情景对话

马里：嗨，迈克，我们现在在乡村生活，去学校的话要翻过一座山W11qfeR*l6_。你怎么看在这里的生活？

Mari: Like which one?
马里：比如哪座城市？
Mike: Possibly one like New York or London. I think, I've always seen it on TV and I've always wanted to try to live there but I've never, so I think that would probably be really interesting.
迈克：纽约或伦敦这样的大城市Y5+P2F;A.oG[YXH7yd]。我经常在电视上看到这样的大城市，我一直想尝试一下大城市的生活，我没有在大城市生活过，所以我想那会非常有趣的|FvumfOArQWu;F3_。
Mari: What attracts you to those cities?
马里：这些城市有什么吸引你的地方？
Mike: I guess just the diversity that you might find or just the fact that so much stuff is going on in the city. I might like to see how that lifestyle is.
迈克：我想是那种多样性，还有城市里发生的各种各样的事情is7LAW3m.^TBN(+)pAc。我想看看那种生活方式是什么样子的U5#k!y#l+.TgxpaF3qU^。

马里：听起来很酷tIZ.@1QkgNlkiA=。
Mike: What about you?
迈克：你呢？
Mari: I couldn't see myself living here in the long-term. I grew up in two really big cities so... and I've moved around a lot and... so in the future, I think I just want to stay in one place.
马里：我想我以后不会生活在这里C*]O|Qi*SvK[b*T。我在两个大城市长大，我经常搬家，所以以后我想定居在一个地方b+)]jv]K0N&vZWXh,r。
Mike: What types of cities?
迈克：哪种城市呢？
Mari: I guess a big city in Japan. My parents live here, so I feel like I'm more inclined to live here. My brother lives in the States and so if we both lived in the United States, I think my parents would feel a little bit lonely so I feel more inclined to live in Japan.
马里：我想应该是日本的大城市v+d8mG^9jScb=ze+l。我父母生活在日本，所以我倾向于在日本生活itA-gY45L]cwg8vN。我哥哥住在美国，如果我们都住在美国，那我父母会感到孤独的，所以我倾向于在日本生活1pjK,Xj_Ju&)。
Mike: Which city in Japan would you like?
迈克：你想住在日本的哪座城市？
Mari: My parents live near Osaka. I grew up in Tokyo. I'm thinking maybe like Kobe. I think that... I like Kobe a lot because it's like an international port city, or originally it was. We have the ocean, the water, and the mountain and it just seems like a very cosmopolitan city to me in Japan.
马里：我父母住在大阪附近B-wY|RNPLsS&HyL。我在东京长大eJJhEC+Nz-7obeU^niu。我想我会在神户生活9LfRYOl+x5YJ~5z.kd。我非常喜欢神户，因为神户是国际港口城市]!Rm!pNEG_cqn。神户有大海、有高山，对我来说那里是日本的国际大都市nAFUPpL@K03Fh*P-Io。
