闲暇时间，很多人都喜欢出国旅游，所以，我们应该掌握一些基本的旅游英语。

STUART: I'm glad I brought my jacket on this trip.

史都尔：还好这趟行程我有带夹克来。

SHARON: Yes, I didn't know Washington, DC got so cold in winter.

雪伦：是啊，我不知道华盛顿特区的冬天这么冷。

STUART: What would you like to do today?

史都尔：今天想做什么？

SHARON: I really think we should take a tour of the White House.

雪伦：我真的觉得应该去参观白宫。

STUART: I thought we could go to some of the museums.

史都尔：我觉得可以去参观博物馆。

Don't you want to see the museums?

你不想去吗？

SHARON: Of course. But today I feel like seeing the White House.

雪伦：当然想啊，但是今天我想去白宫。

We should see it first, because it's the most famous historical building here.

我们应该先去那里，因为它是这里最有名的历史建筑。

STUART: I don't agree. I think the Capitol building is the most famous.

史都尔：我不这么认为，美国国会大厦才是最有名的。

But okay. If you want to see the White House, we'll go see it.

不过没关系，如果你想去白宫，那就去吧。

I'm just afraid it will be boring.

我只是怕会很无聊。

SHARON: Boring? How can it be boring? It sounds very interesting to me.

雪伦：无聊？怎么会呢？我觉得很有趣啊。

STUART: But it's the White House. The president and his family live there.

史都尔：白宫是总统和他的家人住的地方。

They won't let us see most of it. Probably we can only see a couple of rooms.他们很多地方不会让人参观的，或许只能参观几间展览室而已。

SHARON: No, that's not true.

雪伦：不是这样。

The White House is very big. And there are a lot of historical exhibits there.

白宫很大，有很多历史文物。

The tour will take us through many different rooms. I read about it in the guide.

导游人员会带我们参观各个展览室，旅游指南上有说到。

STUART: Hmm. If that's true, then the security there must be very good.

史都尔：如果是这样，那么保安工作要做得非常好才行。

Because it's strange to think they will let people walk around in the White House.

因为随便让人在白宫走动是很奇怪的。

SHARON: I'm sure the security is very tight.

雪伦：我相信保安工作一定很严谨，

Probably they will make us walk through metal detectors like at the airport.

可能像机场那样必须通过侦测器。

STUART: So I can't take my gun then.

史都尔：那么我就不能带枪啰！

SHARON: Don't always joke like that! You don't have a gun.

雪伦：别老是开这种玩笑，你根本没有枪。
