中村：玛丽，周末去农村的旅行怎么样？
Zhōngcūn: Mǎlì, zhōumò qù nóngcūn de lǚxíng zěnmeyàng?
Nakamura: Mary, how was the weekend trip to the countryside?

玛丽：很不错。上午我们先参观了一所敬老院，然后参观了一所幼儿园，我们和孩子们一起唱歌、跳舞、做游戏，非常有意思。
Mǎlì: Hěn búcuò. Shàngwǔ wǒmen xiān cānguān le yì suǒ jìnglǎoyuàn, ránhòu cānguān le yì suǒ yòu’éryuán, wǒmen hé háizimen yìqǐ chàng gē, tiào wǔ, zuò yóuxì, fēicháng yǒu yìsi.
Mary: It was very nice. In the morning, we first visited a nursing home, then visited a kindergarten. We sang, danced, and played games with the children. It was very interesting.

中村：去农民家了吗？
Zhōngcūn: Qù nóngmín jiā le ma?
Nakamura: Did you go to a farmer’s home?

玛丽：去了，我们还在农民家吃饭了呢。
Mǎlì: Qù le, wǒmen hái zài nóngmín jiā chī fàn le ne.
Mary: Yes, we did. We even ate at a farmer’s home.

中村：后来去别的地方了吗？
Zhōngcūn: Hòulái qù bié de dìfang le ma?
Nakamura: Did you go anywhere else afterward?

玛丽：下午我们去爬了附近的一座山，山上有古老的长城，非常雄伟。
Mǎlì: Xiàwǔ wǒmen qù pá le fùjìn de yí zuò shān, shān shàng yǒu gǔlǎo de Chángchéng, fēicháng xióngwěi.
Mary: In the afternoon, we climbed a nearby mountain. There was an ancient section of the Great Wall on the mountain, and it was very magnificent.

中村：是什么山？
Zhōngcūn: Shì shénme shān?
Nakamura: What mountain was it?

玛丽：想不起山的名字来了，听说是那个地区最高的山，有几百米高吧。
Mǎlì: Xiǎng bu qǐ shān de míngzi lái le, tīngshuō shì nà ge dìqū zuì gāo de shān, yǒu jǐ bǎi mǐ gāo ba.
Mary: I can’t remember the name of the mountain. I heard it’s the highest mountain in that area, probably several hundred meters high.

中村：那么高，你爬得上去吗？
Zhōngcūn: Nàme gāo, nǐ pá de shàngqù ma?
Nakamura: That high? Were you able to climb up?

玛丽：在朋友们的鼓励下，我好不容易才爬了上去。从山上往远处一看，美极了：蓝蓝的天，白白的云，红红的花，绿绿的草，小鸟在天上飞来飞去……真像一幅风景画儿。
Mǎlì: Zài péngyoumen de gǔlì xià, wǒ hǎo bù róngyì cái pá le shàngqù. Cóng shān shàng wǎng yuǎnchù yí kàn, měi jí le: lánlán de tiān, báibái de yún, hónghóng de huā, lǜlǜ de cǎo, xiǎoniǎo zài tiān shàng fēi lái fēi qù…… zhēn xiàng yì fú fēngjǐng huàr.
Mary: With my friends’ encouragement, I finally managed to climb up after great effort. Looking into the distance from the mountain, it was extremely beautiful: the blue sky, white clouds, red flowers, green grass, and little birds flying back and forth in the sky… It really looked like a landscape painting.

中村：听你这么一说，我真后悔没有去。
Zhōngcūn: Tīng nǐ zhème yì shuō, wǒ zhēn hòuhuǐ méiyǒu qù.
Nakamura: Hearing you describe it like that, I really regret not going.

玛丽：没关系，我照了很多相片，可以送给你。
Mǎlì: Méi guānxi, wǒ zhào le hěn duō xiàngpiàn, kěyǐ sòng gěi nǐ.
Mary: It’s okay. I took a lot of photos, and I can give some to you.
