A: oh, I don’t think you’re shy! You are always chatting with new people when we go to a party.
 
哦，我不认为你害羞！我们去参加聚会时，你总是和新朋友聊天。
 
B: well, yes, but those people always start talking to me. I never talk to them first. Perhaps I’m not as shy as I think. Anyway, you’re certainly not shy!
 
嗯，是的，但那些人总是开始和我说话。我从来没有先和他们说话。也许我没有想象中那么害羞。不管怎样，你肯定不害羞！

Intermediate
 
A: How do you think people get their personalities?
 
你认为人们是如何获得个性的？
 
B: I think it’s mainly from the environment a person lives it.
 
我认为这主要来自于一个人生活的环境。
 
A: Don’t you think people get their personalities from their parents?
 
你不认为人们的个性是从父母那里得到的吗？
 
B: no, but parents control a lot of the environment that kids grow up in, so they certainly influence their kid’s personalities a lot.
 
不，但父母控制着孩子成长的许多环境，所以他们肯定会对孩子的性格产生很大影响。
 
A: So why do you think many kids have personalities that are so different to their parents.
 
那么，为什么你认为许多孩子的性格与他们的父母如此不同呢。
 
B: maybe when they become teenagers, they want to be completely different to their parents.
 
也许当他们十几岁的时候，他们想和父母完全不同。
 
A: You might be right. I guess most parents want their kids to be like them, but kids today grow up in a different environment. You know, they know much more about the world from the internet, newspapers, and tv.
 
你可能是对的。我想大多数父母都希望他们的孩子像他们一样，但今天的孩子在不同的环境中长大。你知道，他们从互联网、报纸和电视上了解了更多的世界。
 
B: do you think that teenagers get a lot of their bad behaviour from tv and movies?
 
你认为青少年的很多不良行为是从电视和电影中得到的吗？
 
A: Maybe some of it. I think a lot of people blame TV and movies when the real problem is that the parents aren’t bringing their child up correctly.
 
也许是其中的一部分。我认为很多人责怪电视和电影，而真正的问题是父母没有正确地抚养孩子。
 
B: Parents have a difficult job. They have to bring up their children and usually have to work too.
 
父母的工作很困难。他们必须抚养孩子，而且通常也必须工作。
 
A: Yes, that’s fine. Your son is doing well at school, isn’t he?
 
是的，那很好。你儿子在学校表现很好，不是吗？
 
B: yes, he is. He’s very hardworking when he’s at school. Then he comes home from school and does homework before dinner. After dinner, he goes out with his friends.
 
是的，他是。他在学校的时候非常勤奋。然后他放学回家，晚饭前做作业。晚饭后，他和朋友出去玩。
 
A: So, he’s not a bookworm? It’s good that he has an outgoing personality. Some kids are very quiet and introverted. You wonder they’ll survive in the real world without their parents to support them.
 
所以，他不是个书虫？他性格外向，这很好。有些孩子非常安静和内向。你想知道如果没有父母的支持，他们会在现实世界中生存下来。
