才華，因爲每次參加派對時，都會有吉他放在房間裏的某個地方，對吧？可能是房間的角落或是其他地方，所以我希望我能拿起吉他，像吉米·亨德里克斯一樣演奏。我想那會給所有朋友留下深刻印象，也許未來我還能用這個才能來工作，通過演奏吉他掙錢。

Aiko: You play the guitar and I sing, that would be perfect.

愛子：你彈吉他，我唱歌，那就太完美了。

Gareth: A duo, yes.

加雷斯：二人組搭檔表演。
