茜：你好，鲁斯！

　　Ruth: Oh, hi.

　　鲁斯：哦，你好。

　　Akane: So, what did you do today?

　　茜：你今天都做什么了？

　　Ruth: That's a good question. Actually, today, I went to the onsen.

　　鲁斯：这是个好问题。实际上我今天去泡温泉了。

　　Akane: Oh, the onsen. What's an onsen?

　　茜：哦，温泉。温泉是什么？

　　Ruth: An onsen is a public bath and people go there, basically just to sit in hot water, and it's, it's a bit like a spa and it's really relaxing. You just sit there and don't do anything really because it's so warm. It's really nice.

　　鲁斯：温泉就是公共浴室，人们去那里只是坐在热水里，就像水疗一样，非常放松。你只要坐在那里，什么都不用做，因为那里非常温暖。是个非常不错的地方。

　　Akane: Oh, OK. Well, what did you think about it?

　　茜：哦，好的。嗯，你觉得那怎么样？

　　Ruth: I really enjoyed myself. I'd never been to an onsen before, so today was my first experience and I am quite British and you have to go in with no clothes on so I was a little bit concerned about that, but it went OK.

　　鲁斯：我非常享受。我以前从来没有去过温泉，所以今天是我第一次去，我是个传统的英国人，可是在温泉里什么都不能穿，所以我有点担心，不过现在看来还不错。

　　Akane: Oh, OK. Well, are you going to tell your friends and family that you did that?

　　茜：哦，好。嗯，你会告诉你的朋友和家人你去温泉了吗？

　　Ruth: Um, I think probably I will tell them, and I think they might listen to this actually, so

　　鲁斯：嗯，我可能会告诉他们吧，我想他们可能会想听，所以……

　　Akane: And how do you think they'll feel about that?

　　茜：你认为他们会怎么想？

　　Ruth: They'll probably think it's really funny. Yeah, I think they'll laugh.

　　鲁斯：他们可能认为那很有趣。嗯，我想他们会笑的。

　　Akane: OK, well, actually, I've been to an onsen too before.

　　茜：好吧，实际上我以前也去过温泉。

　　Ruth: Oh, really!

　　鲁斯：哦，真的吗？

　　Akane: Yes I have. I actually, do really enjoy it. I think it's very relaxing. If you go to the big onsens, they have lots of different kinds of baths and one of them is called the "Electric Bath" and when you go into it you feel little tiny electric shocks and it's supposed to be good to increase your blood circulation, apparently.

　　茜：是啊，我去过。实际上，我非常享受。我认为那令人很放松。如果你去大的温泉，他们会有许多种不同的温泉池，其中就有一种“电热浴池”，你进去以后会感到轻微的电击，显然这对你的血液循环有好处。

　　Ruth: Does it hurt?

　　鲁斯：那会疼吗？

　　Akane: When I went into that one I was very little, so I thought it hurt and I didn't really like it.

　　茜：我去那里的时候非常小，我觉得有点疼，所以我不是很喜欢。
