A: Prom night, oh yes. It's always everybody's favorite. But I'd have to say my very best memory of high school was actually when I was crowned Miss Dumanian that is the high school that I went to.

A: Of course. I love that, I love that so that's actually the best memory that I have about my high school. Of course the best part of it was just being with your friends and making memories and stuff. I can still remember even today it was actually one of the best parts of my high school as well.当然了。我喜欢，我非常喜欢，所以那是我高中时代最美妙的记忆。当然，高中时代最棒的是和朋友们在一起，创造回忆。那些回忆我到今天还记得，那也是我高中时代其中一件最棒的事。B: I don't think anything beats making the friends that you make in high school.我认为没有什么比在高中时代结交朋友更美好的事情了。
A: Yeah, nothing beats that but the friends that you make in high school are the ones that you will have for life and I still have them. It was great the memories that we made were just fantastic. And prom night the glitz and the glamor of prom night, yes. Yeah, everybody looks forward to prom night actually because it's the night where you just wrap the memories all in one package and it will always be like the memorable things.对，没有比那更好的事情，而且在高中时代交的朋友是一生的朋友，那些朋友现在还是我的朋友。那太棒了，我们创造的回忆非常美好。还有舞会之夜，华丽又吸引人的舞会之夜。实际上所有人都非常期待，因为在那个晚上，你可以打包所有美好的记忆，那会一直是值得纪念的事情。B: I think that's the time you are closest to everyone that you know in high school.我认为，那是和高中认识的人最接近的时刻。

A: So our question is would you rather be a famous singer, actor, athlete or a politician?我们要讨论的问题是，你更想成为哪种名人，著名歌手、演员、运动员还是政治家？B: I think I'd rather be a famous actor because you get a lot of money.
我想成为著名演员，因为可以挣很多钱。
A: OK.好。B: You're famous but you don't do that much. If you're an athlete you have to work hard and you are always tired.
你很出名，而且不用做太多事。如果当运动员，那要努力运动，而且一直会很累。
A: What about learning scripts? That sounds like a really difficult job to me.那记台词呢？对我来说那听起来是很难的工作。B: But you learn bit by bit because shooting is over a long time so maybe it's not so hard.
A: I would really say I think being an actor is actually pretty hard. There's a lot that comes with it. It's a part that sometimes you are not very familiar with and that should take a lot out of you, you know, so it should be a hard job.我认为做演员非常难。有很多要承担。有时你可能会遇到不太熟悉的事情，那会让你消耗很多，所以那应该是很难的工作。B: You just need to be good at being fake.
你只要擅长伪装就行了。
A: You could put it that way. Well I think I'd rather be a famous singer. I wish I was good in singing though but that's what I'd be. I'm really all about spreading the love and sharing my thoughts with other people and just expressing my mind and I think singers have that opportunity to share what's in their mind, express themselves, share the love, you know, and I think that's what I'd much rather do just spread the word. I'm all about words. I think words have a very, very big effect on people. What you say really does matter. So being a singer could actually say a lot and touch so many people's hearts. That's my destiny of life, I want to touch many hearts, so a singer for me.
也可以这样说。我认为我更想当著名歌手。我希望我能擅长唱歌，我想当歌手。我想四处去传播爱，和其他人分享我的想法，表达我的看法，我认为歌手有机会分享他们的思想，表达自己，传播爱，我更愿意做的是传播这些信息。我相信言语的力量。我认为言语可以对他人产生非常大的影响。你所说的话很重要。当歌手可以表达很多，可以感动人心。那是我的人生目标，我希望能感动很多人，所以我要当歌手。

A: Oh yeah, I get lost so many times. Actually I think it's stressful for me because imagine getting from one terminal to the other and sometimes they are very, very far from each other and getting there is always a hassle for me and I almost missed my flight this one time. Actually I missed it and then I almost missed the second one. So they are very stressful for me. I cannot imagine having fun at an airport, never.哦，我在机场迷路过很多次。实际上，我认为机场令我感到有压力，想象一下从一个航站楼去往另一个航站楼，有时两个航站楼的距离非常远，对我来说这是件很麻烦的事儿，我有一次差点就错过航班了。准确的说，我错过了一个航班，然后差点错过第二个航班。所以机场让我感到很有压力。我无法想象在机场享受乐趣，永远无法想象。B: Wasn't that exciting, I mean that your whole week could just be put off by missing one flight?如果错过了航班，那你一整周的行程都要推迟，那不是令人很激动吗？
A: No, actually it was scary, it wasn't exciting, there's no thrill in that, it was just scary. And a very cold airport and you are just wondering oh gosh I just missed my flight, what next, that's very scary and it was very scary for me and it was not fun at all. I had no thrill whatsoever from that experience. No.
不，那很可怕，完全不是激动，完全没有兴奋感，那是可怕的事情。你会在一个非常冷的机场想，天哪，我错过了航班，接下来会怎么样，那太可怕了，对我来说那非常可怕，一点乐趣也没有。这种经历完全没有让我激动。完全没有。

But if it means the best place to go when the weather's good, I'd say the beaches because we're an island, we have a lot of beaches. How about in Jamaica?如果这是指拥有好天气的最佳地点，那我会说英国所有地方都一样，天气都很糟糕。如果那是指天气适宜时的最佳去处，那我会说海滩，因为英国是岛国，我们有很多海滩。牙买加呢？
A: In Jamaica I can't say there are good weather spots because the weather is basically the same. It's a small island so it's all the same everywhere on the island usually. It's always nice sunny weather.我选不出牙买加拥有好天气的地方，因为天气都差不多。牙买加是个小岛国，所以各个地方基本一样。一直是晴朗的好天气。B: Nice.不错。
