(单词翻译)

I dare you to raise your voice and gather a crowd.(Instead your'll pay...)It's very easy to do. I wanna talk about something that may seem trivial but it's actually very important. We're gonna talk about tourism and why you should all be travelling, ok? Now a lot of people think that tourism start with a crowd and I’d rather show you around…with a credit card the practical travel...

Anyone with a gripe can air it here, it's a free-willing give-and-take, a great place to test your logic1 as well as your gift for oratory2. Some of us have it and some don't.

(with some information...)

But with a more palatable3, wonderful pan of that...uh ,
….actually

You never know what you'll hear; you very likely will be insulted, but you won't be bored.

For Greats are you see, let him see me, let him see this war, not too many followers4. Fight, you people.

They avail us of our thing that will be cared. You’re producing useful things in order to satisfy people's needs, now...

Ok, now you say you do find basic needs and so many words, and I can conclude that I'm gonna be a caveman...
…the answer will be this, ever since you ...

And you may not understand everything you hear. If you're from the States like me ,it's enlightening to visit the mother country and find yourself struggling to understand English English. I'll never forget my first visit as a teen - my first solo adventure. The landlady5 at my bed-and-breakfast asked me "At what time would you like to be knocked up in the morning? Would a fried egg be suitable"? The next morning I got a rap on my door at 7:30 and half hour later she gave me a big English breakfast. Not exactly what I was expecting.

For a Yankee like me travelling in England is an adventure in accents and idioms. Some of the accents are so thick; only a local could understand.

…frozen that 10 pounds, that your pension is out supposed to be decorating your Christmas, to provide you a better Christmas chair. Still be...rate on your mortgages. I will tell you...
