Todd: OK, so Shona, what did you do this Morning?

托德：夏娜，你今天上午做什么了？

Shona: This morning? So far today, I went to the supermarket and bought some muesli. Had my breakfast, which was the first muesli I've had in a few weeks, so I was quite enjoying that, and then I went to Ikea of all places and done a spot of shopping and bought like really cool cushion with embroidered birds on it, and then I went for a jog like just recently, and I've been cleaning my room also.

夏娜：今天上午吗？今天，我先去超市买了什锦麦片。然后回家吃早餐，这是我这几个星期以来第一次吃什锦麦片，所以我很享受，之后我去宜家购物了，我买了绣有小鸟图案的靠垫，靠垫非常舒服，然后我像往常一样去慢跑了，之后我还整理了房间。

Todd: OK, pretty busy day. So let's go back to the muesli. Now for people that don't know muesli, what is muesli?

托德：好，你这一天真忙。我们来说一下什锦麦片。可能有人不知道那是什么，什么是什锦麦片？

Shona: Muesli consists of pieces of oat and dried fruits and also like flakes of corn and it's just a bit of mixture of these things.

夏娜：什锦麦片里有燕麦片，水果干和玉米片，什锦麦片就是把这些食物混合在一起。

Todd: Now, you eat it with milk?

托德：是搭配牛奶一起吃吗？

Shona: Yeah, you have it with milk, or some people who are a bit crazy have it with orange juice.

夏娜：对，和牛奶一起吃，有些人会搭配橙汁一起吃，这有点疯狂。

Todd: Get out of here. Seriously?

托德：不可能吧。你说真的吗？

Shona: No, they do, yeah, orange juice. Orange juice in their muesli.

夏娜：对，的确有人配橙汁。用橙汁搭配什锦麦片。

Todd: Is that like for vegetarians and vegans?

托德：素食主义者会这么搭配吗？

Shona: No, I think it's just people enjoy the taste of orange juice and muesli. Or maybe they're allergic to milk.

夏娜：不是，我觉得有人喜欢橙汁和什锦麦片搭配在一起的味道。或者可能他们对牛奶过敏吧。

Todd: Oh, could be. Could be. Actually, you said you went to a furniture store.

托德：哦，对，可能是这样。你说你去家具店了。

Shona: Yeah, there is like a big one.

夏娜：对，一间很大的家具店。

Todd: Ah, so what did you buy?

托德：那你买什么了？

Shona: I bought a massive cushion, pillow thing, which is all embroidered. It's very cute and I also bought, like a bed cover for my bed. It's orange, and I was looking for some ferry lights actually, but they didn't seem to have any so I was a bit disappointed by that.

夏娜：我买了一个大靠垫，上面绣满了图案。看上去非常可爱，我还买了一个床单。我买的是桔色的床单，其实我本来想买彩灯，不过那里没有，我有点失望。

Todd: I'm sorry. What?

托德：抱歉，你刚说什么？

Shona: Ferry lights.

夏娜：彩灯。

Todd: I don't know what that is.

托德：我不知道那是什么。

Shona: It's like a really long strand of wire and it's just got lots of tiny lights of it, like randomly, so you've have saw them like Christmas tree lights.

夏娜：就是长长的线上有许多小灯，很随意的那种，就像圣诞树彩灯一样。

Todd: Ah, right.

托德：我，我知道了。

Shona: You have them on your Christmas tree. I kind of like them. I just like them in my room.

夏娜：可以把它们挂在圣诞树上。我喜欢这种灯，我想挂在我房间里。

Todd: Well, that's pretty cool.

托德：嗯，那很酷。

Shona: Yeah. And also some, cause they have like Swedish food there, so I bought some crisp bread as well.

夏娜：对。那里有瑞典食物，所以我还买了脆皮面包。
