（单词翻译）

Todd: Hey, Victor, I hear you're going home tomorrow.

Victor: Yes, I am.

Todd: Ah, that's too bad... So how long have you been here?

Victor: I've been here for two weeks.

Todd: I'm sorry, I was never sure. Why did you come to Japan?

Victor: Came to Japan to study martial1 arts. Budo-taijutsu is the art that we study.

Todd: Oh! OK, cool! So are like a black belt2?

Victor: Yes, yes!

Todd: Oh, really! Wow, how long have you been doing your martial arts?

Victor: I've been studying this art for about 18 years I guess.

Todd: Really!

Victor: A long time.

Todd: That's a long time. You're a young looking guy. You like 18 years.

Victor: No no no, I'm an old guy.

Todd: Well, so when you go back to the States you also train

Victor: Yes, yes! We have a group that we train in martial arts there as sort3 of a hobby. It's sort of a way of life also. But I have a real job. I'm a civil4 engineer.

Todd: So, actually what does a civil engineer do?

Victor: In America, a civil engineer designs things. In my case, I work on buildings, buildings that have structural5 problems, and I work on repair plans.

Todd: OK. Sounds like a tough6 job.

Victor: It's OK. It's interesting. All buildings need repairs and it's fun.

Todd: Great, thanks a lot, Victor. Have a safe trip tomorrow.

Victor: Well, thank you very much
