聽力原文及翻譯
Hello everyone, it's good to see that so many members of the public have shown up for our presentation on the new housing development planned on the outskirts of Nonston. I'm Mark Reynolds and I'm communications manager at the development. I'll start by giving you a brief overview of our plans for the development. So one thing I'm sure you'll want to know is why we've selected this particular site for a housing development.
大家好，很高興看到這么多公眾出席我們關(guān)于諾斯頓郊區(qū)新住宅開發(fā)項(xiàng)目的介紹會(huì)。我是 Mark Reynolds，也是該項(xiàng)目的通訊經(jīng)理。首先，我將簡要介紹一下我們的開發(fā)計(jì)劃。我相信你們一定想知道，我們?yōu)槭裁催x擇這個(gè)特定的地點(diǎn)進(jìn)行住宅開發(fā)。
At present it's being used for farming, like much of the land around Nunston, but because of the new industrial center in Nonston, there's a lot of demand for housing for employees in the region, as many employees are having to commute long distances at present. Of course, there's also the fact that we have an international airport just 20 minutes drive away, but although that's certainly convenient, it wasn't one of our major criteria for choosing the site.
目前，它和諾斯頓周圍的大部分土地一樣，被用于農(nóng)業(yè)，但由于諾斯頓的新工業(yè)中心，該地區(qū)對(duì)員工住房的需求很大，因?yàn)樵S多員工目前不得不長途通勤。當(dāng)然，還有一個(gè)事實(shí)，就是我們離國際機(jī)場只有 20 分鐘車程，但盡管這確實(shí)很方便，但這并不是我們選擇地點(diǎn)的主要標(biāo)準(zhǔn)之一。
We were more interested in the fact that there's an excellent hospital just 15 km away and a large secondary school even closer than that. One drawback to the site is that it's on quite a steep slope, but we've taken account of that in our planning, so it shouldn't be a major problem. We've had a lot of positive feedback about the plans, people like the wide variety of accommodation types and prices, and the fact that it's only a short drive to get out into the countryside from the development.
我們更感興趣的是，距離這里僅 15 公里的地方有一所優(yōu)秀的醫(yī)院，甚至更近的地方還有一所大型中學(xué)。該地點(diǎn)的一個(gè)缺點(diǎn)是它位于一個(gè)相當(dāng)陡峭的斜坡上，但我們?cè)谝?guī)劃中已考慮到這一點(diǎn)，所以這應(yīng)該不是什么大問題。我們收到了很多關(guān)于這些計(jì)劃的積極反饋，人們喜歡各種各樣的住宿類型和價(jià)格，而且從開發(fā)區(qū)到鄉(xiāng)村只需很短的車程。
We were particularly pleased that so many people liked the designs for the layout of the development, with the majority of people saying it generally made a good impression and blended in well with the natural features of the landscape, with provision made for protecting trees and wildlife on the site. Some people have mentioned that they'd like to see more facilities for cyclists, and we'll look at that, but the overall feedback has been that the design and facilities of the development make it seem like a place where people of all ages can live together happily.
我們特別高興的是，有這么多人喜歡開發(fā)區(qū)的布局設(shè)計(jì)，大多數(shù)人說它總體上給人留下了良好的印象，與景觀的自然特征很好地融合在一起，并為保護(hù)場地上的樹木和野生動(dòng)物做好了準(zhǔn)備。有些人提到他們希望看到更多的自行車設(shè)施，我們會(huì)考慮這一點(diǎn)，但總體反饋是，開發(fā)區(qū)的設(shè)計(jì)和設(shè)施讓它看起來像是一個(gè)所有年齡段的人都可以快樂生活在一起的地方。
