情景对话
Todd: So we are recording.Hey Jenn, how are you today?
托德：我们要开始录音了。嗨，珍，你今天怎么样？
Jen: Hi Todd, I'm fine thank you. How are you?
珍：嗨，托德，我很好，谢谢。你怎么样？
Todd: I am doing pretty good. It's kind of getting colder, so I like that, I don't like super hot weather.
托德：我非常好。现在天气越来越冷了，我喜欢这种天气，我不喜欢超级炎热的天气。
Jen: Really, it's kind of opposite for me because I really hate that it's getting colder day by day.
珍：真的吗？我和你正相反，因为我我讨厌这种越来越冷的天气。
Todd: Oh you don't like the cooler weather?
托德：哦，你不喜欢逐渐转凉的天气吗？
Jen: No, my fingers start swelling and it's really tough because you cannot really go outside. You just want to stay in your bed all day, you become very unproductive I guess.
珍：不喜欢，我的手指已经开始肿胀了，这非常痛苦，因为不能到外面去。只想一整天都呆在床上，我认为这样会变得没收获。
Todd: Yeah, I guess I can kind of ... Yeah, I know what you mean by that. But, at least in the winter, at least in the fall you can wear warmer clothes so I enjoy that. Although I don't like having to do so much laundry because you wear so many more clothes. In summer, it's just so easy to do your laundry I think.
托德：嗯，我想我能……好，我知道你的意思。至少在冬天和秋天可以穿暖和的衣服，我很喜欢这点。不过我不喜欢洗衣服，因为天气冷的时候穿的衣服也多。我认为夏天的时候洗衣服很方便。
Jen: Yeah, you're talking about warmer clothes. But the thing is, if it was summer you wouldn't really feel like wearing any warm clothes at all because that would be unnecessary. That's why I would rather go for summer than winter.
珍：对，你刚提到了暖和的衣服。不过问题是，夏天根本不会想穿暖和的衣服，因为没必要。所以相比于冬天，我更喜欢喜欢夏天。
Todd: Well I know, but what I'm saying is that in the summer you don't have to wear so many clothes. You just have a tee shirt, shorts, that's about it, pants.
托德：我知道，我的意思是，夏天不用穿那么多衣服。只要穿T恤、短裤或裤子就行了。
Jen: Yeah, and your laundry problem would also not exist.
珍：对，所以你的洗衣服问题也不存在了。
Todd: Exactly. Although, I don't have that many clothes anyway. I have the same three pairs of pants that I wear, so that's the benefit of being much older. How about you, do you have lots of clothes?
托德：没错。不过其实我也没有那么多衣服。我有三条一样的裤子，这是年纪逐渐大了以后的好处。你呢？你衣服多吗？
Jen: Yeah, but I think even if I was older I would still have a lot of clothes. Maybe it has to do with me always shopping all the time.
珍：多，我想我年纪大了以后仍会有很多衣服。也许这是因为我经常去购物。
Todd: Actually, what do you do with your clothes for the season? Do you pack away your clothes for the season? Do you pack away your winter clothes or your summer clothes?
托德：你怎么处理那些季节性衣服？你会把季节性衣服收起来吗？你会把冬天的衣服或夏天的衣服收起来吗？
Jen: Yes, actually during winter I pack all my summer clothes and tuck it away somewhere. And during summer, I do the opposite yeah.
珍：会，实际上冬天的时候，我会把所有夏天的衣服收起来，放好。夏天的时候，我会把所有冬天的衣服收起来。
Todd: Yeah, I now am regretting it so much because in the summer it was so hot this summer and I had these big sweatpants and sweaters and they were taking up space in my closet and I just threw them away. And I knew winter was coming and I would regret it, and now I regret it because I have to go buy all new sweatshirts.
托德：嗯，我现在非常后悔，因为今年夏天太热了，我的那些长的运动裤还有毛衣占了衣柜很大地方，所以我就把它们扔掉了。我知道冬天的时候我会后悔，现在我真的后悔了，因为我不得不去买新的运动衫。
Jen: Why would you do that?
珍：你为什么要那样做？
Todd: I just hate clutter and yeah, it was really short sighted wasn't it?
托德：我只是讨厌杂乱，那样做目光短浅，是吧？
Jen: Yeah, it was. I'm so sorry, but yeah I'm being blunt but you should have just packed it and put it somewhere you couldn't see so it didn't bother you that much.
珍：对，没错。我很抱歉这么说，不过坦白说，你应该把那些衣服收起来，放到某个你看不到的地方，这样就不会令你那么困扰了。
Todd: I know.
托德：我知道。
