芬蘭是個什么樣的國家，加入歐盟后很多年輕人會離開芬蘭去其他國家嗎
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: Mariel, you are from Finland.
 
瑪麗埃爾，你來自芬蘭。
 
B: Oh, yeah. Yes, I am.
 
對，我來自芬蘭。
 
A: What city are you from?
 
你來自哪座城市？
 
B: I live in a city called Espoo, which is right next to Helsinki, but I was born in the center of Finland in a place called Jyvaskyla.
 
我生活在埃斯波，這個城市和赫爾辛基相鄰，不過我出生在芬蘭中部城市于韋斯屈萊。
 
A: Right in the middle?
 
在芬蘭中心嗎？
 
B: Yeah, pretty much right in the middle.
 
對，在芬蘭中心。
 
A: So is that way out in nature in the forest, or is it a big city?
 
那座城市被森林這樣的自然景觀包圍，還是一座大城市？
 
B: It's a reasonable size city, maybe the fifth largest in Finland, but it is very, a very natural place still. It's surrounded by lakes and forests and lots of cliffs and really beautiful scenery. Yeah.
 
那座城市的規(guī)模合理，應該是芬蘭的第五大城市，不過那里仍然極具自然特性。那里被湖泊、森林和懸崖包圍，景色非常美。
 
A: Well, that sounds nice.
 
聽起來不錯。
 
B: Yeah. Yeah, I love it there. I go back there every year to visit my hometown.
 
對，我非常喜歡那里。我每年都會回家鄉(xiāng)看看。
 
A: Now does your family still live in your hometown?
 
你家人還住在家鄉(xiāng)嗎？
 
B: No, they live down south near Helsinki.
 
沒有了，他們現在住在離赫爾辛基很近的一個南部城市。
 
A: OK, is that common? Everybody moves to the big city.
 
這種現象很普遍嗎？所有人都搬去大城市。
 
B: Pretty much, yeah. Especially young people. They want to get jobs and go to schools near Helsinki. Yeah.
 
非常普遍。在年輕人中間尤為普遍。他們想在赫爾辛基附近找工作、上學。
 
A: Now is Finland part of the European Union?
 
芬蘭是歐盟成員國吧？
 
B: Yes, it is since 1995.
 
對，芬蘭1995年加入了歐盟。
 
A: OK, so because it's part of the European Union do a lot of young people decide to leave Finland and go live in other countries?
 
好，既然芬蘭是歐盟成員國，那有沒有很多年輕人離開芬蘭去其他國家？
 
B: The Finnish young people are actually very outgoing and they're very interested foreign cultures so a lot of people take a year or two just to travel, just to see the world, visit some places, and yeah, a lot of people go out to other countries to study as well. Yep, mainly Europe but also a lot of my friends for example went to India for six months or to South America.
 
芬蘭人很開朗，對外國文化非常感興趣，所以有許多人會用一到兩年的時間去旅游，看看這個世界，參觀各個景點，也有許多人去外國留學。多數人會去歐洲國家，不過我也有很多朋友會在印度生活過六個月，也有人去南美洲。
 
A: OK. Sounds fun.
 
好，聽起來真有意思。
 
B: Yeah.
 
對。
 
A: But because you're in the European Union you can go live in France or Germany or Spain if you want, correct?
 
因為芬蘭是歐盟成員國，所以如果你們想，你們就可以去法國、德國或是西班牙生活，對吧？
 
B: Yeah. It's very easy. Just go.
 
對，而且很簡單。只要過去就可以了。
 
A: But do most Finnish people prefer to stay in Finland or do a lot of people like to go move to warmer climates?
 
那大部分芬蘭人是更喜歡留在芬蘭，還是喜歡搬去擁有溫暖氣候的國家生活？
 
B: Finnish people are very patriotic. We really love our country. We like to visit other places but I think even if we live abroad for a long time most people always some back to Finland. I think especially if they want to have a family because Finland is a very safe place and it's very good to raise your kids in Finland.
 
芬蘭人非常愛國。我們很愛我們的國家。我們喜歡去其他地方旅游，但是我認為即使我們在外國生活了很長時間，大部分芬蘭人還是會回到芬蘭。尤其是在他們想組建家庭時，因為芬蘭是一個非常安全的國家，很適合撫養(yǎng)孩子。
 
A: Sounds like a nice place.
 
聽起來是個不錯的地方。
 
B: Yeah, I think so. You should come and visit.
 
對，我是這么認為的。你應該來玩玩。
 
A: Oh, I'd love to.
 
哦，我很樂意去。
