A: So Ana, you're from Portugal. Can you tell me a little bit about your country?
安娜,你来自葡萄牙。你能给我介绍一下你的祖国吗?
B: Yes, sure. Portugal is a really small country actually. It's right by Spain in Europe and we have really nice weather there. It's really sunny most of the year and really hot in summer. It can get really cold and really rainy in winter. But yeah, overall, it's a really nice country to live in.
A: And I've heard you have nice beaches in Portugal.
我听说葡萄牙有很漂亮的海滩。
B: Yes, we do. I used to go to the beach everyday with my family in summer. It was really great. But the beaches can get really crowded. Lots of people, so you might want to be a bit careful when you choose where to go.
A: All right, I see. And where do you live in Portugal?
好,我知道了。你住在葡萄牙哪里?
B: I live in a small village actually. You probably don't know it. It's called Palmela. But it's south of Lisbon and it's by the coast, so it's really nice. We get a nice view of the mountains and of the rivers. So I really enjoy living there. It's really quiet. Not a lot of people. A lot of wine farms actually and really nice food. You should come and visit sometime.
A: I like wine. And so you have good wine in Portugal. What sort of food do you eat in Portugal?
我喜欢葡萄酒。葡萄牙有上好的葡萄酒。那葡萄牙有什么食物?
B: Let's see. We get a lot of fish because we're by the sea. And so codfish is a traditional and sardines and mackerels.
我想想。我们有很多鱼类,因为我们国家临海。鳕鱼、沙丁鱼和鲭鱼是传统食物。
A: Oh, I like sardines.
哦,我喜欢沙丁鱼。
B: Yeah. It's really good. And we also have really good desserts. So for example, coffee cake, yogurt cake. We've got pastel de nata which is kind of an egg tart thing. So I really recommend you try that with our coffee when you go there.
A: All right. And you speak Portuguese as your first language.
好。葡萄牙语是你的母语。
B: Yes, I do. I speak Portuguese. It's not the same as Brazilian Portuguese but it's really close and we can understand each other. So that's really great.
对。我说葡萄牙语。我们说的葡萄牙语和巴西葡萄牙语不太一样,不过很接近,我们可以相互理解。这很棒。
A: All right. And can you understand Spanish as well?
好。你也能听懂西班牙语吗?
B: Yeah. I can understand a little bit of Spanish but there are some differences between Portuguese and Spanish.
能。我可以听懂一点儿西班牙语,不过葡萄牙语和西班牙语有些不一样。
A: How do you say hello in Portuguese?
你好用葡萄牙语怎么说?
B: Oh, you can say, "Ola."
你可以说Ola。
A: Ola.
Ola(你好)。
B: Yeah, it's fun. You should learn some Portuguese.
