實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語情景對(duì)話：Winter in Sweden 瑞典的冬天

Todd: OK, Peter, can you talk about your country, Sweden, and what is life like in Sweden in winter?

托德：彼得，你能談?wù)勀愕淖鎳?guó)瑞典嗎?瑞典冬天的生活是怎樣的?

Peter: Swedish life in winter is really harsh, especially, it tends to get pretty cold, especially around December, January, that's when it's really cold. The temperature can actually drop down to twenty minus and so it's something you have to do, is that you always have to go and buy new clothes, new thick clothes in order to survive the winter.

彼得：冬天在瑞典生活很艱難，因?yàn)槿鸬涞亩焯貏e冷，十二月和一月是最冷的時(shí)候。氣溫會(huì)下降至零下20度左右，所以必須要買新的厚衣服來度過冬天。

Todd: Wow, that sounds pretty crazy. So, in Sweden in winter, what kind of activities do you like to do? What do people do?

托德：哇，聽起來太瘋狂了。那瑞典的冬天有沒有你喜歡的活動(dòng)?人們?cè)诙於甲鍪裁?

Peter: Well, there are many things you can do, especially in wintertime in Sweden is either you go like sled. So in Sweden, in winter in Sweden, you can actually go sledding and also you can go ice-skating, and of course you can also go skiing up in the mountains, which is really popular among people right now, and also for the young people, you can actually go with a snowboard, but usually around Stockholm where I've been raised we tend to do very little things because the coldness actually, it's like an obstacle, because you can't do much really, mostly you sit home and study or you sit by your computer or you just hang around with friends celebrating Christmas.

彼得：嗯，有很多事可以做，冬天可以去瑞典玩雪橇。冬天在瑞典可以去滑雪橇，可以滑冰，當(dāng)然你也可以去山上滑雪，現(xiàn)在滑雪是非常受歡迎的休閑活動(dòng)，年輕人還可以玩滑雪板，不過對(duì)于在斯德哥爾摩長(zhǎng)大的我們來說，冬天的時(shí)候很少外出，因?yàn)楹鋾?huì)造成阻礙，你不能做太多事，大部分時(shí)間都呆在家里學(xué)習(xí)或是玩電腦，或者和朋友們一起慶祝圣誕節(jié)。

Todd: OK, what about the food? Like what foods do people eat in Sweden in winter?

托德：好，那食物呢?冬天的時(shí)候瑞典人會(huì)吃什么食物?

Peter: In Sweden in wintertime, we usually eat a lot of meatballs, which is the typical Swedish cuisine. Meatballs, you got potatoes, and of course we got all kinds of variations of sausages. We got ham and it's a little but hard for me now because I can remember so much and it's been a long time since I was in Sweden.

彼得：冬天的時(shí)候瑞典人經(jīng)常吃肉丸，這是瑞典的代表美食。肉丸，土豆，當(dāng)然還有各種香腸。還有火腿，這只是其中的一些食物，我不太了解現(xiàn)在的情況，我只記得這么多，因?yàn)槲矣泻荛L(zhǎng)時(shí)間沒有回瑞典了。

Todd: Sounds like a cool place to live. Anyway, thanks, Peter.

托德：聽起來生活在瑞典會(huì)很酷。好，謝謝你，彼得。
