Todd: Monica, you mentioned a farm home stay in New Zealand. Have you ever actually ever lived on a farm?
托德：莫妮卡，你提到过新西兰的寄宿农场。你有在农场生活过吗？
Monica: I haven’t lived on a farm as such, but I’ve visited family friends who have lived on farms.
莫妮卡：我没有在农场生活过，不过我去拜访过住在农场的家族朋友。
Todd: Did you like it?
托德：你喜欢农场吗？
Monica: Yeah, I remember loving visiting my family friends on farms. Yeah, especially riding horses. I loved riding horses when I was young.
莫妮卡：喜欢，我喜欢去拜访住在农场的家族朋友。我非常喜欢骑马。我小时候很喜欢骑马。
Todd: So are you good? Are you an equestrian professional?
托德：你骑马骑的好吗？你是专业骑手吗？
Monica: I wouldn’t say that. I do remember one time. My mother always seems to tell people this story about when I was young, and we were at her friend’s farm. I was on a horse, and the horse took off, and I was only about, I think ten at the time and I was hanging off the side of this horse and my mother was really worried for me, and then when the horse finally stopped she … you know … she came running up and asked me if I was OK and things, and apparently I said to her, "Oh, it’s OK. I wanted it to go fast."
莫妮卡：我不能这么说。我记得一件事。我妈妈经常和别人讲我小时候住在她朋友农场时发生的事。当时我只有10岁，我骑在马上，马开始动了以后，我悬在了马鞍的一侧，我妈妈非常担心我，马停下来以后，她马上跑过来问我有没有事，我的回答当然是：“哦，没事，我想让马跑快点儿。”
Todd: That’s cute. You’re lucky you didn’t get hurt though.
托德：太可爱了。你没受伤真走运。
Monica: Yeah, well, I guess I just didn’t sense the danger.
莫妮卡：对，我想我当时没有危险的感觉。
Todd: Actually, I kind of grew up on a farm. My grandfather had a ranch growing up so I spend every summer on his ranch, so I have quite the … I don’t know … I guess I have a lot of experience on a farm. Yeah, it’s good. I remember when I was young I thought the life on a farm was just the best. I mean I had it so good, and I loved everything about living on a farm and I thought when I was gonna get older, I would want to be on a farm, but now that I’m older, I couldn’t image doing it every again.
托德：其实我是在农场长大的。我祖父有个牧场，我小时候每年夏天都会去他的牧场住，要怎么说，我想我有很多农场生活的经验。这种生活很好。我记得我小时候认为农场生活是最棒的。在农场生活感觉很好，我喜欢农场生活的一切，当时我想长大以后去农场生活，不过现在我已经长大了，可是我无法想象再去农场生活。
Monica: What can’t you imagine doing?
莫妮卡：为什么无法想象？
Todd: I don’t know, I guess, I just couldn’t imagine all that work, and I think I’m just so addicted to city life or suburban life and living in a house and just doing work on computers and things like that. I couldn’t go back to that lifestyle, but when I was young, I have to admit, I enjoyed it a lot. So how about you? Could you see yourself moving and living on a farm?
托德：我也不知道，我想我只是无法想象农场的工作，我现在非常喜欢城市生活，我喜欢住在房子里，用电脑工作等等。我不能回到农场的生活方式，不过我得承认，我小时候非常喜欢农场的生活方式。你呢？你能搬去农场生活吗？
Monica: Well, yeah, I think my thoughts are similar to yours in that I’m very used to being inside using a computer, and I’m used to a very different lifestyle to one that involves being on a farm, but yeah, I’ve never had a long period of time where I’ve stayed on a farm like you so yeah maybe it’s a bit different for me.
莫妮卡：嗯，我想我和你的想法相似，我也非常习惯在室内用电脑工作，我已经习惯了与农场生活完全不同的生活方式，不过对我来说有些不同，因为我与你不一样，我没有在农场生活过很长时间。
