长对话
Conversation one
M: When Isay I live in Sweden, people always want to know about the seasons。
W: Theseasons?
M: Yeah,you know, how cold it is in winter? What it’s like when the days are so short?
W: So what is it like?
M: Well, it is cold, very cold in winter.Sometimes, as cold as 26 degrees below centigrade. And of course, when you goout, you wrap up warm, but inside, in the houses, it’s always very warm, muchwarmer than at home. Swedish people always complain that when they visitEngland, the houses are cold even in a good winter。
W: And what about the darkness?
M: Well, yeah, around Christmas time, there isonly one hour of daylight, so you really look forward to the spring. It issometimes a bit depressing, but you see the summers are amazing. From May toJuly in the north of Sweden, the sun never sets. It’s still light at midnight. You can walk in the mountains andread a newspaper。
W: Oh, yeah, the land of the midnight sun。
M: That’s right, but it’s wonderful. You want tostay up all night. And the Swedes make the most of it. Often, they start workearlier in summer and then leave at about two or three in the afternoon so thatthey can really enjoy the long summer evenings. They like to work hard but playhard, too. I think Londoners work longer hours, but I’m not sure this is a goodthing。
