(单词翻译)

William: In terms of cultural differences Joe, I mean like there are lots and lots of cultural differences aren't there between the UK and the States... Joe: Yeah. I think it was Bill Bryson who said that Americans live like they're never going to die, whereas1 the British live like they're gonna die tomorrow. And I think what that's a reference2 to is the fact that in the United States we are almost obsessed3 with trying to be as healthy as we can, to build up big homes, big cars, earn as much money as we can. And I think one of the things that I really loved about living in England is that people here really enjoy the simpler things like good beer, good conversation in a pub and enjoying yourself, you know, while you... while you can.
