地道美语听力播客755: 描述距离（双语）

Sandra: Where will we be staying when we visit Trumanville? 
桑德拉：我们参观朱曼维尔时住在哪儿？
Roger: We’ll be staying in a neighborhood on the outskirts of the town, but a stone’s throw from some of the major sites we’ll want to see. 
罗格：我们会住在城镇郊区的一个邻居家里，但是离我们想要看的景点很近。
Sandra: I hope there’ll be a lot of taxis around. You know I hate to walk. 
桑德拉：希望周围有很多出租车，你知道我讨厌步行。
Roger: Trumanville is a very walkable city and we’ll be within walking distance to everything. We’ll be able to go nearly everywhere on foot. 
罗格：朱曼维尔是个适于步行的城市，步行就能到达各个地方。我们可以步行去任何地方。
Sandra: I told you. I hate to walk. At least we’ll be within close proximity to the beach. 
桑德拉：已经告诉你了，我讨厌步行。至少我们离海滩很近。
Roger: Actually, the areas near the beach are too expensive, and we can’t afford it. And plus, the beach is in a remote part of town, and staying there would mean being in the boonies for our entire trip. 
罗格：实际上，靠近海滩的地区都很昂贵，我们负担不起。此外，海滩在城镇的偏远地区，待在那儿也就意味着我们整个旅行就待在荒郊野地了。
Sandra: But we could take taxis. 
桑德拉：但是我们可以乘坐出租车。
Roger: Taking taxis everywhere would be really expensive. 
罗格：乘坐出租车到达任何地方都会很昂贵。
Sandra: Tell me that we’ll at least be in the vicinity of good shopping areas. 
桑德拉：至少告诉我：我们离购物区很近吧。
Roger: It might be a bit of a hike to the shops, but it won’t be too onerous to walk. 
罗格：也许需要稍稍长途步行到商店，但是步行去不会很难。
Sandra: Read my lips. I don’t want to walk everywhere. Maybe we can rent a car or hire a driver. 
桑德拉：看我的嘴型，我不想步行去任何地方。也许我们可以租一辆汽车或者雇一个司机。
Roger: Are you out of your mind?! This is supposed to be a budget vacation, not a luxury trip. I’m not made of money, you know. 
罗格：你疯了吗？这是次有预算的旅行，不是奢华的旅行。你知道我没有那么多钱。
Sandra: And I didn’t know you were such a cheapskate! 
桑德拉：过去不知道你是这个吝啬鬼。
