Dialogue 1

Mark: Jingjing, I'm glad you suggested coming to the Great Wall.
马克：京晶，很开心你建议我们来登长城。
Jingjing: Yeah, we sure picked a nice day for it.
京晶：是啊，我们确实挑了个好天儿来爬。
Mark: Let's go see about tickets.
马克：我们去看看门票吧。
Jingjing: Would you like to practice your Chinese?
京晶：你想来练习一下中文吗？
Mark: Sure. Let me talk to them.
马克：当然。让我来跟他们说。
(Mark comes back with information about the tickets.)
马克了解到票的信息后回来了
Mark: Well, there are three ways up: a chairlift, a gondola, or a hike.
马克：嗯，有三条路上去：登山吊椅，缆车，或者徒步爬上去。
Jingjing: What about the way down?
京晶：那下来呢？
Mark: There's also a toboggan.
马克：也有雪橇啊 。
Jingjing: That sounds like fun. We should definitely do that.
京晶：这个听上去还挺好玩的。我们一定要玩一次。
Mark: OK. Then the best way might be to hike up to the wall, and take the toboggan down.
马克：好的。那最好的方法可能就是徒步爬上去（长城），然后坐雪橇下来。
Jingjing: Then we just pay the entrance fee and whatever it costs for the toboggan, right?
京晶：那我们就只付门票钱，然后再看雪橇怎么花费，对吗？
Mark: Exactly. But it's not much more for the chairlift. It's run by the same company.
马克：对。但是也不会比登山吊椅贵多少，是同一家公司来负责经营的。
Jingjing: Yeah, but I'm eager to start hiking. Plus, we can make a loop of it.
京晶：但是我迫不及待想要徒步了。另外，我们可以走一个环形。
Mark: That sounds good. There's a shuttle bus that will take us to the entrance.
马克：不错。这儿有摆渡车带我们去入口处。
Jingjing: You mean we still have to take another bus?
京晶：你的意思是，我们还需要再坐一辆车过去？
Mark: It's just a short ride. We'll be hiking in a few minutes.
马克：只是很短的一段路。几分钟后我们就可以开始徒步了。

Jingjing and Mark have hiked up to the wall.
京晶和马克一路向城墙徒步而行
Jingjing: Wow, what a view!

Mark: You're telling me. Want to take a rest for a while?

马克：这就是我们来这儿的原因。
Jingjing: Which way is the toboggan?
