Todd: So, Adrienne, you said you lived in Mexico for awhile?
托德：艾德麗安，你說你曾在墨西哥住過一段時間？
Adrienne: Mm, I studied there.
艾德麗安：嗯，我在那兒學習。
Todd: Really! You studied in Mexico?
托德：真的嗎！你在墨西哥學習？
Adrienne: I did. I studied Spanish.
艾德麗安：對。在那里學習西班牙語。
Todd: Wow, so what was it like being a student in Mexico?
托德：哇，那在墨西哥上學感覺怎么樣？
Adrienne: Ah, it was interesting. The weather was really hot the entire time I was there. Um, and it was very confusing, cause I didn't know the language very well when I first arrived but I learned quickly because I was living in the situation every day where I had to use language so that was really helpful in the end.
艾德麗安：嗯，很有趣。我在那兒的時候，那的天氣一直都很炎熱。嗯，其實當時很困惑，因為我剛到那里的時候西班牙語不好，不過我學得很快，畢竟我生活在西班牙語的環(huán)境中，每天都要用到，所以對學習語言非常有幫助。
Todd: So, what were the people like? What was the city like?
托德：那里的人怎么樣？城市怎么樣？
Adrienne: The city was small. 1 million people, and that's pretty small. The architecture is very colonial style. It's interesting. Very beautiful, old, a lot of wood and stone and the food was great. Very spicy.
艾德麗安：城市非常小。有1百萬人口，非常小。那里的建筑是典型的殖民地風格。這很有趣。建筑是老式的，非常漂亮，是用木石筑成的，那里的食物非常棒。特別辣。
Todd: Mexican food's the best.
托德：墨西哥食物非常好。
Adrienne: I think so too.
艾德麗安：我也喜歡那里的食物。
Todd: Yeah, and the people?
托德：那那里的人呢？
Adrienne: The people are really friendly, really, really friendly. Big families and they're always inviting you over for dinner, lunch and breakfast, and tea and coffee and chocolate and it's really, it's really a very familial environment.
艾德麗安：人們非常友善，真的非常友善。他們家庭成員眾多，而且他們會經(jīng)常邀請你過去吃晚餐，午餐、早餐，還有喝茶、喝咖啡、享用巧克力，家庭氛圍非常濃厚。
Todd: What was your favorite place in Mexico?
托德：墨西哥你最喜歡的地方是哪里？
Adrienne: My favorite place, still, is a town called Cholula. It's a very small town. That has a pyramid, and Aztec pyramid with a cathedral on top of it and it has views of the mountains, the volcano and, um, just beautiful landscape all around. It's a great place to watch the sunset.
艾德麗安：我最喜歡的地方是叫作喬盧拉的小鎮(zhèn)。那是一座非常小的城鎮(zhèn)。那里有金字塔，阿茲特克金字塔，頂部有一座天主教教堂，那里能看到山脈，火山，周圍的景色非常漂亮。那是一個看日落的好地方。
Todd: What volcano?
托德：什么火山？
Adrienne: Po! They call it Popo, but the full name I think is Popocatepetl. It's an Aztec name.
艾德麗安：波！他們稱之為波波，我想全名應該是波波卡特佩特火山。是一個阿茲特克名字。
Todd: Oh, sounds like a nice place.
托德：哦，聽上去是個不錯的地方。
Adrienne: It's beautiful.
艾德麗安：非常美。
Todd: Any plans to go back to Mexico soon?
托德：你有回墨西哥的計劃嗎？
Adrienne: Of course. I always want to go back but whether I actually make it in the next year or two, I don't know.
艾德麗安：當然了。我一直想回去，不知道我明年或者后年能否做到。
