你去過哪些國家？在那里生活多久了
今天的這段對話，在討論出國，
你去過哪些國家？在那里生活多久了
來聽今天的講解:
A: We are sitting here together in Spain but you are far away from your home country. Are you often abroad?
現(xiàn)在我們都在西班牙，不過這里離你的祖國很遠。你經(jīng)常出國嗎？
B: I'm actually all the time abroad, I'm living abroad.
可以說我一直在外國，我在國外生活。
A: Oh, so you live in Spain for how long?
哦，那你在西班牙生活多長時間了？
B: Yes, now I'm living in Spain. As I said before, I'm 31 and when I was 18 I finished school and I didn't know exactly which direction to go, what to study, so my mom said as well, "Go to Spain, be there for two/three months, do a summer season and when you're back you will know what to do."
我現(xiàn)在在西班牙生活。我之前說過，我今年31歲，我18歲完成學業(yè)后，不知道應該往哪個方向走，不知道應該學些什么，所以我媽媽跟我說：“去西班牙吧，去那里生活兩三個月，去那里找份暑期工作，等你回來時你就知道要做什么了”。
A: And what happened?
然后發(fā)生了什么？
B: Well, I guess the typical story. No, I liked the country and I liked the job that I was doing, I wasn't that bad at it so they offered me an extension and in the end I did the whole season.
我認為之后發(fā)生的是就是那種典型的故事。我喜歡西班牙，我喜歡我當時做的那份工作，我的表現(xiàn)還可以，所以他們延長了我的工作期限，我那段時間都在做那份工作。
A: Oh, nice. But what this experience make you feel if you go back in time, tell us like a resume about how you feel.
哦，真好。那這份經(jīng)歷對你來說意味著什么，回顧過去這段時間，你有什么想法？
B: Well, it's the whole learning experience, I mean I was a teen, I mean, I was an adult but still, you come from your mom who does everything for you, does your washing, your everyday life and all of a sudden you have to do that yourself. But on the one hand you like it, but on the other hand the responsibilities all come to you and you might not be all that prepared for it. But then I was in Spain, decided to finish the season. Then they offered me a replacement on another island to do winter season as well so in the end I stayed and stayed and stayed and had to learn myself, to do everything myself, cooking, washing, paperwork, actually everything.
嗯，這是學習經(jīng)驗，我當時是青年人，雖然我已經(jīng)成年，不過當時我媽媽還在我打理一切，她幫我洗衣服，照顧我每天的生活，可是突然之間我必須要自己做這些事。一方面我很喜歡這種狀態(tài)，另一方面我要開始承擔責任，可是也許我還沒有做好準備。我在西班牙決定完成工作。然后他們給我提供了另一座島上的冬季工作，然后我就留了下來，我要學習自己做所有的事情，比如做飯、洗衣服，還有一些方案工作，所有事都要自己處理。
A: Well, that's nice. No, that means become an adult.
這很好。這說明你成為大人了。
B: Yes, it's true but maybe that's not the time that you want to become an adult. I mean, when you're 18 it's the time maybe to enjoy life, to do things you wouldn't do as an adult, but I came to that age quite early and took all the responsibilities so maybe, I'm not going to say I miss that step but I was responsible on an early age, let's say.
對，沒錯，不過也許那并不是你想成為大人的時間。當時我只有18歲，那正是享受生活的時間，去做那些大人不會去做的事情，可是我成為大人的時間太早了，我要承擔起所有的責任，我并不是說我錯過了那些，我只是說我在年輕的年紀就要開始負責了。
A: Oh, okay. Well, I don't know, how will you see your life if you will have stayed in Belgium instead?
好。你認為如果你留在比利時你的生活會怎樣？
B: It probably would have been totally different. I mean, I can't see myself now living in Belgium. I do go once or twice a year to see family and friends but life is different there. I mean, all my friends of my age, they're married, they have their children and going back is still neat and you go out and have a drink but that's it, maybe you see them once or twice a month because they all have their lives so I feel that now my life is going to be here, it'll probably be here for the future.
我可能會過完全不同的生活。我沒法想象我在比利時的生活。我每年會回比利時一兩次，去看望家人和朋友，不過那里的生活完全不同。和我差不多大的朋友都結婚有孩子了，我回去的時候感覺還是挺好的，我會和朋友們出去喝酒，可能一個月見他們一兩次，因為他們都有自己的生活，我感覺我的生活在西班牙，未來我也會在這里生活。
A: Well, that's not bad either, right?
不過也不糟，對吧？
B: No, no, it's not too bad. So, that's why I'm saying, I mean, if you ask me for a learning experience, this was all complete learning experience from now the last 13 years from when I was 18 and of course there are ups and downs, you fall, you get up. But the good thing is you make your own decisions so whatever happens it's because of you. You fall because it's your fault and you get up because it's your merit. So in the end it's good that you experience this for yourself.
不，不是太糟。所以我才會說，如果你問我學習心得，我會說這13年都是我的學習經(jīng)驗，從我18歲開始到現(xiàn)在的這13年，這段時間有起有落，有失敗，有成功。好的方面是，你是自己做決定，所以無論發(fā)生什么，那都是你的選擇。你失敗是因為你犯了錯，你成功是因為你表現(xiàn)好。說到底，經(jīng)歷了這么多是件好事。
A: So with luck, good luck.
祝你好運。
B: Thank you.
謝謝。
