英語(yǔ)訪談對(duì)話 421 VW Buses

　　Simon: That's right. It was awesome.

　　Todd: Wow, that's cool. You know, when I was in high school, I had a Volkswagen van.

　　Simon: Yeah, they're pretty cool aren't they.

　　Todd: Ah, man, I loved my Volkswagen Van.

　　Simon: Well, why?

　　Todd: Well, because I played sports and so I played baseball, basketball, football and all of my teammates would get in my van and I would drive us to and from practice, or to games, and so it was very convenient. I was like the little bus driver for the team.

　　Simon: Yeah, well, you said "bus". Is that, did you call it a van or a bus?

　　Todd: Actually, in California we call it the Volkswagen Bus. Yeah, do you call it the bus or the van?

　　Simon: I think that either was OK, or both were OK. Yeah, my family had the camperized van. (Really!) Which had little, which had a refrigerator and a table and a bed, and a pop-up top to fit, to fit another bed, like a loft.

　　Todd: Wow! Yeah, that's pretty cool.

　　Simon: At least, uh, at least four people quite comfortably in a camper van. Pretty cool.

　　Todd: Yeah, actually, mine didn't have the camper. It had a flat area in back of the van, but not a bed, and it did have a small sink, although I never had water hooked up to my van, so I never used it. I just used it for school, so.

　　Simon: Yeah, my best friend had a van in high school as well. (Yeah!) and he was really popular there because he could fit a lot of people in.

　　Todd: So my van was all white. What color was yours?

　　Simon: Ah, my parents' van was, was also, was also white. My friend's van had, was black and white and had a skull on the front. Yeah, so it looked like a a pirate van, or pirate bus, not a pirate ship, but a pirate van. (Cool!) It was pretty cool, at the time. You know.

　　Todd: Yeah. Yeah. I actually, I have many nice memories of my van and I wish I still had one today.

　　Simon: Yeah, me too!

　　Todd: Yeah! Does your family still have it?

　　Simon: No, they don't. Ah, time to move on, I guess. They thought.

　　Todd: Yeah! I think I sold my van because I didn't think it was cool after awhile. I had it for three years and then I wanted a nice sports car, so I got rid of it. Yeah, I kind of regret it but I guess that's just normal.

　　Simon: Of course, everybody likes their old cars, don't they.
