今天的这段对话，在讨论纽卡斯尔，
纽卡斯尔离伦敦有多远？你更喜欢伦敦还是纽卡斯尔
来听今天的讲解:
A: OK, hello!
你好！
B: Hello!
你好！
A: Hi, what's your name?
嗨，你叫什么名字？
B: My name is Sarah.
我的名字是萨拉。
A: OK, and Sarah where are you from?
好的，萨拉，你来自哪里？
B: I'm from the north of England, Newcastle.
我来自英格兰北部的纽卡斯尔。
A: OK, so Newcastle, how far is that from London?
好，那纽卡斯尔离伦敦有多远？
B: Um, it's about 300 miles.
嗯，大约300英里。
A: Uh-huh, do you go to London a lot or have you been to London before?
啊，你经常去伦敦吗，或者说你以前去过伦敦吗？
B: I live in London. I've lived in London for the past seven years.
我住在伦敦。我过去七年一直住在伦敦。
A: Oh, really?
哦，这样啊？
B: Almost seven years, yeah.
差不多七年的时间了，对。
A: OK. Which do you prefer, London or Newcastle?
好的。那你更喜欢哪里，伦敦还是纽卡斯尔？
B: Um, like them both. I prefer Newcastle because it's smaller, so it's easier to get around and it's also cheaper. London is very expensive.
嗯，两个地方我都喜欢。我喜欢纽卡斯尔是因为那里很小，所以很容易四处游玩，而且物价也相对便宜。伦敦物价非常贵。
A: So all your family is in Newcastle?
那你家人还在纽卡斯尔吗？
B: Um, pretty much yeah.
嗯，差不多是这样。
A: So are they always trying to get you to go back and move back to Newcastle?
那他们会劝你搬回纽卡斯尔住吗？
B: Ah, no, no, because most of the jobs are in the south, anyway for younger people so it's quite difficult to get a job in the north in teaching.
嗯，不会，不会，因为大部分适合年轻人的工作机会都在南方，在北方找到一份与教育相关的工作非常难。
A: OK. Um, what do you like about London?
好的。嗯，你喜欢伦敦的什么地方？
B: Ah, it's a very busy place, there's lots of things going on all the time. There's also lots of things I don't like about London, but all my friends live there lots of job opportunities.
嗯，伦敦是一个非常忙碌的城市，有许多事情同时在进行。当然伦敦也有许多我不喜欢的地方，但是我所有的朋友都在那边，而且那里工作机会也多。
A: OK, what were you doing before you came to Japan in London?
好，你来日本之前，在伦敦是做什么工作的？
B: Ah, I was in Austria for a year. I was teaching in Austria, and then I was in London teaching, in London for a few years.
哦，我在奥地利待了一年。我在奥地利教课，之后我回伦敦继续教课，在伦敦工作了几年的时间。
A: What were you teaching in London?
你在伦敦教什么？
B: I was teaching primary school. I was a primary school teacher.
我在小学教课。我是一名小学老师。
A: Kids!
孩子！
B: Yeah.
对。
A: So what's it like teaching kids?
教孩子的感觉怎么样？
B: Um, tiring. Very tiring. I prefer teaching adults. That's my preference. I've mainly taught adults in TEFL, but in the state system in England it's only been children. It's fun. It's just very tiring.
嗯，累，非常累。我喜欢教成年人。我更偏好教成年人。我主要是用英语教授成年人，不过在英格兰的体系中，那只适用于儿童。不过这很有意思。只是会很累。
