英文原版对话1000个:1121 Teen Host

　　Shifani: Yes, exactly or anything that people called up and talked about. It was very childish¹ stuff² but mainly geared³ at teenagers.

 

　　Todd: How did your parents feel about it?

 

　　Shifani: Very proud of me obviously⁴. At the age of twelve, their daughter was a DJ, what could be better than that? So they really enjoyed it. I remember they would listen to it every single time, record it and then listen to it over and over again when they could.

 

　　Todd: That's fantastic. So were you like a little celebrity⁵ at your school?

 

　　Shifani: I ended up becoming one. A lot of my friends also did the same recording⁶ of my voice on the radio, it was a big thing to be a radio person then being only twelve. So my friends thought it was absolutely fantastic and they would take it to school and quite often play it around. So yeah I ended up getting a celebrity status.

 

　　Todd: So when you were young and you were this DJ, did you envision yourself being a DJ for a long time?

 

　　Shifani: Actually, no I hadn't. I really enjoyed it, had a lot of fun but it was a hobby. It was never something I wanted to do as a profession.

 

　　Todd: So in the future you had a child and they wanted to do this, would you encourage them to do it?

 

　　Shifani: I absolutely would because if they enjoy it and they enjoy it so much that they want to take it up as a career why not? With me it was a hobby.

 

　　Todd: Now what about podcasts? Would you encourage young people to maybe have their own podcast?

 

　　Shifani: I think that's a fantastic idea. I think it's really good to be able to express yourself and through podcasts they can do exactly that.
