杰夫：你來自哪里?

Tim: I'm from Oregon. It's right above California. It's on the West Coast of America.

蒂姆：我來自俄勒岡州。俄勒岡州位于加利福尼亞州北面。是美國西海岸的一個州。

Jeff: So the State of Oregon.

杰夫：俄勒岡州。

Tim: It's on the West Coast between California and Washington.

蒂姆：是美國西海岸的一個州，位于加州和華盛頓州之間。

Jeff: So you're neighbor states, say California in the south, do you guys get along? Are you good neighbors?

杰夫：加州在俄勒岡州的南面，這兩個是相鄰的州，你們兩個州的人相處的好嗎?你們是相處不錯的鄰居嗎?

Tim: Well, we get along a little bit with Northern California. They have similar thinking. But Souther California, they kind of have different thinking. They think a bit more about money. And also, they are moving a lot up into Oregon, and they have different thinking and they are moving into Oregon and they are kind of changing things.

蒂姆：我們和北加州的人相處的不錯。我們有相似的想法。不過南加州的人和我們有不同的想法。他們更看重錢。而且他們中有很多人搬到了俄勒岡州居住，因?yàn)樗麄兊南敕ú煌运麄儼醽硪院?，改變了一些事情?/p>

Jeff: So do you get a lot.... are you patriotic towards your own state of Oregon?

杰夫：那你們……你們愛你們的家鄉(xiāng)州俄勒岡州嗎?

Tim: A little bit. We just like to keep things the way they are just a little bit. Californians move up because they can sell their homes in California for a lot of money. They move up there and then they tend to be more conservative.

蒂姆：有點(diǎn)。我們希望維持現(xiàn)狀。可是加州人搬了過來，他們高價賣出了他們在加州的房子。他們搬來俄勒岡州生活，他們更保守一些。

Jeff: So, if I was to meet you and call you a Californian, would you get mad at me?

杰夫：如果我見到你以后稱你是加州人，你會不會生我的氣?

Tim: I wouldn't get mad at you, no. I would think that he must think I was from Northern California.

蒂姆：我不會生你的氣。我會想你一定是認(rèn)為我來自北加州。

Jeff: So do the Californians feel the same way about the people from Oregon? Is that a mutual emotion to dislike the Oregon people as well?

杰夫：那加州人也和俄勒岡州人持一樣的想法嗎?加州人會不會也不喜歡俄勒岡州人?

Tim: I don't think so because there's been a lot of them moving up. You know they move up there to retire and they move their kids up there, so I think they like Oregon and Oregonians tend to be pretty friendly.

蒂姆：我不這么想，因?yàn)橛泻芏嗳税岬蕉砝諏輥砩?。他們在退休后搬來俄勒岡州，也會把孩子帶過來，所以我認(rèn)為他們喜歡俄勒岡州，而且俄勒岡州人一向很友好。

Jeff: And how about the North, your northern neighbor? Washington?

杰夫：那你們北邊的鄰居呢?華盛頓州怎么樣?

Tim: Washington and Oregon are pretty similar as far a culturally.

蒂姆：華盛頓州和俄勒岡州在文化上很相似。

Jeff: So if I call you a Washington — if I say your are from Washington you don't mind as much as being called Californian?

杰夫：那如果我說你來自華盛頓州，你是不是不會像被稱為加州人那樣介意?

Tim: Ah, that's true. Yeah, that's for sure.

蒂姆：嗯，沒錯。的確是這樣。
