對話一
M: Hey, Mary, you said New York was very diverse. What parts or neighborhoods do you like?
男:嘿,瑪麗,你說紐約是個多元化的城市。那你最喜歡紐約的什么地方?
W: I really like Soho because there's lots of great shopping to do. There are really small shops, cute restaurants and cafes. And if I'm lucky sometimes when I'm walking around or eating I see movie stars. It was pretty cool.
女:我非常喜歡Soho商業(yè)區(qū),那里真的是個購物的好去處。Soho區(qū)有很多小商店、餐廳和咖啡廳。在Soho區(qū)閑逛或吃飯,運(yùn)氣好的話還能看見電影明星。真的是太酷了。
M: I always hear about Central Park. Can you tell me something about Central Park?
男:我經(jīng)常聽人提起中央公園。你能跟我聊聊中央公園嗎?
W: Yeah, Central Park is obviously in the middle of Manhattan. It's really big and people go and play sports or they just hang out and walk around. Cars are not allowed, and in the summertime you see a lot of bikers.
女:中央公園位于曼哈頓市中心。中央公園非常大,大家去那里參加體育活動,或者散步。中央公園禁止汽車入內(nèi),所以夏天你會看到很多人在中央公園騎自行車。
M: How big is the park?
男:中央公園到底有多大?
W: It's really big. It goes from I think 56th Street to 110th, so it's pretty large.
女:非常大。大概從紐約第56街到第110街那么大,真的特別大。
M: What about other parts?
男:那其他的地方呢?
W: I lived right near Harlem and I actually really like Harlem because you get a very neighborhood feeling. You see people walking on the street talking to each other. Everyone knows each other. Everyone cares about each other.
女:我住在哈萊姆區(qū)附近,我非常喜歡哈萊姆區(qū),那里的鄰里關(guān)系十分融洽。人們在大街上侃侃而談。大家彼此熟悉,相互關(guān)心。
M: Is there any area you don't really like?
男:有沒有你不喜歡的地方?
W: Because I am from New York City, I really don't like going to Times Square. I feel like it's very commercial and touristy. But I guess for tourists it's very exciting. There's all these lights, and it's probably very exciting, the side street vendors, the musicians and all these things. It would be exciting for tourists, but I try to avoid it.
女:我來自紐約,所以不怎么喜歡去時代廣場。我覺得時代廣場過于商業(yè)化而且游客密集。但很多游客喜歡那里。我認(rèn)為,時代廣場的絢爛燈光、街邊商販還有音樂演奏都會讓游客興奮不已。時代廣場對游客來說可能是個不錯的地方,但是我會盡量不去那里。
