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 today's question is what is a technology that we no longer use? 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. I had a cassette player and then I had a CD player. I don't even use my CD player any more because it's so much easier listening on your iPod.
卡蒂亚:我从没用过MP3 。我有一个卡带机,还有一个CD播放机 。我已经不再用CD播放机了,因为现在在iPod上听音乐更方便 。
Ayumi: Yeah.
亚由美:对 。
Katya: Also video tapes when you used to watch movies on video tapes. I don't even use DVDs any more. I always watch everything on my computer. You can fit your whole technological world in your computer.
卡蒂亚:还有以前用来看电影的录影带 。我已经不再用DVD看电影了 。我通常在电脑上看视频 。电脑适用于整个科技世界 。
Ayumi: That's true.
亚由美:没错 。
Katya: There are a lot of technologies like that. You remember using it as a child but no more. Also video platforms, there are a lot of video game platforms that are no longer on the market, like .... the first video game we have.
卡蒂亚:有很多这种技术 。有很多小时候使用的技术现在已经不再用了 。比如视频平台,有很多电子游戏平台已经退出市场了,比如我们玩的第一个电子游戏 。
Ayumi: That's right.
亚由美:没错 。
Katya: They are no longer there. Even the old Game Boys, nobody uses a Game Boy any more.
卡蒂亚:现在已经没有了 。甚至现在连掌上游戏机都没人玩了 。
Ayumi: I do still.
亚由美:我还在玩 。
Katya: That's good.
卡蒂亚:那很好 。
