Asking about an accent
A: You have an unusual accent, Mr. Robbins. Where are you from originally? If you don’t mind me asking.
B: Not at all. I was born in Madrid, but I came to the States when I was a teenager.
A; I guess that must be what I’m hearing, I really couldn’t place it. Do go back to Madrid often?
B: No, I haven’t been back for more than ten years.
哪的口音
A：你的口音很特别，罗宾斯女士。是哪里人? 不介意我问吧？
B：没关系. 我在马德里出生，但十几岁时就到了美国。
A：我听着也差不多，只是搞不准是哪里的口音。你常回马德里吗?
B：不是，我有十多年没回去了。
