實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語情景對(duì)話：VW Buses 大眾面包車

Todd: Simon, you said your family had a volkswagen van.

托德：西蒙，你說過你家有輛大眾面包車。

Simon: That's right. It was awesome.

西蒙：沒錯(cuò)。它棒極了。

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

托德：哇，真酷。你知道，我上高中的時(shí)候也有過一輛大眾面包車。

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

西蒙：嗯，那車非常棒，是吧?

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

托德：嗯，伙計(jì)，我愛我的大眾面包車。

Simon: Well, why?

西蒙：嗯，怎么說?

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.

托德：因?yàn)槲易鲞\(yùn)動(dòng)，當(dāng)時(shí)我打棒球、打籃球、踢足球，我所有的隊(duì)友都會(huì)坐我的面包車往返于訓(xùn)練場地和比賽場地，非常的方便。我當(dāng)時(shí)就像是球隊(duì)的巴士司機(jī)。

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

西蒙：是啊，可是你說“巴士”。你們是稱之為面包車還是巴士?

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

托德：實(shí)際上，我們加州稱之為大眾面包車。那你們是叫巴士還是面包車?

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.

西蒙：我覺得哪種叫法都可以，兩種都可以。我家里有一輛露營車。(真的嗎!)那輛車有一個(gè)小冰箱，一張桌子，一張床，車的頂部還有一個(gè)可以彈出的床，就像閣樓一樣。

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

托德：哇!那真是太棒了。

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

西蒙：那輛野營車至少可以容納四個(gè)人舒適地待在里面。非常棒。

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.

托德：實(shí)際上，我的車不能用作野營車。我的車后面有一塊平坦的區(qū)域，雖然沒有床，不過有一個(gè)小水槽，不過我的車并沒有連接供水設(shè)備，所以我從來沒有用過那個(gè)水槽。我只是開車去上學(xué)。

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.

西蒙：是啊，我高中時(shí)最好的朋友也有一輛面包車。(是啊!)他在那里非常受歡迎，因?yàn)樗能嚳梢宰芏嗳恕?/p>

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

托德：我的面包車是純白色的。你的是什么顏色的?

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.

西蒙：哦，我父母的車也是白色的。我朋友的車是黑白的，前面還有骷髏標(biāo)志。就像輛海盜車，不是海盜船，而是海盜車。(真酷!)你知道，那在當(dāng)時(shí)非常棒。

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

托德：是啊，是啊。實(shí)際上，我有很多關(guān)于那輛面包車的美好記，我希望現(xiàn)在我還能有一輛那樣的車。

Simon: Yeah, me too!

西蒙：是啊，我也是!

Todd: Yeah! Does your family still have it?

托德：對(duì)啊!那你家里還有這種車嗎?

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

西蒙：沒有了。我想，他們認(rèn)為是時(shí)候要有新的發(fā)展了。

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.

托德：是啊!我把我的面包車賣掉是因?yàn)槲矣X得不久之后它就不再這么酷了。那輛車我開了三年，之后我想要輛跑車，所以我就賣掉了那輛面包車。我有點(diǎn)后悔，不過我想這是很正常的事情。

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

西蒙：當(dāng)然了，所以有人都喜歡舊車，不是嗎?
