情景对话

My name's Ruth and I'm from a small village in England. I live quite near Nottingham and I've lived there for most of my life actually. Nottingham is quite famous for Sherwood forest, where Robin hood was supposed to live and as a child I spent some of my time in Sherwood Forest playing.
我叫鲁斯，我来自英国的一个小乡村k_#SLV72MqfZdL8。我住的地方离诺丁汉很近，实际上我大部分时间都生活在那里yivgu|JuNW74=xD。诺丁汉因舍伍德森林而闻名，那被认为是罗宾汉生活的地方，而我小时候也经常在舍伍德森林里玩耍cFUknHKb]50u!h。
I live in a village and it's actually a mining village with about 1,000 or 1,500 inhabitants. There's really not very much to do there. There's a shop and a post office, a school and my mom teaches at the school.
我生活在一个小村庄，实际上那是个采矿村，只有1000或是1500名居民Nld~Y2W4b0v。那里其实没有什么可以做的事情qtm_a&]^iysipy9。村庄里有一个商店，一个邮局，一个学校，我妈妈就在那所学校里教书W(H%Q@#%1a.l[。
I did actually live in Edinburgh for one year and that was quite different from life in my village because there was so much more to do and there were so many more people and there was so much more traffic, but I think actually I prefer living in a village because, well, if you want to go out to the shops, if you want to go to the cinema, you can go to the nearest town, or to the nearest city, but you can always escape city life and you can always go back to where it's quiet and more peaceful and where everybody knows each other, but if you live in the city you can't really escape it, and I don't really like the noise of the city so I think I will probably live in a village for the rest of my life.
我曾经在爱丁堡生活过一年的时间，那里的生活与我们村庄的生活非常不同，因为那里有太多可以做的事情，而且那里也有很多人，而且交通流量也更大，不过我想我更喜欢生活在乡村，因为如果你想去商店，如果你想去看电影，你可以去最近的城镇，或者去最近的城市，你可以逃离城市生活，回到那些安静又宁静的生活，而且在村庄里所有人都互相认识，但是如果你生活在城市里，你就不能逃离那里的生活，而且我真的非常不喜欢城市里的噪音，所以我想我会在村庄里度过我的余生4jOFSJVJI6m。
