第六周：星期四　Travelling in Oceania 大洋洲游

A：Hurry up! Let's go in.

B：OK. I'm coming.

A：Here you can explore the wetlands and plants of the sanctuary. You'll encounter a diversity of Australian animals in their natural settings.

B：That's wonderful! It's like going back to nature.

A：Yes, it is.

B：Look at the crowd over there. What are they doing?

A：Let's go up and look. Ah, they are feeding the kangaroos with fruits.

B：Have you got some fruits? I'd like to feed them, too.

A：Yes, I do. Here you are.

B：You're so thoughtful!

A：Do you want a photo with the kangaroos?

B：Yes, please.

A：OK. Wait a moment.

A：快点!我们进去吧。

B：好的。我来了。

A：在这儿你可以领略到保护区内的沼泽地和植物。你会发现自然环境中的不同种类的澳大利亚动物。

B：太好了!犹如回归大自然一般。

A：嗯，是啊。

B：看那边那么多人。他们在干什么?

A：我们过去看看。啊，他们在用水果喂袋鼠。

B：你带水果了吗?我也想喂喂袋鼠。

A：嗯，带了。给你。

B：你考虑得真周到!

A：你想和袋鼠照张相吗?

B：想啊。

A：好的。稍等一会儿。

A：Wow! Brisbane is a pretty modern city.

B：Yeah. It combines the vitality of a modern, bustling city, with the sociable atmosphere of a country town.

A：Look at the modern glass skyscrapers towering over the old wooden houses perched on stilts. It is a scene of harmonybetween the old and the new. It's marvelous!

B：It is marvelous!

A：I was told that Brisbane is best known for the Gold coast.

B：And the Great Barrier Reef.

A：That's right. Why don't we go there now?

B：No hurry. First of all, I want you to see something unique in Australian.

A：What is it?

B：Warana.

A：哇!布里斯班真是一座现代化的城市。

B：是啊。它把现代喧闹城市的生命活力和乡村城镇的社交氛围融为一体。

A：看那座现代的玻璃摩天大楼。它俯瞰着由支柱撑着的古老木屋，构成一幅古老和现代相结合的和谐景色。真是太美了!

B：美极了!

A：我听说布里斯班最负盛名的是黄金海岸。

B：还有大堡礁。

A：是的。我们现在为什么不去那儿呢?

B：不要急。首先，我想让你看看澳大利亚独一无二的东西。

A：是什么?

B：蓝天盛会。

A：Can you tell me something about Sydney?

B：Sure. Is that where you're going to take a trip?

A：That's right. I'll visit it tomorrow.

B：I've been there only once, but I'll tell you what I can remember.

A：When did you go there?

B：Last month. I stayed there for one day.

A：Did you see much?

B：No, I just visited some important places. You can't see all of the resorts in one day.

A：What did you enjoy most?

B：Sydney Opera House. It's so magnificent.

A：Maybe I should visit it.

B：Don't miss it, or you will regret it.

A：请您给我讲讲悉尼的情况好吗?

B：当然可以。您是不是打算去那里旅游呢?

A：是的。我打算明天去那游玩。

B：我只去过那里一次，不过我可以把我记得的东西告诉您。

A：您是什么时候去的?

B：上个月。我在那里待了一天。

A：您看了很多地方吗?

B：不多，我只看了一些重要的地方。您不可能在一天时间里把景点都看完。A：您最欣赏的是什么?

B：悉尼歌剧院。太壮观了。

A：也许我应该去参观。

B：千万别错过它，否则您会后悔的。

A：Is it the first time you have come to Wellington?

B：Yes. Is Wellington larger than Auckland?

A：No, Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand.

B：Isn't Wellington the capital?

A：Yes. But Auckland was the capital until 1840. Today it's still a very important cultural city.

B：I hear Wellington develops very quickly.

A：Yes. It has come alive in almost every respect. B：Does it have any museums or something like that?

A：Yes. Te Papa Tongarewa Museum is the latest major attraction.

B：It's hard for me to decide where to go first.

A：Don't worry. We will go to both of the cities.

B：That's great.

A：这是你第一次来惠灵顿吗?

B：是的。惠灵顿比奥克兰大吗?

A：不，奥克兰是新西兰最大的城市。

B：惠灵顿不是首都吗?

A：是的。但1840年以前，奥克兰是首都。现在奥克兰还是一个重要的文化城市。

B：听说惠灵顿发展得很快。

A：是的。惠灵顿在每一方面都活跃起来了。

B：那里有博物馆或诸如此类的游览地吗?

A：有。特巴巴同加利瓦博物馆是最新的主要游览地。

B：先去哪个城市对我来说太难决定了。

A：别着急。两个城市我们都会去的。

B：太好啦。

A：Where shall we go tomorrow?

B：Can you guess?

A：I'm afraid I don't know.

B：You can go snorkeling, diving or swimming there.

A：What is it then?

B：It's the Great Barrier Reef.

A：It seems that I heard about it, but what is the Great Barrier Reef?

B：The Great Barrier Reef features more than 2，500 individual reefs and 900 islands.

A：What things can we see there?

B：We can see thousands of brilliantly colored species of marine life.

A：Do you have to snorkel to see those things?

B：No, of course not. You can view from underwater observatories and glass-bottomed boats.

A：That's really good!

A：我们明天要去哪儿?

B：你猜呢?

A：恐怕我不知道。

B：你可以去那潜水、跳水或游泳。

A：那是什么地方?

B：是大堡礁。

A：我好像听说过，可大堡礁到底是什么啊?

B：大堡礁是以由2500多个单个礁石和900多个岛屿构成。

A：在那儿我们能看到什么?

B：我们能看到色彩斑斓的、数以千计的海洋生物。

A：你必须得潜游才能看到这些东西吗?

B：不，当然不用。你可以从水下观测台或坐有玻璃船底的船观看。

A：那太好了!
