平時你會做什么日?；顒?/h1>
每個人都有日?；顒樱綍r你會做什么
來聽今天的講解:
A: So Meg, in the last one we were talking about idioms, but we didn't cover them all. Let's go over some more idioms.
梅格，上期節(jié)目我們討論了習語，不過我們并沒有說全。現(xiàn)在我們來復習更多習語。
B: OK.
好。
A: Alright so the first one is what activity is in your blood?
好，第一個問題，你天生擅長什么活動？
B: Hmm, I would say anything with nature in my blood, so hiking or especially kayaking. I love going kayaking, and so it's hard for me to resist if I'm in a place with beautiful nature, I need to go outside.
嗯，我會說我天生擅長在大自然進行的活動，比如徒步旅行等，我尤其擅長皮劃艇。我喜歡皮劃艇，如果我去擁有美麗自然景色的地方，我很難抗拒不去戶外活動。
A: So what about baking? Isn't baking sort of just natural for you. Don't you just love to bake? Isn't it in your blood?
那烘焙呢？對你來說，烘焙不是自然而然的事情嗎？你不是很喜歡烘焙嗎？那是不是你天生就擅長的事情？
B: I do also love to bake. Yeah. I guess hiking and baking are both in my blood together, kind of two different activities. So baking especially when I can make very creative and decorative desserts, to share with people, so I don't like to bake for myself, but sharing with others, it's quite enjoyable for me. Do you have any activities or things that are in your blood?
我也喜歡烘焙。對，我想徒步旅行和烘焙都是我天生擅長的事情，不過這是兩種不同的活動。尤其是，我可以做極具創(chuàng)意的裝飾性甜點，可以和他人分享，我不喜歡為自己烘焙美食，我喜歡和他人分享，這對我來說是非常享受的事情。你有沒有天生就擅長的活動？
A: Well, I think one is just teaching. I love teaching. I just want to teach all the time. Even if I won the lottery, I would be a teacher. I just like thinking of lessons, thinking of new ideas for lessons, trying technology with lessons, so even on my free time, I like thinking about it. And another thing is jogging. Even though, most people are surprised because I'm a little fat. I'm about 20 pounds overweight, but I run almost every day.
我想其中一件事是教學。我喜歡教學。我想一直從事教學工作。即使我中了彩票，我也會繼續(xù)當老師。我喜歡備課，喜歡為課程設計新想法，喜歡將科技融入課堂，我就連空閑時間都在思考教學工作。另一件我擅長的事是慢跑。雖然很多人對此感到驚訝，因為我有點兒胖。我大概超重20磅，不過我?guī)缀趺刻於紩堋?br />
B: I think I've seen you running before.
我想我以前看到過你跑步。
A: Yeah, I literally run every day. Like if I don't run, I feel terrible, like it's the most relaxing thing for me.
對，我基本上每天都會跑步。如果我不跑步，我會感覺很糟，跑步對我來說是最放松的事情。
B: Yeah.
好。
A: I can go two or three days - two days maybe - but I can't go three or four days without running.
如果不跑步，我可以忍受兩三天，可能能忍受兩天，不過我不能忍受三四天都不跑步的生活。
B: So jogging is really in your blood?
你很擅長慢跑？
A: Yeah, and I started when I was a kid. You know the movie Forest Gump, where he just starts running.
對，我從小時候就開始慢跑了。你知道《阿甘正傳》那部電影吧，和阿甘開始跑步的年齡差不多。
B: Right, yes, yes.
哦，對，我知道。
A: That was me as a kid.
我小時候就是那樣的。
B: Run Forest Run!
阿甘，跑！
A: I would just run out of my driveway, also in the country, and just go running for an hour.
我在行車道上跑步，也會在鄉(xiāng)村小路跑，大概跑一個小時。
B: Wow!
哇哦！
A: Just to run, I thought it was fun.
就只是跑步，我認為那很有樂趣。
B: Well, that's great.
嗯，那很棒。
A: Yeah, it's definitely in my blood.
對，那絕對是我擅長的事情。
B: OK, so we'll talk a little about feelings. So when you get criticized, do you take it to heart?
好，我們來談談情感。你遭受批評時，會放在心上嗎？
A: I think my first reaction, is to take it to heart, so sometimes I might be a little oversensitive when I first get criticized, but after some time passes and I'm able to think about it, usually I can see how that criticism can be useful, and I can try to make a change or improve something. Or I can decide that I don't care about that person's opinion. What about you? What do you do? How do you respond?
我想我的第一反應是很介意，我第一次被批評時可能會有些過于敏感，不過過一段兒時間之后，我會開始思考，通常我會弄清楚那種批評有多大用處，我會盡力做出改變或改善?；蛘呶铱赡軙Q定，不去在意那個人的看法。你呢？你會怎么做？你有何反應？
B: Yeah, I used to take things to heart a lot, but as I've gotten older, as many people do, now a lot of it just rolls off my back, as we say, like water off a duck's back, so it doesn't bother me at all
嗯，我之前經(jīng)常把那種事情放在心上，不過隨著年齡的增長，我也和許多人一樣，不去在意那些事情，就如我們所說，把那些當作耳邊風，所以那些完全不會令我困擾。
A: Yeah.
好。
B: Yeah, I just realize everybody has different opinions and don't worry about it.
對，我意識到每個人都有不同的觀點，不用太在意。
A: Yeah, I think that's a good attitude to have.
對，我認為那是個不錯的態(tài)度。
B: Yeah, OK, so the next one also about feelings and opinions. So are you more likely to bite your lip, or speak your mind when you disagree with somebody?
好，下一個和情感及觀點有關的問題。在你不同意其他人的觀點時，你是會一言不發(fā)還是會說是出你的想法？
A: I think it depends on the situation, so if I feel like someone else is being treated unfairly or there are some rules that are there for a reason that should be followed, I am ore likely to speak my mind, but if it's something personal, or just related to me I might bite my lip to try to keep the peace. What would you do, bite your lip or speak your mind?
我認為這要視情況而定，如果我認為其他人受到了不公正的對待或應該遵守一些規(guī)定，我很可能會說出我的想法，但是如果是個人問題或是和我有關的事情，那我可能會一言不發(fā)，盡量保持平靜。你呢，你是會一言不發(fā)還是會說出你的想法？
B: Well, I have a big mouth, so no, I always speak my mind. So I have a really big mouth. I just never keep it inside. Yeah, it's really hard for me to bite my lip.
嗯，我是個大嘴巴，我一直都會把自己的想法說出來。我是個大嘴巴。我不能把話放在心里。對我來說，很難讓我做到一言不發(fā)。
A: Hmm.
嗯。
B: Yeah, so. That can be a bad thing.
好。那可能不太好。
A: But sometimes good.
有時也可以是好事。
