Melanie: Where do you want to visit? Can we schedule at least 3 days on the beach? I can already imagine myself dozing off in the sun and coming back with beautiful tanning.

你想参观哪些地方？我们能至少安排在海滩上待3天吗？我已经可以想象自己在阳光下打盹儿，然后带着一身漂亮的小麦色皮肤回家。

Coco: I guarantee you that mom. That's the whole point of us going to Miami. The rest can be any fun activities that kids would love. Maybe we should talk to them.

我向你保证妈妈。（去海滩）就是我们去迈阿密的最主要原因。其他行程可以是孩子们会喜欢的有趣的活动。也许我们该问问他们。

Melanie: I told Sara yesterday when I picked her up from school and she was very excited about the trip. She said her friend couldn't shut up about this alligator boat tour he went on when he was in Miami, so maybe we should book that tour as well?

昨天我去接Sara放学时我告诉她了，她特别兴奋。她说她的朋友一直在讲他在迈阿密时坐的鳄鱼观光船。也许我们也应该订这个船？

Coco: An alligator boat tour? That sounds fun! So you sit on a boat and watch alligators in the water? Will they not come after you?

鳄鱼观光船？听起来很有意思。所以你坐在船上看水里的鳄鱼？他们不会追着你要吃你吗？

Melanie: Please Coco. They are just chilling in the sun and have plenty of food in the national park. You probably don't taste as good as their usual diet.

什么啊Coco。人家只是在阳光里自在地待着，而且国家公园里有充足的食物来源。你估计没有他们平时的食物好吃。

Coco: Stop teasing me mom. I will look it up later today. Anything else that you want or the kids mentioned?

别逗我玩儿了妈妈。我今天晚些时候查一下。还有其他你想要的或者孩子们提到了的活动吗？

Melanie: I saw this Facebook post about hot springs in Florida and it seems very interesting. I have no idea what it is, but I read there are minerals in the hot springs that are apparently very good for your body. Does that sound interesting to you?

我在脸书上看到一个关于佛罗里达州温泉的帖子很有意思。我完全没概念这是什么东西，不过我读到说这种温泉里有对身体很好的矿物质。你感兴趣吗？

Coco: Mom where did you find all these fun spots?

妈你都是在哪儿找的这些有趣的地方？
