B: Well, actually, I went to college in Florida.
准确地说，我是在佛罗里达州上的大学。
A: Why did you choose Florida?
你为什么选择在佛罗里达上大学？
B: Well, the weather is similar to Hawaii, where I'm from, and I also got a scholarship to play soccer.
那里的天气和我的家乡夏威夷差不多，而且我因为踢足球获得了那所大学的奖学金。
A: Oh, wow, so you play soccer.
哦，哇，你踢足球。
B: Yeah, I played midfield for my college for four years.
对，我在大学踢了四年中场。
A: Wow, you must be really good.
哇，那你一定很棒。
B: I don't know about that.
这个我可说不好。
A: Where was your university?
你上的大学在哪里？
B: It was in the Tampa Bay area, right on the bay, on Tampa Bay, and it's surrounded by the city of Tampa and Clearwater.
在坦帕湾地区，在坦帕市和克利尔沃特附近。
A: So what is there to do in Tampa Bay?
在坦帕市可以做什么？
B: There's a lot of things. You can go fishing, boating, sailing, or kayaking. We used to do all of that when I was there.
有很多事情可以做。可以去钓鱼、划船、出海、玩皮划艇。我在那里的时候经常进行这些活动。
A: Wow, sounds like a really great city.
哇，听起来那真是一个很棒的城市。
B: Yeah, it was really fun if you like the outdoors type of thing.
对，如果你喜欢户外运动，会很有意思。
A: Do you think it's the best city in Florida?
你认为那里是佛罗里达州最棒的城市吗？
B: Yeah, I think it's a good location. It's right in the middle of Florida so you can go to Miami. It's a few hours away drive, or to Orlando, that has Disneyworld.
对，坦帕市地理位置优越，位于佛罗里达州中心，从那里去迈阿密很方便。开车只需要几个小时的时间，去奥兰多的迪士尼乐园也很方便。
A: Wow. Sounds like a really great place. Can you tell me about the weather?
哇。听起来真是一个好地方。你能说一下那里的天气情况吗？
B: The weather's really nice in Florida most of the year, which is one reason why I went from Hawaii but in the summer time it gets really hot and when it gets hot you really need air-conditioning, but that's not problem.
佛罗里达州一年大部分时间的天气都不错，这也是我从夏威夷去那里上大学的原因之一，不过夏天的时候会非常热，所以需要空调，不过这并不是问题。
A: Does it rain?
下雨吗？
B: Actually in the summertime, there's really bad lighting storms. It's always... It lasts for about half an hour but it's always between three and five o'clock in the evening.
夏天会有严重的暴风雨。暴雨会持续半个小时左右，通常是在下午三点到五点时间下雨。
A: Sounds pretty scary?
听起来很可怕。
B: Yeah, but when you're inside it's OK. It's kind of cool to watch.
对，不过在室内还好。看着外面下雨感觉很酷。
A: Is there something you don't like about Florida?
佛罗里达州有你不喜欢的地方吗？
B: The only thing I don't like is the bugs. There's so many bugs, especially during summer time. And really scary ants, and bugs you can't even see and they end up biting you.
我唯一不喜欢的就是虫子。那里有非常多的虫子，夏天更是饱受虫子的困扰。非常可怕的蚂蚁还有你都没见过的虫子会咬你。
A: Wow. Sounds pretty scary.
哇，听起来太可怕了。
B: Yeah, but as long as you have bug repellant when you go outside in the summer, there's no problem.
对，不过夏天外出时只要擦一些驱虫剂就没问题了。
