HANS: What's the climate like in your country? 你们国家的气候怎么样?
JIM: It's mild, but it's not always pleasant. The weather's often cold in North and windy in the East. It's often wet in the West and sometimes warm in the south. 气候温和,但也不总是宜人的。北部的天气常常寒冷, 东部则常常利风。 西部常下雨,南部有时则很暖和。
HANS: Which seasons do you like best? 你最喜欢哪些季节?
JIM: I like spring and summer. The days are long and the night are short. The sun rises early and sets late. 我最喜欢春季和夏季。 因为此时白天长而夜晚短, 太阳升得早而落得迟。
JIM: I don't like autumn and winter. The days are short and the nights are long.The sun rises late and set early. Our climate is not very good, but it's certainly interesting. It's our favourite subject of conversation. 我不喜欢秋天和冬天。因为此时白天短而夜晚长, 太阳升得迟而落得早。 虽然我们国家的气候并不很好, 但又确实很有意思。 天气是我们最喜欢谈论的话题。
