地道美語聽力播客887：參觀歷史古跡

瑪麗：我們今天就先到這吧

Will: I think we still have time to visit one more historic site and this one is amazing. They’ve done a great job with preservation and restoration.

威爾：我看咱們還有時(shí)間再看一處歷史古跡，這個(gè)很令人稱奇的。工作人員做了很多的保護(hù)和修繕工作。

Mary: It’s not another old castle, is it?

瑪麗：不會(huì)再是一個(gè)舊城堡了吧?

Will: It’s not any old castle. This one dates back to the 1300s. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in time for the last guided tour with a docent who’s knowledgeable. And I hope we have time to visit the archives, too.

威爾：這跟其他舊城堡不一樣。這座城堡可追溯到14世紀(jì)。如果我們幸運(yùn)的話，我們還能趕上最后一撥既有涵養(yǎng)又有學(xué)識(shí)的導(dǎo)游。我還希望我們有時(shí)間參觀一下檔案室。

Mary: Oh no, not the archives.

瑪麗：不，不去檔案室。

Will: I wonder if they’re doing reenactments to commemorate any major historical events during our time here?

威爾：我在想在我們參觀的這段時(shí)間他們有沒有重新制定紀(jì)念一項(xiàng)重要的歷史事件?

Mary: If we visit this castle today, we’re not coming back. There is a lot to see in this city other than old castles and monuments.

瑪麗：今天如果我們參觀了這個(gè)城堡，我們就不能回去了。這個(gè)城市中除了舊城堡和紀(jì)念碑還有別的好多參觀的地方。

Will: Like what?

威爾：比如?

Mary: Like art museums and stores. It would also be nice to relax a little while on vacation.

瑪麗：比如博物館和商店啊。這也將會(huì)是度假休息的好去處。

Will: But what’s art and shopping when you’re in one of the most ancient cities in the world? And there’s no time to relax. We only have four days here. We have to make the most of it. Hey, where are you going?

威爾：但是當(dāng)你處身于世界上最古老的城市之一時(shí)，有什么藝術(shù)中心和商店可去呢，況且沒有時(shí)間休息。我們在這里只停留四天。我們得好好利用這四天。嘿，你去哪?

Mary: I think it’s time to split up. You go see your castle and I’ll explore on my own.

瑪麗：我覺得我們得分頭行動(dòng)了。你去你的城堡，我去尋找自己的樂趣。

Will: But you won’t get the full benefits of being in one of the most ancient cities in the world.

威爾：那樣你就不會(huì)得到身處世界最古老城市的價(jià)值了

Mary: I think I’ll survive.

瑪麗：我覺得我會(huì)的。
