Dennis: You said your hometown is in Gansu, isn't it?
丹尼斯：你说过你家在甘肃省，是吗？
Nick: Yes. Go there for travelling if you have time. I'll show you around.
尼克：是的，有时间去旅游吧，我给你当导游。
Dennis: What are the famous tourist sites, if I should go there one day?
丹尼斯：要是我去玩的话，有什么著名的旅游景点呢？
Nick: I would recommend the Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang. You must have heard of them. They are located on the ancient Silk Road. The place was once a hub of commerce and religion.
尼克：我推荐敦煌莫高窟，你肯定听说过吧。莫高窟坐落在古时的丝绸之路上，曾经是商业和宗教的中心。
Dennis: Yes, I have. Are they interesting, though? I thought they are just Buddha statues and religious frescos.
丹尼斯：听说过。但是有意思吗？我以为就是些佛像和宗教壁画之类的。
Nick: There are more than twelve thousand statues. The frescos are elaborately colored and deftly painted. The content includes Buddhist teachings, life stories of the Buddha, and historical events. I think you will marvel at what wonders faith can do, at least in art.
尼克：那里的雕像有12000多座，壁画颜色精美，线条流畅，描绘的内容包括佛教教义、佛祖生平以及历史事件。相信你会为信仰所创造出的奇迹而惊讶的，至少是在艺术中创造的奇迹。
Dennis: Wow, you seem to like them very much.
丹尼斯：哇，你好像对莫高窟特别有感情。
Nick: I went there several times. I think we should really cherish such treasure from the past.
尼克：我去过好几次，我认为我们应该珍惜这些遗留下来的瑰宝。
