Cruising

開車兜風(fēng)

Kathy and Evan are finally on the road.

凱西和艾凡終于上路。

K:Oh, it's so lovely here! Even in the city the streets are so clean and the houses so tidy. There are small parks everywhere!

凱西：哦，這里景色真是美麗!即使在市內(nèi)，街道很干凈，房屋也很整齊。小公園處處可見!

E:It's a lot different from New York; that's for sure!

艾凡：它與紐約大不相同，這點是很肯定的!

K:So, where are we going first?

凱西：那么，我們要先去哪兒?

E:I thought you knew.

艾凡：我還以為你知道。

K:No, you didn't mentio n anything. I thought maybe we'd visit your relatives first.

凱西：我哪知道，你什么都沒提。我以為我們也許會先去拜訪你的親戚。

E:No, we're going to see them next week. We have to find a hostel and get settled in first. I picked up a list of hostels at the information desk at the airport. We're on the southwest side of Amsterdam, so we should look for one near here.

艾凡：不是，我們下星期才去看他們。我們得先找到一家青年旅社安頓好。我在機場的服務(wù)臺拿了一張青年旅社的名單?，F(xiàn)在我們在阿姆斯特丹的西南方，所以我們應(yīng)該在這附近找一家。

K:According to this list, there are a couple on Nassau Quay.

凱西：根據(jù)這張名單，在拿索碼頭那里有兩、三家。

E:Oh, good! That's on this side of town according to my map. And since there's a Nassau county on Long Island, we won't feel so far from home.

艾凡：哦，太好了!照我的地圖看來，拿索碼頭就在這一區(qū)。而且因為(紐約)長島有拿索郡，我們就不會有背井離鄉(xiāng)的感覺。

K:I just hope they have some vacancies.

凱西：我只希望他們有空房間。

E:I'm sure they will. Sit back and enjoy the cruise!

艾凡：我確信會有的。坐好享受兜風(fēng)之樂吧!
