實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語情景對(duì)話：Talent Wish 希望擁有的才能(1)

Gyri: What are some talents you wish you had?

格里：你希望擁有哪些才能?

Viyasan: I would say this talent spreads a long time back and it's always something I'm very envious about. I don't have the best memory and so I really wish that my talent was to remember a lot easier or even have photographic memory. I think that would be very useful, especially as a student during exams where we're able to read quite a bit and remember all of it. I think that talent would be interesting to have because I wouldn't always be forgetting daily things, like my keys to my apartment.

維亞森：有一種才能我一直想要擁有，而且我一直很羨慕擁有這種才能的人。我記憶力不太好，我非常希望我擁有能輕松記住大量信息的才能或是過目不忘的記憶力。我認(rèn)為這種才能非常有用，尤其對(duì)學(xué)生來說，在準(zhǔn)備考試時(shí)能復(fù)習(xí)大量知識(shí)并全部記住。我認(rèn)為擁有這種才能很重要，因?yàn)檫@樣我就不會(huì)總忘記日常事務(wù)了，可以避免忘帶公寓鑰匙之類的事情。

Gyri: Right.

格里：對(duì)。

Viyasan: Or for example, my water bottle every single time I leave for class. I think memory is very important and it's very good to remember certain conversations with people. For example, sometimes I might have a conversation with someone and completely forget that I talked about that topic and then just be reminded of it when I talk to that person the next time.

維亞森：比如，我每次都把水瓶忘在教室。我認(rèn)為記憶力非常重要，記住和他人的特定對(duì)話非常有必要。舉例來說，有時(shí)我可能在和他人交流后完全忘掉剛才的話題，下次再和那個(gè)人聊天時(shí)才會(huì)想起來。

Gyri: Yeah.

格里：嗯。

Viyasan: I think having a better memory or photographic memory would be great for those situations.

維亞森：我認(rèn)為對(duì)這些情況來說，擁有較好的記憶力或是過目不忘的記憶力非常重要。

Gyri: Yeah, definitely.

格里：對(duì)，絕對(duì)是。

Viyasan: And yourself? What are some talents that you wish you had?

維亞森：你呢?你希望擁有哪些才能?

Gyri: I wish that I could dance. I have no rhythm at all.

格里：我希望我能跳舞。我完全沒有節(jié)奏感。

Viyasan: Yeah.

維亞森：嗯。

Gyri: I feel so stupid when like if we go out or we listen to music, I just look really goofy when I try to dance, but I feel like dancing so I still try, but it just looks horrible. Yeah, I wish I had more rhythm and the ability to learn dance moves, I guess.

格里：我感覺自己很笨拙，我們出去玩或聽音樂時(shí)，我在嘗試跳舞時(shí)看上去非?；?，可是我喜歡跳舞，所以我仍會(huì)嘗試，可是看上去很糟糕。我希望我能有更多節(jié)奏感，擁有學(xué)習(xí)舞蹈動(dòng)作的能力。

Viyasan: Yeah, I would say that dancing is definitely a talent that some people have. Likewise, I do not have any rhythm so I'll join you on that same dance floor.

維亞森：嗯，跳舞絕對(duì)是有些人擁有的才能。我也沒有節(jié)奏感，我可以和你在同一個(gè)舞池跳舞。嗯。

Gyri: Yeah.

格里：嗯。

Viyasan: Even though I like to dance, I don't dance very well.

維亞森：雖然我喜歡跳舞，但是我跳得不太好。

Gyri: Yeah. Yeah, I wish that I was better at sports as well. I really like downhill skiing, for example, but I never skied a lot, like my dad, he skied professionally when he was young, and I'm kind of bitter that he didn't take me up to the hills more than he did because if I had started at a young age I could be really good right now, but I didn't, so I'm a casual skier but I really wish that I could be like better than average in something, especially a sport.

格里：嗯。好，我還希望我能更擅長(zhǎng)體育運(yùn)動(dòng)。舉例來說，我非常喜歡高山滑雪，可是我沒有經(jīng)常去滑雪，我爸爸年輕時(shí)是職業(yè)滑雪運(yùn)動(dòng)員，他沒有經(jīng)常帶我去山上滑雪這點(diǎn)令我感到不滿，因?yàn)槿绻乙矎男【毣?，那我現(xiàn)在可能會(huì)滑得非常好，可是我并沒有，現(xiàn)在我是業(yè)余滑雪選手，我非常希望我能在某件事上高于平均水平，尤其是運(yùn)動(dòng)方面。

Viyasan: Got it, got it.

維亞森：我明白，我明白。
