美語情景對話 第1197期:What is your favorite country beside
JM: My name is JM, I'm from the Philippines.
JM：我是JM，來自菲律賓。Phuong: My name is Phuong and I'm from Vietnam.
芳：我是芳，來自越南。JM: Today's question is what is your favorite country besides your own?
JM：今天我們要談的話題是，除了你的祖國以外，你最喜歡哪個國家？
Phuong: OK. I really love Holland beside my own country because I think Holland is very nice country with good weather and I love it too. In Holland it is very famous for tulips so I think it's the place for me to come and also I think people in Holland are very nice and they are kind and warm, so I think that it's my favorite country beside my own country. How about you?
芳：好。除了祖國之外，我最喜歡荷蘭，因爲我認爲荷蘭是個擁有好天氣的美麗國度，我也喜歡那裏的天氣。荷蘭的鬱金香聞名世界，所以我認爲那是適合我去的地方，而且我認爲荷蘭人非常友好，他們善良又溫暖，所以荷蘭是除了我的祖國以外我最喜歡的國家。你呢？JM: For me, I'd have to say it's Canada.
JM：我一定會說加拿大。Phuong: Ooo.
芳：哦。JM: Yeah. A few years ago I lived there for about four or five months with my sister who lives in Toronto and it's a really, really nice place. It's a great city, people there are really, really friendly, they are very nice so I like it there. Also the weather is very cold, because I live in the Philippines so it's always hot and warm so I kind of like the really, really cold weather.
JM：對。幾年以前，我在我姐姐家住了四五個月，我姐姐家在多倫多，那裏的確是個非常不錯的地方。多倫多是座很棒的城市，那裏的人們非常非常友好，他們人很好，所以我喜歡那裏。而且多倫多非常寒冷，而我生活的菲律賓一直很熱，溫度很高，我喜歡那種非常寒冷的天氣。Phuong: OK. Thank you.
芳：好。謝謝你。JM: Thank you.
JM：謝謝。
