我很好。
Todd: Ann, could you introduce yourself and tell people where you are from?
安,你能介紹一下自己來(lái)自哪里嗎?
Ann: Yeah, my name's Ann Hutchingson and I'm from Montreal, Canada. And right now I'm an English teacher in Tokyo, Japan.
好的,我的名字叫做Ann Hutchingson,我來(lái)自加拿大蒙特利爾市。我現(xiàn)在在日本東京做一名英語(yǔ)老師。
Todd: Mm. OK. What's Montreal like?
好的,蒙特利爾市是什么樣子的?
Ann: Montreal is a really nice city. It's just very cold in the wintertime. It is..uh, it has four seasons, and the nicest season is the summertime because it's really warm and people play a lot of sports, and there are some parks in Montreal, and you can go swimming and hiking and biking and rollerblading. It's a very interesing city.
蒙特利爾市是一個(gè)很好的城市。只是那里冬天很冷。那里一年分為四個(gè)季節(jié),最棒的季節(jié)是夏天,因?yàn)橄奶旌軠嘏藗儠?huì)出來(lái)運(yùn)動(dòng),蒙特利爾有許多公園,你可以游泳,徒步游玩,騎自行車(chē)或滑旱冰。蒙特利爾市一個(gè)有趣的城市。
Todd: Wow! Were you born in Montreal?
哇!你在蒙特利爾出生嗎?
Ann: I was born in Montreal and I can speak two languages. English is my first language but I also studied French in high school.
我在蒙特利爾出生,我能說(shuō)兩種語(yǔ)言。英語(yǔ)是我的第一語(yǔ)言,但我在高中還學(xué)了法語(yǔ)。
Todd: So, were you in a submersion program, or all your subjects in French.
法語(yǔ)是你的輔修課程嗎,還是主課?
Ann: No, I went to an English high school but a lot of people in Montreal are in immersion programs.
不,我上的是一所英語(yǔ)教學(xué)高中,但蒙特利爾有很多都是浸入式教育。
Todd: OK. Since you learned French, what do you think is the best way to learn language?
好的,你學(xué)了法語(yǔ)后,你覺(jué)得學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)最好的方法是什么?
Ann: I think that you have to like learning another language and if you have a possitive attitude then you can find learning another language fun rather than stressful so I think that I had a few French friends and we would practice and they would be very patient and I liked the fact that I couldcommunicate using another language cause then you have another identity.
我想你一定很喜歡學(xué)習(xí)其他語(yǔ)言,如果用積極的態(tài)度去面對(duì)其他語(yǔ)言,就會(huì)覺(jué)得其他語(yǔ)言很有趣而不會(huì)覺(jué)得壓力大,因此我認(rèn)為我有一些說(shuō)法語(yǔ)的朋友,我們一起練習(xí)語(yǔ)言,他們很有耐心,我很喜歡能夠用另一種語(yǔ)言交流,感覺(jué)有了另外一種身份。
Todd: You have your French identity?
感覺(jué)有了法國(guó)人的身份?
Ann: I do.
是的。
Todd: OK. So what's your name in French?
好的,那么你的法語(yǔ)名字叫什么?
Ann: "Mono e Ann"
“Mono e Ann”。
Todd: Wow! I need to get myself a French name?
我!我也應(yīng)該取個(gè)法語(yǔ)名字?
Ann: Todd.
托德。

老兄,你來(lái)自俄勒岡州,你本應(yīng)該是個(gè)環(huán)境保護(hù)主義者!
Tim: I know. I know. But there're good. One rule we had on our road trips was any, any lake or big body of water we had to stop and swim in. It was a good thing to do.
我知道。但那車(chē)真的很好。自駕游有一條規(guī)則就是,遇到湖泊或是積水很深的地方我們一定會(huì)停車(chē),在水里游一會(huì)兒。這么做感覺(jué)很棒。
Todd: Well, you live in Japan now. Do you ever do road trips in Japan?

在日本自駕游行動(dòng)有些不自如,我還需要更多的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。在美國(guó)自駕游就很常見(jiàn),因?yàn)楹芏嗳硕歼@么做。
