 视界·英语句子 1.你小时候被宠坏了吗? Chris: Hello, my name is Chris. I’m from the United States. 克里斯：大家好，我是克里斯，来自美国。 Phoebe: Hello, my name is Phoebe and I’m from China. 菲比：大家好，我是菲比，来自中国。 Chris: Our question is were we spoiled as children? I think I was probably a little spoiled. My grandmother got me things I wanted like Nintendo games and things like that, other kinds of video games but I don’t think I was overly spoiled. I didn’t get whatever I wanted, but I was an only child so I didn’t have to share many things so in that sense maybe I was a little bit spoiled. How about you? 克里斯：我们要讨论的问题是，我们小时候被宠坏了吗?我认为我可能有点儿被宠坏了。像任天堂游戏和其他电子游戏这种我想要的东西，我奶奶就会买给我，不过我认为我并没有被过分溺爱。我没有得到所有我想要的东西，不过我是独生子，所以我不用和兄弟姐妹分享，从这个角度来看，我可能有些被宠坏了。你呢? Phoebe: I think, I’m the only child in my family and my parents they have not really spoiled me. I think when I was young they asked me to do my things by myself, finish the things by myself and if I want something I have to behave myself and I have to, you know, try to be good and then get my reward. So I don’t think I’m a spoiled child when I was young. 菲比：我是独生女，不过我父母没有太溺爱我。我小时候他们会让我自己做事，自己去完成我要做的事，如果我有想要的东西，我要表现良好，尽量努力做好事情，然后得到奖励。所以我想我小时候并不是被宠坏的孩子。 Chris: Not too spoiled? 克里斯：没有过于溺爱? Phoebe: Yes. 菲比：对。 Chris: OK. 克里斯：好。 2.经常和谁争吵 Katya: Hello, I’m Katya from Bulgaria. 卡蒂亚：大家好，我是卡蒂亚，来自保加利亚。 Ayumi: I’m Ayumi from Brazil. 亚由美：我是亚由美，来自巴西。 Katya: And the question is who do you argue with often?

Actually all my room mates have been boys. I’ve never felt uncomfortable. We are like friends, we are like family so we don’t have these gender barriers saying you are a boy so you don’t do this, you are a girl you don’t do that. The same case, they take trash for me or they carry my stuff. They are really kind and I really like them because they are like brothers rather than like strangers. 亚由美：我也这么想。实际上我的室友一直是男孩。我从未感到不舒服。我们就像朋友、像家人一样，我们没有那些性别障碍，可能有人认为你是男生，所以你不能这么做，或者你是女生，你不能做那个，我们并没有这种想法。和你说的一样，他们会帮我倒垃圾或帮我提东西。他们非常友善，我很喜欢他们，因为他们更像我的兄弟，而不是陌生人。 Katya: Also men are really good cooks. 卡蒂亚：而且男性也很会做饭。 Ayumi: Yeah. 亚由美：对。 Katya: Right?

Is there something you no longer use? 卡蒂亚：今天的问题是，我们不再使用哪些技术?有没有什么技术是我们不再使用的? Ayumi: It’s kind of difficult to tell because I never use technology acturally. I’m really bad in things in terms of technology. I mean I already broke two computers and a CD player. But talking about which, there was an MP player that my father gave me for my birthday present five years ago and since I have a computer right now, I’m all the time listening to music on YouTube or downloading music, or iPhone, so I don’t use the MP3 player any more. What about you? 亚由美：这有点儿难回答，因为我从来不使用技术。我不擅长使用科技类产品。我已经用坏了两台电脑和一个CD播放器。不过至于不再使用的技术，五年前我生日的时候我爸爸送了我一个MP3，由于我现在已经有电脑了，所以我一直在youtube上听音乐或下载音乐，或是用苹果手机听歌，我已经不再用MP3了。你呢? Katya: I never had an MP player.

Aiko: Should I answer first? 爱子：应该我先回答吗? Gareth: Yep, please do. 加雷斯：好，请回答。 Aiko: I wish I could sing and dance very well. When I’m watching a kids’ TV show with our children, they often sing, sing Mom or dance and I try my best but it’s quite terrible and then I wish I could do it very well. How about you Gareth? 爱子：我希望能有唱歌和跳舞的才能。我和孩子们看儿童电视节目时，我的孩子们经常会说“妈妈来唱首歌吧或是妈妈跳个舞”，可是我尽了最大努力，却做得非常糟糕，所以我希望我也能有这种才能。你呢，加雷斯? Gareth: I wish I could play the guitar and this is because whenever you go to a party there’s always a guitar somewhere in the house, right? Just in the corner of the room or somewhere like that, so I wish I could just pick it up and then play like Jimmi Hendrix. I think it would impress all of my friends and maybe it’s something that I could do as a job in the future and get money for the guitar. 加雷斯：我希望能有弹奏吉他的才华，因为每次参加派对时，都会有吉他放在房间里的某个地方，对吧?可能是房间的角落或是其他地方，所以我希望我能拿起吉他，像吉米·亨德里克斯一样演奏。我想那会给所有朋友留下深刻印象，也许未来我还能用这个才能来工作，通过演奏吉他挣钱。 Aiko: You play the guitar and I sing, that would be perfect. 爱子：你弹吉他，我唱歌，那就太完美了。 Gareth: A duo, yes. 加雷斯：二人组搭档表演。 6.你喜欢学习吗? Aiko: Hello, my name is Aiko. I’m from Japan. 爱子：大家好，我是爱子，来自日本。 Gareth: And my name is Gareth and I’m from England. 加雷斯：我是加雷斯，来自英国。 Aiko: Our question is do you like to study? How about you, Gareth? 爱子：我们要讨论的问题是，你喜欢学习吗?加雷斯，你喜欢学习吗? Gareth: Yes, I do, not just for myself but for my son. My son often asks me questions like how do earthquakes happen, how do engines work and I feel that if I don’t know the answer to his questions, I’ll be a bad daddy. So it’s kind of insecurity which drives me to study but I do enjoy it. I do enjoy finding out how earthquakes actually happen and why they happen and how combustion engines work. How about you, Aiko? 加雷斯：我喜欢学习，我学习不仅仅是为了我自己，也为了我儿子。我儿子经常问我问题，比如地震是怎么发生的，引擎是怎么工作的等等，如果我不能回答他的问题，那我我会认为自己不是好爸爸。所以，这种不安全感驱使我不断学习，当然我也很享受。在了解地震发生原因和引擎工作原理的过程中，我很享受。你呢，爱子? Aiko: Yeah, I do like to study in general but then I enjoy studying English the most. The reason for that is, one, it’s like my hobby so it’s not like a chore really studying and also that’s something I need to improve because I use English with my husband and our children and our children are only three years old and one year old but their English is improving so quickly, unbelievably quickly, so I feel like I’m falling behind and that motivates me a lot. 爱子：总的来说，我也喜欢学习，我最喜欢学习英语。原因是，这是我的兴趣，所以学习并不是令人厌烦的任务，而且我需要提高我的英语水平，因为我和丈夫还有孩子用英语交流，我们的孩子一个3岁，一个1岁，他们的英语水平进步地非常快，进步速度令人难以置信，所以我感觉自己落后了，这激发了我的动力。 Gareth: Hm, they keep you on your toes, don’t they? 加雷斯：嗯，他们使你保持警觉，对吧? Aiko: Yes. 爱子：没错。 7.今晚的计划 Valeria: Hey, what’s up? 瓦莱里娅：嗨，你好吗? Daniel: Hey, how are you? 丹尼尔：嘿，你好吗? Valeria: Fine, and you? 瓦莱里娅：我很好，你呢?

I don’t think now, I don’t think it’s a big, big lie but at the moment I think it was. The thing is I, every day I went to school and when I got to school I met some friends and they asked me not to, you know, go to classes but somewhere else instead. I think everyone has done that. 丹尼尔：几年以前。现在来看，我不认为那是弥天大谎，不过当时我认为那是大谎话。事情是这样的，我每天到学校以后，会有朋友让我不要去上课，而是逃课其他地方玩。我认为所有人都做过这种事。 Valeria: Yes. 瓦莱里娅：对。 Daniel: And I did. Obviously I went with my friends. When I came back to my home, my mum asked me so how was the day and I’d say yeah, yeah, you know like classes as usual. But then she was like by the way what were you doing, you know, like the arcade place because the neighbor saw you. And I was like really? And I was really, really scared, you know, I’d just lied to my mum and yeah the neighbor saw me and I was really, really scared, so they caught me and I couldn’t say anything because, you know, that’s the proof we were caught. So it was a really, really awkward and embarrassing time. 丹尼尔：所以我就逃课了。当然我是和我朋友一起逃课的。回到家以后，我妈妈问我那天在学校过得怎么样，我回答说和往常一样上课。但是她随后问道，对了，你去游戏厅干什么了，邻居看到你了。我当时想真的吗?我非常害怕，因为我刚刚对我妈妈撒谎了，而且还被邻居看到了，我非常非常害怕，他们抓到我撒谎了，我说不出别的话来，因为他们有证据证明我们说谎了。那真是极为难堪又尴尬的时刻。 Valeria: Something similar happened to me but the thing is since it was like my brother, the best friend of my brother, my best friend and I, it was kind of pretty obvious and the teacher phoned from school. 瓦莱里娅：我也发生过类似的事情，当时我和我哥哥、我哥哥最好的朋友还有我最好的朋友一起逃课了，可以说那非常明显，所以学校老师给我家打了电话。 Daniel: Ah. 丹尼尔：啊。 Valeria: To let my mum know. 瓦莱里娅：老师告诉了我妈妈。 Daniel: Yeah, if your whole mates just don’t go to school, I think that’s pretty obvious. 丹尼尔：嗯，如果你们几个一起逃课，那的确很明显。 Valeria: Yes, it was. 瓦莱里娅：对，没错。 9.你会烹饪什么食物？ Nana: So CleAnn what can you cook? 纳纳：克里安，你会做饭吗?
