我要谈谈我在德国和法国度过的时光。我在法国和德国都修了学位,我所修的学位要求我必须去海外上一年学。我决定去德国,因为我的德语没有法语说得那么好。我到德国的时候,发现那里的人们非常好客。人们经常邀请我一起外出,他们会邀请我去他们的家,他们也会带我去不同的地方游览,有时我们会去咖啡厅享用咖啡和蛋糕。
Some of my German friends used to think that British people have coffee - sorry - have tea and cake and scones at 4 o'clock every day. I think that's really funny, because I don't know anybody in Britain who has tea and scones and cake at 4 o'clock every day.
我有一些德国朋友曾经认为英国人喝咖啡,抱歉,是认为英国人每天下午4点喝茶并享用英式松饼和蛋糕。我认为这真的很好笑,因为我都不知道英国有人会每天下午4点喝茶,并享用英式松饼和蛋糕。
One day when I was in Germany I went for a walk. I lived in a village and I went just for a wander about really and I found myself in France and I was really surprised because I didn't know I was living quite so close the border.
我在德国的时候,有一天我去散步。当时我住在乡村,我只是在周围闲逛,突然我发现自己竟然在法国,我当时非常惊讶,因为我都不知道原来我住的地方离德法边境那么近。
And that year, really, I really fell in love with France and Germany. I love croissants and I've got some really good friends in France and I also have a pen friend. I think I also like the French weather because it seems to be so much warmer and sunnier than the weather in Britain, so I really like that too.
那一年,我真的爱上了法国和德国。我喜欢吃牛角包,我在法国结交了一些非常亲密的朋友,同时我还交了个笔友。我想我喜欢法国的天气,因为那里的天气比英国的天气温暖又充满阳光,我非常喜欢那种天气。
