Todd:

托德：你好!

Sarah: Hello!

萨拉：你好!

Todd: Hi, what's your name?

托德：嗨，你叫什么名字?

Sarah: My name is Sarah.

萨拉：我的名字是萨拉。

Todd: OK, and Sarah where are you from?

托德：好的，萨拉，你来自哪里?

Sarah: I'm from the north of England, Newcastle.

萨拉：我来自英格兰北部的纽卡斯尔。

Todd: OK, so Newcastle, how far is that from London?

托德：好，那纽卡斯尔离伦敦有多远?

Sarah: Um, it's about 300 miles.

萨拉：嗯，大约300英里。

Todd: Uh-huh, do you go to London a lot or have you been to London before?

托德：啊，你经常去伦敦吗，或者说你以前去过伦敦吗?

Sarah: I live in London. I've lived in London for the past seven years.

萨拉：我住在伦敦。我过去七年一直住在伦敦。

Todd: Oh, really?

托德：哦，这样啊?

Sarah: Almost seven years, yeah.

萨拉：差不多七年的时间了，对。

Todd: OK. Which do you prefer, London or Newcastle?

托德：好的。那你更喜欢哪里，伦敦还是纽卡斯尔?

Sarah: Um, like them both. I prefer Newcastle because it's smaller, so it's easier to get around and it's also cheaper. London is very expensive.

萨拉：嗯，两个地方我都喜欢。我喜欢纽卡斯尔是因为那里很小，所以很容易四处游玩，而且物价也相对便宜。伦敦物价非常贵。

Todd: So all your family is in Newcastle?

托德：那你家人还在纽卡斯尔吗?

Sarah: Um, pretty much yeah.

萨拉：嗯，差不多是这样。

Todd: So are they always trying to get you to go back and move back to Newcastle?

托德：那他们会劝你搬回纽卡斯尔住吗?

Sarah: Ah, no, no, because most of the jobs are in the south, anyway for younger people so it's quite difficult to get a job in the north in teaching.

萨拉：嗯，不会，不会，因为大部分适合年轻人的工作机会都在南方，在北方找到一份与教育相关的工作非常难。

Todd: OK. Um, what do you like about London?

托德：好的。嗯，你喜欢伦敦的什么地方?

Sarah: Ah, it's a very busy place, there's lots of things going on all the time. There's also lots of things I don't like about London, but all my friends live there lots of job opportunities.

萨拉：嗯，伦敦是一个非常忙碌的城市，有许多事情同时在进行。当然伦敦也有许多我不喜欢的地方，但是我所有的朋友都在那边，而且那里工作机会也多。

Todd: OK, what were you doing before you came to Japan in London?

托德：好，你来日本之前，在伦敦是做什么工作的?

Sarah: Ah, I was in Austria for a year. I was teaching in Austria, and then I was in London teaching, in London for a few years.

萨拉：哦，我在奥地利待了一年。我在奥地利教课，之后我回伦敦继续教课，在伦敦工作了几年的时间。

Todd: What were you teaching in London?

托德：你在伦敦教什么?

Sarah: I was teaching primary school. I was a primary school teacher.

萨拉：我在小学教课。我是一名小学老师。

Todd: Kids!

托德：孩子!

Sarah: Yeah.

萨拉：对。

Todd: So what's it like teaching kids?

托德：教孩子的感觉怎么样?

Sarah: Um, tiring. Very tiring. I prefer teaching adults. That's my preference. I've mainly taught adults in TEFL, but in the state system in England it's only been children. It's fun. It's just very tiring.

萨拉：嗯，累，非常累。我喜欢教成年人。我更偏好教成年人。我主要是用英语教授成年人，不过在英格兰的体系中，那只适用于儿童。不过这很有意思。只是会很累。
