[00:06.76]I think the best summer vacation I've ever taken was when I went out East a few years ago. 
我觉得我过得最棒的暑假时几年前去东部的那次。
[00:15.73]Two of my friends and I went on a two-week road trip. 
我和我的两个朋友度过了一次为期两周的公路之旅。
[00:21.30]At the time, I was living in St. Paul, Minnesota, in the Midwest of the United States. 
当时，我住在美国中西部的明尼苏达的圣保罗。
[00:29.82]Anyway, we started off camping every night, but that got real old, real fast. 
不管怎样，我们刚开始旅行的时候每晚都露营，但是很快就太累了。
[00:39.13]So we started checking in to hotels after about the third day. We were headed for Washington, DC first. 
所以后来从差不多第三天开始我们住旅馆了。我们的第一站是华盛顿。
[00:49.98]Checking in to the hotel was always a bit of a hassle. 
住旅馆总有点分歧。
[00:54.89]I wanted to sleep in a double bed, my friends wanted to get a king to share. 
我想睡双人床，我的朋友想睡最大的床。
[01:03.30]Lodging is more expensive at a hotel than in a campground, but it is much, much more comfortable!
住宿比露营贵多了，但是也舒服多了。
[01:13.10]We went to the major tourist attractions in Washington, D.C. - the Capitol, Lincoln's Memorial, the White House. 
我们去了华盛顿的主要景点，包括国会山，林肯纪念堂，白宫。
[01:23.24]We then headed north, passing through Boston and headed towards Canada, to Quebec City. 
接着我们一路向北，穿过了波士顿，直奔加拿大，到了魁北克城。
[01:33.44]When we arrived at the Canadian border, we had to pass through customs and immigration. 

[01:40.24]Customs was easy. We had nothing to declare. Immigration was more of a pain . 
我们到加拿大边境的时候，没什么好申报的。移民就更不可能了。
[01:48.35]We were asked the standard questions. How long will you be staying in Canada? What is the nature of your visit? 
我们被问了一些程式化的问题。你们在加拿大待多久？旅行的目的是什么？
[01:57.60]Finally, we were permitted to enter, and we drove on to our destination.
最后我们被准许入境，我们开车朝目的地进发。
[02:04.86]Quebec City is beautiful! Unlike many cities, there are no tourist traps to sidetrack you. 
魁北克城太美了。没有其他城市旅行者的困境围绕你。
[02:14.55]We spent two days there, then drove on to Montreal. 
我们在那里待了两天，然后开车去了蒙特利尔。
[02:20.19]Of course, we had to pass through customs and immigration again when we re-entered the United States. 
当然我们进入美国的时候也过了海关，问了移民相关问题。
[02:28.26]Our bags were searched in customs, but other than that we got through fairly easily. 
在海关我们的包被搜了，除了这个，其他还是相当容易。
[02:36.24]A few days later, we were back in Minnesota--home sweet home.
几天后我们回到了明尼苏达，最好的家。
