英文原版对话1000个:875 Wish List(在线收听) |
Todd: So, Rebecca, let's talk about things we wish could do that we can't do. What is something you wish you could do, that you can't do now? Rebecca: I think it would be definitely playing music, like playing a guitar. Some of my friends can just pull out a guitar and start singing and then you have everybody around and it's such a great night. I just wish I could join them and actually, yeah, have fun with that as well, but no, I can't play guitar. Todd: So, if you could play any instrument, it would be the guitar? Rebecca: Yeah. Yeah. I think so. I have played piano and saxophone before but not overly that well. Todd: Oh, really so you actually had musical training? Rebecca: Yeah, when I was in high school. Todd: In the piano and the saxophone? Rebecca: Yep. Yeah. The saxophone was maybe for one or two years and I would love to get back into playing that as well, but they're quite expensive little instruments actually. Todd: Yeah. Slightly. Rebecca: And then the piano is very large so, you can't really transport that around with you wherever you go. Todd: So do you think that if had learned music at a younger age, you would still be with it? Was the problem just that you waited to late in life to start? Rebecca: I don't think so. I think it's more the friends circle that I was with. We weren't really a musical group and the people that I've met now are really musical so you sort of wish maybe if I had kept going I could have joined them now, but I do enjoy listening to them. Todd: Well, what about singing? Are you a good singer? Rebecca: No. Not at all. I don't think I want to be a good singer either cause then everybody would expect you to sing all the time so I just do backup vocals, really badly. Todd: Well, I'm the same way. I can't sing at all. OK, so basically you wish you could play the guitar, but you have played the piano and the saxophone before. Rebecca: Yes. Todd: OK, is there anything else that you wish you could do? Rebecca: To be able to speak maybe a couple languages would be nice. Todd: Yeah, that's a good one. So if you could speak any two languages, what two would you want to speak? Rebecca: I think Japanese and Spanish. Todd: Japanese and Spanish? Rebecca: Yeah. Yeah. They both sound really interesting and they're both the countries that I would like to go and visit and maybe attempt to work there but you need to be able to speak the language before you can work. Todd: Right. That's true. I think if I could choose any two languages I would choose Chinese and Arabic just because both those languages when I hear them they sound so completely impossible to speak, so if you could speak those, that would be pretty amazing. Rebecca: Yeah, definitely. Yeah, Chinese sounds like a hard language. Todd: All those tones. |
