INSIDE VIEW Conversaion1

A:I love Chinese,but is the food around here typical?

J:Well,it depends what you mean by typical.This is mostly Cantonese food from the south,excepet for the roast duck,which is from Beijing.But it is different from the food where I come from in the northeast.

A:And which is better?

J:Er,well,in my opinion,I think~

Oh,look,here he comes.Hi,Tony. T:Hi,Li Hui,ni hao.

J:Ni hao.Tony,this is Andy,my colleage. A/T:Hi.

J:We were wondering if we could ask you some questions about life in Chinatown.

A:I don‘t know if Janet‘s told you,but we are doing a series of reviews on ethnic restaurants here in London for London Time Off. T:Ok,I see.

A:And the thing is,everyone eats Chinese and Indian food,but we want to put a bit of background and history on the website.Are you up for this? T:Ok,fire away.

A:What I suggest is,if you‘ve got time,we will do some filming around here,and then we will put the research together back at thestudio.

A:Janet,are you ready with the sound this time? J:Ok.

A:Just remember to keep the needle out of the red zone.And don‘t forget to stop us if there‘s too much background noise. J:Ok,thanks.

A:Tony,you work here in Chinatown.Do you live here as well? T:No,in fact,very few Chinese actually live in Chinatown.

A:And in comparison with Chinatown in say,San Francisco or Sydney,is it larger or smaller? T:I would say it‘s much smaller.Really.It‘s only three or four streets. A:And the business here,is it mostly restaurant trade?

T:Yes,as well as the supermarkets,which stock produce from China.

A:我喜欢中国菜，但这附近有代表性的食物吗？

J:嗯，这取决于你说的典型是什么意思。除了北京烤鸭，这里大多是中国南方的广东菜。但这里的广东菜和我家乡的东北菜不同。 A:你认为哪里的更好吃呢？ J:嗯，我认为~

喔，你看，他来了。嗨，Tony! T:嗨！李慧，你好！

J:你好，Tony！他是我的同事Andy. A/T:嗨。

J:我们在想你是否可以回答我们一些关于唐人街生活的问题。

A:我不知道Janet是否告诉你了，但我们是在为London Time Off做一系列的有关伦敦异国风味餐厅的评论文章。 T：好的，我明白了。

A:话说，每个人都吃中国菜和印度菜，但我们想在网上放一些有关的文化背景和历史知识。你能帮助我们吗？ T:没问题，你问吧。

A：如果你有时间的话，我建议我们在这附近来录一段短片，等回工作室后将调查材料整合在一起。

A:Janet,这一次调好声音了吗？

J:好了。

A:记得把图标移开红色区域。如果背景噪音太大，记得叫停。 J:好的，谢谢你的提醒。

A:Tony,你在唐人街工作，那你也在这住吗？ T：不住这，事实上，很少中国人真正住在这。

A:和旧金山或悉尼的唐人街相比，伦敦的唐人街更大还是更小呢？ T:更小，真的，这里只有三四条街。 A:这里的商业活动大多是餐厅生意吗？ T:是的，还有卖中国货的超市。

Conversation2

A:So where do you call home?

T:Like lots of people,my grandparents came from Hong Kong in the 1950‘s.But I‘m a British-born Chinese.So I guess this is home now.

A:So how long has here been a Chinese community in London?

T:For 200 years.When the Chinese first came to London,they arrived as sailors,so they lived in the East End by the Docks.

A:And how did they make their living?

T:restaurants mostly,but they were also famous for running laundries. A:And why did Chinesetown move over here?

T:At the start of the 20th century,some of them move to the West End,which is the entertainment district to open Chinese restaurants.And gradually,the Chinese from all over the London met friends and did business here.

A:And does it still feel like a traditional Chinese community?

T:Oh,sure.You saw the Chinese gateway and we celebrate Chinese New Year along with the Chinese all over the world. A:Thanks.

T:You are welcome. A:How is it going,Janet?

J:It‘s fine,that‘s about three minutes of material.

A:Ok.Let‘s wind it up.Tony,thank you very much,that was really interesting.Very grateful. T:No problem.Now,are you hungry?How about some dimsum and crispy roast duck? J:Sounds great.I‘m starving,thanks.

T:Don‘t mention it.Let‘s go back to my restaurant.

A:Sure,I‘m starving too.All this talk about food,thanks,Tony! T:You‘re welcome!

A:那你认为哪里才是你真正的家？

T:嗯，像很多人一样，我的祖父母在二十世纪五十年代从香港来到这里。但我是一个在英国出生的中国人，所以我现在把这里看成是我的家。 A:华人聚集在伦敦有多久了呀？

T:两百年了。中国人第一次来到这里是以海员的身份来的，所以他们住在东区码头。 A:那他们是如何谋生的？

T:大多是靠开饭店，但他们也以经营干洗店出名。 A:那为什么唐人街搬到这里？

T:二十世纪初，他们中的一些人搬到了西区，到那片娱乐区开中餐馆。渐渐地，来自伦敦各地的中国人在这里约朋友，做生意。

A:现在的唐人街感觉还是个传统的中国社区吗？ T:当然是，你可以看到中国式大门，我们也会和来之世界各地的中国人一起来庆祝中国新年。 A：谢谢你的回答。 T:不客气。

A:怎么样呀,Janet?

J:很好，录了大约三分钟。

A:好，可以结束了。Tony,太感谢你了，你讲得非常有趣，非常感谢！ T:这没什么。你们现在饿了吗？吃些中式点心和香脆烤鸭怎么样？ J:听上去不错，我现在饿坏了，谢谢你。 T：别客气，走吧，到我的餐厅去！

A:好的，我也好饿啊。关于所有的有关食物的谈话，真的很感谢你，Tony！ T:不用谢啦。
