2--It was wonderful. I went to Paris.
 
1--Paris? The "City of Light"?!
 
2--Yes, and it was so beautiful. No wonder it has attracted the admiration of the whole world.
 
1--What did you see? I  heard there're many  fabulous  cathedrals, palaces,statues and monuments.
 
2--I went to the famous Louvere museum on the first day. The rooms were full of paintings, sculptures, furniture, jewelry and antiquities from all over the world.
 
1--Did you see the Mona Lisa?
 
2--Yes,it was one of the most popular exhibits. There was a long line of people waiting to have a glimpse of it. Even I，for many years,had dreamed of seeing it in person,but when 1 actually saw it,I thought it was just so-so.
 
1--Maybe that was because the Louvere has so many other impressive works of art to compare it with. Where did you go on the second day?
 
2--I spent the whole day visiting the Palace of Versailles which is about a one-hour ride southwest of Paris. It was so outstanding and beautiful!
 
1--When was it built?
 
2--In  the  1700s  by  the  most  famous French king Louis XIV,the Sun King.

1--雷切尔，你看上去休息得不错!假期过得怎么样?
2--很好。我去了趟巴黎。
1--“不夜城”巴黎?!
2--是啊，那里特别美!难怪巴黎赢得了全世界的赞叹。
1--你都去哪里了?我听说那里有很多美轮美奂的教堂、宫殿、雕塑还有历史建筑。
2--第一天我去了著名的卢浮宫博物馆，各个展厅里全都摆满了绘画、雕塑、家具、珍宝还有来自世界各地的文物。
1--你看了《蒙娜丽莎》了吗?
2--是啊，那幅画是最受欢迎的展品之一。人们排成一条长队，就等着看它一眼，即使是。我多年来也一直梦想着能亲眼看到它，可是当我真正看到这幅画时，我觉得也就一般吧。
1--也许是因为卢浮宫里有太多其他精美的艺术品，和它们比起来，《蒙娜丽莎》也不算什么了。你第二天去哪里了?
2--第二天我一整天都在参观凡尔赛宫。凡尔赛宫在巴黎西南方向，坐车大概要一个小时。这座宫殿真的是美极了!
1--凡尔赛宫是什么时候建的?
2--18世纪，大名鼎鼎的法国皇帝路易十四，又称“太阳王”，修建了这座宫殿。
