第3单元 环游世界

　　“Hurry up Meg. We are going to be late.” Tom loaded the bags into the taxi as Meg checked to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything. She grabbed her purse and locked the door as the taxi honked outside.

　　“快点，梅格，我们要迟到了。”汤姆把旅行袋装进计程车里，梅格则再检查一次，确定没有东西忘了带。外面的计程车正按着喇叭，于是梅着手提包一抓，赶紧把门锁上。

　　Tom and Meg were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary by taking a cruise around the world. The taxi dropped them off at the harbor in front of the Alaskan Princess. “This is it,” said Tom. “Our home away from home for the next year.”

　　汤姆和梅格为了庆祝他们结婚五十周年纪念，决定去环游世界。计程车在“阿拉斯加公主”号的港口前让他们下车。“就是它，”汤姆说：“明年离家时的新家。

　　Meg looked up at the beautiful ship. She couldn't believe they were going to travel to Europe, Asia, Australia and home again. She had always wanted to see the world. Now they were doing it in style.

　　梅格看着这艘美丽的船，她简直不敢相信他们回家前要去欧洲、亚洲和澳洲一游。她一直想到世界各地看看，如今梦想成真，而且还气派得很。

　　Tom waved as the ship set sail. Their first stop was Europe. He had always wanted to see the Eiffel Tower, the city of London and the cafe-lined streets of Venice.

　　船启航时，汤姆挥了挥手。他们第一站是欧洲。他一直都想去看看艾菲尔铁塔、伦敦城，还有威尼斯那些咖啡店林立的街道。

　　That evening Meg and Tom got dressed up and had a romantic dinner overlooking the ocean. “Here is to fifty wonderful years,”toasted Tom. “And to another year of travel and adventure.”

　　那天傍晚，梅格和汤姆盛装打扮，一起边看着大海边享用一顿浪漫的晚餐。“敬过去美好的五十年。”汤姆举杯祝贺道：“也敬未来一年的旅行和冒险！”
