Welcome to "Countries of the World".
歡迎來到“世界文化”。
Today we're talking about Australia, the land of sunshine and surfing.
今天我們將談一談陽光和沖浪之地—澳大利亞。
George and Fiona are two Australians who have joined us for today's show.
喬治和菲奧納是參加我們今天節目的兩位澳大利亞人。
So first of all, tell us a bit about yourselves.
首先請介紹一下你們自己。
Hi. Well, I live on an acre of land outside Melbourne
大家好。我住在墨爾本外的一片土地上，
but my family actually came here from Greece in the 1980s
但是我家人實際上是20世紀80年代從希臘來到這里的，
- in fact, Melbourne is the city with the largest number of Greek people outside Athens!
—事實上墨爾本是雅典以外擁有雅典人最多的城市。
At first, we didn't feel we belong here, but now we are attached to the land we live on.
起初，我們并不認為自己屬于這里，但是現在我們已與我們所居住的土地緊緊地聯系在一起了。
Thanks, George. Now here's Fiona from Sydney.
謝謝喬治。這位是來自悉尼的菲奧納。
Hello. Australia is my birthplace but my mum came from Scotland and my dad came from France.
大家好。澳大利亞是我的出生地，但是我媽媽來自蘇格蘭，爸爸來自法國。
That's the great thing about Australian culture - it's such a mix of different cultures.
這就是澳大利亞文化的偉大之處—它是一種不同文化的混合體。
The early settlers were mostly English and Irish,
早期的移民大多是英國人和愛爾蘭人，
but since 1945, the population has become more and more mixed with people from Southern Europe and Asia.
但是從1945年以來，越來越多的南歐人和亞洲人移居此地。
