走遍加拿大 Lesson 23:GOING TO AN ART GALLERY[2]

Dashan: Oh, look. We've just passed a totem pole. The Native art collection can't be far away.
大山：嘿，看，我们刚经过了一个图腾柱。土著艺术品的展览一定不会太远了。

Yunbo: Native art is very popular in Canada, isn't it?
云波：土著艺术品在加拿大很受欢迎，是吧？

Dashan: Yes. Canada's aboriginal people make beautiful art. Don't you remember? We went to that wonderful Native art store in Vancouver. It had totem poles, masks, beadwork, basket and prints.
大山：是的，加拿大的土著居民创造出了很精美的艺术品。你们还记得吧，我们在温哥华去过的那家漂亮的土著工艺品商店。里面有图腾柱、面具、镶缀珠、篮筐以及版画。

Yunbo: That's right.
云波：是啊。

Rumei: This art is spectacular. It's very symbolic, isn't it?
如梅：这种艺术品非常壮观，富有象征意义，你说是吧？

Yunbo: Yes, it is.
云波：对。

Rumei: Look at the unusual animal figures.
如梅：看那些奇特的动物塑像。

Dashan: Yeah. They're quite interesting. Did you know that each piece of art tells a story?
大山：对，个个饶有兴趣。你知道吗？每一件艺术品都讲述一个故事呢。

Rumei: No, I didn't. Let's look around some more.
如梅：我原来不知道。我们再多看看。

Rumei: How do you guys feel about taking a break and getting a cup of tea? My feet are killing me. This gallery must have a restaurant.
如梅：我们休息一下，喝杯茶你们俩觉得怎么样？我的脚疼死了。美术馆里一定会有餐馆吧。

Dashan: It does. Actually, I wouldn't mind taking some weight off my feet, too.
大山：确实有。说句实话我也想歇歇脚。

Yunbo: Well, I prefer to look at some more art. Do you mind?
云波：我倒是情愿再多看一会展览，你们不会在意吧？

Rumei: Of course not.
如梅：当然不会。

Dashan: Okay. We'll go to the restaurant and then meet you in the gift shop in forty-five minutes.
大山：好的，我们到餐馆去，40分钟后我们在礼品店碰头。

Yunbo: Great.
云波：好的。

Rumei: Don't be late.
如梅：可别晚了。

Yunbo: I won't.
云波：我不会的。

Rumei: I should buy a gift for Yunbo's mother.
如梅：我应该给云波的妈妈买件礼物。

Dashan: You'll probably find a nice present at the gift shop.
大山：在礼品店估计你能选到一份好礼品。

Yunbo: Have you been waiting long?
云波：你们等了很久了吗？

Rumei: Yes, since 4:45.
如梅：是啊，从4点45分就开始等你了。

Yunbo: Oh, no! You've been waiting half an hour. I'm really sorry.
云波：哎呀，真糟，你们等了半个小时了。我真的非常抱歉。

Rumei: It's okay. I liked having the time to browse.
如梅：没关系。能有时间多转一转我很高兴。

Yunbo: Have you bought anything?
云波：你买了什么东西了吗？

Rumei: No, not yet. I'm thinking of getting an address book for your mother. What do you think of this one?
如梅：还没有。我正在想给你母亲买一本通讯簿，你觉得这个怎么样？

Yunbo: It's beautiful. My mother will love it. Thanks for picking it out.
云波：很漂亮。我的母亲会喜欢的。谢谢你为她挑选。

Rumei: You're welcome.
如梅：不用客气。

Dashan: Well, we ought to go now.
大山：啊，我们得走了。
