Ginger: There is a lot of traffic.
金格：交通非常繁忙。

Nabeel: Oh, no!
纳比尔：哦，不！

纳比尔：听起来并不是个安静的社区。

Ginger: No, it's not quiet at all. Unless you go into the park, and then it's very quiet.
金格：一点儿也不安静。除非你去公园，公园里非常安静。

Nabeel: How often do you go to the park?

Ginger: Almost every night. Every night after work I'll take a walk in the park and there's a pond with a water display with music, so it can be very soothing.
金格：我几乎每天晚上都去。每天晚上下班后我都会去公园里散步，公园里有个池塘，那里会放音乐，让人感觉很舒服。
