地道美语听力播客951：你到底要搬去哪里?

Penelope: Tell me about the new town you’re moving to.

佩内洛普：你要搬去的那个小镇，是什么样的?

Outis: It’s called Nusquam and it’s smack dab in the middle of the country.

乌提斯：是Nusquam小镇，在国家中心。

Penelope: Where is it exactly?

佩内洛普：到底在哪儿?

Outis: I can’t give you the coordinates, if that’s what you’re after.

乌提斯：你要是还要问地理坐标的话，那我无可奉告。

Penelope: Of course not. I’m just trying to pinpoint where it is. Is it near Wichita, Kansas?

佩内洛普：当然不会，我就是想知道具体在哪儿。离着堪萨斯州威奇托市近吗?

Outis: It’s nowhere near Wichita. It’s in the heart of a remote part of the country.

乌提斯：离那儿一点也不近，在那座城市偏远地区的中部。

Penelope: Where is it relative to this town?

佩内洛普：那有没有提示?

Outis: I can’t give you any reference points or tell you the distance. I’ll just say it’s on the outskirts of a medium-sized town and borders Nebraska.

乌提斯：我不能告诉你任何参照点或者距离。我只能告诉你是在内布拉斯加边境一个中型城市的郊区。

Penelope: Why are you being so cryptic?

佩内洛普：你为什么要搞得如此神秘呢?

Outis: I’ll tell you that when you spill the beans on why you’re asking.

乌提斯：你告诉我你为什么要问我这些，我就告诉你。

Penelope: I thought I’d come for an extended stay to help you get settled.

佩内洛普：我原打算多待几天帮你安顿好。

Outis: You’ve just answered your own question.

乌提斯：你刚好回答了你刚才的问题。
