旅游英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ) 華盛頓特區(qū)
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(lái)。
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(jué)得應(yīng)該去參觀白宮。
史都爾：我覺(jué)得可以去參觀博物館。你不想去嗎?
雪倫：當(dāng)然想啊，但是今天我想去白宮。我們應(yīng)該先去那里，因?yàn)樗沁@里最有名的歷史建筑。
史都爾：我不這么認(rèn)為，美國(guó)國(guó)會(huì)大廈才是最有名的。不過(guò)沒(méi)關(guān)系，如果你想去白宮，那就去吧。我只是怕會(huì)很無(wú)聊。
雪倫：無(wú)聊?怎么會(huì)呢?我覺(jué)得很有趣啊。
史都爾：白宮是總統(tǒng)和他的家人住的地方。他們很多地方不會(huì)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(dǎo)游人員會(huì)帶我們參觀各個(gè)展覽室，旅游指南上有說(shuō)到。
史都爾：如果是這樣，那么保安工作要做得非常好才行。因?yàn)殡S便讓人在白宮走動(dòng)是很奇怪的。
雪倫：我相信保安工作一定很嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)，可能像機(jī)場(chǎng)那樣必須通過(guò)偵測(cè)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(méi)有槍。
史都爾：我的確沒(méi)有。
雪倫：你不應(yīng)該說(shuō)這種話，會(huì)被抓去的。
史都爾：什么?會(huì)有人因?yàn)槲议_玩笑就逮捕我?會(huì)有人在這餐桌上就將我逮捕嗎?
雪倫：不是，不過(guò)如果你在白宮說(shuō)那樣的話，他們就會(huì)當(dāng)真。有時(shí)候你玩笑開得太過(guò)火了。
史都爾：我會(huì)小心的，別擔(dān)心，我并不想被聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局的人逮捕。不過(guò)參觀白宮要多久?
雪倫：我不確定，我想大概一小時(shí)。
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。
