Mark: Jingjing, I'm glad you suggested coming to the Great Wall.

　　马克：京晶，很开心你建议我们来登长城。

　　Jingjing: Yeah, we sure picked a nice day for it.

　　京晶：是啊，我们确实挑了个好天儿来爬。

　　Mark: Let's go see about tickets.

　　马克：我们去看看门票吧。

　　Jingjing: Would you like to practice your Chinese?

　　京晶：你想来练习一下中文吗？

　　Mark: Sure. Let me talk to them.

　　马克：当然。让我来跟他们说。

　　(Mark comes back with information about the tickets.)

　　马克了解到票的信息后回来了

　　Mark: Well, there are three ways up: a chairlift, a gondola, or a hike.

　　马克：嗯，有三条路上去：登山吊椅，缆车，或者徒步爬上去。

　　Jingjing: What about the way down?

　　京晶：那下来呢？

　　Mark: There's also a toboggan.

　　马克：也有雪橇啊 。

　　Jingjing: That sounds like fun. We should definitely do that.

　　京晶：这个听上去还挺好玩的。我们一定要玩一次。

　　Mark: OK. Then the best way might be to hike up to the wall, and take the toboggan down.

　　马克：好的。那最好的方法可能就是徒步爬上去（长城），然后坐雪橇下来。

　　Jingjing: Then we just pay the entrance fee and whatever it costs for the toboggan, right?

　　京晶：那我们就只付门票钱，然后再看雪橇怎么花费，对吗？

　　Mark: Exactly. But it's not much more for the chairlift. It's run by the same company.

　　马克：对。但是也不会比登山吊椅贵多少，是同一家公司来负责经营的。

　　Jingjing: Yeah, but I'm eager to start hiking. Plus, we can make a loop of it.

　　京晶：但是我迫不及待想要徒步了。另外，我们可以走一个环形。

　　Mark: That sounds good. There's a shuttle bus that will take us to the entrance.

　　马克：不错。这儿有摆渡车带我们去入口处。

　　Jingjing: You mean we still have to take another bus?

　　京晶：你的意思是，我们还需要再坐一辆车过去？

　　Mark: It's just a short ride. We'll be hiking in a few minutes.

　　马克：只是很短的一段路。几分钟后我们就可以开始徒步了。

　　Jingjing and Mark have hiked up to the wall.

　　京晶和马克一路向城墙徒步而行

　　Jingjing: Wow, what a view!

　　京晶：哇！风景真好啊！

　　Mark: You're telling me. Want to take a rest for a while?

　　Mark: That's what we're here for.

　　马克：这就是我们来这儿的原因。

　　Jingjing: Which way is the toboggan?

　　京晶：雪橇是哪个方向？

　　Mark: It's that way. You can almost see it from here.

　　马克：是那条路。你从这儿差不多就能看见。

　　Jingjing: Let's go up the other way first. When we start to feel tired, let's turn around.
