英文原版對(duì)話1000個(gè):746 Oregon Beauty
Jeff: So where are you from?
Tim: I'm from Oregon.
Jeff: Oregon.
Tim: Yeah. It's on the West Coast of America, above California and below Washington. It has the coast. It has the mountains and a lot of different regions really.
Jeff: Really, so which is your favorite of those for regions, which do you like the best?
Tim: Well, that's difficult. I like the coast a lot. The coast of Oregon is really, really rocky. It's really natural. In Washington it's really, really developed and in California as well, but in Oregon it's really, really natural - really rocky. There's beaches and you go out there and it's just nature.
Jeff: Swimming? Fishing?
Tim: It's cold so there's not a lot of swimming. There's surfing. There's really good fishing. People fish. They take boats out. It's really nice, but...
Jeff: Sounds good. So you have the ocean and then you can move inland to the woods.
Tim: Yeah, from the ocean you move inland and you've got a real green area. In fact, in gets some of the most rain in all of America really.
Jeff: So it is a rain forest.
Tim: Well, there are areas that are considered a rain forest. One of the biggest rain forests in America is there, but it's real wet, real green and really mossy. There's moss hanging off the trees. It's beautiful. The greenest place you've ever seen.
Jeff: And then, so you had the beach, the ocean. You had the woodland. Is there any other types of regions or landscapes?
Tim: Well, you got the real green area I talked about and then from there you go to the mountains, and the mountain kind of traps all the rain. On the other side, it's really dry. It's called kind of a dessert region. Lots of cattle ranchers. Real dry. It gets snow. It's good for outdoor sports, but hardly any rain really.
Jeff: And that is mostly, you say farmland?
Tim: Yes. It's farmland. Ranching land.
Jeff: Are there any cowboys?
Tim: There's lots of cowboys, actually. Lots of cowboys. Lots of people think of Oregon as a real liberal area but on the other side of the mountains it's real conservative. So really two types of people.
Jeff: So, you have those three regions. Do you have any big cities?
Tim: We have Portland Oregon. It's a pretty big city. It's got a basketball team. It is a real nice city. It's got good public transportation.
Jeff: So would you like to live in Portland?
Tim: I'd like to live in Portland. It's be OK, but there's two college towns that I think would be really good: Corvalis, Oregon and Eugene, Oregon. Real liberal college towns. They've got really good places to eat and friendly people. A little more liberal and laid-back, so it's my type of place.
Jeff: So that sounds like a pretty good place to live. It has a little bit of everything.
Tim: Yeah, I think so.
Jeff: Maybe I'll move there.
