今天的这段对话，在讨论自动贩卖机，

 

你希望怎么处理日本的这些自动贩卖机

 

来听今天的讲解:

 

A: OK, hello, Hisa!

 

你好，希莎！

 

B: Hi, Todd.

 

你好，托德。

 

A: How are you doing?

 

你过得怎么样？

 

B: Fine thanks, and you?

 

很好，你呢？

 

A: I'm doing pretty good. Hisa, you were telling me that you have a concern about Japan.

 

我过得好极了。希莎，你跟我说你很关心日本一个社会问题。。

 

B: Yes.

 

是的。

 

A: And what is your concern?

 

你担心的是什么问题？

 

B: It's vending machines.

 

是自动贩卖机。

 

A: Vending machines.

 

自动贩卖机。

 

B: Yes.

 

是的。

 

A: OK. Can you talk a little about that?

 

好的。你能具体跟我说说吗？

 

B: Yes, as you already noticed, how many vending machines do you come across a day if you are on the street?

 

好的，以你的印象来判断一下，如果你走在大街上，一天内能遇到多少台自动贩卖机？

 

A: Many, many.

 

我的天啊。

 

B: I really do not think we need that many and then each one is really consuming energy, so that is my big concern.

 

我真的不认为我们需要这么多的自动贩卖机，而每台自动贩卖机要消耗掉很多的能源，这就是我最担心的问题。

 

A: OK, so what would you like to see happen in Japan with the vending machines?

 

那么，你希望怎么处理日本的这些自动贩卖机？

 

B: Sorry, what? where?

 

不好意思，什么？

 

A: Like, what would you like to happen with the vending machines?

 

比如，你认为应该对这些自动贩卖机做什么？

 

B: Yes.

 

我明白了。

 

A: Would you like more laws or..?

 

你希望通过立法还是……？

 

B: Number 1, it really aggravates the scenery. Yes, and then if each one of us take drink with us, we really don't need that many, each corner, or even one corner you really see so many kinds. And then that is, we can really evacuate so many and then we will have a safer, more space on the road, because even without vending machines, imagine how narrow our roads in Japan, even the walking path so narrow, it's dangerous.

 

第一，自动贩卖机影响了环境美观。是的，如果我们每个人出门都自己带喝的，我们就不会需要这么多的自动贩卖机了，现在只要是角落就有一台自动贩卖机，甚至是几台不同种类的自动贩卖机。如果我们把这些自动贩卖机都移走，就会拥有更加安全和宽阔的街道，如果没有自动贩卖机，日本的街道已经很狭窄了，人行道也很窄。

 

A: And you were saying that you can actually can see vending machines in very strange places in Japan, like very, very far places in the countryside?

 

你是说在日本很奇怪的地方也能看到自动贩卖机，比如乡下等边远地区？

 

B: Yes.

 

是的。

 

A: Wow.

 

哇。

 

B: So, just one example is on the summit of Mt. Fuji. Yes, it's a shame.

 

举个例子，比如富士山上就有。真是不雅。

 

A: All the way on the top of Mt. Fuji?

 

到山顶的路上都有吗？

 

B: Yes. So those mountain climbers are talking that don't make our mountains like Mt. Fuji. In other words, they are not to put another vending machine on the top of other mountains, because why we need it.

 

是的。一些登山爱好者们都会说：不要把山都搞成富士山一样。换句话说，他们不赞成将自动贩卖机放到其他山上，我们为什么需要这些贩卖机。

 

A: Yeah, that's crazy.

 

是的，很疯狂。

 

B: It's ridiculous.

 

很荒谬。

 

A: All right. Thank a lot Hisa.

 

好，谢谢你，希莎。

 

B: My pleasure.

 

很荣幸。
