Part 1 新题:keys(确认新题)

1. Do you always bring a lot of keys with you?

你总是带很多钥匙吗？

No, I don’t bring any keys with me now, because I don’t use them anymore. My apartment uses code lock, so I just have to remember the password. When I arrive at my work place, there is still no need for keys, because I use a swipe card to open doors and clock on. In my opinion, keys are becoming old-fashioned and are fading out of people’s lives.

不，我现在不带任何钥匙，因为我不再使用它们了。我的公寓使用密码锁，所以我只需要记住密码即可。当我到达我的工作地点时，仍然不需要钥匙，因为我使用刷卡开门和打卡。在我看来，钥匙正在变得过时，正在淡出人们的生活。

2. Have you ever lost your keys?

你丢过钥匙吗？
Yes, I lost my key when I was in high school. When I left my school and headed home, I realized I had lost the key to my bike. I spent a long time looking for it but failed to find it. It was a long ride from my school to my home, and I didn’t bring any money with me. As a result, I asked my friend for help and to take me to my home with his bike.

是的，我在高中时丢了钥匙。当我离开学校回家时，我发现我的自行车钥匙丢了。我花了很长时间寻找它，但没有找到它。从学校到家要走很远的路，我也没带钱。于是，我向朋友求助，用他的自行车送我回家。

3. Do you often forget the keys and lock yourself out?

你是否经常忘记钥匙而把自己锁在门外？

No, I guess not, probably because I’m slightly OCD (强迫症) when I go out. I mean I would check my keys, phones, or things like that several times before going out. So, you know I can’t be locked out apart from the exception that I’m just not behaving like myself for some reason (某种原因，不在状态).

不，我猜不是，可能是因为我外出时有点强迫症（强迫症）。我的意思是我会在出门前多次检查我的钥匙、电话或类似的东西。所以，你知道我不能被拒之门外，除非我只是因为某种原因不像我自己那样行事（某种原因，不在状态）。

4. Do you think it’s a good idea to leave your keys with a neighbour?

你认为把钥匙留给邻居好吗？

Unfortunately, no. Even if we are on rather friendly terms (关系相当友好), I don’t think that I would leave them my house keys. I would say that trusting someone is too risky these days. Currently, I’m living alone, so I would rather ask my parents to keep it than leave my neighbors the spare keys whenever I go away.

很不幸的是，不行。即使我们关系相当友好（关系当朋友好），我也不认为我会把我的房门钥匙留给他们。我会说现在信任某人太冒险了。目前，我一个人住，所以我宁愿让我的父母保管它，也不愿在我离开时把备用钥匙留给邻居。
