Daniel: I like this beautiful Folk Culture Village. It's a shame that it's getting dark now.

May: That'll be more fun. There will be more folk activities going on then.

Daniel: Really? Look! It's a fire. Anything wrong?

May: No. It must be the bonfire party. People would gather round the fire and sing songs. Would you like to go and join them?

Daniel: Sure.

(They come to the bonfire party.)

Daniel: Oh, the clothes they wear are so strange. It's wired to see men in skirts.

May: Come on. It's their traditional costumes. They put them on to show their hospitality¹.

Daniel: That's very interesting. Oh, what is the smell? Where does the delicious smell come from?

May: It must be the roasted leg of lamb, which is very delicious.

Daniel: Oh, I'll love it. Let's go.

May: No. It won't be done until later. Let's watch the traditional performance first.

Daniel: Sure. Sis, their songs are strange too. I've never heard anything like this before, either on TV or on the radio.

May: They are traditional folk songs. I suppose only the local old people can sing them. We are so lucky to hear them. So just enjoy them.

丹尼尔：我喜欢这个美丽的民俗文化村。只可惜现在天快黑了。

阿美：那会更好玩的。到时候会举行更多的民俗活动。

丹尼尔：真的吗？看！着火了。出什么事了？

阿美：不是的。那一定是篝火晚会。人们会聚集在一起围坐在火堆旁唱歌。想去加入他们吗？

丹尼尔：当然。

（他们来到了篝火晚会上。）

丹尼尔：哦，他们穿的衣服真奇怪。男人穿裙子好古怪。

阿美：拜托。这是他们的传统服饰。他们这样穿是为了表示他们的好客。

丹尼尔：那倒是挺有趣的。哦，是什么气味？这香味是从哪里来的啊？

阿美：那一定是烤羊腿，很好吃的。

丹尼尔：哦，我爱吃那个。我们去吃吧。

阿美：先别。等一下才能做好呢。我们先去看传统表演吧！

丹尼尔：好的。姐姐，他们的歌也很奇怪。我以前从来都没听过，电视和广播上都没有。

阿美：这是传统的民歌。我想只有当地的老人才会唱了。我们能听到它们真是幸运。所以就好好听吧。
