實戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：Rainy Routine 下雨時的安排

Valeria: For example in Argentina if it is raining, it's like you change your schedule a little, right?

瓦萊里婭：在阿根廷，如果下雨的話，就要稍微改變一下行程安排，對吧?

Diego: Yeah.

迭戈：對。

Valeria: Because of the rain, because it's not like every day raining. But here you have to do everything under the rain.

瓦萊里婭：因為不是每天都下雨。不過在這里，就要頂著雨做事了。

Diego: Yeah, but at the same time it, everything is made and it's built to kind of you know work with the rain.

迭戈：對，不過這里的一切都是為了應對在下雨天工作而準備的。

Valeria: Yeah, for instance, the clothes, right?

瓦萊里婭：沒錯，比如衣服，對吧?

Diego: Yeah, the clothes and all the facilities, you know everything is made for that.

迭戈：對，衣服，還有所有的設施，你知道所有的東西都是為了應對天氣設計的。

Valeria: It's preparing for having a lot of water.

瓦萊里婭：為了應對大量的雨水而準備的。

Diego: Yeah, exactly. If you have, I don't know, two or three days in a row that it's raining in Chile, we will have serious problems.

迭戈：沒錯。如果智利連續(xù)下兩三天雨，那我們就會面臨嚴重的問題。

Valeria: The same happens in Argentina.

瓦萊里婭：阿根廷也是如此。

Diego: Floods and that would be an issue so for me the weather thing is I like rain, just a little bit.

迭戈：可能會引發(fā)洪水等問題，對我來說，我喜歡下雨，但是不喜歡雨水太多。

Valeria: Yeah, from time to time it's really nice.

瓦萊里婭：對，偶爾下點雨還是很好的。

Diego: Yeah, exactly.

迭戈：對，沒錯。

Valeria: And enjoyable.

瓦萊里婭：很享受。

Diego: Yeah.

迭戈：對。

Valeria: But every day? Yes, it's true. The thing is that the weather is changing, right?

瓦萊里婭：可是每天下雨?沒錯，問題是天氣很多變，對吧?

Diego: Yeah.

迭戈：對。

Valeria: And the infrastructure of my country wasn't prepared for this weather.

瓦萊里婭：我們國家的基礎設施并沒有準備好應對這種天氣。

Diego: That's true.

迭戈：沒錯。

Valeria: So if it rains a couple of days in a row, sometimes the city collapses.

瓦萊里婭：如果連續(xù)下幾天雨，城市可能就毀了。

Diego: That's true. A lot of cities in Latin America have the same problem. They're poorly constructed and for that specific thing and we have a lot of problems especially with poor people. So when you talk about the weather I think it's not only your personal thing, sometimes you have to consider a couple of other factors as well.

迭戈：沒錯。拉美很多城市都有同樣的問題。這些城市構造不佳，而且由于貧窮人口，我們有很多問題。所以在談論天氣時，我認為這并不是個人的事，也要考慮許多其他的因素。

Valeria: And the public transport?

瓦萊里婭：公共交通呢?

Diego: Yeah, I think that's another issue because for us public transportation is just a complete mess.

迭戈：對，我認為公共交通是另一個問題，我們認為公共交通完全是一團糟。

Valeria: There are a lot of public transport in Argentina but the thing is that all the infrastructure is not prepared for a lot of rain so when it happens sometimes the subway should stop for a couple of hours and that is very annoying.

瓦萊里婭：阿根廷有很多公共交通工具，但是問題是所有的基礎設施都沒有為多雨天氣做準備，所以當連續(xù)下雨時，地鐵就會停運幾小時，這令人非常惱火。

Diego: Because it changes the whole schedule, right?

迭戈：因為這會改變整個行程計劃，對吧?

Valeria: Yes, definitely.

瓦萊里婭：沒錯。
