Leandro: When you said you got a plum job working abroad, I thought you were going to Europe or Asia. Where exactly is Hueller Island?
莱昂德罗:你说你得到一份在海外工作的美差,我以为你会去欧洲或者亚洲。到底赫勒岛(Hueller Island)在哪儿?
Alysson: It’s in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Here, I’ll show you on the map.
艾莉森:在太平洋中部,在这儿,我给你在地图上指出来。
Leandro: Wow, I had no idea you’d be working in such a far-flung place. It’s a bit remote, isn’t it?
莱昂德罗:哇哦,不知道你会在这么远的地方工作,这事有点偏远,不是吗?
Alysson: It is, but it’s also unspoiled and beautiful. I’ve seen photos and it looks like my idea of paradise. See? After I get settled, you should come for a visit.
艾莉森:是的,但是这个岛没有被破坏、非常漂亮。我曾看到过照片,就是我想象出的的天堂。等我在那儿安定下来,你可以来参观。
Leandro: It looks a little desolate. Is it hard to get to?
莱昂德罗:这个岛有点荒无人烟,要去那儿是不是很困难?
Alysson: You would need to take a 19-hour flight from here to the mainland and then a two-day boat ride to reach it.
艾莉森:从这儿到那个大陆你需要乘坐十九个小时的飞机,然后再乘船航行两个小时就能到达了。
Leandro: Aren’t you worried about living in such isolation? It’s so far from civilization.
莱昂德罗:你难道不担心住在这么孤立的岛上?如此远离文明。
Alysson: There are other people living on the island, you know, so it’s not like I wouldn’t see another living soul for days.
艾莉森:岛上还住着别的族群的人,所以不会好多天都看不到别人的。
Leandro: Oh, I’m glad there’s a community living there. What is the population of Hueller Island?
莱昂德罗:噢!很高兴听到还有别的群落人员生活在那里,赫勒岛的人口有多少?
Alysson: It’s small, which isn’t unusual for an island this size.
艾莉森:很少,对于一个到来说,有点不太正常。
Leandro: How small?
莱昂德罗:有多少?
Alysson: When I move there, it’ll increase to seven. And if you visit, you’ll make eight.
艾莉森:我搬到那儿,人口就会增加到7人,如果你去参观的话,人口就会增至8人。
Leandro: I’ll give the idea of that trip all the consideration it deserves.
莱昂德罗:去那儿一趟玩的想法确实有待考虑。
