可爱的加拿大姑娘超激动中国游：第二天：历史冰冷的脚趾

After the grandeur of the Forbidden City, it was time for the first of many massive Chinese meals. The drill goes like this – you sit in a private room, because they clearly don’t want us in the general population, around a big table with a giant lazy susan in the middle. There’s unlimited tea and one small class of water, beer, Coke or Sprite. Waiters just bringing giant plates of food and you eat whatever you want. Sometimes you don’t really know what it is, so you make an educated guess.
游览完雄伟的紫禁城，是吃中国大餐的时间。整个流程是这样的——你坐在一个包间里，因为他们显然不想让我们和普通市民坐在一起，大家围坐着一个大桌子，桌子中央有一个巨大的转盘。茶水不限量，但是水、啤酒、可乐或雪碧都是小杯小杯的。服务生不时端上巨大的菜盘子，你想吃什么就吃什么。有些时候你实在不知道自己吃的是什么，可以做个有根据的猜测。

Normally most of the dishes are a variation veggies and some meat, not really spicy, there’s a bowl of egg drop soup, one bowl of plain rice, and dessert is always either watermelon or oranges. At this point in the trip, it was all new and exciting food, and we all went to town, so much that only 2 out of the 10 of us even bothered to have dinner that night.
通常大多数的菜肴都是蔬菜和肉的变化搭配，不是很辣，还有一碗蛋花汤，一碗白米饭，餐后甜点要么是西瓜要么是橘子。在旅程中，中国大餐是新奇并令人兴奋的食物，我们海吃胡塞，肚子滚圆，除了极个别吃货，大家都撑到甚至吃不下晚饭。

Today was one of those “but wait, there’s more!” days, because everywhere we went there was always another stop on the itinerary, and they were all great. From Lunch we walked through Tientan Park and saw the awesome Temple of Heaven. Lesson learned, everything is bigger here than it looks in pictures. Especially on the nice sunny day we had, it looked really spectacular, and you nearly forgot that the chaos of Beijing was just meters away.
今天是一个“等等，还有更多精彩”的日子，因为我们每去一个地方，它都是旅游攻略上的另一站，并且它们全部都很棒。午饭过后，我们步行去天坛公园，欣赏了壮丽的天坛。友情提示，这里所有的一切实物都比图片要大得多。尤其是在这种阳光灿烂的日子，它看起来真的非常雄伟壮丽，这种静谧肃穆的环境让人几乎忘记北京城的喧嚣吵闹与自己只有一墙之隔。
