A：Hi, Anna. I haven’t seen you for ages. Where have you been?

安娜，你好。我很久没有见到你了。你去哪里了?

B：I’ve been away on holidays for sometime.

我度假离开了一段时间。

A：No wonder I haven’t seen you recently. Where did you spend your holidays?

难怪我最近都没有见到你。你去哪里度假了?

B：I went with my husband. Our first stop was Bangkok. We stayed there for 5 days. Then we flew to Hong Kong, stopover for 3 days. Our last stop was China. We visited the Great Wall.

我和我丈夫一起去的。第一站是曼谷。我们在那里呆了五天。然后我们飞到了香港，中途停留了三天。最后一站是中国。我们参观了长城。

A：You must have a wonderful time.

你一定玩得很开心。

B：Yes. We enjoyed ourselves very much. Have you traveled much, Luke?

是啊。我们都玩得很尽兴。卢克，你有没有去旅游?

A：No, my wife doesn’t like traveling. We haven’t been traveling for more than ten years. The first time we traveled together was in 1978 when we just got married. We spent our honeymoon in the Alps.

没有，我妻子不喜欢旅游。我们已经有十年多没有旅游过了。第一次是在1978年我们刚结婚时一起去旅游过。我们在阿尔卑斯山度过了我们的蜜月。

B：Oh, I see. Yeah. Some people like traveling, some don’t. My husband didn’t like traveling at first, either. He said what’s the use of traveling? A waste of money and a waste of time.At last I got him on the move. After all, he loved me. We went to Bali, Indonesia, one of the most beautiful places in the world. That trip left a very deep impression on him. Since then whenever we have holidays and money, we’d like to patronize the travel agency. Isn’t it a bit dull to shut yourself at one place all your life?

哦，我明白了。是啊。一些人喜欢旅游，一些人不喜欢。我的丈夫开始也不喜欢旅游。他说,旅游有什么好?浪费钱又浪费时间。最后我使他也行动起来。毕竟他是爱我的。我们去了印度尼西亚的巴里岛，世界上最漂亮的地方之一。那次旅行使他留下了深刻的印象。从那以后，每当我们有假日和钱，我们就喜欢惠顾旅行社。一生把自己关在一个地方不是有点乏味吗?
