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。

哇。听起来真是一个好地方。你能说一下那里的天气情况吗？

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。

听起来很可怕。

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。
