1--我曾聽說過許多有關(guān)日本的事。這個(gè)國(guó)家很美嗎?
2--并不是每個(gè)人都認(rèn)為日本美，但對(duì)我來說，它是美真是讓人嘆為觀止。對(duì)法國(guó)你也有同樣的感覺，是嗎?
1--是的，對(duì)法國(guó)我確實(shí)有同樣的感覺。急流的小河、肥沃的山谷、繁華的大城市—它的景色真美。你來描述一下日本的地理狀況，好嗎?
2--好的。它是由亞洲東海岸外的四個(gè)大島和其他一些小島嶼組成的。法國(guó)不是島國(guó)。是嗎?
1--哦，是的。法國(guó)不是島國(guó)，它坐落在歐洲大陸的西部，但是法國(guó)在南部和西部海岸確實(shí)有許多優(yōu)良的海港和港口城市。日本有好的海港嗎?
2--有的。橫濱是世界上最著名的港口城市之一。日本是世界上最大的造船國(guó)，在南部群島還有著綿延的山脈。法國(guó)的山并不多，是嗎?
