Ann: I really liked living in Australia. I was an international student and I studied education at the University of Sydney. And living in Sydney was fantastic, because I could go to the beach anytime I wanted and there was a great nightlife in Sydney. There are lots of great clubs. And people were very, very friendly and easy-going and I met a lot of international people in living Sydney. 我真的很喜欢住在悉尼。我是一名国际留学生，我在悉尼大学学习教育专业。住在悉尼真的是太棒了，因为只要我想，我能随时去海滩。悉尼的夜生活也是丰富多彩的。那里有许多很棒的酒吧。那里的人也非常友好，我在悉尼居住的时间里认识了许多国际留学生。

Todd: Mm-mm. How long were you there? 嗯，你在那里住了多久？

Ann: I was there for almost a year. 我在那里住了不到一年。

Todd: Oh, OK. 哦，好的。

Ann: And I travelled a little bit in Australia. I went up the east coast. Up to Frasier Island, which is a world heritage site. And I saw dingoes running along the beach and sharks in the water. We climbed cliffs and went through a rainforest and went camping and then we went up to the Whitsundays, which is a bit further north. And the further north you go in Australia, the hotter it gets. So we were able to go swimming in the ocean and I went diving for the first time but it was a little bit risky cause I didn't have a diving license, so I went on an introductory dive and I saw a giant clam that had a really purple spongy inside that I was able to touch and then the clam closed up really quickly. 我在澳大利亚旅游去了一些地方。我去了东海岸。登上了世界自然遗产弗雷泽岛。我在海滩上看到了澳洲野狗，我在海里看到了鲨鱼。我和朋友登上了悬崖，穿越了热带雨林，我们一起露营，还去了再往北一点的圣灵群岛。越往澳大利亚北部走就感觉越热。因此我们在海里游泳，我还在那里第一次潜水，但这有点儿冒险，我没有潜水执照，因此我只是做了入门级的潜水，潜水时我看到了一个巨型的蛤，它里面是紫色的海绵体，我用手触碰了一下，蛤迅速地就合上了。

Todd: So, did you, did you lose your finger? 你的手指夹到了吗？

Ann: Almost. 差点儿。

Todd: Almost. Ah, you're lucky. Um, it's funny, you go in the water and you worry about sharks, but not clams. 差点儿。哦，你真幸运。真有趣，你下水会害怕鲨鱼，但是没有担心过蛤。

Ann: Exactly. 是的。

Todd: Will you be going back to Australia soon? 我会马上回澳大利亚去吗？

Ann: I'd like to go and live there for at least another year. Probably I'll go back to Sydney or maybe I'll go down to Melbourne because it's a really interesting cultural city. They have lot of museums and parks. 我想去澳大利亚住至少一年的时间。也许我会回悉尼，也许我会去墨尔本，因为那里的文化很有趣。那里有许多博物馆和公园。

Todd: OK. You gotta choose real quick, only one city, Montreal or Sydney, which do you choose? 好的，那你得快点儿选择了，你只能去一座城市，蒙特利尔或是悉尼，你选择那座城市？

Ann: Sydney, without a doubt. 悉尼，毫无疑问。

Todd: OK. All right. Thanks a lot. 好的，十分感谢。

Ann: You're welcome. 不客气。
