杰夫：加州在俄勒冈州的南面，这两个是相邻的州，你们两个州的人相处的好吗？你们是相处不错的邻居吗？
Tim: Well, we get along a little bit with Northern California. They have similar thinking. But Souther California, they kind of have different thinking. They think a bit more about money. And also, they are moving a lot up into Oregon, and they have different thinking and they are moving into Oregon and they are kind of changing things.
蒂姆：我们和北加州的人相处的不错XxJl+D,1GD_J。我们有相似的想法;[-)V;wATk0lWQT!f。不过南加州的人和我们有不同的想法r2hUomYc5W#y。他们更看重钱VR9ph#4e[W=。而且他们中有很多人搬到了俄勒冈州居住，因为他们的想法不同，所以他们搬来以后，改变了一些事情rpHEd^yFctkWCP1j(bb。
Jeff: So do you get a lot.... are you patriotic towards your own state of Oregon?
杰夫：那你们……你们爱你们的家乡州俄勒冈州吗？
Tim: A little bit. We just like to keep things the way they are just a little bit. Californians move up because they can sell their homes in California for a lot of money. They move up there and then they tend to be more conservative.
蒂姆：有点7yD;sBFN,5,1rf。我们希望维持现状G@5&%d;7nt#)]k|。可是加州人搬了过来，他们高价卖出了他们在加州的房子=5(E~3VEDJDi7Wgc=q04。他们搬来俄勒冈州生活，他们更保守一些E.P(Xeg(HFmGY*~4xt&。
Jeff: So, if I was to meet you and call you a Californian, would you get mad at me?
杰夫：如果我见到你以后称你是加州人，你会不会生我的气？
Tim: I wouldn't get mad at you, no. I would think that he must think I was from Northern California.
蒂姆：我不会生你的气q5Xis;_2sFZ@.a4mj。我会想你一定是认为我来自北加州NI@#u&eI7X22|,+bS0G+。
Jeff: So do the Californians feel the same way about the people from Oregon? Is that a mutual emotion to dislike the Oregon people as well?
杰夫：那加州人也和俄勒冈州人持一样的想法吗？加州人会不会也不喜欢俄勒冈州人？
Tim: I don't think so because there's been a lot of them moving up. You know they move up there to retire and they move their kids up there, so I think they like Oregon and Oregonians tend to be pretty friendly.
蒂姆：我不这么想，因为有很多人搬到俄勒冈州来生活,t5&l_*9zFU)(DR4Un。他们在退休后搬来俄勒冈州，也会把孩子带过来，所以我认为他们喜欢俄勒冈州，而且俄勒冈州人一向很友好ui&61v_ty++lp9。
