Gwen: How is your first semester in Trinity College Dublin?
格溫：你在都柏林圣三一學(xué)院的第一個(gè)學(xué)期過(guò)得怎么樣？
Tommy: Well, the university is great. Afterall, it's a university that rivals Oxford and Cambridge. And Ireland is a beautiful country with its mountains and castles. I'm only having some difficulties settling in.
湯米：學(xué)校很不錯(cuò)，畢竟這是能和牛津和劍橋媲美的大學(xué)。而且愛(ài)爾蘭這個(gè)國(guó)家也很美，有很多山，還有城堡。只是我很難習(xí)慣這里的生活。
Gwen: What's the problem?
格溫：怎么了？
Tommy: The weather sucks! It rains so much. The whole place is often wet.
湯米：天氣糟透了！經(jīng)常下雨，到處都是濕濕的。
Gwen: I guess that can't be helped. What about the food and the people?
格溫：我覺(jué)得這也是沒(méi)辦法的事。那里的飲食和人怎么樣？
Tommy: Remember Ireland had a famine when potato crop failed in the 19th century? That's because they eat potatoes everyday! Mashed potatoes, fried potatoes, potato chips...
湯米：19世紀(jì)愛(ài)爾蘭因?yàn)橥炼箿p產(chǎn)而導(dǎo)致了一場(chǎng)饑荒，你記得嗎？那是因?yàn)樗麄兠刻於汲酝炼梗?土豆泥、炸土豆、土豆條……
Gwen: Is it that bad?
格溫：這么糟糕嗎？
Tommy: It's worse that Irish people speak English with a strong accent. Sometimes I even wonder if they are speaking English!
湯米：比這更糟的是愛(ài)爾蘭人說(shuō)英語(yǔ)口音很重，有時(shí)候我甚至懷疑他們是不是在說(shuō)英語(yǔ)！
