实战口语情景对话：Seasons 季节

Todd: So, Marion, what you do you think of the winter we are having?

托德：马丽恩，你怎么看我们正在经历的冬天?

Marion: The winter at the moment, it's very cold, isn't it, but most of the time it's quite sunny as well. It's dry at least, so I quite like winter days that are sunny like today. I was outside and even though at first it seems quite cold, afterwards, with the sun we kind of warmed up very quickly.

马丽恩：目前是冬季，天气非常冷，是吧?不过大部分时间都是阳光明媚的。至少天气很干燥，所以我很喜欢像今天这样的晴朗冬日。在外面的时候虽然一开始非常冷，但是因为有太阳，我们很快就会暖和起来的。

Todd: Yeah, it was nice today, but winter is not my favorite season. No, I want winter to be over very quickly. But soon spring will be here and spring is good. I like spring, and then summer. I love summer. Summer is my favorite season.

托德：对，今天天气非常好，不过冬季并不是我最喜欢的季节。我希望冬天快点结束。不过春天马上就要到了，春天非常好。我喜欢春天，春天之后就是夏天。我也喜欢夏天。夏天是我最爱的季节。

Marion: Really? Even when it's really, really hot?

马丽恩：真的吗?即使夏天非常非常热?

Todd: Oh, I love it! Last year, it was really, really hot and everybody, every day would complain, and say it was so hot, but I loved it. The hotter the better. I think it's very relaxing and it calms me down actually. I feel calm and very relaxed in very hot weather.

托德：哦，我喜欢!去年夏天真的非常非常热，所有人每天都在抱怨，说天气太热了，不过我很喜欢。越热越好。我认为那令人很放松，而且可以让我平静下来。我在非常热的天气里会感到平静和放松。

Marion: I quite like hot weather as well, but last summer, the summer you are talking about, I had to go on a very crowded train every morning, so when you have a crowded train, and it's very, very hot, it ends up being quite disgusting, piled in against all these sweaty people, so I didn't like last summer for that reason.

马丽恩：我也很喜欢炎热的天气，不过你刚才谈到的夏天，就是去年夏天，我不得不每天早上去坐非常拥挤的火车，而拥挤的火车里真的非常非常热，而且让人感觉很恶心，要和满身是汗的人挤来挤去，因为这个理由，我很不喜欢去年夏天。

Todd: Well, what's your favorite season?

托德：嗯，那你最喜欢的季节是什么?

Marion: Ah, autumn is my favorite season, cause I think, because every autumn I start at school. It always feels like a new beginning, time of year, for me, more so than January. I feel like September is a good time to change things and a good time to start new things, and also the trees are beautiful and the weather is quite mild and nice. How about you? What's your favorite season?

马丽恩：啊，秋天是我最爱的季节，我想是因为每个秋天都是开学的时候。这让人感觉是一年中的新的开始，对我来说，相比于1月份，秋天才是新的开始。我感觉九月是作出改变的最好时机，也是开始新事物的最好时机，而且树木也很漂亮，天气温和又怡人。你呢?你最喜欢的季节是什么?

Todd: Well, it's probably a tie between summer and fall, for what you just said, I agree. The fall has great weather, the trees are beautiful, it's a good time to be outside. It rarely rains, and I hate the rain and plus, my birthday is in October, and Halloween which is a fun holiday.

托德：嗯，可能是夏天到秋天之间的那个阶段，你刚刚说的我很赞同。秋天是非常棒的季节，树木很漂亮，是适合外出的好时节。秋天很少下雨，我讨厌下雨，还有，我的生日在十月，而且有趣的节日万圣节也在秋天。

Marion: Right, that's good.

马丽恩：没错，那真好。
