My parents live in San Francisco. 我的父母住在旧金山。 A So, you are from Los Angeles? A 那么,你是洛杉矶人了? B No, that’s where my older brother lives now. He’s in Los Angeles. But I’m from San Francisco. B 不,那是我的哥哥住的地方。他在洛杉矶。但是我是旧金山人。 A And that’s where your parents and younger brother live? A 你的父母和弟弟住在旧金山? B Yes, my parents live in San Francisco. It’s our hometown. B 是的, 我的父母住在旧金山。那里是我们的家乡。 A Los Angeles isn’t too far from there. Your older brother is quite near. A 洛杉矶离旧金山不远。你的哥哥离那里很近。 B Yes, LA and San Francisco are pretty close. It’s not a big trip. B 是的, 洛杉矶和旧金山相当近。一小段路程而已。 Notes 注释 1 You can often use the word pretty / pretty with another adjective to mean quite / quite, e.g. They are pretty close / They are pretty close; It’s pretty hot today / It’s pretty hot today. If you use it by itself, the meaning is different, e.g. beautiful or good to look at: Behai Park is very pretty / Behai Park is very pretty; She is really pretty / She is really pretty. pretty /相当地和其他的形容词连用可以表示quite / 非常,例如They are pretty close /它们离得相当近; It’s pretty hot today / 今天天气相当热。如果你单独使用这个词的话,它的意义就不同了。例如表示漂亮或者好看: Behai Park is very pretty /北海公园非常漂亮; She is really pretty /她长得非常好看。 2 You can describe the place you were born, even if it is a big city, as your hometown / hometown. 你可以把你出生地称为你的hometown /家乡,即使它是一个很大的城市。
