0:51 – 0:57
Yes. So in the UK, we – our seasons are roughly like this.

0:57 – 1:02
So March, April, May – those are the spring seasons.
三月、四月和五月属于春季。
1:02 – 1:09
Then we move into summer, which is June, July and August. Autumn, that's September, October, November.

1:09 – 1:14
And then we're into winter for December, January, February.

1:14 – 1:16
Yeah. More or less. Approximately.

1:16 – 1:19
Yeah. So, Neil, what is your favourite season?
对。那么 Neil，你最喜欢哪个季节？
1:19 – 1:25
Well, you can probably guess because I'm so happy that it's spring and summer combined.
嗯，你大概能猜到，因为春天和夏天连在一起时我特别开心。
1:25 – 1:30
So anything with long late nights and evenings I love.

1:49 – 1:54
Well, I'm a big fan of the seasons, the transition seasons.
嗯，我很喜欢这些季节，尤其是春秋这样的过渡季节。
1:54 – 1:59
So I really like spring and autumn, especially spring.
所以我很喜欢春天和秋天，尤其是春天。
1:59 – 2:02
Right now we're in spring in the UK,
现在英国正值春季，
2:02 – 2:14
and you can see everyone looking happier because we've had a really long, hard, dark, cold winter and everyone is smiling now
你会发现大家看起来都更开心了，因为我们刚经历了一个漫长、难熬、阴暗又寒冷的冬天，现在每个人都在笑。
2:14 – 2:19
because they... there are blossoms on the trees which make me so happy.
因为他们……树上开出了花，这让我特别开心。
2:19 – 2:21
I love seeing pink blossoms on the trees.

2:21 – 2:28
The days are warmer and, yeah, there's this sense of a transition.
天气越来越暖，而且，嗯，会有一种季节正在转换的感觉。
2:28 – 2:33
Same with autumn. Although you're leaving the summer months,
秋天也是这样。虽然夏季正在过去，
2:33 – 2:37
I really love the colours on the trees as well.
但我也特别喜欢树木呈现出的那些颜色。
2:37 – 2:43
Especially those cooler, crisp days when the sky is blue
尤其是那些凉爽、清新的日子，天空一片湛蓝，
2:43 – 2:45
and the leaves are orange and brown.
树叶则变成橙色和棕色。
2:45 – 2:52
I love that. Wow. You're making me look forward to autumn, and it's not even summer yet.
我特别喜欢。哇。你都让我开始期待秋天了，可现在连夏天都还没到呢。
2:52 – 2:57
Is there a season that you don't like? I do like all the seasons.
有没有哪个季节是你不喜欢的？其实我每个季节都喜欢。
2:57 – 3:01
I like to have balance, so I wouldn't like to have summer all year round,
我喜欢有变化、有平衡，所以我不想一年到头都是夏天，
3:01 – 3:06
but I think winter is my least favourite
不过我觉得冬天是我最不喜欢的季节。
3:06 – 3:13
because of the dark days. In the UK I think it's particularly hard
因为白天很阴暗。在英国，我觉得这尤其难熬，
3:13 – 3:19
because, especially January and February, it's really cold and
因为特别是在一月和二月，天气真的很冷，而且
3:19 – 3:27
there's nothing really to get us through the... the sad times. I know exactly what you mean.
几乎没什么能帮我们熬过那些……那些低落的日子。我完全明白你的意思。
3:27 – 3:34
There are good things about winter, but mostly it's just difficult, isn't it? I agree. It's the dark.
冬天当然也有好的一面，但大多数时候就是挺难熬的，对吧？我同意。主要就是天太暗了。
3:34 – 3:42
I can't stand it. Yeah. So, as I said, I quite like having the balance of different seasons throughout the year.
我真的受不了。对。所以就像我刚才说的，我挺喜欢一年中有不同季节带来的平衡感。
3:42 – 3:46
I like to have transitions and changes. What about you, Neil?
我喜欢这种过渡和变化。你呢，Neil？
3:46 – 3:51
How do you feel about... about that? Yeah, I think I agree.
你对……对这件事是什么感觉？对，我觉得我也同意。
3:51 – 3:54
I mean, it would be nice to have a shorter winter,
我的意思是，如果冬天能短一点当然很好，
3:54 – 3:59
but I think I would still prefer to have different seasons

3:59 – 4:06
because, like I said, I really like the late light evenings in the summer.
因为就像我说的，我真的很喜欢夏天那些天黑得很晚、光线很亮的傍晚。
4:06 – 4:13
And I think, even though I hate the dark winters, I would really miss that, if the weather was nice all year
而且我觉得，虽然我讨厌冬天的阴暗，但如果全年天气都很好，我反而会很怀念那种感觉，
4:13 – 4:22
but got dark at the same time, like at six or seven o'clock.
可天却总在差不多同一时间变黑，比如六点或七点。
4:22 – 4:25
OK, let's recap the language we heard in the conversation.
好，我们来回顾一下刚才对话里听到的表达。
4:25 – 4:28
We learned different ways to talk about the seasons.
我们学到了几种谈论季节的不同说法。
4:28 – 4:34
For example, 'looking forward to' – that means you're excited for something to happen in the future.
比如“looking forward to”，意思是你很期待未来某件事情发生。
4:34 – 4:41
That's right. So I'm really looking forward to the warm, light, sunny evenings in the summer.
没错。所以我真的很期待夏天那些温暖、明亮又阳光充足的傍晚。
4:41 – 4:45
We heard 'to be a big fan of' – that means that you really like something.
我们还听到了“to be a big fan of”，意思是你非常喜欢某样东西。

Yes, Georgie is a big fan of the transition seasons.

I'm not such a big fan of winter, though.
