Conversation
A: Welcome back. How was your vacation?
歡迎回來,假期過得怎么樣?
B: It was fantastic, but I'm glad to be back. Being a tourist is really tiring.
好極了,不過回到家我還是很高興,畢竟出門旅游還是挺累的。
A: Where did you end up going?
那你后來決定去哪里了?
B: Because it's off-season, we got a really good package deal to Paris, so we went there.
由于屬于旅游淡季,我們趕上了一個(gè)去巴黎的特別優(yōu)惠的旅游團(tuán),所以我們就去那里了。
A: I've always wanted to go to Paris. The Eiffel Tower is one of the most famous tourist attractions in the world. Did you go to the top?
我一直都很想去巴黎。埃菲爾鐵塔是世界上最著名的名勝之一,你登到頂塔頂了嗎?
B: That was the first thing we did. I have a few pictures, do you want to see them?
我們第一站就是去的那兒,我拍了一些照片,你想看看嗎?
A: Sure, what's this one a picture of?
當(dāng)然,就這樣拍的是什么?
B: That's a picture of me on our fourth day of traveling. I'm standing next to a famous fountain in the center of the city.
這是我在旅游的第四天拍的,我站在市中心一個(gè)特別有名的噴泉旁邊。
A: You don't look very happy in that picture.
你看起來怎么不高興???
B: No, by that time, I was sick of sightseeing. I had had enough of art galleries, cathedrals, fountains, statues and palaces. We spent that afternoon walking around a flea market. We had a few coffees, watched a movie and went for a swim in a pool at the hotel.
不是,那時(shí)候我對(duì)觀光已經(jīng)有點(diǎn)膩了。我參觀了太多的美術(shù)館,教堂,噴泉,雕像和宮殿。那天下午我們?nèi)ス淞颂槭袌?chǎng),喝咖啡,看電影,然后回酒店泳池游了泳。
A: My travel agent always reminds me to plan a day of relaxing for every three days of sightseeing. Did you go to the Louvre?
我參加的旅行社總是提醒我,每觀光三天就要騰出一天時(shí)間來放松身心。你們?nèi)ケR浮宮的嗎?
B: Of course. You can't go to Paris without going to their most famous art gallery. I was surprised by how small the Mona Lisa was.
當(dāng)然去了,去巴黎怎么能不去最有名的美術(shù)館呢。但是,蒙娜麗莎那幅畫怎么這么小??!真讓我大吃一驚!
A: That's what everyone says. I can't wait to see it for myself someday.
每個(gè)去過的人都這么說。我已經(jīng)等不及了,一定要找時(shí)間親自去看一看。
