William: Oh, there goes another train.
又開走了輛火車。
Wang Fei: What do you mean, another train? It was a D5900 Class diesel-electric locomotive, the last one in operation.
你什么意思，另列貨車？那是 D5900柴電混合車頭，最后一輛測試中的車。
William: Erm, ok.
Wang Fei: And due to arrive at 1203 is the Class 170 "Turbostar" British diesel-multiple-unit train from Edinburgh.
到達1203的應該是從伯明翰開來的Class 170 "Turbostar" 柴油混合動力火車。
William: Great.
Wang Fei: You don't sound very interested.
你聽起來不是很感興趣。
William: I'm not. You do realise that you are a complete anorak when it comes to trains, Wang Fei.
我不感興趣。當提到火車時，你應意識到你是個有怪僻的人。
Wang Fei: An anorak? 你是說皮猴? Yes, I'm wearing an anorak, but I'm not a kind of coat,（我穿的是長皮猴，但我不是衣服） William, I'm Wang Fei.
William: Well yeah, well the word anorak is used to describe people who have an obsessive hobby about something that not many people are interested in.
anorak這個詞用來描述對某物有特殊愛好的人，而大多數人對這些食物沒興趣。
Wang Fei: 明白了，原來 anorak 可以用來形容一個有特殊和古怪愛好的人。 Like train spotting? But I thought everyone liked it!
William: What's so interesting about standing in the cold, waiting for rare types of train to arrive? The only trains I'm interested in are the ones which get me from A to B.
在冷風中等待各類稀有型號的火車到來有什么意思？我唯一感興趣的火車就是能將我從A帶到B處的火車。
Examples:
He is a total anorak. He always stays in and watches Star Trek.
他是個有怪僻的人。他總是呆在家里看Star Trek。
My friend is a bit of an anorak when it comes to dance music. He knows every DJ and every track, when they were published, how high they got in the charts. I prefer just to dance to it!
提到舞曲，我朋友是個有點怪僻的人。他知道每首DJ和每首音樂。當音樂發行時，他知道音樂的排行。我寧愿只隨著舞曲跳舞。
