托德:馬麗恩,你怎么看我們正在經(jīng)歷的冬天?
Marion: The winter at the moment, it's very cold, isn't it, but most of the time it's quite sunny as well. It's dry at least, so I quite like winter days that are sunny like today. I was outside and even though at first it seems quite cold, afterwards, with the sun we kind of warmed up very quickly.
馬麗恩:目前是冬季,天氣非常冷,是吧?不過大部分時間都是陽光明媚的。至少天氣很干燥,所以我很喜歡像今天這樣的晴朗冬日。在外面的時候雖然一開始非常冷,但是因?yàn)橛刑?,我們很快就會暖和起來的?/p>
Todd: Yeah, it was nice today, but winter is not my favorite season. No, I want winter to be over very quickly. But soon spring will be here and spring is good. I like spring, and then summer. I love summer. Summer is my favorite season.
托德:對,今天天氣非常好,不過冬季并不是我最喜歡的季節(jié)。我希望冬天快點(diǎn)結(jié)束。不過春天馬上就要到了,春天非常好。我喜歡春天,春天之后就是夏天。我也喜歡夏天。夏天是我最愛的季節(jié)。
Marion: Really? Even when it's really, really hot?
馬麗恩:真的嗎?即使夏天非常非常熱?
Todd: Oh, I love it! Last year, it was really, really hot and everybody, every day would complain, and say it was so hot, but I loved it. The hotter the better. I think it's very relaxing and it calms me down actually. I feel calm and very relaxed in very hot weather.
托德:哦,我喜歡!去年夏天真的非常非常熱,所有人每天都在抱怨,說天氣太熱了,不過我很喜歡。越熱越好。我認(rèn)為那令人很放松,而且可以讓我平靜下來。我在非常熱的天氣里會感到平靜和放松。
Marion: I quite like hot weather as well, but last summer, the summer you are talking about, I had to go on a very crowded train every morning, so when you have a crowded train, and it's very, very hot, it ends up being quite disgusting, piled in against all these sweaty people, so I didn't like last summer for that reason.
馬麗恩:我也很喜歡炎熱的天氣,不過你剛才談到的夏天,就是去年夏天,我不得不每天早上去坐非常擁擠的火車,而擁擠的火車?yán)镎娴姆浅7浅?,而且讓人感覺很惡心,要和滿身是汗的人擠來擠去,因?yàn)檫@個理由,我很不喜歡去年夏天。
Todd: Well, what's your favorite season?
托德:嗯,那你最喜歡的季節(jié)是什么?
Marion: Ah, autumn is my favorite season, cause I think, because every autumn I start at school. It always feels like a new beginning, time of year, for me, more so than January. I feel like September is a good time to change things and a good time to start new things, and also the trees are beautiful and the weather is quite mild and nice. How about you? What's your favorite season?
馬麗恩:啊,秋天是我最愛的季節(jié),我想是因?yàn)槊總€秋天都是開學(xué)的時候。這讓人感覺是一年中的新的開始,對我來說,相比于1月份,秋天才是新的開始。我感覺九月是作出改變的最好時機(jī),也是開始新事物的最好時機(jī),而且樹木也很漂亮,天氣溫和又怡人。你呢?你最喜歡的季節(jié)是什么?
Todd: Well, it's probably a tie between summer and fall, for what you just said, I agree. The fall has great weather, the trees are beautiful, it's a good time to be outside. It rarely rains, and I hate the rain and plus, my birthday is in October, and Halloween which is a fun holiday.
托德:嗯,可能是夏天到秋天之間的那個階段,你剛剛說的我很贊同。秋天是非常棒的季節(jié),樹木很漂亮,是適合外出的好時節(jié)。秋天很少下雨,我討厭下雨,還有,我的生日在十月,而且有趣的節(jié)日萬圣節(jié)也在秋天。
Marion: Right, that's good.
馬麗恩:沒錯,那真好。
