A：Here we are, Mr. Harris. This is Hotel Cleopatra.

B：那是相當(dāng)舒適的嘍。
A：We're going through the Suez Canal now, Mr. Harris.
B：Hmm... it doesn't look very wide. How wide is it?
A：About 60 meters..., and it's 162 kilometers long.
B：Really? This is a big ship. How deep is the Canal?
A：The average depth is about 10 meters..., but they're going to make it deeper.
B：That will be a hard job, I'm sure.
A：Yes, it will. Well, Mr. Harris, are you coming on the excursion to Cairo to day?

B：是嗎?我們坐的可是條大船，運(yùn)河有多深呢?
A：平均深度為10米......不過人們打算把它再加深些。
B：那可夠難的。

B：哦，是的!開羅離這里有多遠(yuǎn)?
A：大約150千米。

A：Wow, great! I went there two years ago. It's one of the most interesting places I've ever seen.
B：I was told that those tombs are actually used to keep the kings corpse.
A：You're right. They are not only used to keep them safe after their death, but also to hold their treasures. As a matter of fact, the huge stone pyramids were built over those tombs.
B：How many of them are there?
A：They say there are over eighty pyramids in Egypt.
B：Where are those pyramids located?
A：They are all on the west bank of the Nile River.
B：Which is the most famous one?

A：你假期有什么安排嗎?
B：還沒完全定下來，但我決定要花幾天時(shí)間去看埃及的大金字塔。
A：哇，太好了!我兩年前去過那兒。那是我看過的最有意思的地方之一。
B：我聽說那些建筑都是用來保存國王尸體的。
A：你說得對。金字塔不僅是為了保護(hù)他們死后的安全，也是為了保存他們的財(cái)寶。實(shí)際上，那些大石頭砌成的金字塔是建在那些國王墳?zāi)股系摹?/p>

A：據(jù)說埃及有80多個(gè)。

B：There are many famous resorts in Egypt. You can have a good time here.
A：But I'm going to stay here only for two days.
B：I'm afraid two days isn't enough for you to see all the places of interest.
A：What shall I do then?
B：If I were you, the pyramid would be my first choice. It's so magnificent.
A：It's really worth seeing. By the way, I'd like to buy some souvenirs.
B：You needn't worry about it. There are many stores at the scenic spots. I'm sure you can get what you want.
A：OK. I know what to do now. Thank you.
A：你好，這是我第一次來埃及。你看我在這兒游覽什么地方好?
B：埃及有很多有名的景點(diǎn)。你可以在這好好玩。
A：但是我只打算在這里待兩天。
B：恐怕兩天的時(shí)間不夠游覽所有的名勝古跡。
A：那我怎么辦呢?
B：如果我是你，金字塔是我第一個(gè)要觀光的古跡。太壯觀了。
A：這確實(shí)值得一看。另外，我想買些紀(jì)念品。
B：你不必?fù)?dān)心，風(fēng)景區(qū)有很多商店。我保證你能買到需要的紀(jì)念品。
A：好的?，F(xiàn)在我知道要做什么了。謝謝。
A：It's such a comfortable hotel with a magnificent view of the sea.
