纽约是世界大都市，谈一谈在纽约成长的经历
来听今天的讲解:
A: Hey, Antoinette, why don't you tell me about growing up in New York?
嘿，安托万内特，和我谈谈你在纽约的成长经历吧。
B: New York. Warren, why do you want to know about that? Well, growing up in New York was lots of fun. I loved growing up in New York. I couldn't imagine growing up anywhere else.
纽约。沃伦，你为什么想知道这个呢？在纽约成长很有趣。我喜欢在纽约长大。我无法想象在其他地方成长会怎样。
A: Really?
真的吗？
B: Yeah, really. The fun things I did – well, lots of movies to go see but I guess you can see movies anywhere in the US. Anywhere in the world for that matter. I enjoyed being able to go to Lincoln Center for concerts or Carnegie Hall and even play in Carnegie Hall. So I did play in Carnegie Hall.
对，真的。我做了很多有趣的事情，我去电影院看了很多电影，不过我想美国任何地方都可以看电影。就这点而言，世界任何地方都可以办到。我喜欢去林肯中心和卡内基音乐厅看演出，我甚至还在卡内基音乐厅表演过。我真的在卡内基音乐厅表演过。
A: Wow. Well, that's exciting.
哇哦。那真人兴奋。
B: Have you ever been to New York?
你去过纽约吗？
A: I have.
去过。
B: You have.
你去过。
A: Yeah. I've been there twice.
对，我去过纽约两次。
B: Okay. What did you do when you were there?
好。你去纽约哪些地方游玩了？
A: The first time, I was with my mother. I was 12 years old. And we went to Central Park and we saw some museums around Central Park.
我第一次去纽约是和我妈妈一起去的。当时我12岁。我们去了纽约中央公园，我看到纽约中央公园周边有一些博物馆。
B: You didn't go into the museums?
你没进博物馆吗？
A: Yes, we did go into the museums.
进了，我们去博物馆参观了。
B: Oh, okay. Yeah. That's my park, Central Park. How did you find my park? Did you like my park?
哦，好。纽约中央公园是我的公园。你是怎么发现我的公园的？你喜欢我的公园吗？
A: It was great. I was surprised how big it was.
那里非常棒。那里的规模让我非常吃惊。
B: It is a big park. That's what I like about it. You can get lost in the park and almost forget that you're in a city.
那的确是一座大公园。所以我非常喜欢它。在纽约中央公园可能会迷路，几乎会忘掉自己身处城市之中。
A: Yeah. That's what I found really neat about it is sometimes I felt like I was in the countryside. But then I would see large buildings.
是的。我发现那里非常整洁，有时我感觉我好像在乡村。不过我能看到大型建筑。
B: Yes. Yeah, I enjoy that, too. Did you know that you could ride horses in the park?
对，没错。我也很喜欢这点。你知道可以在纽约中央公园骑马吗？
A: No, I didn't.
我不知道。
B: Did you know about the skating rink in the park?
你知道纽约中央公园里有滑冰场吗？
A: Yes. I've seen the skating rink on TV.
我知道，我在电视上看到过那个滑冰场。
B: Okay. What time of year did you go? What season was it?
好。你是什么时候去的？什么季节？
A: I've been there in the summer and in fall but not winter.
我在夏天和秋天去过纽约中央公园，不过没在冬天去过。
B: It's beautiful in any season, I think. I love Central Park.
无论什么季节，那里都很漂亮。我爱纽约中央公园。
A: Yeah, me too. It was very – it was a memorable experience.
我也是。那真的是一次令人难忘的经历。
B: I'm glad to hear that. What other places did you go to?
我很高兴听到你这么说。你还去哪些地方游玩了？
A: Well, when I was older, I went with my friend and we went on top of the Empire State Building.
我长大以后，又和朋友去了纽约，我们登上了帝国大厦顶楼。
B: Okay. I'm not sure if they allow you to go up there now.
好。我不确定现在还让不让上到顶楼了。
A: That was around 2004 that we went.
我们是2004年去的。
B: Okay. Were you able to look over the edge?
好。你能从顶楼往下看吗？
A: I don't know if I was looking over the edge. I think it's inside but you're at the top.
我不确定我有没有往下看。我记得当时我们在里面，不过那的确是顶层。
B: Okay. So yeah, things have changed a bit since I was a little girl.
好。我小的时候去过，看来那里变了。
A: Did it use to be outside that you could go?
之前是能到外面去吗？
B: You could go outside. There were these binoculars or I don't know what they're called but you put a little change in and you could see the city.
可以去外面。外面有双筒望远镜，我不确定是不是这样叫，放些零钱进去，你就可以欣赏纽约的景色。
A: Yeah. They had those as well. Yeah.
嗯。我也看到了那些望远镜。
B: Okay.
好。
A: Yeah. We could see Central Park and you could even see the Statue of Liberty from there.
嗯。用望远镜可以看到纽约中央公园，甚至还能看到自由女神像。
B: Oh well, I've been there.
嗯，我去过那里。
A: Yeah. Actually, I never got to go. Both times I went to New York, we wanted to go to the Statue of Liberty but we didn't have enough time.
嗯，实际上，两次我都没能去自由女神像。我去了纽约两次，每次我们都想去看看自由女神像，可是我们的时间不够。
B: Oh well, you should plan another trip.
哦，你应该再去一次纽约。
A: I'd like to, yeah. Sounds great.
我很想去。听起来太棒了。
