Very average, mundane.

How has your daily routine changed since you were a child?

自孩提時代起，您的日常生活發生了哪些變化？

Not much, except I go to work now instead of school.

Um, but, uh, I get a lot of free time over the weekends.

Do you dream much at night?

你晚上經常做夢嗎？

I do dream sometimes, but not very often.

我有時會做夢，但並不經常。

And when I do dream, I don't tend to remember my dreams.

當我做夢時，我往往不記得我的夢。

Do you think we can learn anything from dreams?

你認為我們能從夢中學到什麼嗎？

I think so.

我想是的。

I think there's a lot of repressed emotions and stress that come out, um, during our dreams, uh, that perhaps we haven't addressed in real life.

我認為，在夢中，我們會產生很多壓抑的情緒和壓力，也許這些情緒和壓力在現實生活中並沒有得到解決。

So yes, I believe we can learn quite a lot and I suppose some people can even, you know, predict the future through dreams or images that they see.

所以是的，我相信我們可以學到很多東西，我想有些人甚至可以通過夢境或看到的影像預測未來。

I'm kind of on the fence about that.

我對此有點猶豫。

I don't know, but seems credible.

我不知道，但似乎可信。

Now let's talk about email.

I receive a lot of emails from my higher ups.

我收到了很多來自上級的郵件。

So my manager, people from other departments as well, usually following up for things, um, or scheduling meetings, um, just a lot of work that needs to be done and reminders to please do this work.

所以，我的經理和其他部門的人通常都會跟進一些事情，嗯，或者安排會議，嗯，就是有很多工作需要完成，提醒我去完成這些工作。

So.

那麼

Do you normally reply to emails as soon as you receive them?

您通常會在收到郵件後立即回覆嗎？

Oh, no.

哦，不

Um, I don't because I feel like there's no point in replying if the work hasn't been done.

嗯，我沒有，因為我覺得如果工作還沒做完，回覆就沒有意義了。

So let's say we're supposed to schedule a meeting and something needs to be done.

比方說，我們應該安排一次會議，而有些事情需要完成。

I'd much prefer to get that thing done and then respond by saying, okay, here it is.

我更願意先把事情做完，然後回覆說，好的，就這樣。

Here's the file that you, um, that you requested or that you asked for.

這是你，嗯，你要求的文件，或者說你要求的文件。

And, um, yeah, instead of, you know, a random sort of, hello, well received.

而且，嗯，是的，而不是，你知道的，隨機的那種，你好，收到。

Thank you.

謝謝。

Are you happy to receive emails that are advertising things?

您樂於接收廣告郵件嗎？

No, I don't think anyone would be, unless it's for a brand that I follow or that I like, unless they're having a sale.

不，我不認為任何人會這樣做，除非是我關注或喜歡的品牌，除非他們在打折。

Um, in that case, I'd be more than happy to receive their emails.

這樣的話，我很樂意接收他們的郵件。

Now let's talk about exercise.

現在我們來談談運動。

How often do you exercise?

I find the gym to be quite tedious and boring.

我覺得健身房相當乏味無聊。

I prefer doing classes, but then to get myself to the class and sit through traffic coming back.

我更喜歡上課，但去上課時又要坐車回來。

So I would love to work out a bit more frequently.

是以，我希望能更經常地鍛鍊身體。

And I, I tend to like slower exercises such as yoga or swimming, something where I don't really have to break a sweat, which is not very, um, realistic, but yeah.

而我，我傾向於喜歡慢一點的運動，比如瑜伽或游泳，一些我不需要真的出汗的運動，這不是很，嗯，現實，但是是的。

What do you think is the best exercise to keep fit?

您認為保持身材的最佳運動是什麼？

I've tried Pilates.

我試過普拉提。

I think it's really good for toning the body and the muscles.

我認為這對鍛鍊身體和肌肉很有好處。

你會看到很大的不同。

It might not burn as many calories, but you do see a huge difference in your silhouette.

它可能不會燃燒那麼多卡路里，但你會發現自己的輪廓有了巨大的改變。

So.

那麼

Have the types of exercise people like to do changed since you were a child?

與您小時候相比，人們喜歡的運動類型有變化嗎？

I would say not really the types of exercises that people do.

我想說的是，人們所做的運動種類其實並不多。

I would say they just don't exercise as much.

我想說的是，他們只是不常鍛鍊而已。

Perhaps it's gone from cycling and tennis to dancing on TikTok.

也許它已經從自行車和網球變成了在 TikTok 上跳舞。

I think that would be the main difference, if I'm really honest.

老實說，我覺得這就是主要區別。

Describe a time when you enjoyed visiting a family member or friends.

描述一次您喜歡拜訪家人或朋友的經歷。

I went back to Taiwan, uh, last month and I stayed for about three weeks.

我上個月回了趟臺灣，大概待了三個星期。

I was visiting friends and family.

我當時正在探親訪友。

Um, but, uh, I don't really have much family in Taiwan, just my mom.

我在臺灣沒什麼親人，只有我媽媽。

So I've noticed that, you know, in life, when you don't have a lot of family, the universe brings you friends and it might sound a bit cliche, but friends really are the family that, you know, you've chosen.

所以我注意到，你知道，在生活中，當你沒有很多家人時，宇宙會給你帶來朋友，這聽起來可能有點老套，但朋友真的是你選擇的家人。

And so I've now moved away from Taiwan, but when I was there, made a lot of very, very good, I think lifelong friends who I go back and visit periodically.

現在我已經搬離了臺灣，但我在那裡結交了很多非常非常好的朋友，我想他們是我一生的朋友，我會定期回去看望他們。

Who are you dating?

Um, it was fun in, in general.

Any celebration really is an excuse for the family to get together, which can be a bit stressful at times because we all know how we feel about our families.

任何慶祝活動實際上都是家人團聚的藉口，有時可能會有點壓力，因為我們都知道自己對家人的感情。

We love them, but it's sort of a love hate relationship because they can get on our nerves sometimes, but oh well.

我們愛它們，但這也是一種愛恨交織的關係，因為它們有時會讓我們心煩意亂，不過還好。

Why is it that some people might not enjoy attending family gatherings?

為什麼有些人可能不喜歡參加家庭聚會？

I think because, you know, relatives especially get it in their heads that they're family and so they think they can ask any questions, you know, when are you going to get married?

你什麼時候要孩子？

Why are you wasting your time?

So that, that can be a bit stressful because the whole point of, you know, being on vacation, cause now to see my family, I have to go on vacation and go back to my country to see them.

所以，這可能會有點壓力，因為你知道，度假的全部意義就在於，現在要見我的家人，我必須去度假，然後回到我的國家去見他們。

Is to relax, uh, not to get stressed out.

就是要放鬆，呃，不要有壓力。

So I think a lot of people have the same experience.

Now let's talk about everyday life in families.

感受這種聯繫很重要，因為你們可能是住在同一所房子裡的人。

If you don't communicate regularly, interact regularly, what's the point of having a family?

I think that's very important.

However, let's say if dad is out working most of the week, then maybe he doesn't need to do as many chores.

但是，如果爸爸一週大部分時間都在外面工作，也許他就不需要做那麼多家務了。

I know it might sound a bit sexist, but it's really about, um, um, what's the word?

我知道這聽起來有點性別歧視，但其實是關於，嗯，嗯，怎麼說來著？

Distributing work evenly.

平均分配工作。

I'm now going to give you some feedback on your performance.

Part one, you did a great job with part one.

第一部分，你做得很好。

It was like talking to a colleague, talking to a friend, um, you didn't really have to think much about the answers.

就像和同事哈拉、和朋友哈拉一樣，嗯，你不需要考慮太多答案。

You didn't really have to think about the language you were using.

你根本不需要考慮你使用的語言。

It was all very, very natural.

一切都非常非常自然。

One thing, I don't think this is going to be a huge issue for you.

有一點，我認為這對你來說不是什麼大問題。

Um, but sometimes under pressure on exam day, some students do this and you do it a little bit, which is you list lots of things.

嗯，但有時在考試當天的壓力下，有些學生會這樣做，你也會這樣做，就是列出很多東西。

If you did that with too many answers, you're indicating to the examiner, I don't really know how to.

如果你這樣做的答案太多，你就是在向考官表示，我真的不知道該怎麼做。

Construct a sentence.

造一個句子。

Exactly.

沒錯。

Right.

對

Exactly.

沒錯。

So it is much better to pick one or two things and go deep on those things rather than go wide.

是以，最好選擇一兩件事，在這些事情上做深做透，而不是做寬做廣。

So going wide is just, you know, what's your favorite food?

你最喜歡吃什麼？

I like pizza.

我喜歡披薩。

I like burgers.

我喜歡漢堡。

I like sushi.

我喜歡壽司。

I like Thai.

我喜歡泰國菜。

I like it.

我喜歡

It's better to pick one of those.

最好選擇其中之一。

I like Thai because, and explain why that is.

我喜歡泰國是因為，並解釋了原因。

So that allows you to really show off your grammar, show off your vocabulary because your grammar and vocabulary is amazing.

這樣，你就能真正展示你的文法和詞彙量，因為你的文法和詞彙量都很驚人。

We want to show that to the examiner.

我們希望向審查員展示這一點。

I don't think it's going to be an issue for you, but as I said, some people, when they're practicing, um, do amazingly well.

我不認為這對你來說是個問題，但正如我所說，有些人在練習時，嗯，做得非常好。

And then as soon as you, I call it test mode, as soon as they get going to the test, they start to do these little weird things that are kind of defensive.

然後，一旦你，我稱之為測試模式，一旦他們進入測試，他們就會開始做一些奇怪的事情，這些事情都是防禦性的。

Um, for someone like you, we don't want you to be defensive.

像你這樣的人，我們不希望你有防衛心理。

We want to show how good you are.

我們想展示你有多棒。

Part two, you had no problem talking about that.

第二部分，你在談論這個問題時沒有任何問題。

You could have talked about that for many more minutes than two minutes.

你本可以花更多的時間來討論這個問題，而不是兩分鐘。

Um, and I have no, no feedback on that.

我對此沒有任何反饋。

It's just, it was really, really good.

它真的非常非常棒。

Part three, you did develop your answers probably enough, but you could have developed them a little bit more.

第三部分，你對答案的闡釋可能已經足夠了，但還可以再深入一些。

Well, you could have possibly shown the other side of things.

好吧，你本可以展示事情的另一面。

You talked about everything kind of from a personal point of view, which is good because it's, you're very fluent when you do that.

你從個人角度談了所有的事情，這很好，因為你這樣做的時候非常流暢。

Just remember part three is a discussion of ideas.

請記住，第三部分是關於想法的討論。

So it's good to think, well, I really think this, but I can sort of see why other people would think this way.

所以說，我真的是這麼想的，但我也能理解為什麼其他人會這麼想。

Um, so for example, do you think it's a good idea for parents to help children with their schoolwork?

比如說，你認為父母幫助孩子完成學校作業是個好主意嗎？

Now that's pretty obvious that yes, that's a good thing.

現在很明顯，是的，這是一件好事。

But you could say something like, however, I understand that some moms and dads are really busy.

但你也可以這樣說，不過，我理解有些爸爸媽媽真的很忙。

Um, and they don't have time to do that.

嗯，他們沒時間這麼做。

I don't agree with that, but I can understand why.

我不同意這種說法，但我能理解為什麼。

Why is it that some people might not enjoy attending family occasions?

為什麼有些人可能不喜歡參加家庭聚會？

You gave a very straight answer, which was very, very good.

你的回答很直接，非常非常好。

Um, but you could have maybe, well, that's what I feel, but maybe there's this other reason why people, um, you don't need to list, you know, five different reasons, but maybe say, but some people might not have these issues.

嗯，但你可以說，嗯，這就是我的感受，但也許還有其他原因，嗯，你不需要列出，你知道，五個不同的原因，但也許說，但有些人可能沒有這些問題。

Yeah.

是啊
