A: And is it conveniently located?

我感覺那里非常安全。我聽說有些安靜的街道發(fā)生過搶劫案,會(huì)有人騎著摩托車搶走你肩上背的包,不過我還沒看到過,所以我覺得住在那里很安全。
A: What about traffic?
交通情況呢?
B: There is a lot of traffic.
交通非常繁忙。

對,街上來往車輛非常多。街上也有很多行人,所以在附近走動(dòng)很困難。不過那里有很多令人激動(dòng)的事情,而且在外面觀看人潮也很有意思。
A: It doesn't sound like a quiet neighborhood.
聽起來并不是個(gè)安靜的社區(qū)。
B: No, it's not quiet at all. Unless you go into the park, and then it's very quiet.
一點(diǎn)兒也不安靜。除非你去公園,公園里非常安靜。
A: How often do you go to the park?
你多久去一次公園?
B: Almost every night. Every night after work I'll take a walk in the park and there's a pond with a water display with music, so it can be very soothing.
我?guī)缀趺刻焱砩隙既?。每天晚上下班后我都?huì)去公園里散步,公園里有個(gè)池塘,那里會(huì)放音樂,讓人感覺很舒服。
