Todd: Hello.

托德：你好。

Phil: Hello. Good morning.

菲爾：你好，早上好。

Todd: Hi. I don't think we've met. My name's Todd.

托德：嗨。我想我們不認(rèn)識。我是托德。

Phil: Oh, nice to meet you. My name's Phil. I'm from England.

菲爾：很高興認(rèn)識你。我是菲爾，我來自英國。

Todd: Oh, hey Phil, I'm from the states. I've noticed you in the building. How long have you lived here?

托德：嗨，菲爾，我來自美國。我之前在大樓里看到過你。你在這里住了多久了？

Phil: I've lived here for six months actually.

菲爾：我在這里住了六個月了。

Todd: Oh, really.

托德：哦，真的嗎？

Phil: Yeah.

菲爾：對。

Todd: Well, I've been here for two months and I don't think , you know, we've haven't met yet, so.

托德：嗯，我已經(jīng)在這里生活兩個月了，我想我們還不認(rèn)識。

Phil: I guess we're always busy at work. I never see you.

菲爾：因為我們一直都很忙。我從來沒見過你。

Todd: Right. Right. Now, do you live on the fourth floor?

托德：對，是的。你是住在四層嗎？

Phil: Yeah, yeah. I live actually quite near to your room, just right around the corner.

菲爾：對。其實我的房間離你的很近，就在拐角那里。

Todd: Oh, really. What room number are you?

托德：哦，真的嗎？你的房間號是多少？

Phil: I'm 443.

菲爾：我在443號住。

Todd: Ah, OK. Actually, I'm 430, so.

托德：好。我住在430號。

Phil: I'm lucky my room's at the end of the corridor so it's really quiet.

菲爾：我的房間在走廊的盡頭，真的很幸運，因為那里非常安靜。

Todd: Yeah, you know, I was wondering though, at night I do my laundry sometimes and the laundry room is near your room and it makes a lot of noise. Does it keep you up at night?

托德：你知道，有時我會在晚上去洗衣房，洗衣房離你的房間很近，洗衣服的時候會有很大的噪音，這會不會使你晚上無法入睡？

Phil: I've never heard it to be honest. Maybe I'm a really good sleeper or something.

菲爾：說實話，我從來沒有聽見過洗衣服的聲音。也許是因為我睡得很深吧。

Todd: Oh, good.

托德：哦，好。

Phil: I never hear it.

菲爾：我從來沒聽見過。

Todd: So, what do you do?

托德：你做什么工作？

Phil: I'm an English teacher near here.

菲爾：我在這附近教英語。

Todd: Oh, really, actually so am I.

托德：哦，真的嗎，我也是英語老師。

Phil: Oh, really. I only teach junior high school, so quite young children.

菲爾：是嗎？我只在初中教英語，所以我教的都是年紀(jì)小的孩子。

Todd: Ah, that's cool. I'm the opposite. I teach mainly university students.

托德：這很酷。我和你正相反。我主要教大學(xué)生。

Phil: Oh, OK, yeah. Junior high school students are really good but, quite often they like to sleep in the lesson. Maybe, I'm just a boring teacher. I don't know.

菲爾：哦，好。初中生很好，不過他們經(jīng)常在課堂上睡覺?？赡苁且驗槲业恼n很無聊吧。我也不知道原因。

Todd: Nah, nah. I think it's just cause when they're young kids. Yeah, the university kids are nice, but I think you have a lot more holidays though.

托德：我覺得不是。我認(rèn)為是因為他們還是孩子。大學(xué)生很不錯，你的假期應(yīng)該更多吧。

Phil: Yeah, that's true. Recently, I had five weeks summer vacation. I was really lucky.

菲爾：對，沒錯。最近我剛休了五周的暑假。我非常幸運。

Todd: I'm jealous. That's nice. Hey, so what do you think of the building that we live in?

托德：我太羨慕你了。這太好了。你覺得我們住的這座大樓怎么樣？

Phil: Actually, I really like it. The rooms are quite small. The atmosphere, everyone is so friendly, and I get to meet people from all over the world and talk to them in different languages if I can and it's really interesting.

菲爾：我非常喜歡。雖然房間非常小，但是氣氛很好，而且這里的所有人都很友好，在這里我能認(rèn)識世界各地的人，而且如果可以的話，我會用不同的語言和他們聊天，這非常有趣。

Todd: Yeah, I agree. I really like living here. I mean, you know sometimes, I like to be by myself, you know, but I have to admit, I really like having so many people that you can talk to in the building.

托德：對，我同意。我也很喜歡住在這里。有時我喜歡一個人待著，不過我得承認(rèn)，我非常喜歡能和樓里的很多人聊天的感覺。

Phil: Yeah, it's really nice and there's really good places to prepare food and everything is really clean and nice so it's a really nice place to live.

菲爾：對，這非常好，而且還有可以準(zhǔn)備食物的地方，所有東西都很整潔，這里真的是一個適合居住的好地方。

Todd: How much longer do you think you're going to stay?

托德：你打算在這里住多長時間？

Phil: My contract is for another six months here, so I will stay that long and then maybe longer, I'm not sure.

菲爾：我的合同還有六個月，所以我至少會再住六個月的時間，之后我可能會繼續(xù)住在這里，我也不確定。

Todd: OK, well, anyway it was nice to meet you.

托德：哦，總之很高興認(rèn)識你。

Phil: Oh, yeah, nice to meet you, too.

菲爾：嗯，認(rèn)識你我也很高興。
