Michael: OK, so then. Hi! I"m Michael. I"m from Toronto.
迈克尔：好，现在。你好！我是迈克尔。我来自多伦多。
Simon: Yeah, Hi! I"m Simon from Vancouver.
西蒙：嗯，你好！我叫西蒙，来自温哥华。
Michael: Simon!
迈克尔：西蒙！
Simon: That"s right!
西蒙：没错。
Michael: So, are you francophone?
迈克尔：那你的母语是法语吗？
Simon: No, I"m not Francophone. That"s a common mistake that other Canadians make. My parents were German so they use the German pronunciation of Simon, which is Simon
西蒙：不，我并不说法语。这是其他加拿大人都会犯的错误。我父母来自德国，他们用德语的发音念西蒙，念作西蒙。
Michael: Oh, really
迈克尔：哦，真的吗？
Simon: Yeah!
西蒙：对！
Michael: OK, so the German and the French are.
迈克尔：好，那德语和法语。
Simon: Pretty similar. Ah, similar! Ah, yeah, Spanish, French, German. Pretty much only English has the Simon pronunciation of that, that name.
西蒙：很相似。对，很相似！对，西班牙语、法语、德语。这些语言对西蒙这个名字的发音都和英语很像。
Michael: OK, so you"re from Vancouver.

西蒙：我很了解DOA。实际上，我比我看上去的年纪要大，我今年33岁，正好经历了DOA的那个年代。
Michael: Excellent, so did you go to the Commodore Ballroom?
迈克尔：太棒了，那你去过海军准将舞厅吗？
Simon: That"s right, and I"ve actually seen DOA at the Commodore and almost got hit in the head by a beer can that they throw out during their concerts. They like to throw beer cans into the crowd.
西蒙：去过，实际上我在海军准将舞厅看过DOA的表演，而且头还被一个啤酒罐打中了，那是他们在演唱会进行中扔下来的。他们喜欢向观众扔啤酒罐。
