Todd: Now Kate, you said that you actually had exchange students live with you…
托德：凯特，你说过你曾和交换学生一起住在……
Todd: Now Kate, you said that you actually had exchange students live with you…
托德：凯特，你说过你曾和交换学生一起住在……
Kate: I did.
凯特：是的。
Todd: …in New Zealand.
托德：……在新西兰。
Kate: I’ve had 3 exchange students.
凯特：我家里曾住过三个交换学生。
Todd: Ok, can you talk about each one?
托德：好，你能分别介绍一下他们吗？
Kate: Yep, the first one, she was very young, she was 14 I think at the time, so it was quite difficult for her to come to another country by herself, but by the end of 2 weeks she was in tears when she left our family. She was just so happy and overjoyed. And we still keep in contact.
凯特：好的，首先第一个，这个女孩年龄非常小，当时她只有14岁，所以对她来说独自来到一个陌生的国家非常难，两周后交换结束时她离开我家时哭了。那是因为她太开心了，可以说是欣喜若狂。现在我和她还有联系。
Todd: What was her name?
托德：她叫什么名字？
Kate: Ariko.
凯特：她叫Ariko。
Todd: Oh, ok.
托德：好。
Kate: Ariko.
凯特：名字是Ariko。
Todd: So were all the exchange students from Japan?
托德：那这些交换学生都来自日本吗？
Kate: They were. Three from Japan.
凯特：是的。都来自日本。
Todd: Who else did you have come to stay with you?
托德：还有哪个交换学生在你家住过？
Kate: The next one was interesting. She was from Kanto.. Kansai, near Osaka in Japan. And she actually…she was in a band, a brass band, an orchestra. She actually came to New Zealand to just play in this orchestra. She was a very lovely girl. She spoke fluent English so we had no problems in communicating.
凯特：第二个交换学生非常有意思。她来自关东……抱歉，是关西地区，在日本大阪附近。实际上她是乐队成员，是铜管乐队，管弦乐队的成员。她来新西兰就是为了参加这个管弦乐队。她是个非常可爱的女孩。她能说流利的英语，所以我们在交流上完全没有问题。
Todd: How long did she stay?
托德：她住了多长时间？
Kate: She stayed for 3 weeks actually. A bit longer.
凯特：她住了三周的时间。要稍微长一些。
Todd: You said there was one more…
托德：你说过还有一名交换学生……
Kate: One more was Ayako. She was older, she was actually more my brother’s age so she spent a lot of time with my brother rather than with me ‘cause I was going to school every day.
凯特：对，最后一个交换学生叫绫子。她的年龄要大一些，其实她和我哥哥的年龄差不多，所以相比我来说，她和我哥哥待在一起的时间更长，因为我每天都要去上学。
Todd: Oh, I see.
托德：哦，我知道了。
Kate: But we still got on very well. And my most memorable moment was going horse riding with her.
凯特：不过我们相处得很好。我印象最深的就是和她一起去骑马。
Todd: Oh, nice. Had she been on a horse before?
托德：真好。她以前骑过马吗？
Kate: No, first time.
凯特：没有，那是第一次。
Todd: She must have been pretty scared of the horses!
托德：她一定非常害怕马！
Kate: Yeah she was.
凯特：没错，她很害怕。
