常用英文對(duì)話

　　生活環(huán)境不同，人的閱歷也不同，在進(jìn)行英語對(duì)話時(shí)，常用的詞匯也會(huì)有所不同。下面是學(xué)習(xí)啦小編給大家整理的常用英文對(duì)話，供大家參閱!

　　常用英文對(duì)話：The Big Mix

　　Todd: So CleAnn, you're from Trinidad and Tobago and you were saying that your country has a verydiverse multicultural mix?

　　托德：科勒安，你來自特立尼達(dá)和多巴哥，你說過你們國家是多元文化混合的國家。

　　CleAnn: Yes.

　　科勒安：對(duì)。

　　Todd: Can you talk about that?

　　托德：你能詳細(xì)說說嗎?

　　CleAnn: Oh sure. Trinidad and Tobago mostly were made up of people from Africa (African descent) who came as slaves and Indians who came from India...mostly, I think we may also have some from parts of Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, but they came as indentured laborers closer to when slavery was being abolished. These two groups actually make up the two largest ethnic groups in Trinidad. However, there is a lot of mixing. It's very difficult to find someone in Trinidad and Tobago who is extremely, purely of one ethnic group because everyone is sort of mixed. We have also a lot of whites or caucasians who are native to Trinidad and Tobago who speak exactly like me with my Caribbean accent and many people who find it very strange because they will walk around in Trinidad and think that they are tourists but realize that they are actually native Trinidadians. And many also come from Europe to settle in Trinidad after retirement and have their families here so this is how they came to stay here. We have a very large Chinese population and its growing because now the government is encouraging immigrants from China to come in to help us with our development, to build our capital city so we have a lot of Chinese. We have a lot of Colombians, Venezuelans, people coming from South and Central America migrating to Trinidad because Spanish is now being promoted as a second language for Trinidad so street signs in our capital city are in English and Spanish. So with all of this mixing of different people it's very, as I said, very difficult to find a person who is of just one ethnic group and it's reflected in our food, it's reflected in the kind of music we listen to, sometimes in the way we dress. For me, for example, I'm mostly of African descent but my dad is mixed with people from South American ethnicity and Chinese. So, as I said, although I'm mostly African, everybody still has a little bit of something in them.

　　科勒安：哦，好的。特立尼達(dá)和多巴哥人口主要由來自非洲(非洲裔)的奴隸和印度人組成，也有孟加拉國人、巴基斯坦人、斯里蘭卡人，這些人是作為契約勞動(dòng)力來到特立尼達(dá)和多巴哥的，他們到來時(shí)奴隸制已經(jīng)快被廢除。這兩個(gè)群體組成了特立尼達(dá)兩大少數(shù)族群。不過基本上是混合族裔。在特立尼達(dá)和多巴哥很難找到純種人，因?yàn)楦髯逡嶂g是相互混合的。特立尼達(dá)和多巴哥也有本土白種人，這些人的口音和我的加勒比口音非常像，很多人認(rèn)為這很奇怪，因?yàn)樗麄円詾檫@些人是游客，結(jié)果卻發(fā)現(xiàn)這些都是本土特立尼達(dá)和多巴哥人。也有很多歐洲人在退休后來到特立尼達(dá)定居，因?yàn)樗麄冊(cè)谶@里有家人，所以他們就留了下來。我們國家的中國人也很多，而且人數(shù)還在不斷增加，因?yàn)檎膭?lì)中國移民幫助我們發(fā)展、建造我們的首都，所以我們國家有很多中國人。我們國家也有很多哥倫比亞裔和委內(nèi)瑞拉裔等來自中南美洲的移民，因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在西班牙語是特立尼達(dá)的第二語言，我們首都街頭有很多標(biāo)志都是用英語和西班牙語寫的。我剛才提到過，因?yàn)楦髯逡峄旌显谝黄穑院茈y在我們國家找到純種人，這一點(diǎn)也反映在我們的食物、音樂和我們的服裝上。舉個(gè)例子，我基本上是非洲裔，而我爸爸是南美和中國的混血。所以，如我剛才所說，雖然我基本上是非洲血統(tǒng)，但是所有人身上都或多或少有其他族裔的血統(tǒng)。

　　常用英文對(duì)話：Long Distance Relationships

　　Alex: So how do you feel about long distance relationships?

　　亞歷克斯：你怎么看遠(yuǎn)距離戀愛?

　　Maria: Not that good. I had two relationships by now and both of them ended after me going somewhere. First time I was in Denmark but like I lived on a school in another city and while I was there for four months like I think two months after I went home to him and broke up and then came back to the school and just didn't really care. And then the second time I went traveling and I missed him so much and I came back and realized that there was nothing left. I'd lost everything while I was away so I don't, after one month, after two months, I think it just doesn't work for me if it's not really special.

　　瑪麗亞：不太好。我談過兩次戀愛，這兩次戀情都是在我搬到其他地方以后結(jié)束的。第一次戀情，當(dāng)時(shí)我在丹麥，我住在另一座城市的學(xué)校里，我在那里待了四個(gè)月的時(shí)間，我記得應(yīng)該是兩個(gè)月以后，我回家去和他分手，然后回到學(xué)校繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)，當(dāng)時(shí)我并沒有那么在乎。第二次，我在旅行的時(shí)候非常想他，我回來以后發(fā)現(xiàn)什么都沒留下。我離開的時(shí)候失去了一切，我認(rèn)為，在一兩個(gè)月以后，如果不是那么在乎我，那就不適合我。

　　Alex: Yeah, I guess you're kind of like me. I have to see the person.

　　瑪麗亞：今年夏天嗎?

　　Alex: Yeah, this recent summer and like Skype is just not enough. Do you know what I mean? You can see the person, you can talk to them, you know you can kiss the camera if you want but it's not...

　　亞歷克斯：對(duì)，就是夏天，用Skype視頻通話根本不夠。你懂我的意思嗎?你可以見到那個(gè)人，你們可以聊天，如果你想你也可以親吻鏡頭，可是……

　　Maria: If you want.

　　瑪麗亞：如果你想。

　　Alex: You know it's not the same but that's not to say I don't think, some people can do it.

　　亞歷克斯：你知道那并不一樣，不過我知道，有人可以做到。

　　Maria: I figure if it's a very, like if the relationship is very, it's very passionate',event)">passionate or you've been going on for a long time because both of my relationships were under one year I think. The first one was one year and the second one was half a year. So if we're used to staying together then I think you can work it out. I'm just too impatient.

　　瑪麗亞：我想，如果一段戀愛充滿激情，而且戀愛關(guān)系維持了很長時(shí)間，是可以做到的，不過我的兩段戀情都沒有超過一年就結(jié)束了。第一段戀情維持了一年，第二段只維持了半年。如果我們習(xí)慣于待在一起，那是可以堅(jiān)持下去的。我太沒有耐心了。

　　Alex: Yeah, I guess under a year you haven't really learned to depend on the other person all the time.

　　亞歷克斯：對(duì)，我想不到一年的時(shí)間，你們還沒有學(xué)會(huì)要一直互相依靠。

　　Maria: Exactly.

　　瑪麗亞：沒錯(cuò)。

　　Alex: Or...

　　亞歷克斯：或者……

　　Maria: Still going by the passion and if you can't see the person every day or like whenever you want, then the passion just slowly fades.

　　瑪麗亞：至于熱情，如果你們不能每天都見面，或者不能隨時(shí)見面，那熱情也會(huì)漸漸消退的。
