我们并不认为自己属于这里，但是现在我们依恋我们生活的这片土地。

　　主持人：谢谢乔治。这位是来自悉尼的菲奥纳。

　　菲奥纳：大家好。澳大利亚是我的出生地，但是我妈妈来自苏格兰，我爸爸来自法国。那就是澳大利亚文化的伟大之处--它是这样一种不同文化的混合体。早期的移民大多是英格兰人和爱尔兰人，但是自1945年以来，人口中越来越多地混入了南欧人和亚洲人。

　　主持人：哇！这些不同的文化是怎样影响澳大利亚文化的不同方面的呢？

　　菲奥纳：噢，比如，我们在现代澳大利亚烹饪上看到的所有这些影响。主厨们把它叫做"混合食物"--南欧美食和东南亚食物的绝妙混合。甜食是最好的--它们味道好极了！

　　Host：Sounds tasty!

　　George：And kangaroos are tasty too! In Melbourne, the only place we ever see kangaroos is on the menu in a restaurant.You mainly see kangaroos in the vast⑲ area of desert in the middle of Australia.This is a great place for camping but you have to look out for⑳ snakes and spiders - Australia has some of the most dangerous in the world.

　　Host：So do many people live in the desert?

　　George：Not really.There are people who work in the mines\s\up1(21(21)，of course.Australia actually exports\s\up1(22(22) the most diamonds and coal in the world！And there are also a lot of sheep farms in the desert areas - in fact, I've heard that there are seven sheep for every person.But most Australians live on the coast. That's why\s\up1(23(23) surfing is such a popular sport.

　　Fiona：But it's not the only sport Australians are fond\s\up1(24(24) of\s\up1(25(25).Because the weather's so good，Australians like being outdoors\s\up1(26(26).Walking，fishing，horse­riding，tennis，golf and sailing are all popular\s\up1(27(27).We take sport very seriously\s\up1(28(28) and have produced great Olympic swimmers and top cyclists.

　　Host：So is Australia all about beach barbecues and surfing？What about art and literature\s\up1(29(29)？

　　George：Contrary\s\up1(30(30) to popular belief，Australia is not a dull\s\up1(31(31) place at all for people wanting culture\s\up1(32(32).There's a really lively\s\up1(33(33) cultural scene here.Australia has produced some famous painters and world­class writers.
