Todd: OK. Talk to us about computers.

托德：好的。跟我们谈论一下电脑吧。

Jeanna: Well, I go on the computer a lot and I talk with friends through AOL instant messenger. And I just moved from my hometown to Sacremento so it's a good way to keep in touch with old friends.

吉安娜：好的，我用电脑比较多，和我的朋友们通过美国在线即时信使聊天。我刚从家乡搬到门托，所以，那是一个和老朋友保持联系的很不错的方法。

Todd: Yeah. Do you learn about computers at school or on your own?

托德：是啊。你是在学校学习电脑知识还是自学？

Jeanna: I picked most of what I know, I've picked it up, through, ya know, the years, and some at school, like keyboarding and such.

吉安娜：我学的大部分都是我会的，我之前学过，你知道的，很多年了，有一些是在学校里学的，就像打字什么的。

Todd: OK. Do you have a laptop or a PC?

托德：好的。你有笔记本电脑吗还是个人电脑？

Jeanna: I have a PC. A Compac.

吉安娜：我有一台个人电脑。

Todd: Do you like your computer or do you want a new one?

托德：你喜欢你的电脑吗还是你想要一台新的？

Jeanna: I want a new one cause I think I screwed mine up and it's a little bit slow now.

吉安娜：我想要一台新的，因为我觉得我把我的电脑弄坏了，现在运行有点慢。

Todd: OK. How long have you had your computer?

托德：好的。你现在的电脑用了多久了？

Jeanna: I've had it for about 3 or 4 years.

吉安娜：大概3、4年了。

Todd: Oh, yeah, that's pretty old for a computer. Yeah, so do you talk to your friends every night by e-mail?

托德：哦，嗯，确实有点久了。嗯，你每天晚上会通过邮件和你的朋友们聊天吗？

Jeanna: Yeah, yes I do.

吉安娜：是啊，我会。

Todd: OK.

托德：好的。

Jeanna: See going on and you know the gossip.

吉安娜：聊一下最近过得怎么样还有谈谈八卦。

Todd: So nowadays, do high school kids talk by e-mail more than phone?

托德：嗯，现如今，是不是高中生用邮件聊天要多于用电话？

Jeanna: Most people talk by either e-mail or cellular phone. You know a lot of people don't use their house phones as much, and a lot of people have cellular phones.

吉安娜：大多数人聊天要么用邮件要么用移动电话。你知道的，现在很多人都不怎么用家里的电话，很多人都有移动电话。

Todd: OK. Thanks a lot Jeanna.

托德：好的，非常感谢，吉安娜。
