Sandra: Where will we be staying when we visit Trumanville?
桑德拉:我们参观朱曼维尔时住在哪儿?
Roger: We’ll be staying in a neighborhood on the outskirts of the town, but a stone’s throw from some of the major sites we’ll want to see.
罗格:我们会住在城镇郊区的一个邻居家里,但是离我们想要看的景点很近。
Sandra: I hope there’ll be a lot of taxis around. You know I hate to walk.
桑德拉:希望周围有很多出租车,你知道我讨厌步行。
Roger: Trumanville is a very walkable city and we’ll be within walking distance to everything. We’ll be able to go nearly everywhere on foot.
罗格:朱曼维尔是个适于步行的城市,步行就能到达各个地方。我们可以步行去任何地方。
Sandra: I told you. I hate to walk. At least we’ll be within close proximity to the beach.
桑德拉:已经告诉你了,我讨厌步行。至少我们离海滩很近。
Roger: Actually, the areas near the beach are too expensive, and we can’t afford it. And plus, the beach is in a remote part of town, and staying there would mean being in the boonies for our entire trip.
罗格:实际上,靠近海滩的地区都很昂贵,我们负担不起。此外,海滩在城镇的偏远地区,待在那儿也就意味着我们整个旅行就待在荒郊野地了。
Sandra: But we could take taxis.
桑德拉:但是我们可以乘坐出租车。
Roger: Taking taxis everywhere would be really expensive.
罗格:乘坐出租车到达任何地方都会很昂贵。
Sandra: Tell me that we’ll at least be in the vicinity of good shopping areas.

Roger: It might be a bit of a hike to the shops, but it won’t be too onerous to walk.
罗格:也许需要稍稍长途步行到商店,但是步行去不会很难。
Sandra: Read my lips. I don’t want to walk everywhere. Maybe we can rent a car or hire a driver.
桑德拉:看我的嘴型,我不想步行去任何地方。也许我们可以租一辆汽车或者雇一个司机。
Roger: Are you out of your mind?! This is supposed to be a budget vacation, not a luxury trip. I’m not made of money, you know.
罗格:你疯了吗?这是次有预算的旅行,不是奢华的旅行。你知道我没有那么多钱。
Sandra: And I didn’t know you were such a cheapskate!
桑德拉:过去不知道你是这个吝啬鬼。
