在明尼蘇達(dá)州的冬天里一般會(huì)怎么取暖

今天的這段對話，在討論冬天，
 
在明尼蘇達(dá)州的冬天里一般會(huì)怎么取暖
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: So, Mary, are you from Minnesota?
 
瑪麗，你是來自明尼蘇達(dá)州嗎？
 
B: I am. I lived here all my life.
 
是的，我一生都生活在這里。
 
A: Wow. It's a great place but it's really cold this time of year.
 
哇！這里真是個(gè)很棒的地方，不過每年的這個(gè)時(shí)候都特別冷。
 
B: It is, but if you've lived here a long time you get used to it. A lot of people from the South get really chilly when the temperature gets around 50 and right now that's, that's actually sounding pretty good because a Minnesotan will probably just be wearing a lightweight jacket when it is about 50 degrees, but we're OK with that. You know it gets to be kind of fun when you have a big snow fall and you go outside with all your neighbors, pushing cars out of the snow drift and kind of enjoying it that way so we have a lot of fun with it being cold and snowy and you have to make some fun on the inside of your house too, you know. A lot of people have fireplaces, so there's a way to enjoy being inside for long stretches of time and opposed to just kind of, I guess, being locked in and not being able to enjoy house or that kind of thing.
 
的確是，但是如果在這里生活了很長時(shí)間，你就會(huì)習(xí)慣的。許多從南部來的人在溫度低于50華氏度以后，就會(huì)覺得特別冷，而現(xiàn)在的溫度其實(shí)非常好，因?yàn)槊髂崽K達(dá)州人在50華氏度的時(shí)候會(huì)穿著超輕量風(fēng)衣，我們覺得這個(gè)溫度還好。你知道，在下大雪的時(shí)候會(huì)有很多樂趣，你可以去外面，和鄰居們一起把陷在雪堆里的車輛推出來，其實(shí)那樣也很享受，所以其實(shí)寒冷和下雪也會(huì)給我們帶來樂趣，而且你在室內(nèi)也可以享受到樂趣，你知道，有許多人家里都有壁爐，所以這就是可以長時(shí)間享受室內(nèi)生活的方式，而不是過那種被關(guān)起來無法享受室內(nèi)樂趣的生活。
 
A: What do you do to warm up in the winter?
 
你冬天都怎么取暖？
 
B: Well, there's always sweaters. You know we like our sweaters here, that keeps us warm. Actually, you can get pretty warm outside. A lot of people enjoy cross-country skiing which I do from time-to-time and the more you exercise outside, you can actually get pretty warm doing it even though the temperature is cold, but as far as being indoors, that's when, I think that's when people start really kind of researching their hobbies, things they like to do, that's activity that will keep you busy while you are inside the house for such long stretches and things.
 
冬天都是穿毛衣來保暖。我們喜歡這些毛衣，它們讓我們很暖和。實(shí)際上，在室外也可以很溫暖。有許多人喜歡越野滑雪，我就偶爾會(huì)去越野滑雪，在室外你運(yùn)動(dòng)得越多，就會(huì)感到越暖和，即使溫度很低也能感到溫暖，至于室內(nèi)，我覺得那是人們可以開始培養(yǎng)興趣愛好的時(shí)間，他們可以做他們喜歡做的事情，而這些活動(dòng)會(huì)讓你長時(shí)間待在室內(nèi)時(shí)保持忙碌的狀態(tài)。
 
A: Yeah, that's true. I like to drink hot chocolate when I get cold. Do you like hot chocolate?
 
沒錯(cuò)。我感到冷的時(shí)候喜歡喝熱巧克力。你喜歡熱巧克力嗎？
 
B: Yeah, that will always help, and tea, really enjoying my tea as well, but there's nothing like, you know, hot chocolate and maybe roasting something in the fireplace and making smores.
 
喜歡，那很有幫助，還有茶，我也喜歡喝茶，不過你知道，沒有什么比熱巧克力，然后再加上壁爐上烤點(diǎn)棉花糖點(diǎn)心之類的東西更能讓人感到溫暖的了。
 
A: That sounds great.
 
聽起來真棒。
 
B: Yeah, that would be kind of fun.
 
沒錯(cuò)，那也是一種樂趣。
 
A: Very cozy.
 
非常愜意。
