It’s very arty, it’s definitely an up and coming place. It used to be quite rough but it’s definitely becoming younger and hipper and cooler. There’s lots of funky bars around, funky cafes. There’s a very varied nightlife and it goes on till very late. It’s very rowdy and I sometimes have trouble getting to sleep!
Jean: 她说这里很有点艺术风格 arty,是个人气越来越旺的地方up and coming, 不过在此之前,在这一带其实是治安相当不好的,所以她说这里曾经是quite rough.
Finn: But now Tara thinks it’s younger, hipper and cooler.
Jean: Hipper就是更加的hip,就是更加的酷!她也说这里也有很富个性很时尚的酒吧和咖啡厅。
Finn: Funky is another word which means cool.
Jean: 看来形容酷的词我们已经提到好几个了。
Finn: Yes, we’ve already heard four of them: trendy, funky, cool, and hip!
