Todd： Cool, so actually, when you read, like where do you normally read?

Todd：酷。那，当你阅读的时候，你通常都在哪里呢？

Mark： Where do I normally read? On the trains, actually. I'm always reading on the trains. I read because I'm always traveling to work. A lot of pleasure. And it's funny because I meet people on the trains when I'm reading, they look over at my book.

Mark：通常在哪里阅读？其实，一般都在火车上。我经常在火车上阅读。我阅读是因为我总是要上班。其乐无穷。同时那也很有趣，因为当我在火车上阅读的时候，会遇见很多人，他们会翻看我的书。

Todd： That's cool. I love to read on the trains.
