我來自英國。Todd: OK. Where in England?
英國的哪裏？Cat: Ah, in the Southeast. A small town just by the seaside.
倫敦的東南部，海邊的一座小鎮。Todd: Nice. So you live by the beach?
很棒。那麼，你住在海灘附近？Cat: Yes, about ten minutes from the beach.
是的，大約走十分鐘就到海灘了。Todd: Wow, do you surf?
你衝浪嗎？Cat: It's not the kind of place you can surf. The waves are too small and the sea is too cold
那不是能夠衝浪的地方。浪太小了，海水也太冷了。Todd: OK. What kind of place is your town?
你家所在的小鎮是什麼樣的地方？Cat: What kind of place?
什麼樣的地方……Todd: Yeah!
是的！Cat: It'' very very small. It's normally really busy in the summer. There's not very much to do there, but when the sun is shining you can go to the beach. It's really good.
那是個小地方。但夏天卻很熱鬧。在哪兒沒什麼可做的，但陽光明媚的時候，可以去沙灘走走。那真的很棒。Todd: Yeah, sounds like a great place. How far is it from London?
聽上去是個不錯的地方。那裏距離倫敦有多遠？Cat: Ah, about 70 miles, so that's about two hours by train.
大約70英里。坐火車要2個小時。Todd: OK.
好的。Cat: From Central London.
到倫敦市中心。Todd: So when you go to London you go by train?
那麼你坐火車去倫敦？Cat: Normally yes because you can't drive, there's nowhere to park.
通常是的，因爲不能開車去，沒有地方停車。Todd: OK. Great. Thanks.
好的。很棒。謝謝。注：譯文屬原創，未經允許，請勿轉載。
