實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語情景對(duì)話：Living for today not tomorrow 活在當(dāng)下
Adam: Hi Sarah.
亞當(dāng)：嗨，薩拉。
Sarah: Hi.
薩拉：嗨。
Adam: Today we're talking about bucket list. Things you want to do before you die. Do you have anything?
亞當(dāng)：今天我們來談?wù)勥z愿清單。就是你在去世之前想做的事情。你有什么想完成的事嗎?
Sarah: Actually, no. I don't have a bucket list. And the reason why is because I've already done or I'm currently doing the things that I want to do. In addition, I like to live in the now, so like the present, like what's happening. So I really don't think of the distant future very much, just like what's in front of me. For example, I'm going to Singapore soon, in about 10 days. And I'm really looking forward to that and the new adventure and things that I'll get to do there
.薩拉：實(shí)際上，并沒有。我沒有遺愿清單。原因是我已經(jīng)完成了我想做的事情，或者我正在達(dá)成我的目標(biāo)。另外，我喜歡活在當(dāng)下，享受當(dāng)下，享受目前的狀態(tài)。所以我不太考慮遙遠(yuǎn)的未來，只考慮眼下的事情。比如，我10天以后要去新加坡。我非常期待這趟旅行，我期待著新的冒險(xiǎn)，期待我在那里要做的事情。
Adam: What sort of things do you have in mind to explore in Singapore?
亞當(dāng)：你有想在新加坡體驗(yàn)的事情嗎?
Sarah: First of all, swing dancing. My favorite kind of dance currently is Lindy hop swing dancing. And Singapore is one of the places in Asia that has several swing dance meet-up groups. So I look forward to dancing several of the nights while I'm there, but also trying all of the delicious food and just exploring a country that I've never been to.
薩拉：首先，我要嘗試搖擺舞?，F(xiàn)在我最喜歡的舞蹈就是搖擺舞。新加坡是亞洲其中一個(gè)有擺攤舞聚會(huì)的地方。所以我在新加坡會(huì)有幾個(gè)晚上去跳搖擺舞，當(dāng)然我也會(huì)品嘗當(dāng)?shù)孛朗?，在這個(gè)我沒去過的國家參觀游覽。
Adam: Wow, great. What are some of the things that you have wanted to do in the past that you have accomplished already?
亞當(dāng)：哇哦，真不錯(cuò)。那有什么事是你之前想做而現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)完成的?
Sarah: I think living in foreign countries. I've already lived in two foreign countries and I plan on living in foreign countries probably the rest of my life. So that's a big one. And I think just everyday things, like finishing college and getting two master's degrees and being able to support myself. It's all things that are important to me.
薩拉：我想在外國生活。我已經(jīng)在兩個(gè)國家生活過了，我計(jì)劃余生一直在外國生活。這是一件大事。像日常生活、完成大學(xué)學(xué)業(yè)、獲得兩個(gè)碩士學(xué)位、能養(yǎng)活自己，這些對(duì)我來說都是重要的事情。
Adam: Yeah. Those are really great things. What are your two degrees in?
亞當(dāng)：好。那些都是很重要的事情。你獲得了哪兩個(gè)學(xué)位?
Sarah: My first degree is in teaching English to speakers of other languages. This degree allows me to be able to live in other countries and to teach English. And then my other degree is in global studies. So it's like an inter-cultural degree where I learned about different cultures and religions.
薩拉：我第一個(gè)學(xué)位使我可以教母語非英語的人學(xué)習(xí)英語。這個(gè)學(xué)位讓我能在其他國家生活，可以教授英語。我另一個(gè)學(xué)位是全球研究。這是一個(gè)與跨文化有關(guān)的學(xué)位，我要學(xué)習(xí)不同的文化和宗教。
Adam: That's really great. Have you ever eaten anything exotic or had any really interesting experiences that most people might not have had when you're traveling to these different places and fulfilling your goals?
亞當(dāng)：那真不錯(cuò)。你在其他國家，完成你的目標(biāo)時(shí)，有沒有吃過大部分人都沒吃過的食物，或是經(jīng)歷過其他人沒經(jīng)歷過的有趣的事情?
Sarah: I've definitely eaten a lot of different things, most of which I'm not really sure what a lot of it was. The strangest probably – jellyfish, maybe. I'd also gotten a chance to ride a lot of different animals. I've ridden a camel, donkey, horse, elephant, and even an ostrich. So that's pretty exciting.
薩拉：我吃過很多美食，其中大部分食物我都不知道是什么。我吃過的最奇怪的食物可能是水母。我還騎過很多動(dòng)物。我騎過駱駝、驢、馬、大象、還有鴕鳥。那令人非常興奮。
Adam: Yeah. That's really interesting. Have you done any other extreme activities?
亞當(dāng)：好。那真有意思。你還嘗試過其他極限運(yùn)動(dòng)嗎?
Sarah: Yeah. I've been skydiving before. I've been volcano boarding. I'm trying to think what else I have done. I haven't been bungee jumping. I think that's probably one of the only ones that I haven't done as of right now. But I really have no desire to do that one, so.
薩拉：有。我體驗(yàn)過高空跳傘。我還嘗試過火山滑板。我在想我還嘗試過什么事情。我沒嘗試過蹦極。我想那可能是目前我沒有體驗(yàn)過的運(yùn)動(dòng)之一。不過我并不想體驗(yàn)蹦極。
Adam: Wow. That's great. You've lived a good life.
亞當(dāng)：哇哦。不錯(cuò)。你的生活很美好。
