Todd: Clare, you're from England. 克莱尔,你来自英国。
Clare: That's right. 没错。
Todd: How would you compare England and Japan? 你怎么对比英国和日本呢?
Clare: Well, I think, let's take price-wise, they're actually quite similar. Well, not, maybe not England as a whole but, say Japan and London is very similar, I found in supermarkets, in housing 1, and things like that. In other respects, the people are certainly different. I mean, British people are renowned 2 to be very polite as Japanese people are too, and Japanese people are very helpful as well, probably more so than British people I would say. Mm, what else? 物价上来说,两个国家基本一样。也许不能说整个英国的物价和日本一样,可以说日本和伦敦的物价很接近,比如超市商品的价格,房价都很接近。其他方面,英国人和日本人肯定很不同。英国人被公认为很有礼貌,日本人也是如此,日本人也很乐于助人,也许比英国人还乐于助人。其他方面?
Todd: What about the weather? 天气方面呢?
Clare: The weather? Well, it's been raining a lot in Japan recently so we could say that it's quite similar, although actually, when I was e-mailing my parents, they've been going on about how there hasn't been much rain the past couple of months and how they think there is going to be a drought 3. That typical British stereotype 4 of the weather is not true at the minute and it's probably wetter in Japan, but yeah, I think that climate wise it's quite similar in terms of temperature. It's definitely 5 much more humid here than at home. 天气?最近日本的雨水很多,因此可以说在天气上英国和日本也很相似,虽然我和父母电子邮件联系的时候,他们总是说最近几个月英国没怎么下雨,他们认为英国将会发生干旱灾害了。现在英国的天气并不是英国最典型的天气,日本这边更加湿润,但气温上说两个国家的温度是相近的。现在日本的天气绝对比英国湿润。
Todd: OK. Thanks a lot. 好的。非常感谢。
