第一段
1 .TC EMPLOYEE: Hi. Can I help you?
TC 员工:你好,请问有什么可以帮到您?
2 .VISITOR: I'd like to find out if you have any excursions suitable for families.
参观者:我想看看有没有适合一家人一起的短途旅游项目。
3 .C EMPLOYEE: Sure. How about taking your family for a cruise? We have a steamship that takes passengers out several times a day - it's over 100 years old.
TC 员工:当然有了,和您的家人一起乘船旅行怎么样?我们有一艘汽船,一天带好几拨游客。这艘船已经100多岁了。
4 .VISITOR: That sounds interesting. How long is the trip?
参观者:听起来挺有意思的,一趟航程多久啊?
5 .TC EMPLOYEE: About an hour and a half. And don't forget to take pictures of the mountains. They're all around you when you're on the boat and they look fantastic.
TC员工:大概一个半小时。到时候别忘了拍那些山峦的照片啊。在船上的时候群山围绕,可壮观了。
6 .VISITOR: OK. And I assume there's a cafe or something on board?
参观者:好的,船上应该有咖啡厅之类的地方吧?
7 .TC EMPLOYEE: Sure. How old are your children?
TC员工:当然。请问您的孩子们多大了?
8 .VISITOR: Er, my daughter's fifteen and my son's seven.
参观者:我女儿15岁,儿子7岁。
9 .TC EMPLOYEE: Right. Well there are various things you can do once you've crossed the lake, to make a day of it. One thing that's very popular is a visit to the Country Farm.
TC员工:嗯,那到了湖对岸有很多活动您可以选择,这样就能玩一天了。有个很流行的项目是参观乡间农场。
10 .You're met off the boat by the farmer and he'll take you to the holding pens, where the sheep are kept. Children love feeding them!
下了船由农场的农民带你们去羊圈。孩子们可喜欢喂羊了!
11 .VISITOR: My son would love that. He really likes animals.
参观者: 我的儿子会喜欢这个的,他很喜欢动物。
12 .TC EMPLOYEE: Well, there's also a 40-minute trek round the farm on a horse, if he wants.
TC员工:如果他想的话,还可以骑着马绕农场走40分钟。
13 .VISITOR: Do you think he'd manage it? He hasn't done that before.
参观者: 你觉得他能行吗?他可从来没骑过马。
14 .TC EMPLOYEE: Sure. It's suitable for complete beginners.
TC员工: 当然可以,这个项目也适合新手。
15 .VISITOR: Ah, good.
参观者: 嗯,好的。
16 .TC EMPLOYEE: And again, visitors are welcome to explore the farm on their own, as long as they take care to close gates and so on.
TC员工:此外,农场也欢迎游客们自己在农场里转悠,只要他们关好门、多注意就行。
17 .There are some very beautiful gardens along the side of the lake which also belong to the farm - they'll be just at their best now. You could easily spend an hour or two there.
沿湖还有一些非常漂亮的花园,也是属于农场的。现在正是它们最美的时候。您轻轻松松就能在里面待上一两个小时。
18 .VISITOR: OK. Well that all sounds good. And can we get lunch there?
参观者: 听起来不错,我们能在那吃午饭吗?
19 .TC EMPLOYEE: You can, and it's very good, though it's not included in the basic cost. You pay when you get there.
TC员工:可以的,而且午餐非常好,不过餐费不包括在基本费用之内。吃午饭得另付。
20 .VISITOR: Right.
参观者: 好的
第二段
1 .VISITOR: So is there anything else to do over on that side of the lake?
参观者: 到了对岸还有什么别的事可以做吗?
2 .TC EMPLOYEE: Well, what you can do is take a bike over on the ship and then go on a cycling trip. There's a trail there called the Back Road -- you could easily spend three or four hours exploring it, and the scenery's wonderful.
TC员工: 您还可以带上自行车坐船过去,然后在对岸骑行。那边有条小径,叫Back Road,骑行三四个小时肯定没问题,那里风景特别好。
3 .They'll give you a map when you get your ticket for the cruise - there's no extra charge.
买船票的时候,他们会给你一张地图,地图是免费的。
4 .VISITOR: What's the trail like in terms of difficulty?
参观者: 那条路在骑行难度方面怎么样?
5 .TC EMPLOYEE: Quite challenging in places. It wouldn't be suitable for your seven-year-old. It needs someone who's got a bit more experience.
TC员工: 有的地方挺难骑的,不适合您7岁的儿子。在那骑车需要点经验才行。
6 .VISITOR: Hmm. Well, my daughter loves cycling and so do I, so maybe the two of us could go, and my wife and son could stay on the farm.
参观者:嗯,我女儿喜欢骑自行车,我也是,我们两个去骑车,我的妻子和儿子可以留在农场。
7 .That might work out quite well. But we don't have bikes here... is there somewhere we could rent them?
这样安排应该挺好。但是我们没有自行车,有什么地方可以租车吗?
8 .TC EMPLOYEE: Yes, there's a place here in the city. It's called Ratchesons.
TC员工:嗯,城里有个叫Ratchesons的地方可以租。
9 .VISITOR: I'll just make a note of that - er, how do you spell it?
参观者: 我记一下,那个地名怎么拼?
10 .TC EMPLOYEE: R-A-T-C-H-E-S-O-N-S. It's just by the cruise ship terminal.
TC员工: R-A-T-C-H-E-S-O-N-S. 就在游船终点站附近。
11 .VISITOR: OK.
参观者: 好的。
12 .TC EMPLOYEE: You'd also need to pick up a repair kit for the bike from there to take along with you, and you'd need to take along a snack and some water - it'd be best to get those in the city.
TC员工: 你们还得在那带上一个自行车修理包, 还需要带点零食和水。 到了城里再买是最好的。
13 .VISITOR: Fine. That shouldn't be a problem. And I assume I can rent a helmet from the bike place?
参观者: 好的,没问题。我想租车的地方能租到头盔吧?
14 .TC EMPLOYEE: Sure, you should definitely get that. It's a great ride, but you want to be well prepared because it's very remote - you won't see any shops round there, or anywhere to stay, so you need to get back in time for the last boat.
TC员工:当然,您一定能租到的。那条骑行的路很棒,但你们得做好准备,因为那条路很偏远。那附近没有商店,也没有可以停留的地方,所以你们得及时回来赶上最后一班船。
15 .VISITOR: Yeah. So what sort of prices are we looking at here?
参观者: 好的,那这趟旅程得花多少钱呢?
16 .TC EMPLOYEE: Let's see, that'd be one adult and one child for the cruise with farm tour, that's $117, and an adult and a child for the cruise only so that's $214 dollars altogether.
TC员工:我来看看,一个大人、一个小孩乘船游加上农场游是117美元,加上一个大人、一个小孩乘船游,一共是214美元。
17 .Oh, wait a minute, how old did you say your daughter was?
啊,等一下,您的女儿多大来着?
18 .VISITOR: Fifteen.
参观者: 15岁。
19 .TC EMPLOYEE: Then I'm afraid it's $267 because she has to pay the adult fare, which is $75 instead of the child fare which is $22 - sorry about that.
TC员工:那恐怕就得267美元了,因为她得买75美元的成人票,而不是22美元的儿童票,不好意思。
20 .VISITOR: That's OK. Er, so how do...
参观者: 没关系,所以怎么...
