STUART: I'm glad I brought my jacket on this trip.

SHARON: Yes, I didn't know Washington, DC got so cold in winter.

STUART: What would you like to do today?

SHARON: I really think we should take a tour of the White House.

STUART: I thought we could go to some of the museums.Don't you want to see the museums?

SHARON: Of course. But today I feel like seeing the White House.We should see it first, because it's the most famous historical building here.

STUART: I don't agree. I think the Capitol building is the most famous.But okay. If you want to see the White House, we'll go see it.I'm just afraid it will be boring.

SHARON: Boring? How can it be boring? It sounds very interesting to me.

STUART: But it's the White House. The president and his family live there.They won't let us see most of it. Probably we can only see a couple of rooms.

SHARON: No, that's not true.The White House is very big. And there are a lot of historical exhibits there.The tour will take us through many different rooms. I read about it in the guide.

STUART: Hmm. If that's true, then the security there must be very good.Because it's strange to think they will let people walk around in the White House.

SHARON: I'm sure the security is very tight.Probably they will make us walk through metal detectors like at the airport.

STUART: So I can't take my gun then.

SHARON: Don't always joke like that! You don't have a gun.

STUART: Yes, it's true I don't.

SHARON: You shouldn't say things like that. You could get arrested!

STUART: What? Do you think someone will arrest me for making a joke?Someone will arrest me here at the breakfast table?

SHARON: No. But if you say something like that in the White House,they may take it seriously. Sometimes I think you joke too much.

STUART: I'll be careful. Don't worry. I don't want to get arrested by the FBI.But how long does the White House tour last?

SHARON: I'm not sure. I think it lasts about one hour.

STUART: Alright. We should take a taxi over there right after breakfast.

SHARON: First I want to look in the travel guide.Maybe they don't have tours in the morning.

STUART: That's a good idea. Do you want some more coffee?

SHARON: No, I'm fine.

史都爾：還好這趟行程我有帶夾克來。

雪倫：是啊，我不知道華盛頓特區(qū)的冬天這么冷。

史都爾：今天想做什么?

雪倫：我真的覺得應該去參觀白宮。

史都爾：我覺得可以去參觀博物館。你不想去嗎?

雪倫：當然想啊，但是今天我想去白宮。我們應該先去那里，因為它是這里最有名的歷史建筑。

史都爾：我不這么認為，美國國會大廈才是最有名的。不過沒關系，如果你想去白宮，那就去吧。我只是怕會很無聊。

雪倫：無聊?怎么會呢?我覺得很有趣啊。

史都爾：白宮是總統和他的家人住的地方。他們很多地方不會讓人參觀的，或許只能參觀幾間展覽室而已。

雪倫：不是這樣。白宮很大，有很多歷史文物。導游人員會帶我們參觀各個展覽室，旅游指南上有說到。

史都爾：如果是這樣，那么保安工作要做得非常好才行。因為隨便讓人在白宮走動是很奇怪的。

雪倫：我相信保安工作一定很嚴謹，可能像機場那樣必須通過偵測器。

史都爾：那么我就不能帶槍啰!

雪倫：別老是開這種玩笑，你根本沒有槍。

史都爾：我的確沒有。

雪倫：你不應該說這種話，會被抓去的。

史都爾：什么?會有人因為我開玩笑就逮捕我?會有人在這餐桌上就將我逮捕嗎?

雪倫：不是，不過如果你在白宮說那樣的話，他們就會當真。有時候你玩笑開得太過火了。

史都爾：我會小心的，別擔心，我并不想被聯邦調查局的人逮捕。不過參觀白宮要多久?

雪倫：我不確定，我想大概一小時。

史都爾：好的，我們吃完早餐就搭出租車去。

雪倫：我先看看旅游指南。很可能早上不開放參觀。

史都爾：那倒是。你還要咖啡嗎?

雪倫：不了，這樣就夠了。
