每日对话围绕一家人在美国50个州的旅行见闻展开。请来跟随他们一起体验地方风情和历史。这个对话系列适于中级或中级以上英语水平的学生使用。

今天他们来到佛罗里达州(Florida),游览这里的迪士尼乐园(Walt Disney World)。


Sam: There are four theme parks and two water parks here! Maybe we should stay here for more than three days.

Gina: Three days will be plenty. Why don’t you figure out what you want to do today?

Claudine: Of course I want to go on as many water rides as possible. But I also want to learn to surf.

Paul: Okay, that sounds like a good plan. How about you, Sam?

Sam: I want to go on all of the roller coasters today. And I want to play some carnival games.

Gina: And I want to go on the space shuttle simulator.

Paul: Sounds like we’re going to have a very busy day!

让我们复习一些词语:

theme park :主题公园。这个迪斯尼乐园有四个主题公园: Epcot(未来世界), Magic Kingdom(魔幻王国),Animal Kingdom(动物王国),Hollywood Studios(好莱坞影城)。

water park :水上乐园,内有水梯、戏水或游泳等设施。

Figure out :想明白/弄清楚。在这里是指想出和定下游玩的目标。 “Why don’t you figure out what you want to do today?” 的意思相当于”Why don’t you think about and decide what you want to do today?”(你干嘛不想一想,决定你今天想玩什么?)。

Water rides :水上之旅,例如轮胎漂流或乘船探险

To surf :冲浪。A surfboard :冲浪人脚踩的冲浪板

roller coaster :过山车

carnival game :嘉年华游戏,即在游乐场、博览会或狂欢节上游人可以付费玩的考验技能的有奖游戏,例如把水射入小孔或把球投入篮筐等。

space shuttle :航天飞机

simulator :模拟器。在这里space shuttle simulator(航天飞机模拟器)是指让游人体验乘坐航天飞机感觉的装置。
