Todd: Peter, your English is amazing. It's really good and people from Sweden, your country, also often speak really good English. Could you talk about your secret? Why is your English so good?
托德：彼得，你的英語說得非常棒。真的很好，你們瑞典人的英語都說得很好。你能談談你的秘訣嗎？為什么你的英語能說得這么好？
Peter: First, I would like to thank you for your comment. That's really nice. It's a difficult question and it's a difficult answer but all I can say is that, especially in Sweden, I'm not sure about our neighbor countries, but especially in Sweden, when you're raised, you start to learn English from like when you are three, four years old by watching television because we have a lot of programs that are usually from England or from America and so we tend to watch a lot, those kinds of programs. The same with me. I remember when I was four years old I started to watch horror movies on American TV shows that was actually broadcast in Sweden and my mother, she always like, she actually cursed me not to watch those because it was so scary but I never thought is was scary, but more and more actually I learned English by using English words, and, but nothing happened until when you start to learn English in school, when you really go into grammar and that is when you start to learn 'Yes', 'No', 'Car', Apple', 'I have an apple', 'I have a car' and also back then I found it really interesting to learn something new, not only mathematics, and draw with a crayon on paper, but also to learn a new language that some other people in other countries also speak, that I someday would be able to speak with them as well, so I was really enthusiastic in school by learning English and during this time, cause in Sweden we study from second grade up to high school, and during all this years I've actually watched a lot of American movies, a lot of English movies, and also it doesn't always have to be from those countries, as long as the language that you is used within the movie, as long as it is English then it's perfectly fine and also we have a lot of people in Sweden that are from other countries, foreign countries, and so many times it actually happens that you have to ask them something or they come up to you and ask where they are supposed to go and where they can grab the bus they are trying to take and usually it's in English so it's really fascinating how you actually learn English in Sweden.
彼得：首先我要謝謝你的贊賞。謝謝你這么說。這是個很難的問題，同樣也很難回答，我能說的是，我不太了解鄰國的情況，不過在瑞典，我們通常會從三四歲左右開始看電視節目學習英語，因為我們有很多從英國和美國引進的節目，所以我們會看很多這種英語節目。我也是這樣的。我記得我從四歲開始看在瑞典播出的美國電視節目和恐怖電影，我媽媽一直讓我不要看這些節目，因為那太可怕了，不過我從來不覺得可怕，就這樣我漸漸地學會了一些英語單詞，不過我直到在學校上英語課時才開始學習英語語法，開始學習“是”“不是”“汽車”“蘋果”，“我有一個蘋果”，“我有一輛汽車”等等內容，當時我認為學習新的知識非常有意思，不僅僅是學習數學或是在紙上用蠟筆畫畫，而且也要學習一門新語言，其他國家的人使用的語言，可能有一天我也可以和其他國家的人對話，所以我很熱衷于在學校學習英語，在瑞典是從二年級開始學英語，一直到高中，這段時間里我看了很多美國電影，很多英語電影，并不一定是這些國家的電影，只要電影里使用的語言是英語就可以，而且瑞典有很多來自其他國家的人，有很多外國人，你可能會問他們一些事情，或者這些外國人會問你路，詢問他們要去的地方，或是詢問去哪里坐公交車之類的問題，通常這些對話要用英語，所以在瑞典學習英語非常有趣。
