生活英語情景對話：英國與日本
Todd: Clare, you're from England.
克萊爾，你來自英國。
Clare: That's right.
沒錯。
Todd: How would you compare England and Japan?
你怎麼對比英國和日本呢?
Clare: Well, I think, let's take price-wise, they're actually quite similar. Well, not, maybe not England as a whole but, say Japan and London is very similar, I found in supermarkets, in housing, and things like that. In other respects, the people are certainly different. I mean, British people are renowned to be very polite as Japanese people are too, and Japanese people are very helpful as well, probably more so than British people I would say. Mm, what else?
物價上來說，兩個國家基本一樣。也許不能說整個英國的物價和日本一樣，可以說日本和倫敦的物價很接近，比如超市商品的價格，房價都很接近。其他方面，英國人和日本人肯定很不同。 英國人被公認爲很有禮貌，日本人也是如此，日本人也很樂於助人，也許比英國人還樂於助人。其他方面?
Todd: What about the weather?
天氣方面呢?
Clare: The weather? Well, it's been raining a lot in Japan recently so we could say that it's quite similar, although actually, when I was e-mailing my parents, they've been going on about how there hasn't been much rain the past couple of months and how they think there is going to be a drought. That typical British stereotype of the weather is not true at the minute and it's probably wetter in Japan, but yeah, I think that climate wise it's quite similar in terms of temperature. It's definitely much more humid here than at home.
天氣?最近日本的雨水很多，因此可以說在天氣上英國和日本也很相似，雖然我和父母電子郵件聯繫的時候，他們總是說最近幾個月英國沒怎麼下雨，他們認爲英國將會發生乾旱災害了。現 在英國的天氣並不是英國最典型的天氣，日本這邊更加溼潤，但氣溫上說兩個國家的溫度是相近的。現在日本的天氣絕對比英國溼潤。
好的。非常感謝。
Todd: OK. Thanks a lot.
