Asking about an accent
A: You have an unusual accent, Mr. Robbins. Where are you from originally? If you don’t mind me asking.
B: Not at all. I was born in Madrid, but I came to the States when I was a teenager.
A; I guess that must be what I’m hearing, I really couldn’t place it. Do go back to Madrid often?
B: No, I haven’t been back for more than ten years.
哪的口音
A:你的口音很特別,羅賓斯女士。是哪里人? 不介意我問吧?
B:沒關(guān)系. 我在馬德里出生,但十幾歲時就到了美國。
A:我聽著也差不多,只是搞不準是哪里的口音。你?;伛R德里嗎?
B:不是,我有十多年沒回去了。
