本期对话：

DENNY: Where

were you staying in the U.S. when you first went there?

ERIK: I stayed

with the Dorian family and hoped to experience the local life.

DENNY: How was

it? Any inconvenience?

ERIK: It was

a bumpy start. But they were warm hearted and always willing to help me out.

DENNY: OK, was

that all-inclusive？

ERIK: No. It’s

just the lodging. I have to cook myself. I also participate

in family life

DENNY: Cool. It seems like the key to enjoying

a homestay is to not be a renter who lives in a

spare room but a part of the house hold.

 

中文翻译：

丹尼：你刚去美国的时候，住哪儿啊？

埃里克：我在多力安家里寄宿，也是希望可以感受当地人的生活。

丹尼：怎么样？有不方便吗？

埃里克：刚开始有点不顺，但他们一家都很热情，也很乐意帮助我。

丹尼：这样啊，那什么都包括吗？

埃里克：不是的，只是住宿的费用。我得自己做饭，我也会参与到他们的家庭生活中。

丹尼：不错啊，看来享受寄宿家庭的秘诀就是，不要把自己当成租客，而是家庭的一份子。
