原文及翻譯
In North America, July and August are holiday months. Most schools and colleges are not in session, then families look for activities to keep the children amused. Although not all workers get a full two months of holidays, most people take a holiday in the summer. The summer begins with a national holiday; in Canada, July 1st is Canada Day, and in the USA, July 4th is Independence Day.
在北美，七月和八月是假期。大多數(shù)學(xué)校和大學(xué)沒有開課，然后家庭會尋找活動讓孩子們開心。雖然不是所有的工人都有整整兩個月的假期，但大多數(shù)人都會在夏天休假。夏天以國慶節(jié)開始；在加拿大，7月1日是加拿大國慶日，在美國，7月4日是獨立日。
A lot of families are soon on the road, some travel to cottages by the lake, some go sightseeing or camping. In Canada, especially, the summers are short, so people try to make the most of them. In much of Canada and parts of the northern USA are woodlands dotted with lakes. These regions of rocks, rivers, pine trees, and wild animals are not usually suitable for farming, however, they are ideal places to spend a summer holiday.
很多家庭很快就上路了，有的去湖邊小屋，有的去觀光或露營。尤其是在加拿大，夏天很短，所以人們盡量充分利用它們。在加拿大大部分地區(qū)和美國北部部分地區(qū)，森林里點綴著湖泊。這些有巖石、河流、松樹和野生動物的地區(qū)通常不適合耕種，但它們是度過暑假的理想場所。
They are far from the cities, the woods are quiet and peaceful. People fish, go boating or swimming, have BBQs outside, or play outdoor sports. Some people spend their whole summer at the cottage, others go for a week or two. City people who don't have a cottage like to go to parks and swimming pools in the city. If they are near a lake or ocean, they may go there for the day.
它們遠(yuǎn)離城市，森林安靜祥和。人們釣魚、劃船或游泳、在戶外燒烤或進(jìn)行戶外運動。有些人整個夏天都在小屋里度過，有些人則只去一兩個星期。沒有小屋的城市人喜歡去城里的公園和游泳池。如果他們靠近湖泊或海洋，他們可能會去那里玩一天。
Many museums, libraries, and art galleries have programs for children in the summer. Swimming is probably the favorite summer sport. It feels wonderful on a very hot day to jump into the cool water. Swimming is also excellent exercise. Besides swimming, baseball and football are also popular in the summer. Spending an afternoon or evening in a baseball game is a favorite summer pastime.
許多博物館、圖書館和藝術(shù)畫廊在夏天都有兒童節(jié)目。游泳可能是最受歡迎的夏季運動。在炎熱的天氣里跳進(jìn)涼爽的水中感覺很棒。游泳也是很好的運動。除了游泳，棒球和足球在夏天也很受歡迎。在下午或晚上看一場棒球比賽是最受歡迎的夏季消遣方式。
