Part A
Daphne and Homer are hanging out at a cafe in a bookstore.
戴芬妮和荷馬在一間書店的咖啡廳裡消磨時間。
(Daphne = D ; Homer = H)
D: Hey, that doesn’t look like a work of fiction. What are you reading?
H: It’s a biography of Grace Hopper. She helped invent one of the first computer languages.
D: I’ve never seen you read nonfiction before. When did you take it up?
H: You’re joking, right? I read nonfiction all the time.
D: Like what? I only own a cookbook and dictionary.
H: I really enjoy reading books about travel.
D: Do you mean travel guides?
H: No. I’m talking about travel journals. Besides useful information, they have interesting and humorous stories.
Part A
戴芬妮:嘿,那看起來不像小說,你在看什麼?
荷馬:是葛麗絲‧ 霍普的自傳,她是協助創造第一代電腦語言的一員。
戴芬妮:我之前從沒看過你閱讀非小說類的書籍,你什麼時候開始涉獵的?
荷馬:妳在開玩笑嗎?我一直以來都會讀非小說類的書。
戴芬妮:比方說?我只有一本食譜和字典而已。
荷馬:我非常喜歡看旅遊相關書籍。
戴芬妮:你是指旅遊指南嗎?
荷馬:不是,我說的是旅遊日誌。它們除了實用資訊之外,還有有趣又幽默的故事。還有有趣又幽默的故事。
Part B
Homer and Daphne have a deeper discussion about books.
荷馬和戴芬妮更深入聊關於書的話題。
(Homer = H ; Daphne = D)
H: Don’t get me wrong—I also love reading fiction. I especially enjoy poetry and mysteries.
D: I don’t get the former one, so I don’t read it. However, I love the latter to death.
H: I just finished one about a financial genius. He found a way to make a lot of money quickly.
D: Then, someone killed him because they were greedy and wanted his money and power.
H: I see you read it already.
D: Of course! That book was a real page-turner.
H: It’s one of my favorites.
D: Mine too.
Part B
荷馬:別誤會,我也喜歡看虛構文學,尤其是詩集和推理小說。
戴芬妮:我對詩一知半解,所以不讀。不過,我非常喜歡推理小說。
荷馬:我剛看完一本關於金融天才的推理小說,他找到一個快速致富的方法。
戴芬妮:然後,因為有人貪得無厭,想要得到那位天才的金錢與權力,所以就殺了他。
荷馬:想必妳已經讀過了。
戴芬妮:當然!那本書非常引人入勝。
荷馬:那是我最喜歡的推理小說之一。
戴芬妮:我也是。
Part C
Daphne and Homer learn more about each other’s taste in books.
戴芬妮和荷馬得知更多彼此對書籍的喜好。
(Daphne = D ; Homer = H)
D: As a kid, I couldn’t get enough of fairy tales and fantasies.
H: Was it the handsome prince rescuing the beautiful princess and saving the day?
D: No. I fell in love with the principle that anything is possible. Also, the universe didn’t just exist in one form.
H: No way! That’s how I felt about comic books.
D: I never got into those because I like to use my own imagination.
H: Now I do, but I didn’t as a kid.
D: So comics helped you?
H: Yes, they gave me a very precious gift.
Part C
戴芬妮:小時候,我非常喜歡童話和奇幻故事。
荷馬:是因為有帥氣的王子拯救美麗的公主,然後化險為夷的情節嗎?
戴芬妮:不,我喜歡的是凡事皆有可能的原則,還有這個宇宙不是只以單一樣貌存在。
荷馬:不會吧!那正是我對漫畫的想法。
戴芬妮:我對漫畫從不感興趣,因為我喜歡運用自己的想像力。
荷馬:我現在喜歡這麼做,但我小時候沒什麼想像力。
戴芬妮:所以漫畫有幫助到你?
荷馬:是的,它們給了我非常珍貴的禮物。
