Todd: OK, Peter, can you talk about your country, Sweden, and what is life like in Sweden in winter?
托德:彼得,你能谈谈你的祖国瑞典吗?瑞典冬天的生活是怎样的?
Peter: Swedish life in winter is really harsh, especially, it tends to get pretty cold, especially around December, January, that's when it's really cold. The temperature can actually drop down to twenty minus and so it's something you have to do, is that you always have to go and buy new clothes, new thick clothes in order to survive the winter.
彼得:冬天在瑞典生活很艰难,因为瑞典的冬天特别冷,十二月和一月是最冷的时候。气温会下降至零下20度左右,所以必须要买新的厚衣服来度过冬天。
Todd: Wow, that sounds pretty crazy. So, in Sweden in winter, what kind of activities do you like to do? What do people do?
托德:哇,听起来太疯狂了。那瑞典的冬天有没有你喜欢的活动?人们在冬天都做什么?
Peter: Well, there are many things you can do, especially in wintertime in Sweden is either you go like sled. So in Sweden, in winter in Sweden, you can actually go sledding and also you can go ice-skating, and of course you can also go skiing up in the mountains, which is really popular among people right now, and also for the young people, you can actually go with a snowboard, but usually around Stockholm where I've been raised we tend to do very little things because the coldness actually, it's like an obstacle, because you can't do much really, mostly you sit home and study or you sit by your computer or you just hang around with friends celebrating Christmas.
彼得:嗯,有很多事可以做,冬天可以去瑞典玩雪橇。冬天在瑞典可以去滑雪橇,可以滑冰,当然你也可以去山上滑雪,现在滑雪是非常受欢迎的休闲活动,年轻人还可以玩滑雪板,不过对于在斯德哥尔摩长大的我们来说,冬天的时候很少外出,因为寒冷会造成阻碍,你不能做太多事,大部分时间都呆在家里学习或是玩电脑,或者和朋友们一起庆祝圣诞节。
Todd: OK, what about the food? Like what foods do people eat in Sweden in winter?
托德:好,那食物呢?冬天的时候瑞典人会吃什么食物?
Peter: In Sweden in wintertime, we usually eat a lot of meatballs, which is the typical Swedish cuisine. Meatballs, you got potatoes, and of course we got all kinds of variations of sausages. We got ham and it's a little but hard for me now because I can remember so much and it's been a long time since I was in Sweden.
彼得:冬天的时候瑞典人经常吃肉丸,这是瑞典的代表美食。肉丸,土豆,当然还有各种香肠。还有火腿,这只是其中的一些食物,我不太了解现在的情况,我只记得这么多,因为我有很长时间没有回瑞典了。
Todd: Sounds like a cool place to live. Anyway, thanks, Peter.
托德:听起来生活在瑞典会很酷。好,谢谢你,彼得。
