美語情景對話 第1213期:Are airports fun or stressful for you? 機場是有意思的地方還是有壓力的地方
Tlotlo: Hi, my name is Tlotlo and I am from Botswana.
特羅特洛:嗨,我是特羅特洛,來自博茨瓦納。Resse: And I'm Resse from Botswana as well.
里斯:我是里斯,同樣來自博茨瓦納。Tlotlo: And our question is are airports fun or stressful for you?
特羅特洛:我們要討論的話題是,機場對你來說是有意思的地方還是有壓力的地方?
Resse: I think they are fun for me.
里斯:我認爲機場是有意思的地方。Tlotlo: Fun?
特羅特洛:有意思嗎?Resse: It's exciting going along huge terminals, seeing different airlines and different products from all over the world.
里斯:在巨大的航站樓裏走來走去令人很興奮,而且還能看到世界各地的飛機和產品。Tlotlo: Well please explain to me where the fun part is?
特羅特洛:請解釋一下哪裏有意思了?Resse: I think exploring is a fun part.
里斯:我認爲探索很有意思。Tlotlo: Exploring? What's there to explore in an airport?
特羅特洛:探索?在機場能探索什麼?Resse: Explore all the different goods, the terminal, the thrill of getting lost also is kind of cool.
里斯:探索各種不同的物品、探索航站樓,而且迷路的恐懼感也很酷。Tlotlo: Oh yeah, I get lost so many times. actually I think it's stressful for me because imagine getting from one terminal to the other and sometimes they are very, very far from each other and getting there is always a hassle for me and I almost missed my flight this one time. Actually I missed it and then I almost missed the second one. So they are very stressful for me. I cannot imagine having fun at an airport, never.
特羅特洛:哦,我在機場迷路過很多次。實際上,我認爲機場令我感到有壓力,想象一下從一個航站樓去往另一個航站樓,有時兩個航站樓的距離非常遠,對我來說這是件很麻煩的事兒,我有一次差點就錯過航班了。準確的說,我錯過了一個航班,然後差點錯過第二個航班。所以機場讓我感到很有壓力。我無法想象在機場享受樂趣,永遠無法想象。Resse: Wasn't that exciting, I mean that your whole week could just be put off by missing one flight?
里斯:如果錯過了航班,那你一整週的行程都要推遲,那不是令人很激動嗎?Tlotlo: No, actually it was scary, it wasn't exciting, there's no thrill in that, it was just scary. And a very cold airport and you are just wondering oh gosh I just missed my flight, what next, that's very scary and it was very scary for me and it was not fun at all. I had no thrill whatsoever from that experience. No.
特羅特洛:不,那很可怕,完全不是激動,完全沒有興奮感,那是可怕的事情。你會在一個非常冷的機場想,天哪,我錯過了航班,接下來會怎麼樣,那太可怕了,對我來說那非常可怕,一點樂趣也沒有。這種經歷完全沒有讓我激動。完全沒有。譯文屬僅供學習交流使用,未經許可請勿轉載
