(海倫和鮑勃在電話中交談。)
Helen:You have been in New York for a long time. How do you like living there?
海倫:你已經(jīng)在紐約待了很長時間了。你覺得住在這里怎么樣?
Bob:It's great. I really love it.
鮑勃:很好。我真的非常喜歡這里。
Helen:But I heard that the local traffic was terrible and almost everyone drove too fast.
海倫:但是我聽說那里的交通很差,每個人開車都很快。
Bob:Oh, you will get used to it very soon if you come.
鮑勃:哦,如果你來了很快就會適應(yīng)的。
Helen:I also heard the streets were dirty.
海倫:我還聽說街道很臟。
Bob:They used to be, but the city has improved a lot since I came here a few years ago.
鮑勃:以前是這樣,不過幾年前我來這里以后已經(jīng)改善很多了。
Helen:Isn't it dangerous to live there?
海倫:住在那里不危險嗎?
Bob:Well, it was in the past, but it's quite safe now. As a matter of fact, it's a wonderful place to live. Near our block, there are beautiful parks, good school, famous museums and excellent restaurants. And you can go to plays, concerts and operas every day if you like. You must come for a visit. Then you can see New York yourself.
鮑勃:嗯,以前比較危險,不過現(xiàn)在相當(dāng)安全。其實(shí),住在這里真的很好。我們街區(qū)附近有美麗的公園、很好的學(xué)校、著名的博物館和很棒的餐廳。如果你愿意的話,每天都可以去參加戲劇、音樂會和歌劇。你一定要來玩。那樣你就能親眼看到紐約了。
