美語情景對話 第157期:閱讀 Reading
Todd: Hey, Mark I saw that you.#39;re reading a book out there.
嘿，Mark，我看你在那邊正在讀一本書。
Mark: Yeah, that's right.
對呀。
Todd: So, do you read a lot?
那你讀了很多書嗎？
Mark: Yeah, I read a lot. In fact I don't have a television.
是的，讀了很多。事實上是因爲我沒有電視。
Todd: Ah, you're the man.
啊，你就是這樣一個人。
Mark: Seriously, I only read.
說真的，我只能看書。
Todd: Wow, how many books do you get through a week?
哇，那你一週能看多少本書？
Mark: A week! Ah, at least one a week, because I work all the time.
一週！啊，一週至少一本，因爲我一直都在工作。
Todd: Oh, that's pretty good.
哦，那相當不錯了。
Mark: Yeah, but I enjoy reading because television doesn't give you imagination, yeah I prefer reading.
是，但我喜歡閱讀是因爲電視無法滿足我想象的慾望，所以說我更喜歡閱讀。
Todd: Yeah, I hear you. It rots your mind, I think. Ah, also, what kind of books you like to read? What kind of genres?
恩我明白了。我想閱讀可以蠶食你的大腦。那麼你喜歡看哪種書呢？哪一類的？
Mark: Well, let's see, I've got a lot of nonfiction, a lot of comedy.
恩我想想，我看過很多非小說還有很多的喜劇片。
Todd: Cool, so actually, when you read, like where do you normally read?
太棒了，那你通常會喜歡在什麼地方閱讀呢？
Mark: Where do I normally read? On the trains, actually. I'm always reading on the trains. I read because I'm always traveling to work. A lot of pleasure.
在什麼地方閱讀？在火車上吧。我總是在火車上看書。因爲我總是坐車去工作，看書會帶來樂趣。
And it's funny because I meet people on the trains when I'm reading, they look over at my book.
而且真的很有意思，因爲在我看書的時候，周圍的人也會湊過來看。
Todd: That's cool. I love to read on the trains.
那種感覺很棒。我很喜歡在火車上看書。
