实战口语情景对话 第1037期:Sun vs Snow 阳光VS下雪

Paul: So, we were talking about climates, Amy. Uhm, you know are there any sort of climates that you'd like to live in?
保罗：艾米，我们来谈谈气候。你希望在哪种气候条件下生活？

Aimee: I would like to live in Iceland or Scandinavia.
艾米：我想生活在冰岛或斯堪的纳维亚半岛。

Paul: Interesting. Why would you like to live in that sort of climate?
保罗：有意思。你为什么想在那种气候条件下生活？

Aimee: Uhm, The snow is just so beautiful and my image of those countries is that their infrastructure is sufficient enough to keep you warm when you're inside. You know? But I'd say it's just so beautiful. The snow is amazing. It quietens everything. I think it's glorious. I just really like it. I used to ski when I was younger. So I always ... I like skiing and I like the hills, and yeah, and the snow on hills is just beautiful for me. How about you?
艾米：雪景非常漂亮，我认为这些国家的基础设施足以保障室内的温度，室内会很暖和。你知道吗？我认为那些地方的雪景真的太美了。那里的雪景非常不可思议，可以让一切都安静下来。景色真的非常壮丽。我非常喜欢。我年轻的时候去那里划过雪。我喜欢滑雪，我也喜欢高山，我认为山上的雪景非常漂亮。你呢？

Paul: Well I, I love snow too, but I don't like it when it gets so slushy and sloppy you know, and your feet are freezing. You know I think like, the ideal of snow is really appealing. I'm not sure about, you know, living in it. I prefer, I don't know maybe the climate of like Southern Italy, kind of Mediterranean, climate I think that would be really quite pleasant. You know? Not too hot, by the sea, although yeah, in the summer, it does gets hot. But I don't think it's the humidity like here in Japan.
保罗：我也喜欢雪，不过雪会变得泥泞，而且会冻脚，这点我并不喜欢。我认为理想中的雪景非常吸引人。可是我不确定我是否能生活在那种气候中。我更喜欢意大利南部的气候，那相当于地中海气候，我认为这种气候很宜人。你知道吗？因为临海，所以不会太热，不过夏天的时候会非常热。不过并不像日本这样潮湿。

Aimee: Right, I was just thinking about that. What kind of heat is it? Is it a dry heat?
艾米：好，我刚刚正在想这个。那里是哪种热？是燥热吗？

Paul: I think it is a drier heat. Yeah, yeah, whereas the heat we obviously we get here is unbearable at times, right?
保罗：我想是有一些燥热。嗯，显然这里经常热得让我们无法忍受，不是吗？

Aimee: Yeah, it's really bad. Yeah.
艾米：对，太糟糕了。没错。

Paul: So, uhm...
保罗：嗯……

Aimee: What's the highest temperature? What's the range of temperature in Southern Italy , what kind of climate, do you know?
艾米：那里最高温度是多少？意大利南部的温度范围是多少，你了解吗？

Paul: Not sure, I guess maybe at this time of year it starts getting up towards 20 degrees C.
保罗：我不太确定，我想一年中这个时间的温度应该接近20摄氏度吧。

Aimee: That's nice.
艾米：不错。

Paul: And then I think it does you know places like Sicily, I think it does get pretty hot, probably like high 30s? Yeah, yeah, so and I think the winters are probably quite mild, unless you're from the North of Italy of course, near the mountains.
保罗：像西西里这样的地方可能会非常热，温度大概有30度吧？我认为那里的冬天相当温暖，除非去意大利北部的山区。

Aimee: Yeah.
艾米：好。

Paul: Down in the south it remains kind of pretty mild, you know?
保罗：南部地区的温度还是很温暖的。

Aimee: Aha, if it's in the Med ... It's my images of that. I've never been to Italy so I don't know. I've been to the South of France and not got really hot. That was a nice temperature. It was dry, and yeah the nighttime wasn't too hot either, it was really nice during the day. That was a nice climate, I think.
艾米：嗯，如果是地中海地区，那和我想象中的差不多。我从来没去过意大利，所以我不清楚。我去过法国南部，那里不会很热。温度非常适中。空气很干燥，晚上也不会太热，白天真的很舒适。我认为那里的气候很不错。
