House Party

Todd: Hello, Tini. Tini: Hello. Todd: Now, Tini, can you please mention all the countries you've been in in the world where you were a student? Tini: Well, until now I've studied in Hong Kong for around six years, and America for a year and in Japan for more than three years, actually. Todd: That's incredible. Did you also study in Vietnam, your country? Tini: Oh, of course. Yes, since I'm Vietnamese. Todd: OK, and you were in high school in America? Tini: Yes. My senior year in high school. Todd: Oh, great. And you're a university student now in Japan? Tini: Yes, sir. Todd: OK, and you also studied in high school in Vietnam? Tini: Yes, sir. Todd: OK. And what about in Hong Kong? What grades were you a student? Tini: I studied from grade two to grade six. Todd: OK. Now that makes you kind of an expert on young people around the world and what they like to do for fun. Tini: Well, to some extent . Todd: OK. So what do friends like to do for fun in high school in America? Tini: Well, of course, you know teenagers, we all like to have parties, and one very interesting thing about parties in America is like they like to do it at their own house, especially when their parents are out. Todd: Yes. Actually, I'm American. I remember well. Tini: Uh-huh. Well, like, like when your parents are out on a business trip or on a vacation to some other states or to some other countries and then, you know, you will be baby-sitting your house for a couple of days, and that is actually a really opportunity to have some parties. Todd: Right. Right.

Actually, I remember there's a lot of peer pressure actually, so if your parents are away you feel like you have to have a party. Tini: Exactly. Exactly.

Like, "Hey, I heard that your parents are away. Why not this, huh? Todd: Right. So does that happen in other countries, like in Vietnam or in Japan? Tini: Oh, absolutely no. Todd: No! Tini: I don't think so. Like to my own experience, I don't think so. Todd: Oh, why not? Tini: Well, first of all, parents are always home. That is the number one rule, and you actually, you can't, you know stay, we have like curfew times for... especially for students in Vietnam, for example you have to be back home at ten thirty. And period . Todd: That's pretty early. Tini: Well, yes, you know people are pretty conservative. Todd: But kids don't have curfews in America? Tini: I... Yes, I do think so, but you know, um.. they are pretty more flexible.

Todd: Hello, Tini. Tini: Hello. Todd: Now, Tini, can you please mention all the countries you’ve been in in the world where you were a student? تود: الآن ، تيني ، هل يمكنك من فضلك ذكر جميع البلدان التي كنت فيها في العالم حيث كنت طالبًا؟ Тодд: Итак, Тини, назовите, пожалуйста, все страны мира, в которых Вы были студентом. Tini: Well, until now I’ve studied in Hong Kong for around six years, and America for a year and in Japan for more than three years, actually. Todd: That’s incredible. Did you also study in Vietnam, your country? Tini: Oh, of course. Yes, since I’m Vietnamese. Todd: OK, and you were in high school in America? Tini: Yes. My senior year in high school. 高校3年生。 Todd: Oh, great. And you’re a university student now in Japan? Tini: Yes, sir. Todd: OK, and you also studied in high school in Vietnam? Tini: Yes, sir. Todd: OK. And what about in Hong Kong? What grades were you a student? In welcher Klasse waren Sie Schüler? Tini: I studied from grade two to grade six. Tini: Ich habe von der zweiten bis zur sechsten Klasse gelernt. Todd: OK. Now that makes you kind of an expert on young people around the world and what they like to do for fun. Tini: Well, to some extent . Todd: OK. So what do friends like to do for fun in high school in America? Was machen Freunde in der High School in Amerika gerne zum Spaß? Tini: Well, of course, you know teenagers, we all like to have parties, and one very interesting thing about parties in America is like they like to do it at their own house, especially when their parents are out. Tini: Nun, natürlich, du weißt ja, dass Teenager gerne Partys feiern, und eine sehr interessante Sache an Partys in Amerika ist, dass sie sie gerne bei sich zu Hause feiern, besonders wenn ihre Eltern nicht da sind. 蒂尼:嗯,当然,你知道,青少年都喜欢举办聚会,而美国聚会的一个非常有趣的事情是,他们喜欢在自己家里举办,尤其是当他们的父母不在家的时候。 Todd: Yes. Actually, I’m American. I remember well. 我记得很清楚。 Tini: Uh-huh. Well, like, like when your parents are out on a business trip or on a vacation to some other states or to some other countries and then, you know, you will be baby-sitting your house for a couple of days, and that is actually a really opportunity to have some parties. Zum Beispiel, wenn deine Eltern auf einer Geschäftsreise oder im Urlaub in einem anderen Staat oder in einem anderen Land sind und du dann ein paar Tage auf dein Haus aufpassen musst. Mesela, ebeveynleriniz iş gezisine ya da başka bir eyalete veya başka bir ülkeye tatile gittiğinde ve siz de birkaç günlüğüne evinize bakıcılık yapacaksanız, bu aslında parti vermek için gerçekten bir fırsattır. 嗯,比如,当你的父母出去出差或去其他州或国家度假时,你知道,你会在家里帮忙照看孩子几天,这实际上是一个举办聚会的机会。 Todd: Right. Right.

Actually, I remember there’s a lot of peer pressure actually, so if your parents are away you feel like you have to have a party. Ich erinnere mich, dass der Gruppenzwang sehr groß ist. Wenn die Eltern weg sind, hat man das Gefühl, dass man eine Party feiern muss. Ik herinner me dat er eigenlijk veel groepsdruk is, dus als je ouders weg zijn, heb je het gevoel dat je een feestje moet houden. 实际上,我记得实际上存在着很大的同侪压力,所以如果你的父母不在家,你就会觉得你必须要举办一个聚会。 Tini: Exactly. 蒂尼:确实如此。 Exactly. 确切地。

Like, "Hey, I heard that your parents are away. 比如,“嘿,我听说你父母不在家。 Why not this, huh? 为什么不这样呢?嗯? Todd: Right. So does that happen in other countries, like in Vietnam or in Japan? 那么在其他国家也发生这种情况吗,比如越南或日本? Tini: Oh, absolutely no. 蒂尼:噢,绝对不是。 Todd: No! 托德:不! Tini: I don’t think so. 蒂妮:我不这么认为。 Like to my own experience, I don’t think so. 根据我自己的经历,我不这么认为。 Todd: Oh, why not? Tini: Well, first of all, parents are always home. That is the number one rule, and you actually, you can’t, you know stay, we have like curfew times for... especially for students in Vietnam, for example you have to be back home at ten thirty. Dat is de eerste regel, en je kunt echt niet, je weet wel, blijf, we hebben graag een uitgaansgelegenheid voor ... vooral voor studenten in Vietnam, je moet bijvoorbeeld om half tien thuis zijn. Bu bir numaralı kuraldır ve aslında, bilirsiniz, kalamazsınız, sokağa çıkma yasağı gibi zamanlarımız vardır... özellikle Vietnam'daki öğrenciler için, örneğin on buçukta eve dönmeniz gerekir. 这是第一条规则,实际上你不能呆在那里,我们有宵禁时间......特别是对于越南的学生来说,例如你必须在十点半回家。 And period . 并且期限。 Todd: That’s pretty early. 托德:那还很早。 Tini: Well, yes, you know people are pretty conservative. Todd: But kids don’t have curfews in America? 托德:但是美国没有宵禁吗? Tini: I... Yes, I do think so, but you know, um.. they are pretty more flexible. 蒂尼:我……是的,我确实这么认为,但是你知道,嗯……他们相当灵活。
