安德鲁今天进行的是一次远距离采访....
 
Andrew: No problem. And I was telling you earlier, but I’m very excited because this is the first interview that I’ve done remotely. So I’m here in Montreal, and where are you?
 
Jessica: I’m in Portland, Oregon.
 
Andrew: Portland, Oregon. Wow, Portland’s a really cool place, I’ve been there before.
 
Jessica: Oh, have you? When did you come here?
 
Andrew: Oh, it must’ve been about 5 years ago now. I was living in British Columbia and I actually took the train from Vancouver to Portland.
 
Jessica: I love that train ride, the… What is it? Amtrak Cascades 2, right?
 
Andrew: Yeah, the Cascade 1 Line. Yeah, that’s right.
 
Jessica: We’ve taken the train up to Vancouver from here also, and it was probably, like, 3 years ago. And that was one of the first places my son learned to crawl.
 
Andrew: Oh, no way.
 
Jessica: It was, like, on the train, yeah. Like, under all the tables and stuff.
 
Andrew: It’s a good place to practise. Jessica: Yeah .It really works on your balance.
 
Andrew: Oh yeah, I bet. Jessica: It set him ahead, I think, crawling-wise.
 
Andrew: Yeah, for sure.
