實戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：閱讀 Reading

Todd: Hey, Mark I saw that you're reading a book out there.

嘿，Mark，我看你在那邊正在讀一本書。

Mark: Yeah, that's right.

對呀。

Todd: So, do you read a lot?

那你讀了很多書嗎?

Mark: Yeah, I read a lot. In fact I don't have a television.

是的，讀了很多。事實上是因為我沒有電視。

Todd: Ah, you're the man.

啊，你就是這樣一個人。

Mark: Seriously, I only read.

說真的，我只能看書。

Todd: Wow, how many books do you get through a week?

哇，那你一周能看多少本書?

Mark: A week! Ah, at least one a week, because I work all the time.

一周!啊，一周至少一本，因為我一直都在工作。

Todd: Oh, that's pretty good.

哦，那相當不錯了。

Mark: Yeah, but I enjoy reading because television doesn't give you imagination, yeah I prefer reading.

是，但我喜歡閱讀是因為電視無法滿足我想象的欲望，所以說我更喜歡閱讀。

Todd: Yeah, I hear you. It rots your mind, I think. Ah, also, what kind of books you like to read? What kind of genres?

恩我明白了。我想閱讀可以蠶食你的大腦。那么你喜歡看哪種書呢?哪一類的?

Mark: Well, let's see, I've got a lot of nonfiction, a lot of comedy.

恩我想想，我看過很多非小說還有很多的喜劇片。

Todd: Cool, so actually, when you read, like where do you normally read?

太棒了，那你通常會喜歡在什么地方閱讀呢?

Mark: Where do I normally read? On the trains, actually. I'm always reading on the trains. I read because I'm always traveling to work. A lot of pleasure.

在什么地方閱讀?在火車上吧。我總是在火車上看書。因為我總是坐車去工作，看書會帶來樂趣。

And it's funny because I meet people on the trains when I'm reading, they look over at my book.

而且真的很有意思，因為在我看書的時候，周圍的人也會湊過來看。

Todd: That's cool. I love to read on the trains.

那種感覺很棒。我很喜歡在火車上看書。
