很高興認識你。我是菲爾，我來自英國。

嗨，菲爾，我來自美國。我之前在大樓里看到過你。你在這里住了多久了？
 
B: I've lived here for six months actually.
 
我在這里住了六個月了。
 
A: Oh, really.
 
哦，真的嗎？
 
B: Yeah.
 
對。
 
A: Well, I've been here for two months and I don't think , you know, we've haven't met yet, so.
 
嗯，我已經在這里生活兩個月了，我想我們還不認識。
 
B: I guess we're always busy at work. I never see you.
 
因為我們一直都很忙。我從來沒見過你。
 
A: Right. Right. Now, do you live on the fourth floor?
 
對，是的。你是住在四層嗎？
 
B: Yeah, yeah. I live actually quite near to your room, just right around the corner.
 
對。其實我的房間離你的很近，就在拐角那里。

A: Ah, OK. Actually, I'm 430, so.
 
好。我住在430號。
 
B: I'm lucky my room's at the end of the corridor so it's really quiet.
 
我的房間在走廊的盡頭，真的很幸運，因為那里非常安靜。
 
A: Yeah, you know, I was wondering though, at night I do my laundry sometimes and the laundry room is near your room and it makes a lot of noise. Does it keep you up at night?
 
你知道，有時我會在晚上去洗衣房，洗衣房離你的房間很近，洗衣服的時候會有很大的噪音，這會不會使你晚上無法入睡？
 
B: I've never heard it to be honest. Maybe I'm a really good sleeper or something.
 
說實話，我從來沒有聽見過洗衣服的聲音。也許是因為我睡得很深吧。
 
A: Oh, good.
 
哦，好。
 
B: I never hear it.
 
我從來沒聽見過。
 
A: So, what do you do?
 
你做什么工作？

我在這附近教英語。
 
A: Oh, really, actually so am I.
 
哦，真的嗎，我也是英語老師。
 
B: Oh, really. I only teach junior high school, so quite young children.
 
是嗎？我只在初中教英語，所以我教的都是年紀小的孩子。
 
A: Ah, that's cool. I'm the opposite. I teach mainly university students.
 
這很酷。我和你正相反。我主要教大學生。
 
B: Oh, OK, yeah. Junior high school students are really good but, quite often they like to sleep in the lesson. Maybe, I'm just a boring teacher. I don't know.
 
哦，好。初中生很好，不過他們經常在課堂上睡覺?？赡苁且驗槲业恼n很無聊吧。我也不知道原因。
 
A: Nah, nah. I think it's just cause when they're young kids. Yeah, the university kids are nice, but I think you have a lot more holidays though.
 
我覺得不是。我認為是因為他們還是孩子。大學生很不錯，你的假期應該更多吧。
 
B: Yeah, that's true. Recently, I had five weeks summer vacation. I was really lucky.
 
對，沒錯。最近我剛休了五周的暑假。我非常幸運。

我太羨慕你了。這太好了。你覺得我們住的這座大樓怎么樣？
 
B: Actually, I really like it. The rooms are quite small. The atmosphere, everyone is so friendly, and I get to meet people from all over the world and talk to them in different languages if I can and it's really interesting.
 
我非常喜歡。雖然房間非常小，但是氣氛很好，而且這里的所有人都很友好，在這里我能認識世界各地的人，而且如果可以的話，我會用不同的語言和他們聊天，這非常有趣。
 
A: Yeah, I agree. I really like living here. I mean, you know sometimes, I like to be by myself, you know, but I have to admit, I really like having so many people that you can talk to in the building.
 
對，我同意。我也很喜歡住在這里。有時我喜歡一個人待著，不過我得承認，我非常喜歡能和樓里的很多人聊天的感覺。
 
B: Yeah, it's really nice and there's really good places to prepare food and everything is really clean and nice so it's a really nice place to live.

你打算在這里住多長時間？
