托德：你好！
Sarah: Hello!
薩拉：你好！
Todd: Hi, what's your name?
托德：嗨，你叫什么名字？
Sarah: My name is Sarah.
薩拉：我的名字是薩拉。
Todd: OK, and Sarah where are you from?
托德：好的，薩拉，你來自哪里？
Sarah: I'm from the north of England, Newcastle.
薩拉：我來自英格蘭北部的紐卡斯爾。
Todd: OK, so Newcastle, how far is that from London?
托德：好，那紐卡斯爾離倫敦有多遠？
Sarah: Um, it's about 300 miles.
薩拉：嗯，大約300英里。
Todd: Uh-huh, do you go to London a lot or have you been to London before?
托德：啊，你經常去倫敦嗎，或者說你以前去過倫敦嗎？
Sarah: I live in London. I've lived in London for the past seven years.
薩拉：我住在倫敦。我過去七年一直住在倫敦。
Todd: Oh, really?
托德：哦，這樣啊？
Sarah: Almost seven years, yeah.
薩拉：差不多七年的時間了，對。
Todd: OK. Which do you prefer, London or Newcastle?
托德：好的。那你更喜歡哪里，倫敦還是紐卡斯爾？
Sarah: Um, like them both. I prefer Newcastle because it's smaller, so it's easier to get around and it's also cheaper. London is very expensive.
薩拉：嗯，兩個地方我都喜歡。我喜歡紐卡斯爾是因為那里很小，所以很容易四處游玩，而且物價也相對便宜。倫敦物價非常貴。
Todd: So all your family is in Newcastle?
托德：那你家人還在紐卡斯爾嗎？
Sarah: Um, pretty much yeah.
薩拉：嗯，差不多是這樣。
Todd: So are they always trying to get you to go back and move back to Newcastle?
托德：那他們會勸你搬回紐卡斯爾住嗎？
Sarah: Ah, no, no, because most of the jobs are in the south, anyway for younger people so it's quite difficult to get a job in the north in teaching.
薩拉：嗯，不會，不會，因為大部分適合年輕人的工作機會都在南方，在北方找到一份與教育相關的工作非常難。
Todd: OK. Um, what do you like about London?
托德：好的。嗯，你喜歡倫敦的什么地方？
Sarah: Ah, it's a very busy place, there's lots of things going on all the time. There's also lots of things I don't like about London, but all my friends live there lots of job opportunities.
薩拉：嗯，倫敦是一個非常忙碌的城市，有許多事情同時在進行。當然倫敦也有許多我不喜歡的地方，但是我所有的朋友都在那邊，而且那里工作機會也多。
Todd: OK, what were you doing before you came to Japan in London?
托德：好，你來日本之前，在倫敦是做什么工作的？
Sarah: Ah, I was in Austria for a year. I was teaching in Austria, and then I was in London teaching, in London for a few years.
薩拉：哦，我在奧地利待了一年。我在奧地利教課，之后我回倫敦繼續教課，在倫敦工作了幾年的時間。
Todd: What were you teaching in London?
托德：你在倫敦教什么？
Sarah: I was teaching primary school. I was a primary school teacher.

Todd: Kids!
托德：孩子！
Sarah: Yeah.
薩拉：對。
Todd: So what's it like teaching kids?
托德：教孩子的感覺怎么樣？
Sarah: Um, tiring. Very tiring. I prefer teaching adults. That's my preference. I've mainly taught adults in TEFL, but in the state system in England it's only been children. It's fun. It's just very tiring.
薩拉：嗯，累，非常累。我喜歡教成年人。我更偏好教成年人。我主要是用英語教授成年人，不過在英格蘭的體系中，那只適用于兒童。不過這很有意思。只是會很累。
