Ruth: Sure.
魯斯:沒問題。
Akane: So who is the funniest person in your family?
茜:你家里誰是最有意思的人?
Ruth: The funniest person! Probably my mom actually. She's really funny. She's got a really good sense of humor, and she plays tricks on people, and she's really silly but everybody in my family has a good sense of humor.
魯斯:最有意思的人!那可能是我媽媽。她非常有趣。她有很強的幽默感,她還會捉弄別人,她經(jīng)常做些傻事,不過我們家所有人都有很強的幽默感。
Akane: Oh, good. Now who is the most serious person in your family?
茜:哦,真好。那你家里最嚴(yán)肅的人是誰?
Ruth: Serious. Do you know, actually, I don't think anybody in my family is serious.
魯斯:嚴(yán)肅。你知道嗎,事實上我認(rèn)為我家里的人都不嚴(yán)肅。
Akane: Oh, really.
茜:哦,真的嗎?
Ruth: I don't think we have any very serious members.
魯斯:我想我們家沒有非常嚴(yán)肅的人。
Akane: Do you think that's a good thing or a bad thing?
茜:你覺得那是件好事還是壞事?
Ruth: I think it's a good thing although occasionally, I think it's a bad thing.
魯斯:我覺得是好事,雖然有時這可能也是壞事。
Akane: Right! Now who is the hardest worker?
茜:沒錯!那誰是最努力工作的人?
Ruth: Oh, can I say me?
魯斯:哦,我可以說是我自己嗎?
Akane: Sure.
茜:當(dāng)然可以。
Ruth: No, I don't think that's true actually. Well, both of my parents work very hard, and they both have very different jobs, but they both work very hard and always have done.
魯斯:實際上并不是這樣。我父母也很努力工作,他們的工作不同,但是他們都很努力地工作,而且工作完成得很好。
Akane: Well, parents do tend to be hardworking.
茜:好,父母一般都工作很認(rèn)真。
Ruth: That's true, yeah!
魯斯:沒錯,是的!
Akane: And who is the most generous person in your whole family?
茜:那誰是你們家最大方的人?
Ruth: My brother is really generous and he makes me feel bad because he's so generous in buying me things and giving me things, and I would say my brother.
魯斯:我哥哥真的很大方,他讓我覺得很過意不去,因為他非常大方,總是給我買東西還有送我東西,所以最大方的人是我哥哥。
Akane: Really, what's the last thing he bought you.
茜:真的嗎?那上次他給你買什么了?
Ruth: Ah, that's a good question. He bought me some clothes actually before I came to Japan.
魯斯:啊,這是個好問題。在我來日本之前他給我買了些衣服。
Akane: And who do you talk with the most in your family?
茜:那你在家里和誰聊的最多?
Ruth: All of them really, but I suppose deep down I maybe talk to my mom the most. I tell her most things.
魯斯:所有的家人,不過我想在我內(nèi)心深處我認(rèn)為和我媽媽聊的最多。我會把大部分事情都告訴她。
Akane: Really! What kind of things do you tell her?
茜:真的嗎?那你一般都跟她說什么事?
Ruth: Just everything that's going off in my life, really, because she's a really good friend to me so, I'm just very open with her, and she's open with me.
魯斯:就是在我生活中發(fā)生的所有事,因為她對我來說是非常好的朋友,我和她無話不談,她和我也是無話不談。
Akane: That's excellent. Who do you resemble the most in your family?
茜:那太好了。你和家里的哪個人最像?
Ruth: Some people say I look like me mom and some people say I look like my dad but most people say I look like my brother, so maybe my brother.
魯斯:有些人說我長得像媽媽,也有些人說我長得像爸爸,不過大部分人都認(rèn)為我和我哥哥最像,所以可能是我哥哥吧。
