原版英语对话1000个:415 Seasons

Todd: So, Marion, what you do you think of the winter we are having?

Marion: The winter at the moment, it's very cold, isn't it, but most of the time it's quite sunny as¹ well. It's dry at least², so I quite like winter days that are sunny like today. I was³ outside and even⁴ though⁵ at first it seems⁶ quite cold, afterwards⁷, with the sun we kind of warmed up very quickly.

Todd: Yeah, it was nice today, but winter is not my favorite⁹ season. No, I want winter to be over very quickly. But soon spring will be here and spring is good. I like spring, and then summer. I love summer. Summer is my favorite season.

Marion: Really? Even when it's really, really hot?

Todd: Oh, I love it! Last year, it was really, really hot and everybody¹⁰, every day would¹¹ complain¹², and say it was so hot, but I loved it. The hotter the better. I think it's very relaxing¹³ and it calms¹⁵ me down actually¹⁶. I feel calm¹⁴ and very relaxed¹⁷ in very hot weather.

Marion: I quite like hot weather as well, but last summer, the summer you are talking about, I had¹⁸ to go on a very crowded¹⁹ train every morning, so when you have a crowded train, and it's very, very hot, it ends up being²⁰ quite disgusting²¹, piled²² in against²³ all these sweaty people, so I didn't like last summer for that reason²⁴.

Todd: Well, what's your favorite season?

Marion: Ah⁸, autumn is my favorite season, cause²⁵ I think, because every autumn I start at school. It always feels like a new beginning²⁶, time of year, for me, more so than January. I feel like September is a good time to change things and a good time to start new things, and also the trees are beautiful and the weather is quite mild²⁷ and nice. How about you? What's your favorite season?

Todd: Well, it's probably²⁸ a tie between summer and fall, for what you just said²⁹, I agree³⁰. The fall has great weather, the trees are beautiful, it's a good time to be outside. It rarely³¹ rains, and I hate³² the rain and plus³³, my birthday is in October, and Halloween³⁴ which is a fun holiday.

Marion: Right, that's good.
