实战口语情景对话：Travel 旅游

Michael: Simon have you done much traveling?

迈克尔：西蒙，你经常旅游吗?

Simon: I'd like to think that I have. Yes.

西蒙：我想是的，是。

Michael: OK, so where have you been?

迈克尔：好，那你都去过哪里?

Simon: Well, I've been to a lot of places. I'd probably say about twenty different countries. I've taught English in Japan, Korea, and in Thailand and traveled throughout Southeast Asia. I have family in Europe so I've done the, you know, the high school backpacking trip around Europe and since I'm North American I've visited pretty much all of North America, you know, US, Mexico, Canada, and I went on a delightful trip to Cuba.

西蒙：嗯，我去过很多地方。我大概能说出20个不同的国家。我在日本、韩国和泰国教过英语，去东南亚旅游过。我有家人在欧洲，所以你知道，我高中时在欧洲远足过，因为我来自北美，所以我游览过北美的大部分地区，你知道，美国、墨西哥、加拿大，我还在古巴度过了愉快的旅行。

Michael: Cuba! Excellent!

迈克尔：古巴!真棒!

Simon: How bout you? Are you well traveled?

西蒙：你呢?你去过很多地方吗?

Michael: Um, not as well as you. I think my tally is now is 14 countries. I've been to Scotland, Ireland, England. I've been to Trinidad and Tobago.

迈克尔：嗯，并不像你那么多。我想，目前我大概去过14个国家。我去过苏格兰、爱尔兰和英格兰。我还去过特立尼达和多巴哥。

Simon: Wow that sounds! That would be an interesting place.

西蒙：哇，很好!那一定是个有趣的地方。

Michael: Yeah, it was. I've been to quite a few places in Asia now. Singapore and Hong Kong. I've been to Australia. I've been to about 20 prefectures in Japan.

迈克尔：对，没错。我去过亚洲的许多地方。新加坡和香港。我也去过澳大利亚。目前为止我大概游览过日本的20个县。

Simon: Oh, wow. That's quite a few. Travel in Japan is quite difficult actually. For those of us that don't make a lot of money anyway.

西蒙：哦，哇!那真的很多。实际上在日本旅游很难。当然是对我们这种钱不多的人来说。

Michael: Yeah, it is kind of expensive, but actually, the prefectures are so small, that you can go to quite a few on a local train from Tokyo.

迈克尔：对，有点贵，不过实际上，那些县很小，你从东京坐火车就可以去很多地方。

Simon: That's true. That's true. Ah, is there any prefecture that stands out in your mind as being special or interesting or different?

西蒙：的确是这样。没错。啊，你有想到哪个县很特别、很有趣或是很不同吗?

Michael: Mm, that's a good question. Prefecture! I don't know about Hiroshima prefecture but the city stands out in my mind. The people are really, really lovely. And as far as the scenery, Mie prefecture is gorgeous and for that real Japan experience for that people from abroad, their image of Japan, Hakone in Kanagawa. I stayed in a Japanese inn there and it was just perfect.

迈克尔：嗯，这是个好问题。日本的县!我并不了解广岛县，不过我想到了广岛市。那里的民众非常非常可爱。说到风景，三重县非常漂亮，对那些想体验真正的日本风景的外国人来说，神奈川县箱根很不错。我在那里时住在了一家日式客栈，非常完美。

Simon: Wow, that sounds great. Yeah, for me, the real good stuff in Japan was Tohoku because it's one of the few places in Japan where you don't see power lines everywhere but you still have a lot of Japanese traditional architecture and style.

西蒙：哇，那听起来真不错。嗯，对我来说，日本真正好的地方是东北地区，因为那里是日本少数几个没有电线却有许多日本传统建筑和风格的地方之一。

Michael: Yeah, I had one of those experiences in Tohoku, I think it was in Akita, driving and we passed, we were on a bridge and we passed by a valley with a very traditional Japanese houses and a little tiny river and it was exactly like you imagined Japan.

迈克尔：对，我有过在日本东北地区的经历，我想是在秋田，我们是开车去的，然后路过……当时我们在桥上，经过了一个山谷，那里有非常传统的日式房屋还有小河流，那完全是你所想象的日本的模样。

Simon: Oh, that's great!

西蒙：哇，那真棒!
