PARKER:%20It%20is%20a%20rather%20long%20
ride into town from the airport. I try to look at everything along the road. It seems like a very busy country. with lots of new buildings going up everywhere and the streets busy with new cars and trucks. It grows dark . but the conversation is lively and full of good humour, I keep thinking about the stranger at the airport. trying to dismiss my worries as mere foolishness.
(从机场到北京城的路很长,我浏览沿路的风景,看了这个国家很繁荣到处是新建的高楼,街道上车流不息。天变黑了,但是我们的交谈是活跃和充满幽默。我还在想机场那个陌生人,试图打消我的担忧,希望只是个庸人自扰)
LI:Have you been skiing lately, Mr. Goodwin? I remember quite distinctly the day you took us up to Grouse Mountain for a day of skiing. Vancouver is such a beautiful city. It is clean and natural there. The oceans and the mountains and the land, all in such harmony.
(GOODWIN先生后来您一直去滑雪吗?我非常清楚的记得你带我们去格劳斯山滑雪的那天,温哥华是那么美丽的城市,非常清洁和自然,海洋,高山和陆地都是那么和谐。)
GOODWIN:Yes. we like it. I try to get to the slopes at least once a week.but lately, well... you know we've been very busy getting ready for our visit to you.
(是的,我们非常喜欢,我试图每周去一次滑
雪,但是后来,你知道,我们非常忙着准备访问你)
LI:I understand. What about you, Mr.Parker? I was very impressed by your skiing skill.
(我理解,PARKER先生, 你哪?你滑雪的技术给我留下很深的印象)
PARKER:I'm afraid I have been too busy to spend much time on the slopes. But I do remember your first tumble.(They laugh) You learned very quickly how to ski.
(我因为太忙了以至于没有太多时间去滑雪,但是我还记得您第一次摔跤呢,你学的非常快)
LI:I'm afraid I'll never make the Olympic team.
(我恐怕永远不可能加入奥运会了)
GOODWIN: We had such fun sailing,too.
(我们也去冲浪了)
LI:Yes. it was great fun. It was a wonderful time. wasn't it?
(是的,太有趣了,那真是一次美妙的时光,对吧)
PARKER:Our conversation is interrupted,at last, as we drive up before a large hotel. It is a very impressive and very modern building.
(我的交谈打断了,最后,我们来到大酒店前,这是一个非常现代的印象深刻的建筑)
GOODWIN: What a
beautiful place! it wasn't completed when I was last in Beijing.
(这地方真美,我上次来的时候它还没建好)
LI:Now, we won't get out. We know you are tired from your long journey, and we'll only get in the way by going to your rooms with you. Besides, The Great Wall Hotel staff knows you're coming and has made all the arrangements for you. We hope you'll take one day to relax. I'll call you day after tomorrow so that we can set up a schedule of appointments. Is that all right?
(那我们就不下车了,我们知道你们长途旅行很累,如果我们去你们的房间只能让你们麻烦。另外,长城饭店工作人员知道你们来,他们都安排好了,希望你们好好放松一天,后天我打电话给你,我们好商定会谈时间表,好吗?)
GOODWIN: That's fine, Thank you very much.
(好的,非常感谢)
LI:Good night. Then.
(晚安)
EVERYONE: Good night.
(晚安)
