日常英语口语对话-旅行篇
Mary: Do you like travelling abroad?
你喜欢去国外旅行吗?
John: I do. I worked in tourism for a few years and traveled abroad many times.
我喜欢,我在曾经在旅游行业工作过几年,因此去过国外很多次。
Mary: Really? How many countries have you visited so far?
真的吗?到目前为止你去过几个国家呢?
John: I’ve visited 12 countries in Europe and Asia.
我去过欧洲和亚洲共12个国家。
Mary: Have your travels in Asia differed from your travels in Europe?
亚洲的旅行和欧洲有什么不一样吗?
John: Definitely. A lot of places in Europe are similar: similar shops, similar culture and religions. I loved traveling to Asia because it was like going to a different world. It was crazy, noisy and nothing like I was used to from home. It never got boring because there was so much to do, see and experience. Besides, travel in Europe can be pricy and Asia is fantastic for people traveling on a budget. A meal is 1-3$; accommodation between 5-10$ and buses take you around the country for very cheap too.
当然不一样。欧洲很多地方都很像:一样的商店,文化和宗教。我想去亚洲旅行就是因为亚洲是一个不同的世界。亚洲很热情,喧闹,和我过去在国内完全不同。在亚洲旅行不会感到无聊,因为有很多事可做,可以看到很多风景,经历很多。此外在欧洲旅行很贵,对于想要节省开支来旅行的人来说亚洲是非常好的选择。一顿饭是1-3美元,住宿5-10美元,环城公交车也很便宜。
Mary: Have you ever been scared to try a certain type of food?
你曾经尝试过某种让你有点害怕的食物吗?
John: I love trying new things most of time. I tasted fried scorpion in Bangkok and of course I was a bit nervous before but I am glad I tried it.
大多数时候我都喜欢尝试新事物。我在孟买品尝了炸蝎子,当然在尝试之前我有点紧张,但我很高兴我尝了。
Mary: Wow… I would never taste something like that! What was it like?
天哪,我从来没吃过炸蝎子,味道怎么样?
John: It was surprisingly tasty! It actually tastes like French fries.
味道出其不意的很好吃!吃起来就像炸薯条。
Mary: That’s interesting. What has been the best food you’ve tried in your travels?
真有趣啊。在旅行中你吃过最好吃的东西是什么?
John: The best food on my travels was in Thailand. I love the Thai curries, the green papaya salad and Tom Yum soup. Have you ever tried Thai food?
最好吃的是在泰国。我喜欢泰国的咖喱,青木瓜还有冬阴功汤,你吃过泰国菜吗?
Mary: Yes, I ate at a Thai restaurant in Springfield once, but I think their food is a little too spicy for me.
吃过,我曾经在斯普林菲尔德的一家泰国餐厅吃过,但我觉得泰国菜对我来说有点辣。
John: Thai
