Where are you going？
I haven t made up my mind yet.Do you want to spend the vacation in the mountains or at the seashore？你准备去哪儿？
我还没决定呢。你打算去山里玩还是海滨玩。
At the seashore.I think.
What about Australia？ There is a long coast along the country.我想去海滨。
澳大利亚怎么样？那里的海岸线很长。
It s said that Sydney Opera House is world famous.Every year many people make a tour there.It s very beautiful city.
Do we go there，OK？ After staying there for a couple of days we can go to Sydney by air.据说悉尼歌剧院世界有名。每年有很多人去那儿旅游。那是一个非常漂亮的城市。

No，you can t if you want to take a good look at them instead of just having a quick glance.啊，我等不及要去了，但是我只有一天的时间，你想我能在一天里游览全部的地方吗？
不能，如果你想好好游览而不是走马看花的话。
That s too bad.But I still can choose a few of them.Then what s the best way to do my sightseeing？
In that case I suggest you call a cab.It would save you a lot of time.But if I had time，I would take a tour bus.太可惜了。但我还是可以选一些地方看，那我最好怎么游览呢？
这样的话，我建议你叫计程车，那可以省很多时间。但是如果我有时间，我会搭游览车。

A：Bob，you should have joined our outing yesterday.
B：I felt sorry about that.Did you have fun？
A：Sure.Although it was drizzling，it didn t spoil our fun.
B：What did you do，then？
A：We hiked to the top of the mountain and had a barbecue there.
B：I wish I had joined you.
A：鲍勃，昨天你应该跟我们去郊游。
B：非常遗憾我没去。你们玩得开心吗？
A：当然。虽然天下了点毛毛雨，但并没有影响我们的玩兴。
B：那么你们玩什么了？
A：我们步行到山顶，还在那儿烧烤。
B：我要是能跟你们去就好了。
A：Hi，Sam.Haven t seen you for ages.Where have you been these days？
B：I went to travel along the west coast of the U.S.
A：Wonderful！ How did you like your travel？
B：It was marvelous.I really had a very pleasant time there.
A：Tell me something about L.A.
B：I liked it better than I thought I would.It s very clean and spacious.Trees are planted on either side of the streets.But the bus service there is very bad.Besides，they don t have a subway，so it s not so convenient to get around.
A：And what did you see？
B：Oh，the unusual things.We took a drive around the Hollywood and looked at the stars homes.Then we went to Universal Studios and Disneyland.
A：You are so lucky.What do you think of Disneyland？
B：It was great！ We really enjoyed it.We took all the rides，some of them twice.I felt just like a kid again.
A：Was the weather good there？
B：Rather.Nice and warm in L.A，but cool and comfortable in San Francisco.
A：Cool in San Francisco？ That sounds surprising.
B：I had such a feeling too.We didn t take any sweater or anything else.The guide said it s always like that in August.Anyway，I still liked the city very much.I think it may be the most beautiful city in the U.S.—all those hills，the bay with waves，and those charming old Victorian houses.
A：So it seems that you liked it better than L.A.
B：Yes，I think so.You will like it when you see Golden Gate Park and Fishermen s Wharf.
A：I really envy you.I wish I could have a chance to visit the U.S.A.
A：你好，山姆，好久不见，这些日子去哪儿了？
B：我到美国的西海岸去旅游了。
A：太棒了。旅游这么样？
B：简直妙不可言。玩得太痛快了。
A：那你给我说说洛杉矶吧。
B：洛杉矶比我预想的要好，又干净又宽敞，街道两边绿树成荫。不过公共汽车服务比较糟糕，而且又没有地铁，游览真是不方便。
A：那么你看了些什么呢？
B：那就非同寻常。我们乘车游览了好莱坞，参观了影坛明星的家。然后又去了环球电影制片厂和迪斯尼乐园。
A：你真好运。迪斯尼这么样？
B：好极了！我们玩得真是痛快。该坐的都坐了，有的还坐了两次。我仿
佛觉得又回到了我的童年时光。
A：那里的天气好吗？
B：相当好。洛杉矶晴朗而温暖，但旧金山凉爽而舒适。
A：旧金山凉爽？让人有点感到意外。
B：我也是。我们连毛衣什么的都没有带。导游说这是8月的天气就是这样的。不过，我还是挺喜欢这座城市。在我的眼中，旧金山是金国最美的城市——看那些连绵不绝的小山、惊涛拍岸的海湾、魅力无穷的维多利亚式老房子。
A：很明显，比起洛杉矶，你更钟情于旧金山。
B：没错。看一看金门公园和渔人码头你就会喜欢这座城市。
A：真是羡慕你。要是有那么一个机会到美国一游就好了。

The Sin of LyingA minister told his congregation：“Next week I plan to preach about the sin of lying.To help you understand my sermon，I want you all to read Mark 17.”The following Sunday，as he prepared to deliver his sermon，the minister asked for a show of hands.He wanted to know how many had read Mark 17.Every hand went up.The minister smiled and said：“Mark has only sixteen chapters.I will now proceed with my sermon on the sin of lying.”
撒谎之罪一个牧师对他的教徒们说：“下个礼拜我打算讲一讲撒谎之罪。为了帮助大家理解，我想请大家先看看马可福音第17章。”到了第二个礼拜天，牧师在开始讲道前请大家举手，想看看到底有多少人读了马可福音第17章。结果每个人都举了手，牧师笑了笑，说道：“马可福音总共只有16章，现在我就开始讲撒谎之罪。”
