智利旅行小贴士
Hana: So, you're from Chile?
哈娜：你来自智利?
Daniel: Yeah, that's right.
丹尼尔：对，没错。
Hana: If I ever travel to Chile, do you have any tips?
哈娜：如果我去智利旅行，你有什么建议吗?
Daniel: Well yeah, there are a lot of things that you should do in Chile and also a lot of things that you shouldn't do in Chile.
丹尼尔：智利有很多你应该去体验的事情，当然也有很多你不能做的事情。
Hana: Oh! For example?
哈娜：哦!能举几个例子吗?
Daniel: Well I would definitely recommend to try Chilean food, especially in the small shops that we have, like in every street. If you go to like big restaurants, it's not going to be really authentic. So I think you should try small shops, in every street. Also if you're interested in nature, well you know, Chile has really long mountains, right. And they're beautiful, especially if you go in winter, you can go skiing and it's not far, it's about like two hours from like anywhere. So that's really cool. You should definitely do that. Also one thing, remember that it's Latin America, so you have to take care of your belongings. A lot of my friends have lost stuff there. But if you pay attention, it's going to be fine, just don't be too obvious that you're a tourist, and that's going to be alright. And probably lastly, I think you can see a lot of history there, our history, like the Indians we had before the Spanish came, and also the mix between the Spanish and those Indians.
丹尼尔：我一定会推荐你品尝智利美食，尤其是每条街上都有的那种小店。如果你去大餐厅，那食物可能不会太正宗。所以我建议你尝试一下每条街上都有的小餐厅。如果你对自然景观感兴趣，你知道智利有很长的山脉。这些山非常漂亮，到了冬天会更加壮丽，冬天你可以去滑雪，而且距离也不是很远，大概有两个小时的车程。这非常酷。你一定要试试。另外，智利属于拉丁美洲，所以你一定要看管好自己的财物。我有许多朋友都在那里丢过东西。不过如果你注意一下的话，不会有太大问题，不要让自己看上去太像游客，这样就可以了。最后，我建议你去看看智利的历史，在西班牙殖民统治智利以前的印第安人，还有西班牙人和那些印第安人的融合。
Hana: Is there anything I shouldn't do?
哈娜：有没有我不应该做的事情?
Daniel: Well, I wouldn't really recommend you to take public buses, they're not very safe, so don't do it. Metro is much better, it's cleaner, it's faster and you can get pretty much anywhere in the city, so you shouldn't take buses. And also you should avoid downtown during night, night time, it's quite dangerous I think as any other big city. It is like any other city in the world, it's kind of dangerous when you go downtown at night time. So I think those would be my tips for you.
丹尼尔：我不建议你坐公交车，因为不安全，所以不要坐公交车。地铁要安全得多，而且更干净更快，地铁可以抵达城市大部分地区，所以不要坐公交。另外，你也要避免在晚上去市区，和其他大城市一样，晚上非常危险。我认为世界上其他大型城市也是一样，晚上去市中心会很危险。这些就是我给你的建议。
Hana: I see, I'll keep that in mind, thank you.
哈娜：我知道了，我会记住的，谢谢你。
Daniel: You're welcome.
丹尼尔：不客气。

达努：你认为为什么那里名为大理石沙滩?
Widuri: Marble Beach. Maybe because the sands look like marble?
威杜里：大理石沙滩。可能是因为那里的沙子看上去像大理石?
Danu: Exactly. When you get in the sea, the sea bed looks like exactly like marble.
达努：完全正确。你在海里的时候，海底看上去非常像大理石。
Widuri: Wow.
威杜里：哇哦。
Danu: It's so blue, it shines when the sun is bright. You can see even from far away the blue sea bed of Marble Beach.
达努：海底是蓝色的，在阳光明媚的日子里，海底会闪闪发光。在远离大理石沙滩的地方也能看到蓝色的海底。
Widuri: Wow.
威杜里：哇哦。
Danu: And the best thing about the Marble Beach is for about 1 kilometer, the depth of water is the same. It's really, really shallow.
达努：大理石沙滩最棒的地方在于，那里的面积大约为1公里，水也很浅。非常浅。
Widuri: Oh yeah?
威杜里：真的吗?
Danu: So nobody drowns if you swim in Marble Beach. You can swim even if you cannot swim.
达努：所以没有人在大理石沙滩游泳会溺水。即使你不会游泳，也可以在那里游泳。
Widuri: Oh really?
威杜里：哦，真的吗?
Danu: Yes. And since Sri Lanka is a tropical country, if it is not the rainy season, Marble Beach will be filled with people from outside Sri Lanka as well as with the people from Sri Lanka, local people and foreign people because tourists, they love to do sun bathing.
达努：对。斯里兰卡是热带国家，如果不是雨季，那大理石沙滩会挤满来自世界各地的游客，当然也有斯里兰卡本地人，既有当地人也有外国人，因为游客喜欢晒日光浴。
Widuri: Yeah, they are. Have you visited that Marble Beach?
威杜里：对，没错。你去过大理石沙滩吗?
Danu: Yes, so many times. Usually, my friends and we do road trips to this place because the road to Marble Beach is very beautiful and especially, there is no police in this area so you can drive freely.
达努：我去过很多次。通常，我会和朋友开车去，因为通往大理石沙滩的那条公路非常漂亮，而且那里没有警察，你可以自由自在地开车。
Widuri: Oh I see. So you mentioned that Kandy is in the middle of Sri Lanka and this one is in the southern part.
威杜里：我知道了。你刚提到坎迪位于斯里兰卡中部，而大理石沙滩位于斯里兰卡南部。
Danu: No. Kandy is in the central part of Sri Lanka and Marble Beach in northeastern part of Sri Lanka.
达努：不是。坎迪位于斯里兰卡中部，大理石沙滩位于斯里兰卡东北部。
Widuri: Is it far?
威杜里：这两个地方离得远吗?
Danu: It is roughly 170 kilometers from my city.
达努：大理石沙滩离我的家乡城市坎迪大约170公里。
Widuri: Oh, not so far. Interesting. Any other famous place near those two places?
威杜里：哦，不是太远。有意思。这两个地方附近还有其他著名景点吗?
Danu: Oh yes, sure. Near Marble Beach, there's another Hindu temple.
达努：哦，当然有了。在大理石沙滩附近，还有一座印度教寺庙。
Widuri: Okay.
威杜里：好。
Danu: And the landscape of this temple is very interesting because in Sri Lanka, usually, around the beach, around the coastal area, there are no highlands or mountains. But this exact Hindu temple is situated on a little mountain right next to Marble Beach. And if you look down from the Hindu temple, it's like a cliff. It's like a straight fall into the water.
达努：这座寺庙的景色非常特别，因为在斯里兰卡，通常海滩和海岸地区附近，没有高地或高山。但是这座印度教寺庙就坐落在大理石沙滩旁边的一座小山上。如果你从这座寺庙往下看，看上去就像悬崖一样。好像会直接掉入水中一样。
Widuri: Wow.
威杜里：哇哦。
Danu: So there had been people jumping off from here and trying to suicide as well.
达努：所以，有人会从那里跳下去，试图自杀。
Widuri: Oh really?
威杜里：真的吗?
Danu: As an offering to the god.
达努：作为上帝的祭品。
Widuri: Wow.
威杜里：哇哦。
Danu: Yeah.
达努：嗯。
Widuri: That's a bit scary. But it's so interesting. So near that Marble Beach, we have the beautiful cliff plus the Hindu temple.
威杜里：那有些吓人。不过也很有意思。在大理石沙滩附近，有美丽的悬崖和印度教寺庙。
Danu: That's true.
达努：没错。
Widuri: Very interesting. Wow, I definitely want to go there. I will stay at your house and then we go to both...
威杜里：真有趣。哇哦，我一定要去那里游玩。我可以住在你家，然后我们两个一起去……
Danu: Temple of the Tooth Relic...
达努：佛牙寺……
Widuri: Yes, and then...
威杜里：对，还有……
Danu: And the Marble Beach.
达努：大理石沙滩。
Widuri: The Marble Beach and then to the Hindu temple.
威杜里：去大理石沙滩，然后去那座印度教寺庙。
Danu: Definitely, I'll be your guide.
达努：一定要去，我可以当你的导游。
Widuri: Oh thank you, Danu.
威杜里：哦，谢谢你，达努。
Danu: Thank you, Widuri.
达努：谢谢你，威杜里。
拉斯维加斯旅游小贴士
Lupe: My mom is actually interested in going to Vegas. She's never been there and she knows you and I have been there quite a few times, so she was wondering maybe if we could give her some do's and don'ts about going to Vegas because she's never been there and I sort of explained to her some of the good things about Vegas and some of the things she shouldn't do, but I think I'm missing a few things. What do you think?
卢佩：我妈妈很想去拉斯维加斯。她从来没去过那里，她知道我和你去过拉斯维加斯很多次，所以她希望我们能告诉她去拉斯维加斯旅行的注意事项，因为她从来没去过那里，我跟她说了一些在拉斯维加斯可以做的事情和一些不应该做的事情，不过我想我可能漏掉了一些事情。你有什么建议吗?
Kara: Well, I think the most important thing about Las Vegas is to wear comfortable shoes. You do so much walking there it's ridiculous so I think to wear flat comfortable shoes, tennis shoes, whatever you're most comfortable in. I've had many days or nights with blisters all over my feet, so that's the number one 'do': wear comfortable shoes.
卡拉：我认为去拉斯维加斯旅行最重要的事情是要穿舒服的鞋。很不可思议的是在拉斯维加斯会走很多路，所以我建议要穿平底舒适的鞋子或是网球鞋，就是那种最舒服的鞋子。我曾经有很多天脚上起满了水泡，所以第一项应该做的就是：穿舒服的鞋子。
Lupe: That's true. I did forget about that just because, you know, staying there either you take a cab everywhere, but most people want to do sightseeing and looking at the different hotels, it's a really beautiful place so she will be doing a lot of walking, so I'll definitely keep that in mind and let her know.
卢佩：没错。我的确忘了这点，因为我们一般是坐出租车出去玩，不过有很多人想去观光，或是找酒店，拉斯维加斯是个非常漂亮的城市，所以我妈妈应该走很多路，我一定要记住这点，然后告诉她。
Kara: Another thing I would say is to wear comfortable clothing because when you walk into the casino, if you go in the summer, it's extremely warm there: a hundred degrees or more, and even in the middle of the night it's still that warm outside, but when you walk into the casinos, they have the air-conditioning set at seventy degrees, so outside you get really, really warm and then inside you start getting really cold, so it's good to dress in layers and to be comfortable whatever you're wearing.
卡拉：另一个需要注意的是，要穿舒服的衣服，因为要进赌场的话，如果是夏天室外非常热，可能有100华氏度以上，即使是在半夜也很热，但是赌场里面的空调设置在70华氏度，所以外面温度很高，可是赌场里面会有些冷，所以最好多穿几层衣服，而且要穿舒服的衣服。
Lupe: And remember the first time you and I went, I did think it was a bit too long of a trip so maybe I should tell her to keep it short because it can get really expensive after a few days.
卢佩：你还记得我们第一次去拉斯维加斯吗，我觉得那次的旅行时间太长了，我应该建议她缩短行程，因为在那里待的时间长了以后开销就大了。
Kara: Yeah, Vegas isn't a place you wanna be more than three days. You've had a enough gambling, enough shows, enough sightseeing, it's about time to head home, so I would say to keep it short. It's close enough, you can always go back, but...
卡拉：对，拉斯维加斯这个地方你是不会想在那里待超过三天的。三天的时间，足够在赌场玩尽兴，足够观看表演，而且游玩的也差不多了，所以三天以后就该回家了，我会建议把行程缩短。因为拉斯维加斯很近，随时可以去，不过……
Lupe: And definitely bring enough money because after being there for four days the last time we were there, we did run out of money. So I should definitely tell her that.
卢佩：一定要带够足够的钱，因为上次我们在那里玩了四天就把带的钱花光了。我一定要告诉她这点。
Kara: That we did but your mom doesn't shop as much as us, so I think she'll do OK as long as she stays away from the slot machines.
卡拉：那是我们的情况，不过你妈妈应该不会像我们那样疯狂购物，所以我认为，只要她远离老虎机就不会有这种问题。
日本旅游小贴士
Todd: Keiko, my family is coming to Japan to see me and it's the first time they've been to Japan. What do you recommend? Like what should we see? They are going to be in Tokyo for one week.
托德：惠子，我家人要来日本看我，这是他们第一次来日本。你有什么推荐吗?我们应该去哪里观光?他们会在东京待一周的时间。
Keiko: OK. Do they want to go outside of Tokyo or do they want to stay in Tokyo?
惠子：好。他们想去东京以外的地方吗?还是就在东京转转?
Todd: I think they would like to do one day, a one-day trip outside and then maybe spend the rest of the time in Tokyo.
托德：我想他们可能会有一天去其他地方看看，其他时间都在东京。
Keiko: OK, I think, a lot of people say that Tokyo is not really Japan, you have to go outside of Tokyo to really see Japan because Tokyo is like New York in the states, but I don't think it's true because if you go to downtown in Tokyo you can see a lot of traditional old things for example if you go to places like Asakusa, but in the back streets you can see these old people who grew up in that area, you know doing their own thing in their own little ways and I think Tokyo's quite interesting because you can see, like example, places like Asakusa, you can see on the one side of the street, you can see cosmopolitan, you know, kind of buildings, new buildings and on the other side of the street you can see the old little traditional buildings or the cultures. You can kind of compare at the same time, so I recommend the places like the downtown in Tokyo, Asakusa.
惠子：我想许多人会说，东京并不能代表真正的日本，你要去东京以外的地方看看真正的日本，因为东京就像美国的纽约一样，不过我认为并不是这样，在东京市中心你可以看到许多传统的东西，比如你在浅草的后街可以看到许多在那个地区土生土长的老年人，他们以他们自己的方式生活，我认为东京非常有趣，因为在浅草这样的地方，街道的一侧像大都会一样，你可以看到许多高楼大厦，许多新建筑，而在街道的另一侧你可以看到一些传统建筑，感受到传统文化。你可以进行比较，所以我建议去东京市中心浅草看看。
Todd: How about, what city would you recommend besides Tokyo?
托德：除了东京，你推荐哪个城市呢?
Keiko: Besides Tokyo, my favorite — is it just a one-day trip?
惠子：除了东京以外，我最喜欢的城市……是只有一天的行程吗?
Todd: Let's say two days.
托德：假设两天吧。
Keiko: Two days. Well, if you really had a chance to go really far away, I recommend Shikoku because it's, it has a really nice nature.
惠子：两天。如果你有机会去远一些的地方，我会推荐四国，因为那里的自然环境非常棒。
Keiko: It's a prefectural Shikoku area. It has four prefectures. That's why it's called Shikoku, four countries. It used to be four different countries and you can actually take a bus tour around the four prefectures and then you can see those little small reserved villages between the prefectures.
惠子：四国是日本的一个专区，由四个县组成。这就是为什么称之为四国了，因为有四个国。以前那个地区是四个不同的国家，你可以坐巴士浏览那四个县，还可以浏览各县之间保留下来的小村庄。
Todd: So Shikoku, huh?
托德：四国，是吧?
Keiko: Shikoku is really nice but you have to fly there so if you only have two days, I recommend you go to maybe Kamakura. You can see the shrines and and temples and Buddha.
惠子：四国是个非常棒的地方，不过你要从东京坐飞机过去，如果你只有两天时间，我建议你去鎌仓。可以去那里参观神神、寺庙和佛像。
Todd: So Kamakura. And how far is Kamakura from Tokyo?
托德：鎌仓。鎌仓离东京有多远?
Keiko: About 2 hours from on the train.
惠子：坐火车大概需要两个小时。
Todd: That's not too long.
托德：时间还不算太长
Keiko: It's not too long and then you can down even further south to Hakone and you can go to a lot of different hot springs.
惠子：对，时间不太长，你可以继续南下前往箱根，可以泡各种不同的温泉。
Todd: Actually, I'm thinking of taking family to Hakone to hot springs but I worry about the prices. How much would a ryokan, a Japanese hotel cost?
托德：实际上我想过带家人去箱根泡温泉，可是我有点担心价钱。日本旅馆大概要花多少钱?
Keiko: About maybe 10,000 yen to 20,000 yen per person.
惠子：一个人大概1万日本到2万日元。
Todd: Oh really?
托德：真的吗?
Keiko: Yeah.
惠子：对。
Todd: So that's about between a hundred and two hundred U.S. dollars. That's not too much.
托德：那就是100美元到200美元。还不算太贵。
Keiko: No, but I mean it can go higher than 20,000 yen. It can always go higher.
惠子：对，不过花费很可能超过2万日元，花费可能会更高。
Todd: Right. I got to be careful.
托德：好，我会注意的。
Keiko: Yeah, but you could also find a place between 10,000 yen and 20,000 yen range.
惠子：不过你也可以找到价位在1万日元到2万日元的旅馆。
Todd: OK, and what — if they could try three Japanese foods, what Japanese foods would you recommend?
托德：好，如果我家人想吃日本菜，你会推荐什么日本美食?
Keiko: I recommend sashimi, the raw fish, and I recommend kani-miso, which is the brain of the crab. That's a very kind of, very special kind of a treatment for the guests.
惠子：我会推荐生鱼片，还有蟹脑。那对客人来说是特别招待。
Todd: Kani-miso.
托德：蟹脑。
Keiko: Kani-miso. Because it's so tiny. The brain of the crab is so tiny, and you can't get so much out of one crab so it's quite expensive and you put that on the cracker, so you put that on the rice.
惠子：对，蟹脑。非常小，蟹脑非常小，一只螃蟹里没有多少，所以价格非常贵，可以放在饼干和米饭上一起吃。
Todd: Wow! Crab brains.
托德：哇!蟹脑。
Keiko: Yeah, crab brains, and if you go to Hakone, it's by the sea so, it's close to the sea so you can get a lot of seafood and I also recommend natto just to see their reaction.
惠子：对，蟹脑，箱根靠近海边，如果你去箱根的话，你可以吃海鲜，我也推荐你们吃纳豆，你可以看看他们的反应。
Todd: Right, ok, thanks a lot, Keiko.
托德：好，非常谢谢你，惠子。
Keiko: Sure.
惠子：不客气。
