Hi, everybody, and Malcolm again. So I thought I would just tell you a little bit more about the city of Adelaide in the capital of South Australia. And as I mentioned, it's a small city, 1.25 million people, and much quieter of course than Sydney or Melbourne, but a very good lifestyle there and a nice place to live and work and particularly to bring up children. And it was Adelaide where I was born and grew up and spent all my teenage years and into my early adult life.

大家好，我是Malcolm,又见面了。我想我可以多告诉你们一些更多关于南澳大利亚首府阿德莱德市的事情。正如我提到的，这是一个小城市，那里有125万人，当然，阿德莱德市比悉尼或墨尔本安静得多，但那里的生活方式很好，是一个适合生活和工作的地方，尤其适合抚养孩子。我在阿德莱德出生、长大，我在那里度过了青少年期以及成年早期。

And the city itself, the CBD is actually contained within a square mile. What's interesting about it is that a square mile is bordered by East Terrace, North Terrace, West Terrace and South Terrace. And then outside theperimeter(外围) of those roads,which are a mile along each one, and you have a belt of what we call parklands. And this is just natural a grassy areas where people can relax, play sports and have a barbecue, but then the other side of the belt of parklands, which is probably in which only about a quarter of a mile but it's a square mile if you get what I mean around the city.

而城市本身，CBD（Central Business District中央商务区）实际上包含在一平方英里之内。有趣的是，有些，一平方英里的地方与东苑台，北苑台，西苑台和南苑台接壤。然后在这些道路的外围，每条路都有一英里，有一条我们称之为“公园地带”的路。这是一个天然的草地，人们可以在那里放松，做运动和烧烤，但在公园地带的另一边，大概只有四分之一英里在城市的周围，但如果你明白我的意思，那就等于一平方英里了。

And then outside of that you have a furthersuburbs(城郊) and of course they strench for miles and miles, and you know, down from south coast nearly forty. But what would it be 45 kilometers anyway, whatever that is in miles, and Adelaide is actually position, if you can imagine a salsa and Adelaide is on the center of the salsa. And then on one side, you have the coastline, beautiful beaches, lovely white sand. And there is in some of the beach, suburbs in beach towns, along the coast, quite good the surf, you know for those who are interested in surfing and on the other side of the city, so the beaches are on the western side of the city and then on the other side of the salsa, on the other side of the city is I call them small mountains, very small mountains. And we call South Australia just refer to them as the Adelaide hills, so they’re not that large.

除此之外，还有一个更远的郊区，当然你知道，从南海岸一直延伸到近40英里。但是不管怎么样45公里到底是多少呢？如果你能想象到萨尔萨和阿德莱德就在萨尔萨的中心。然后在一边，你有海岸线，美丽的海滩，可爱又洁白的沙子。而在一些海滩，郊区的海滩城镇，沿着海岸，你知道，对那些有兴趣冲浪的人，有着相当不错的冲浪项目，在城市的另一边，那儿的海滩在城市的西侧，然后在萨尔萨的另一边，在城市的另一边，我称它们为小山，非常小的山脉。我们称之为南澳大利亚，只要把这些山和阿德莱德山放在一起说，它们就没有那么大了。

But it is a very nice city, I was setting, I was going to say between the hills in the background on the eastern side of the city and then down to the coast, the drive by car from the centre of the city to the beaches is about twenty minutes in good traffic or in a half an hour, or slightly more in the heavy traffic.  

但是这是一座很好的城市，我深有同感，我想说的是，在城市东侧的背景山丘之间，然后沿着海岸，从西街的中心开车去，在交通好的情况下，大约20分钟能到达海滩，或者半个小时，有时在繁忙的交通中用的时间又稍多一点。

So Adelaide has a lot going for it as far as you know lifestyle goes and my home that I grew up in was halfway between the city and the beach, so it was only about ten minutes to the beach, so I often used to as a teenage boy, you know ride my bike to the beach. Adelaide has some really nice restaurants particularly some good seafood being on the coast like that. But the other things is from Adelaide, the Mclaren vale（迈拉仑维尔）wine area particularly famous for Shiraz（西拉是该地区的主要品种）, the Shiraz grape, Hongjiu, red wine and that’s only about 45 minutes from the city and then you can go further out to a very famous wine region called the Barossa Valley.

因此，就我的生活方式而言，在阿德莱德有很多可做的事情，而我在这里长大，我的家就在城市和海滩中间，所以离海滩只有十分钟的路程，所以我过去经常以一个十几岁男孩的身份，你知道，骑我的自行车去海滩。阿德莱德有一些非常好的餐馆，特别是一些不错的海鲜，就像这样在海岸上，但是其他的东西来自阿德莱德。迈拉仑维尔葡萄酒区特别有名的西拉(西拉是该地区的主要品种)，西拉葡萄，红酒，红葡萄酒，这是一个大约需要45分钟车程的城市，然后你可以走远一点，去到著名的葡萄酒产区，叫做巴罗萨谷。

And there’re literally probably a couple of hundredwineries(酿酒厂) in that area which is world-famous and a lot further out of course in this is getting towards Mount Gambier which is about four and a half hours by car from Adelaide is the Kernel Warrawong wine region as well. So a lot going for Adelaide as far as a good place to live comfortable, good lifestyle, good food restaurants, et cetera and the outdoor living. Okay, bye bye for now.

事实上，这个地区大概有几百家世界闻名的酿酒厂，要朝着甘比山方向走到更远的地方，距离阿德莱德大约四个半小时的车程，也是核心沃拉旺葡萄酒区产地。所以，阿德莱德有很多地方都适宜居住，那儿有好的生活方式，好的餐馆等等，以及好的户外生活。好吧，先说到这儿，拜拜。
