Tlotlo: Hi, my name is Tlotlo and I am from Botswana.

特羅特洛：嗨，我是特羅特洛，來自博茨瓦納。

Resse: And my name is Resse from Botswana as well.

里斯：我是里斯，同樣來自博茨瓦納。

Tlotlo: And our question is do people kiss in public in your country?

特羅特洛：我們要討論的問題是，你們國家有人在公共場合接吻嗎？

Resse: Definitely.

里斯：當然有。

Tlotlo: OK, elaborate.

特羅特洛：好，請詳細說一下。

Resse: Everywhere you go, there's couples kissing and doing All sorts of stuff in public.

里斯：基本上你去的每個地方都有情侶在公共場合接吻和做各種事情。

Tlotlo: Yeah, I can agree with him actually. I've seen a couple of times people kissing in public and it's become very common and people are adapting to seeing people kiss just in public.

特羅特洛：對，我同意他的說法。我看到過幾次情侶在公共場合接吻，這已經成爲越來越普遍的事情，人們已經習慣看到情侶在公共場合親吻了。

Resse: I thought though it should be something you do in private.

里斯：不過我認爲那應該是在私下做的事情。

Tlotlo: Well yeah, but I guess you know times are changing, people do different things these days so kissing in public is just one of those changes. Back then yes it used to be like when you see people kissing in public you go like whoah and you'd stare at them and just be amazed but these days you just look at them and just pass and move on with your life.

特羅特洛：對，不過時代在不斷變化，人們現在做的事情和以前不同，所以在公共場合親吻只是其中一個變化。以前看到有人在公共場合接吻時，你可能會發出“哇哦”的驚呼，還會盯着他們看，認爲那很不可思議，不過現在看到這種事情，你只會從他們身旁走過，繼續你的生活。

Resse: I think it's progress to me, I feel maybe the limit should be holding hands and hugging, that's the limit of public affection.

里斯：我還沒有接受這種事情，我認爲在公共場合頂多就拉個手或擁抱一下，這是我能接受的當衆親暱舉止的極限。

Tlotlo: In public, but kissing no?

特羅特洛：不接受在公共場合親吻？

Resse: No.

里斯：不接受。

Tlotlo: No?

特羅特洛：不行嗎？

Resse: No.

里斯：不行。
