（海伦和鲍勃在电话中交谈。）
Helen:You have been in New York for a long time. How do you like living there?
海伦：你已经在纽约待了很长时间了。你觉得住在这里怎么样？
Bob:It's great. I really love it.
鲍勃：很好。我真的非常喜欢这里。
Helen:But I heard that the local traffic was terrible and almost everyone drove too fast.
海伦：但是我听说那里的交通很差，每个人开车都很快。
Bob:Oh, you will get used to it very soon if you come.
鲍勃：哦，如果你来了很快就会适应的。
Helen:I also heard the streets were dirty.
海伦：我还听说街道很脏。
Bob:They used to be, but the city has improved a lot since I came here a few years ago.
鲍勃：以前是这样，不过几年前我来这里以后已经改善很多了。
Helen:Isn't it dangerous to live there?
海伦：住在那里不危险吗？
Bob:Well, it was in the past, but it's quite safe now. As a matter of fact, it's a wonderful place to live. Near our block, there are beautiful parks, good school, famous museums and excellent restaurants. And you can go to plays, concerts and operas every day if you like. You must come for a visit. Then you can see New York yourself.
鲍勃：嗯，以前比较危险，不过现在相当安全。其实，住在这里真的很好。我们街区附近有美丽的公园、很好的学校、著名的博物馆和很棒的餐厅。如果你愿意的话，每天都可以去参加戏剧、音乐会和歌剧。你一定要来玩。那样你就能亲眼看到纽约了。
