2-- Yeah, that's right.
1-- So, do you read a lot?
2-- Yeah, I read a lot. In fact I don't have a television.
1-- Ah, you're the man.
2-- Seriously, I only read.
1-- Wow, how many books do you get through a week?
2-- A week! Ah, at least one a week, because I work all the time.
1-- Oh, that's pretty good.
2-- Yeah, but I enjoy reading because television doesn't give you imagination, yeah I prefer reading.
1-- Yeah, I hear you. It rots your mind, I think. Ah, also, what kind of books you like to read? What kind of genres?
2-- Well, let's see, I've got a lot of nonfiction, a lot of comedy.
1-- Cool, so actually, when you read, like where do you normally read?
2-- Where do I normally read? On the trains, actually. I'm always reading on the trains. I read because I'm always traveling to work. A lot of pleasure. And it's funny because I meet people on the trains when I'm reading, they look over at my book.
1-- That's cool. I love to read on the trains.

1--嘿,Mark,我那天看见你在那儿读书。
2--是,那是我。
1--那么,你经常阅读吗?
2--是的,我经常阅读。事实上,我连一部电视机都没有。
1--啊,你真厉害。
2--说真的,我只阅读。
1--哇,那你一个星期要读多少本书呢?
2--一个星期!啊,一个星期至少要读一本书,因为我一直在工作。
1--哦,那相当不错。
2--是啊,但是我享受阅读,因为电视不能给你想象空间,因此我更喜欢阅读。
1--嗯,你说的很对。我认为阅读在腐蚀你的思想。对了,你喜欢看哪种类型的书呢?哪种体裁的呢?
2--嗯,我想想。我读过很多非小说类作品和喜剧作品。
1--酷。那,当你阅读的时候,你通常都在哪里呢?
2--通常在哪里阅读?其实,一般都在火车上。我经常在火车上阅读。我阅读是因为我总是要上班。其乐无穷。同时那也很有趣,因为当我在火车上阅读的时候,会遇见很多人,他们会翻看我的书。
1--那很酷。我会爱上在火车上阅读的。
