今天的這段對(duì)話,在討論想做的事,
有哪些事是你想做但現(xiàn)在做不到的
來(lái)聽今天的講解:
A: So, Rebecca, let's talk about things we wish could do that we can't do. What is something you wish you could do, that you can't do now?
麗貝卡,我們來(lái)談?wù)勎覀兿M龅亲霾坏降氖?。有哪些事是你想做可是現(xiàn)在做不到的?
B: I think it would be definitely playing music, like playing a guitar. Some of my friends can just pull out a guitar and start singing and then you have everybody around and it's such a great night. I just wish I could join them and actually, yeah, have fun with that as well, but no, I can't play guitar.
那肯定是演奏樂(lè)器,彈吉他這樣的事情。我有一些朋友可以邊彈吉他邊唱歌,這會(huì)把所有人都吸引到他們身邊去,大家一起度過(guò)愉快的夜晚時(shí)光。我希望我也能加入,像他們那樣開心地玩,可是我不會(huì)彈吉他。
A: So, if you could play any instrument, it would be the guitar?
如果你能演奏一種樂(lè)器,你希望是吉他嗎?
B: Yeah. Yeah. I think so. I have played piano and saxophone before but not overly that well.
對(duì),沒(méi)錯(cuò)。我希望這樣。我之前彈鋼琴、吹薩克斯,可是都不是很精通。
A: Oh, really so you actually had musical training?
哦,你以前受過(guò)音樂(lè)訓(xùn)練?
B: Yeah, when I was in high school.
對(duì),上高中的時(shí)候。
A: In the piano and the saxophone?
彈鋼琴和吹薩克斯?
B: Yep. Yeah. The saxophone was maybe for one or two years and I would love to get back into playing that as well, but they're quite expensive little instruments actually.
對(duì),是的。薩克斯我練習(xí)了一兩年,我也想再繼續(xù)練習(xí)薩克斯,不過(guò)薩克斯這種樂(lè)器非常貴。
A: Yeah. Slightly.
對(duì),有點(diǎn)貴。
B: And then the piano is very large so, you can't really transport that around with you wherever you go.
鋼琴太大了,不能隨身攜帶。
A: So do you think that if had learned music at a younger age, you would still be with it? Was the problem just that you waited too late in life to start?
如果你從小開始接觸音樂(lè),那你現(xiàn)在還會(huì)堅(jiān)持嗎?你是不是覺(jué)得你接觸音樂(lè)的時(shí)間太晚了?
B: I don't think so. I think it's more the friends circle that I was with. We weren't really a musical group and the people that I've met now are really musical so you sort of wish maybe if I had kept going I could have joined them now, but I do enjoy listening to them.
我不這么認(rèn)為。我認(rèn)為和朋友圈有很大的關(guān)系,以前我接觸的人和音樂(lè)沒(méi)有關(guān)系,現(xiàn)在我的朋友都會(huì)演奏樂(lè)器,如果我一直練習(xí)樂(lè)器的話,那我現(xiàn)在也可以和他們一起演奏了,不過(guò)我很享受聽他們的演奏。
A: Well, what about singing? Are you a good singer?
那唱歌呢?你唱的好嗎?
B: No. Not at all. I don't think I want to be a good singer either cause then everybody would expect you to sing all the time so I just do backup vocals. Really badly.
不好,一點(diǎn)兒也不好。我并不想成為好歌手,因?yàn)槿绻愠韬芎?,那其他人就?huì)一直讓你唱歌,我只能做伴唱。我唱得很差。
A: Well, I'm the same way. I can't sing at all. OK, so basically you wish you could play the guitar, but you have played the piano and the saxophone before.
我和你一樣,我唱的一點(diǎn)兒都不好?;旧蟻?lái)說(shuō),你希望能彈吉他,你之前有彈鋼琴和吹薩克斯。
B: Yes.
對(duì)。
A: OK, is there anything else that you wish you could do?
好,你還有其他想做的事情嗎?
B: To be able to speak maybe a couple languages would be nice.
我要是能掌握幾門語(yǔ)言就太好了。
A: Yeah, that's a good one. So if you could speak any two languages, what two would you want to speak?
對(duì),這個(gè)不錯(cuò)。如果你能說(shuō)兩種語(yǔ)言,你希望是哪兩種?
B: I think Japanese and Spanish.
日語(yǔ)和西班牙語(yǔ)。
A: Japanese and Spanish.
日語(yǔ)和西班牙語(yǔ)。
B: Yeah. Yeah. They both sound really interesting and they're both the countries that I would like to go and visit and maybe attempt to work there but you need to be able to speak the language before you can work.
對(duì),對(duì)。這兩種語(yǔ)言聽起來(lái)很有意思,而且這兩個(gè)國(guó)家也是我想去游覽并工作的地方,在工作之前要先掌握語(yǔ)言。
A: Right. That's true. I think if I could choose any two languages I would choose Chinese and Arabic just because both those languages when I hear them they sound so completely impossible to speak, so if you could speak those, that would be pretty amazing.
對(duì),沒(méi)錯(cuò)。如果我能選擇兩種語(yǔ)言,那我會(huì)選中文和阿拉伯語(yǔ),因?yàn)槲矣X(jué)得這兩種語(yǔ)言的發(fā)音非常難,如果我能掌握這兩種語(yǔ)言,那就太棒了。
B: Yeah, definitely. Yeah, Chinese sounds like a hard language.
沒(méi)錯(cuò)。中文是很難的語(yǔ)言。
A: All those tones.
有很多音調(diào)。
