Hi, everyone.

嗨，大家好。

I'm Robyn.

我是羅賓

And in this video, I'm going to talk about my hometown now.

而在這個視頻中，我現在要講的是我的家鄉。

A lot of my students asked me where you from.

很多同學問我，你是哪裡人？

And of course I answer.

當然我也會回答。

I'm from Canada.

我是加拿大人

And then they usually ask me, Which city are you from?

然後他們通常會問我，你是哪個城市的？

In Canada, Vancouver or Toronto?

在加拿大，溫哥華還是多倫多？

Okay, so those air to cities most Koreans know.

好吧，所以那些航空到城市的班機大多數韓國人都知道。

And I explained, While I'm not from Vancouver or Toronto and I tell them I'm from a city called Edmonton, okay?

我解釋說，雖然我不是溫哥華或多倫多人，我告訴他們我來自一個叫埃德蒙頓的城市，好嗎？

And they're like, Where is Edmonton?

他們說，埃德蒙頓在哪裡？

And I explained, while Edmonton is closer to Vancouver, it's in Western Canada.

而且我解釋過，雖然埃德蒙頓離溫哥華比較近，但它在加拿大西部。

But actually, Edmonton is not really close to Vancouver.

但實際上，埃德蒙頓離溫哥華並不近。

If you were driving from Vancouver to Edmonton, it would take about 16 hours to drive through the mountains.

如果從溫哥華開車到埃德蒙頓，開車穿越山區大約需要16個小時。

Okay, so that's still pretty far.

好吧，那還是挺遠的。

All right.

好吧，我知道了

Now I tell them my hometown is Edmonton because, you know, I went to university in Edmonton and I spent about six or seven years in Edmonton.

現在我告訴他們我的家鄉是埃德蒙頓，因為，你知道，我在埃德蒙頓上的大學，我在埃德蒙頓呆了大約六七年。

But Edmonton is not my riel hometown.

但埃德蒙頓不是我的家鄉。

My real hometown is Fort McMurray.

我真正的家鄉是Fort McMurray。

Where is for McMurray?

麥克默裡在哪裡？

Well, for McMurray is north of Edmonton.

嗯，麥克默裡在埃德蒙頓以北。

So if you're going from Edmonton and you're driving north, you have to drive another five hours to get to Fort McMurray.

所以，如果你從埃德蒙頓出發，向北行駛，你必須再開5個小時才能到達麥克默裡堡。

Okay, for McMurray is a smaller city.

好吧，因為麥克默裡是個小城市。

There's only about 60,000 people living there.

那裡只住了6萬多人。

And even in Canada, a lot of Canadians never heard of for McMurray because it's so far north and isolated.

而即使在加拿大，很多加拿大人也從來沒有聽說過對於麥克默裡，因為它太北了，太偏僻了。

Okay, there's no other cities around it.

好吧，周圍沒有其他城市。

And, as I said, the closest main cities Edmonton.

而且，正如我所說，最近的主要城市埃德蒙頓。

But that's a five hour drive away now, for McMurray is in the bush.

但現在要開5個小時的車，因為麥克默裡在叢林裡。

Okay, there's lots of trees there, lots and lots of trees and in the wintertime, because it's so far north, its very dark.

好吧，那裡有很多樹，很多很多的樹，在冬天的時候，因為那裡很北，所以很黑。

In the winter time, when I went to school, it was dark, and when I came home, it was dark.

冬天的時候，我去學校的時候，天是黑的，回家的時候，天是黑的。

There's not much sunlight in the winter time, and also for McMurray is very, very cold.

冬天的時候陽光不多，而且對於麥克默裡來說也是非常非常的寒冷。

It is freezing, so I remember temperatures of minus 30 degrees Celsius minus 35 degrees Celsius and with the wind chill that could easily go to minus 40 degrees Celsius minus 45 degrees Celsius.

天寒地凍，所以我印象中的溫度是零下30攝氏度零下35攝氏度，加上風寒，很容易到零下40攝氏度零下45攝氏度。

Very, very cold.

非常，非常冷。

Alright, for McMurray is not a very good place to visit.

好吧，對於麥克默裡來說，這不是一個很好的地方。

Okay, there's no tourism there.

好吧，那裡沒有旅遊。

There's nothing to see and do their, as I say There's just trees.

沒有什麼可看的，也沒有什麼可做的，就像我說的，只有樹。

Uh, but there is one thing for McMurray is famous for on that is oil.

呃，但有一件事麥克默裡是著名的，那就是石油。

There's a lot of oil there, and that's the main industry there.

那裡有很多石油，那是那裡的主要產業。

That's why people live there.

這就是為什麼人們住在那裡。

They work for the oil industry and the oil there is different.

他們為石油行業工作，那裡的石油是不同的。

It's not the oil that you pump out of the ground.

這不是你從地裡抽出來的油。

Actually, the oil is in the sand and they call that tar sand.

其實，石油就在沙子裡，他們叫焦油沙。

Okay, so they have to suck the oil out of the sand so that Zao forming Murray makes its money on.

好吧，所以他們要把沙子裡的石油吸出來，這樣Zao形成Murray就能賺錢了。

That's why people live there.

這就是為什麼人們住在那裡。

Probably.

也許吧

I wouldn't want to go back there and live.

我可不想回到那裡去住。

I lived there during my childhood.

我童年的時候就住在那裡。

That's enough.

這就夠了。

It's too cold for me.

對我來說太冷了。

I enjoy living in Edmonton, which is five hours south and a little bit better weather anyway.

我喜歡住在埃德蒙頓，反正往南5個小時，天氣也更好一些。

That's my hometown.

那是我的家鄉。

I hope you enjoyed my story.

希望你喜歡我的故事。

See you next time.

下次見。
