来听今天的讲解:

A: this is how a holiday should be. Relaxing on the beach with a nice cool drink.
这就是度假的方式。在海滩上喝一杯清凉的饮料放松身心。
B: isn’t it wonderful here? The kinds are enjoying themselves in the swimming pool. I hope it’s safe.
这里不是很棒吗？这群人在游泳池里玩得很开心。我希望游泳池安全。
A: don’t worry about them. They’re very responsible. Besides, there are many people there and there’s lifeguard employed by the hotel. Waiter! Could I have another drink pleas? Thank you. So, what shall we do this evening?
别担心他们。他们很有责任心。此外，那里有很多人，还有酒店雇佣的救生员。服务员！我能再喝一杯吗？谢谢。那么，我们今晚该怎么办？
B: the kids said that they wanted to go to a party at the hotel. There’s a special one just for kids.
孩子们说他们想去酒店参加一个聚会。有一个专门为孩子们准备的聚会。
A: so, we could try that restaurant that was recommended in the guidebook. Then we could go to a club. We haven’t been to one for ages.
所以，我们可以去旅游指南上推荐的那家餐厅。然后我们可以去俱乐部。我们已经很久没去过了。
B: that’s a great idea. We can really enjoy ourselves without worrying about the kids.
这是个好主意。我们真的可以玩得很开心，不用担心孩子们。
A: now, how about going for a swim in the sea? We shouldn’t sunbathe all day.
现在，去海里游泳怎么样？我们不应该整天晒日光浴。
Intermediate
A: where do you think we should go on holiday this summer?
你认为今年夏天我们应该去哪里度假？
B: we, I’d like to go to Australia. I know it’s far to go, but I think it would be something different and special.
我们，我想去澳大利亚。我知道还有很长的路要走，但我认为那会是一件与众不同的事情。
A: I’d really like to go to the Garibbean. We can relax on the beached and enjoy the sunshine.
我真的很想去加勒比海。我们可以在海滩上放松，享受阳光。
B: there are beaches in Australia too, but I would prefer a more active holiday this year. We could visit ayers rock and the great barrier reef. It would be so exciting.
澳大利亚也有海滩，但我更希望今年有一个更活跃的假期。我们可以参观艾尔斯岩和大堡礁。这将是非常令人兴奋的。
A: but would it be relaxing? By summer. I’ll be quite tired from doing so much work. The last thing I need is to use more energy racing around Australia. I’d need another holiday to recover from the holiday!
但这会让人放松吗？到了夏天。我做这么多工作会很累的。我最不需要的就是在澳大利亚各地比赛时消耗更多的精力。我需要另一个假期来从假期中恢复过来！
B: oh, come on! A tour of Australia would be relaxing because you’d be doing something different and not working.
哦，来吧！去澳大利亚旅游会很放松，因为你会做一些不同的事情，而不是工作。
A: do you think so? I’m not so sure. Anyway, tell me your plans for an Australian holiday. How long do you think we should spend there?
你这么认为吗？我不太确定。不管怎样，告诉我你在澳大利亚度假的计划。你认为我们应该在那里呆多久？
B: I think we should go for two weeks. We could spend a week in the bush and a week at the great barrier reef-including a few day on the beach for tired office workers!
我想我们应该去两周。我们可以在丛林里呆一周，在大堡礁呆一周——包括在海滩上为疲惫的上班族呆几天！
A: that doesn’t sound too bad. I’d certainly like to go diving. That’s one reason I wanted to go to the Caribbean.
听起来还不错。我当然想去潜水。这也是我想去加勒比海的原因之一。
B: we could hire a car and travel around the interior of Australia for several days. If we hire a car, we can go where we like.
我们可以租一辆车，在澳大利亚内陆旅行几天。如果我们租一辆汽车，我们可以去我们喜欢的地方。
A: we’d have to plan our drive before we leave. Let’s get a good guidebook form the bookstore when we go shopping it town tomorrow.
我们得在出发前计划好我们的行程。明天我们去城里购物时，从书店买一本好的旅游指南。
B: it looks like I might have convinced you to go to Australia!
看起来我可能已经说服你去澳大利亚了！
