1. Are there many people living near you?
If yes:
Yeah there are, because I live in quite a residential area, and so most of the buildings around my home are apartment blocks.
如果是：
是的，因为我住在一个相当大的住宅区，所以我家周围的大部分建筑都是公寓楼。
If no:
No, I wouldn’t say there are, because I mean, a lot of the flats where I live are empty, which is probably due to the fact that most of the people who bought them didn’t actually plan on moving in, but instead bought them simply as an investment. So yeah, it’s a pretty quiet neighbourhood.
如果没有：
不，我不会说有，因为我的意思是，我住的很多公寓都是空的，这可能是因为大多数买房子的人实际上并没有打算搬进去，而是简单地把它们当作投资买了。是的，这是一个相当安静的街区。
2. Do you know all your neighbours?
Answer A:
Well, I wouldn’t say I know all them, but I know a fair few, and that’s mainly because I spend quite a lot of time in gardens of my apartment complex, which is how I got to know them.
嗯，我不会说我全都知道，但我知道不少，这主要是因为我花了很多时间在我公寓的花园里，这就是我认识它们的方式。
Answer B:
No not really, because my neighbours tend to keep (pretty much) to themselves. You know, I mean, if I happen to see them, we might say hi to each other, but that’s about it, and then they’ll just continue with doing whatever it is they’re doing.
不是的，因为我的邻居们往往对自己保持着很高的感情。你知道，我的意思是，如果我碰巧看到他们，我们可以互相打招呼，但就是这样，然后他们就会继续做他们正在做的事情。
