來聽今天的講解:

你看上去很悠閑,假期過得怎么樣?
B:It was wonderful, we went to Amsterdam. Have you ever been there?
好極了,我們?nèi)チ税⒛匪固氐ぁD闳ミ^嗎?
A:Yes, a couple of years ago, I had an amazing time. It's such an interesting city, don't you think?
幾年前去過,我在那里玩得很開心。那個城市很有意思,是吧?
B: Absolutely. There are so many things to do. We explored everywhere, the canals, The galleries and museums, the coffee houses….. the list goes on and on.
沒錯,可以做很多事。我們什么地方都去,有運河、美術(shù)館、博物館,還有咖啡屋等等一長串地方。
A:When I was there I stayed in a houseboat on one of the canals. Now that was something special, although I couldn't sleep for the first couple of nights. Ir felt strange being so close to the water.
我在那里時,就住在運河上的一條船屋里。盡管前幾個晚上都睡不著覺,但還是覺得很新奇。在離水這么近的地方感覺就是不一樣。
B: Lucky you! We just stayed in a hotel, the Hotel Falcon Plaza. it was pretty nice, though.
你太幸運了!我們只是住在一家旅店里,就是獵鷹廣場大酒店,不過那個酒店也很不錯.
A: What do you think is the most interesting thing in Amsterdam? I mean, I know there are so many to choose from, but try and pick one.
你認(rèn)為阿姆斯特丹最有意思的東西是什么?我知道,有太多東西可供選擇,但你盡量只選擇一種。
B: Maybe the Rijksmuscum. It's huge!There are around 250 rooms filled with some wonderful paintings. I really enjoyed that.
應(yīng)該是荷蘭國立博物館吧、它特別大,大約有250拿房間,里面都擺滿了繪畫精品。我真的很喜歡。
A: I think my fivourite thing was wandering up and down the Damrak, the main street. You can see so many different types of people there, shopping, sitting around lazily or rushing off somewhere.
我想我最喜歡的就是在水壩大道上來回漫步。在那里可以看到很多不同的人,有購物的,有懶洋洋坐著無所事事的,還有匆忙趕著離開去別處的。
B: Yes, the Damrak is an interesting place, I spent quite a lot of time there. I also visited the Anne Frank museum, which was chilling because there were so many photos of Naz soldiers killing Jews.
是的,水壩大道是個有趣的地方,我在那里也呆了很長時間。我還參觀過安妮•弗蘭克博物館,那里有點可怕,因為有很多納粹士兵殘殺猶太人的照片。
A: The strangest thing about Amsterdam is the legal drugs. I can't believe that marijuana can be legal anywhere, but it seems that everyone smokes it there.
阿姆斯特丹最奇怪的事情是吸毒合法。我不敢相信吸食大麻在那里會是合法的,但那里的人好像個個都在吸。
B: The coffee shops sell manjuana cigarttks with coffee, when they asked me if I wanted my coffee "with or without"' , I thought they meant sugar, not drugs !
咖啡屋賣咖啡,還賣大麻香煙。我要咖啡時他們就問我“加不加”,我原以為他們指的是加糖而不是加毒品。
A: The only unfortunate thing about Amsterdam is that it's full of graffiti, I saw lots. Not good grafliti, mindless writing.
阿姆斯特丹唯一令人遺憾的是那里到處都是街頭涂鴉,我看到過不少。涂寫的都是一些亂七八糟的東西。
B: Graffiti can be art if it's done well, but I know what you mean. I saw some too, even on old beautiful buildings. It was a shame, really.
街頭涂鴉弄得好可以成為藝術(shù),但我知道你指的是什么樣的。我也看到一些,甚至一些古老的漂亮建筑上都有,真是令人遺憾。
A: I plan to gro again as soon as I can. I think it's perhaps the best city in the world.
我計劃盡快再去那里一次。,我認(rèn)為阿姆斯特丹可能是世界上最好的城市。
