Joel: I'm sorry, what was your name again?
喬爾：抱歉，請你再說一遍你的名字，好嗎？
Ruth: My name is Ruth Archibald.
露絲：我叫露絲·阿奇博爾德。
Joel: Ruth. OK, where are you from?
喬爾：露絲。你來自哪里？
Ruth: I'm from Ireland.
露絲：我來自愛爾蘭。
Joel: Ireland. OK. I can notice your accent a little bit. I've never been to Ireland before. What's famous about Ireland that you can tell me about?
喬爾：愛爾蘭。好，我大概能聽出你的口音。我以前從來沒有去過愛爾蘭。你能和我說說愛爾蘭什么比較出名嗎？
Ruth: Probably the most famous things are Guinness and whiskey, they're alcoholic drinks from.
露絲：可能最出名的應(yīng)該是吉尼斯啤酒和威斯忌，它們是酒類飲品。
Joel: I've heard that it's a pretty rough crowd in Ireland too. Is that true for women as well?
喬爾：我聽說愛爾蘭有很多人都很粗魯。女性也是這樣嗎？
Ruth: No, I don't think so. I think it depends on where you go in Ireland. In the capitol, yes, maybe people are a bit more rough, but in the countryside they're very friendly.
露絲：不是，我不這么認為。我想這要取決于你去愛爾蘭的哪個地方。愛爾蘭首都的一些民眾可能不太友好，不過鄉(xiāng)村的人非常友好。
Joel: OK, but for men, so if I went to a bar in Ireland, would I be in trouble?
喬爾：那男性去愛爾蘭的酒吧會遇到麻煩嗎？

露絲：我想不會。我認為不會。不會，不會遇到麻煩。酒吧很不錯。
Joel: And where are you from?

露絲：我來自一個名為Bray的地方，距離首都都柏林有一小時的車程。
Joel: OK, one-hours drive so what is the geography like?
喬爾：一小時的車程，那里的地形怎么樣？
Ruth: It's pretty flat. There are some mountains but none of them are very high and the area around the city is very, it's very built up but once you get outside the city it's mainly countryside. There's a lot of farming and country, particularly beef and dairy products and also sheep. There's lots of sheep.
露絲：地勢非常平坦。那里也有一些山，但是并沒有高山，城市周邊有很多建筑物，不過出城以后就是鄉(xiāng)村地區(qū)了。有很多農(nóng)田和鄉(xiāng)村，尤其是牛和羊很多，盛產(chǎn)奶制品。有很多羊。
Joel: When are you going to be going back?
喬爾：你打算什么時候回家去？
Ruth: I've just gone back. I went back in December for three weeks, so at the moment I have no plans to go home in the near future, but maybe sometime in September so maybe in another six or seven weeks.
露絲：我剛回去過。12月份時我回去住了三個星期，所以近期我沒有回去的計劃，不過可能9月份的時候我會回家去看看，大概還有六七周的時間。
