对话节选

先看看这个场景说了什么

  1. 对话 1

    It's strange seeing fake snow in shop windows when it's thirty degrees outside, isn't it?

    外面都三十度了,商店橱窗里却摆着假雪,看着挺奇怪的,对吧?

    中文提示

    It really is. December was always winter for me, so I'm still getting used to Christmas being in summer.

    真的。我以前十二月都是冬天,一时还不习惯圣诞节是在夏天。

  2. 对话 2

    Our seasons are the reverse of the Northern Hemisphere. December is summer here, while June is winter.

    我们的季节和北半球正好相反。这里十二月是夏天,六月才是冬天。

    中文提示

    So instead of sitting around a fireplace at Christmas, do you usually go outdoors?

    所以你们圣诞节一般不会围着壁炉,而是去户外吗?

  3. 对话 3

    Often, yes. Some families have a barbecue, eat seafood, or head to the beach after lunch.

    通常会。有些家庭会烧烤、吃海鲜,或者午饭后去海滩。

    中文提示

    That sounds more like a summer party. Do people still have the traditional roast dinner?

    听起来更像夏日聚会。你们还会吃传统的烤肉大餐吗?
