办公室英语口语第29期:Askingaboutanaccent

Asking about an accent
A: You have an unusual accent, Mr. Robbins. Where are you from originally? If you don’t mind me asking.

B: Not at all. I was born in Madrid, but I came to the States when I was a teenager.

A; I guess that must be what I’m hearing, I really couldn’t place it. Do go back to Madrid often?

B: No, I haven’t been back for more than ten years.

哪的口音
A：你的口音很特别，罗宾斯女士。是哪里人? 不介意我问吧？

B：没关系. 我在马德里出生，但十几岁时就到了美国。

A：我听着也差不多，只是搞不准是哪里的口音。你常回马德里吗?

B：不是，我有十多年没回去了。
