Podcast Number 1
播客第一期
Hi, my name is Rob McCormack. I have just turned 60 years old and I have been retired for about 18 months. I live in Melbourne Australia with Silvia, my wife of 35 years, and our youngest son Andrew, who still lives at home. I'm very happy in my retirement, as I have many personal interests and I now have time to spend on them. But why am I making these podcasts? Let me explain that by telling you about my most important personal interest.
大家好,我是罗布·麦考马克。我刚满60岁,在18个月以前退休。我和结婚35年的妻子西尔维娅以及我们最小的儿子安德鲁一起住在澳大利亚墨尔本,我们的小儿子目前还和我们生活在一起。我很高兴我退休了,因为我有很多个人兴趣,现在我终于有时间专注这些兴趣了。我为什么要做这个播客呢?这和我最重要的个人爱好有关,下面我就来解释一下。
You see, I am learning to speak German. I started to learn German because my wife, Silvia, was born in Austria and came to Australia when she was 8 years old. She still speaks German fluently. She learned to speak English very well and throughout our 35 years of marriage, we have always spoken English together. But when we go back to Austria to visit her relatives, I find that I can't understand what is being said unless everybody speaks English.
现在我在学习德语。我学习德语是因为,我妻子西尔维娅出生在奥地利,8岁的时候来到澳大利亚。她现在依然可以说流利的德语。她的英语说得非常好,结婚35年来,我们在一起时一直说英语。可是我们回奥地利去看望她的亲戚时,我发现如果他们不说英语,我完全不明白他们在说什么。
