Welcome to 6 Minute English, I’m Neil.  大家好。欢迎来到六分钟英语，我是尼尔。  And I’m Sam.  我是萨姆。  And we are sitting here in New Broadcasting House, in the middle of London. Would you say, Sam, that this is an isolated place?  我们现在坐在位于伦敦中心的新广播大楼。萨姆，你会说这是一个与世隔绝的地方吗?  Oh, no, not at all. Isolated’ means far away from other places and people.  噢，不，一点也不。“隔绝的”指的是远离其它地方和人群。  Does that mean then, do you think, that you can’t be lonely here, with all these people around and all these things to do?  那么你认为那指的是在这里和这些人一起做事情不会孤独吗?  Ah, good question. Can you be lonely in a crowd? Yes, of course, I think you can be because being lonely isn’t about physical isolation. I think you can be lonely anywhere if you feel that you are disconnected from the world around you, if you feel that no one understands you. If you are living happily in isolation in The Scottish Highlands, for example, I’m sure you could feel lonely if you came here to London.  啊，问得好。你在一群人中间会感觉孤独吗?是的，当然，我觉得你会感到孤独，因为孤独并不是身体上的孤立。如果你感觉自己和你周围的世界孤立开来，如果你感觉没有人理解你，那我觉得你在任何地方都是孤独的。举个例子，如果你开心地住在与世隔绝的苏格兰高地，那我确定你来伦敦这里会感到孤独。  Well, loneliness is today’s topic. The BBC has just completed a big survey about it which we will learn more about shortly. But first, of course, a question: Where is the most isolated inhabited place on the planet by which I mean the place furthest away from anywhere else with the fewest people living there. Is it: a) McMurdo Station in Antarctica b) Siwa Oasis in Egypt’s Western Desert, or is it c) the island of Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic? What do you think, Sam?  好吧，孤独是今天的主题。BBC刚刚完成一项关于这个主题的大调查，我们将会很快了解到更多。但是首先当然有一个问题：哪里是地球上最与世隔绝的栖息地?我指的是离其它任何地方都很远的地方，住在那里的人也最少。是a)南极洲的麦克默多站 b)埃及西部沙漠的西瓦绿洲 还是c)南大西洋的特里斯坦达库尼亚岛?你认为是什么，萨姆?  I’ve got absolutely no idea, so this is just a guess.I think it’s the one in Antarctica. I’m going to go wit
