实战口语情景对话 第89期:东京夜生活 Tokyo Nights

 Todd: OK, Shane, why don't you talk a little about why you came to Japan? 谢恩，我们聊聊你问什么来日本吧。

Shane: Well, I suppose the reason I came to Japan is because, I suppose it's a personal thing. There's many different people in Dublin, different types of people. I do not think that Dublin has the mental stimuli¹, or does not have the hardcore atmosphere that somewhere like Tokyo could possibly have, so you have many types of people who are happy living in Dublin, going to the same places, the same bars, same restaurants, yet I feel that Tokyo has a lot more to offer because it's more hardcore. There's so much stuff² to do. Simple things like Karaoke, non-drink related³ activites that you can do over here which is great, so I wanted to get away from Ireland. See a differnt country, a different type of atmosphere, and have some fun as well at the same time and make some money. 我想我来日本是因为个人原因。都柏林有着不同民族不同类型的人。我不认为都柏林有东京的这种精气神。都柏林生活着许多不同的人，他们生活得都很幸福，他们总是去同样的地方，同一间酒吧，同一间餐厅。而在东京，我感觉有更多的选择，因为它更加的多元化。在这里你有许多事情可做。简单的事情，例如卡拉OK，不喝酒也能有那么多有趣的事情可做，因此我想离开爱尔兰。因此我喜欢来到一个陌生的国家，融入一种不同的城市气氛，一边赚钱一边快乐地过日子。
