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啊？

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。
