时间：2019-02-12 作者：英语课 分类：实战口语情景对话
I am totally 1 English but I spent my whole life basically 2 living in other countries, well, my parents spent most of my life living in other countries. I've actually been at school in England for quite a while of it. Living away from your own country is great. I guess it's really good when you're young you get to see different countries. I stopped off in Africa and Nigeria. I was actually born in England, but I went there fifteen days after I was born so, my first plane flight was 15 days old, and I can't really remember obviously 3 that much of that but then we went to Holland 4 for nine years, which is great and it's, you know, I'm very lucky to have grown up in a different culture, although very embarassingly I can's speak the language cause I always went to an Enlgish school, but it's kind of difficult cause you, wherever 5 you go, you make friends. You get close to people and then suddenly you have to move, and move house, go on to somewhere else, and I found this to be the sort 6 of hardest thing, when I was 8, I went off to boarding 7 school in England cause my parents thought I'd get a better education that way than moving around to different schools all over the world, and this was you know, it was good it was fun, but something like I always envied 8 was the way, all the other kids at school, there school friends were just their friends in term time, but their real friends were friends that, you know, they had known 9 since they were little, since you know, since they had been born or, you know their early school friends and they still knew them and you know even when I was 18 years old, still, my friend's from school had their real friends at home who they'd known all there lives, and I've kind of always envied that because we've always been moving around and as I say, you know, I'm very lucky, we've been in Holland, Scotland 10, and Africa, and I've very lucky to have seen all of these places but it's kind of hard as well, not having a root, not having a place where you can actually call your home, somewhere to go back to at the end of the day and have all of your family and friends around you.
我是彻头彻尾的英国人，可是我一生中几乎都生活在其他国家，我的父母使我生活在外国的时间非常长。其实我在英国上学的时间算很长了。住在其他国家非常棒。我想在你年轻的时候去不同的国家看看很好。我在非洲和尼日利亚待过一段时间。实际上我是在英国出生的，但是我出生十五天以后就去了非洲，我在15天的时候第一次坐飞机，显然我并不记得那次飞行的太多事情，之后我们在荷兰生活了9年的时间，这非常好，你知道，能在不同的文化中成长我感觉很幸运，虽然我不能说那个国家的语言这件事令人非常尴尬，因为我一直上的都是英语学校，不过困难的事情是，你去的每个地方都会交到朋友，你和人们变得亲近之后，突然你不得不搬走，不得不搬家，再继续去别的地方生活，我发现这是最难的事情，我8岁的时候回到英国上寄宿学校，因为我的父母认为，相比于在世界各地不同的学校上学，在英国读寄宿学校我会接受更好的教育，而这很有趣，不过有些事是我一直都很羡慕的，那就是，学校里其他孩子在学校里的朋友就是他们在上学期间的朋友，而他们真正的朋友是他们从小就认识的朋友，可能是他们出生以后、学龄前的朋友，他们一直保持联系，我18岁的时候，我学校里那些朋友，他们在家乡的真正朋友是那些他们出生后就认识的朋友，我一直都很羡慕这一点，因为我们总是在四处搬家，像我说过的我很幸运，我们去了荷兰、苏格兰和非洲，我很幸运能去这些地方，但是同样艰难的事情是，我没有定所，没有一个可以称为家的地方，那是在一天结束的时候可以回去的地方，可以和所有家人、朋友待在一起的地方。
