實戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：Best Beach in Sri Lanka 斯里蘭卡最棒的海灘

Widuri: Now, can you tell me more about another famous place in Sri Lanka?

威杜里：你能再介紹一個斯里蘭卡的著名景點嗎?

Danu: Sure. As I mentioned before, Sri Lanka is a beautiful island.

達(dá)努：當(dāng)然可以。我之前提到過，斯里蘭卡是一個美麗的島國。

Widuri: Yes.

威杜里：對。

Danu: So Tooth Relic and the city of Kandy is right in the middle of Sri Lanka.

達(dá)努：我還提到了佛牙，而坎迪市就位于斯里蘭卡中部。

Widuri: Oh, I see.

威杜里：哦，我知道了。

Danu: If you go to the coastal area, there are so many beautiful beaches.

達(dá)努：如果你去沿海地區(qū)，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)那里有很多美麗的海灘。

Widuri: Wow.

威杜里：哇哦。

Danu: And I will talk about the place called Marble Beach.

達(dá)努：我要介紹的地方名為大理石沙灘。

Widuri: Marble Beach.

威杜里：大理石沙灘。

Danu: Why do you think we call it the Marble Beach?

達(dá)努：你認(rèn)為為什么那里名為大理石沙灘?

Widuri: Marble Beach. Maybe because the sands look like marble?

威杜里：大理石沙灘。可能是因為那里的沙子看上去像大理石?

Danu: Exactly. When you get in the sea, the sea bed looks like exactly like marble.

達(dá)努：完全正確。你在海里的時候，海底看上去非常像大理石。

Widuri: Wow.

威杜里：哇哦。

Danu: It's so blue, it shines when the sun is bright. You can see even from far away the blue sea bed of Marble Beach.

達(dá)努：海底是藍(lán)色的，在陽光明媚的日子里，海底會閃閃發(fā)光。在遠(yuǎn)離大理石沙灘的地方也能看到藍(lán)色的海底。

Widuri: Wow.

威杜里：哇哦。

Danu: And the best thing about the Marble Beach is for about 1 kilometer, the depth of water is the same. It's really, really shallow.

達(dá)努：大理石沙灘最棒的地方在于，那里的面積大約為1公里，水也很淺。非常淺。

Widuri: Oh yeah?

威杜里：真的嗎?

Danu: So nobody drowns if you swim in Marble Beach. You can swim even if you cannot swim.

達(dá)努：所以沒有人在大理石沙灘游泳會溺水。即使你不會游泳，也可以在那里游泳。

Widuri: Oh really?

威杜里：哦，真的嗎?

Danu: Yes. And since Sri Lanka is a tropical country, if it is not the rainy season, Marble Beach will be filled with people from outside Sri Lanka as well as with the people from Sri Lanka, local people and foreign people because tourists, they love to do sun bathing.

達(dá)努：對。斯里蘭卡是熱帶國家，如果不是雨季，那大理石沙灘會擠滿來自世界各地的游客，當(dāng)然也有斯里蘭卡本地人，既有當(dāng)?shù)厝艘灿型鈬?，因為游客喜歡曬日光浴。

Widuri: Yeah, they are. Have you visited that Marble Beach?

威杜里：對，沒錯。你去過大理石沙灘嗎?

Danu: Yes, so many times. Usually, my friends and we do road trips to this place because the road to Marble Beach is very beautiful and especially, there is no police in this area so you can drive freely.

達(dá)努：我去過很多次。通常，我會和朋友開車去，因為通往大理石沙灘的那條公路非常漂亮，而且那里沒有警察，你可以自由自在地開車。

Widuri: Oh I see. So you mentioned that Kandy is in the middle of Sri Lanka and this one is in the southern part.

威杜里：我知道了。你剛提到坎迪位于斯里蘭卡中部，而大理石沙灘位于斯里蘭卡南部。

Danu: No. Kandy is in the central part of Sri Lanka and Marble Beach in northeastern part of Sri Lanka.

達(dá)努：不是。坎迪位于斯里蘭卡中部，大理石沙灘位于斯里蘭卡東北部。

Widuri: Is it far?

威杜里：這兩個地方離得遠(yuǎn)嗎?

Danu: It is roughly 170 kilometers from my city.

達(dá)努：大理石沙灘離我的家鄉(xiāng)城市坎迪大約170公里。

Widuri: Oh, not so far. Interesting. Any other famous place near those two places?

威杜里：哦，不是太遠(yuǎn)。有意思。這兩個地方附近還有其他著名景點嗎?

Danu: Oh yes, sure. Near Marble Beach, there's another Hindu temple.

達(dá)努：哦，當(dāng)然有了。在大理石沙灘附近，還有一座印度教寺廟。

Widuri: Okay.

威杜里：好。

Danu: And the landscape of this temple is very interesting because in Sri Lanka, usually, around the beach, around the coastal area, there are no highlands or mountains. But this exact Hindu temple is situated on a little mountain right next to Marble Beach. And if you look down from the Hindu temple, it's like a cliff. It's like a straight fall into the water.

達(dá)努：這座寺廟的景色非常特別，因為在斯里蘭卡，通常海灘和海岸地區(qū)附近，沒有高地或高山。但是這座印度教寺廟就坐落在大理石沙灘旁邊的一座小山上。如果你從這座寺廟往下看，看上去就像懸崖一樣。好像會直接掉入水中一樣。

Widuri: Wow.

威杜里：哇哦。

Danu: So there had been people jumping off from here and trying to suicide as well.

達(dá)努：所以，有人會從那里跳下去，試圖自殺。

Widuri: Oh really?

威杜里：真的嗎?

Danu: As an offering to the god.

達(dá)努：作為上帝的祭品。

Widuri: Wow.

威杜里：哇哦。

Danu: Yeah.

達(dá)努：嗯。

Widuri: That's a bit scary. But it's so interesting. So near that Marble Beach, we have the beautiful cliff plus the Hindu temple.

威杜里：那有些嚇人。不過也很有意思。在大理石沙灘附近，有美麗的懸崖和印度教寺廟。

Danu: That's true.

達(dá)努：沒錯。

Widuri: Very interesting. Wow, I definitely want to go there. I will stay at your house and then we go to both...

威杜里：真有趣。哇哦，我一定要去那里游玩。我可以住在你家，然后我們兩個一起去……

Danu: Temple of the Tooth Relic...

達(dá)努：佛牙寺……

Widuri: Yes, and then...

威杜里：對，還有……

Danu: And the Marble Beach.

達(dá)努：大理石沙灘。

Widuri: The Marble Beach and then to the Hindu temple.

威杜里：去大理石沙灘，然后去那座印度教寺廟。

Danu: Definitely, I'll be your guide.

達(dá)努：一定要去，我可以當(dāng)你的導(dǎo)游。

Widuri: Oh thank you, Danu.

威杜里：哦，謝謝你，達(dá)努。

Danu: Thank you, Widuri.

達(dá)努：謝謝你，威杜里。
