范例一：Barney tour  巴尼旅行

Where did you get all these Barney tour pamphlets?

I took them from a travel agency. Look at those nice pictures, lash forest, palm fringed, white sand beaches, crystal blue ocean, they’re breath-taking. It is like paradise on earth.
我从一家旅行社拿的。看看这些漂亮的图片，森林，环绕的棕榈树，白色的沙滩，水晶蓝的海洋，它们太令人赞叹了。它就像地球上的天堂。

That’s why it’s become a very popular holiday destination these years. Someone told me the service there is very good too. Are you planning to spend the holiday there?
这就是为什么现在它成为非常受欢迎的度假胜地。有人告诉我，那里的服务也非常好。你打算去那里度假吗？

是的，我正在考虑去旅行社报名。他们下个旅行团和我下个月的假期在同一时间。

范例二：Visit terra-cotta warriors  参观兵马俑

Have you ever been to Xi’an?  你有去过西安吗？

Yes, I’ve been there several times on business trips. But I have never really seen the terra-cotta warriors as it is outside the city.
是的，我去那里出过几次差。但是我还真的没有去看过兵马俑，因为那是在郊外。

I’ve heard many people saying that it is a place worth touring. I really want to see the old walls and terra-cotta warriors one day. Of course I won’t miss the local food either. You know, the sites interests a food in scenery, food is a key factor when visiting a place.
我听很多人说那是一个值得游玩的地方。我真的很想有一天去看看古代的墙和兵马俑。但是我也不会错过当地的食物。你知道的,景点就是食物与风景的结合，食物是参观一定地方的重要因素。

I agree. As long as the food is not too bizarre once I saw some people eating insects. That is frightening.
我同意。只要食物不是太怪诞，我曾今看过一些人吃困从。太可怕了。

Sure it is. Is it convenient to get there by plane?
确实是这样。乘飞机去那里方便吗？

Well, the airport is quite far from the downtown area, but it is still more convenient than taking the train.
额，机场离商业区很远，但是比乘火车方便多了。
