Conversation Two
對話二
W: How are things going, Roald?
W：羅德，最近怎么樣？
M: Not bad, Jane. I'm involved in several projects and it's a long working day. But I'm used to that so it doesn't bother me too much.
M：不錯，珍。我參與了幾個項目，工作時間很長。但是我已經習慣了，所以我不是很介意。
W: I heard you have moved to a new house in the suburb. How do you like commuting to London every day? Don't you find it strained?
W：我聽說你搬進了郊區的新房子。你覺得每天通勤倫敦怎么樣？你不會覺得很緊張嗎？
M: It was terrible at first, especially getting up before dawn to catch that 6:30 train. But it's bearable now that I' m used to it.
M：開始的時候是很麻煩，特別是為了趕6：30的火車要在黎明前起床。但是既然我已經習慣了它還是可以忍受的。
W: Don't you think it's an awful waste of time? I couldn't bear to spend three hours sitting in a train every day.
W：你不會覺得太浪費時間嗎？我不能忍受每天花3個小時坐在火車上。
M: I used to feel the same as you. But now I quite enjoy it.
M：我以前跟你一樣的感覺。但是我現在很享受。
W: How do you pass the time? Do you bring some work with you to do on the train?
W：你怎么打發時間？你會帶工作在火車上做嗎 ？
M: Ah, that's a good question. In the morning, I just sit in comfort and read the papers to catch up with the news. On the way home at night, I relax with a good book or chat with friends or even have a game of bridge.
M：啊，好問題。早上的時候，我只是舒服地坐著，讀報紙來了解時事。在晚上回家的路上，我會用一本書或者跟朋友聊天甚至打橋牌來放松。
W: I suppose you know lots of people on the train now.
W： 我猜你現在認識火車上的很多人。
M: Yes, I bumped into someone I know on the platform every day. Last week I came across a couple of old school friends and we spent the entire journey in the bar.
M：是的，我每天都會在月臺上碰到我認識的人。上周我偶遇了幾個舊校友，我們整個旅程都在酒吧度過。
W: It sounds like a good club. You never know. I may join it too.
W：聽起來是個不錯的社團。很難說，我也許也會加入。
