Todd: Peter, your English is amazing. It's really good and people from Sweden, your country, also often speak really good English. Could you talk about your secret? Why is your English so good?
托德：彼得，你的英语说得非常棒。真的很好，你们瑞典人的英语都说得很好。你能谈谈你的秘诀吗？为什么你的英语能说得这么好？
Peter: First, I would like to thank you for your comment. That's really nice. It's a difficult question and it's a difficult answer but all I can say is that, especially in Sweden, I'm not sure about our neighbor countries, but especially in Sweden, when you're raised, you start to learn English from like when you are three, four years old by watching television because we have a lot of programs that are usually from England or from America and so we tend to watch a lot, those kinds of programs. The same with me. I remember when I was four years old I started to watch horror movies on American TV shows that was actually broadcast in Sweden and my mother, she always like, she actually cursed me not to watch those because it was so scary but I never thought is was scary, but more and more actually I learned English by using English words, and, but nothing happened until when you start to learn English in school, when you really go into grammar and that is when you start to learn 'Yes', 'No', 'Car', Apple', 'I have an apple', 'I have a car' and also back then I found it really interesting to learn something new, not only mathematics, and draw with a crayon on paper, but also to learn a new language that some other people in other countries also speak, that I someday would be able to speak with them as well, so I was really enthusiastic in school by learning English and during this time, cause in Sweden we study from second grade up to high school, and during all this years I've actually watched a lot of American movies, a lot of English movies, and also it doesn't always have to be from those countries, as long as the language that you is used within the movie, as long as it is English then it's perfectly fine and also we have a lot of people in Sweden that are from other countries, foreign countries, and so many times it actually happens that you have to ask them something or they come up to you and ask where they are supposed to go and where they can grab the bus they are trying to take and usually it's in English so it's really fascinating how you actually learn English in Sweden.
彼得：首先我要谢谢你的赞赏。谢谢你这么说。这是个很难的问题，同样也很难回答，我能说的是，我不太了解邻国的情况，不过在瑞典，我们通常会从三四岁左右开始看电视节目学习英语，因为我们有很多从英国和美国引进的节目，所以我们会看很多这种英语节目。我也是这样的。我记得我从四岁开始看在瑞典播出的美国电视节目和恐怖电影，我妈妈一直让我不要看这些节目，因为那太可怕了，不过我从来不觉得可怕，就这样我渐渐地学会了一些英语单词，不过我直到在学校上英语课时才开始学习英语语法，开始学习“是”“不是”“汽车”“苹果”，“我有一个苹果”，“我有一辆汽车”等等内容，当时我认为学习新的知识非常有意思，不仅仅是学习数学或是在纸上用蜡笔画画，而且也要学习一门新语言，其他国家的人使用的语言，可能有一天我也可以和其他国家的人对话，所以我很热衷于在学校学习英语，在瑞典是从二年级开始学英语，一直到高中，这段时间里我看了很多美国电影，很多英语电影，并不一定是这些国家的电影，只要电影里使用的语言是英语就可以，而且瑞典有很多来自其他国家的人，有很多外国人，你可能会问他们一些事情，或者这些外国人会问你路，询问他们要去的地方，或是询问去哪里坐公交车之类的问题，通常这些对话要用英语，所以在瑞典学习英语非常有趣。
