上期听力文本中英对照:

Lately I’ve been thinking about a trip to Mexico three years ago. It’s hard to forget even up until now.
Jennifer:最近我总是想起三年前的墨西哥之旅,至今让难以忘怀。

Oh? Were you sucked in by the Caribbean scenery and mysterious Mayan culture?
Emma: 哦?加勒比海的风光和神秘的玛雅文化深深吸引了你们?

Yeah. So the three of us started an adventure.
Jennifer:是的,于是我们一家三口开始了一次冒险之旅。

I heard it’s harder to get a Mexican visa than an American one? When you’re going through customs, they wanted to use your daughter’s visa as a sample?
Emma:听说墨西哥签证比美国还难,出关时,海关人员希望把你女儿的签证作为样本?

Haha, yeah, because it was the first time for them to see a Mexican tourist visa.
Jennifer:哈哈,是的,因为他们也是第一次看到墨西哥自由行的签证。

That’s so interesting!
Emma:真有趣!

When we were at a resort in Cancun, we saw the sunrise at 4 in the morning. It was so beautiful! Then when we reached Mexico City, there were 10 subway lines, all criss-crossed. Every transfer station setup an art theme.
Jennifer:我们在度假胜地—坎昆时,凌晨四点在加勒比海看了日出,那个美呀!然后到达墨西哥城,这里有十条地铁线,纵横交错,每一个中转站都设计了一个艺术主题。

Wow! It’s so unique! A subway station enriched with art!
Emma: 哇!多么与众不同,富有艺术气息的地铁站啊!

The people there are friendly. When it’s crowded, they’ll lightly pull on your pants and tell you there is a seat available.
Jennifer:当地人民很友好,遇到地铁拥挤时,会轻轻拉你的裤腿告诉你车上有空位。

Haha, that probably scared you, huh?
Emma:哈哈,差点吓你一跳吧?

The most beautiful scenery in Mexico is that you can see 3 to 4 thousand year old ancient architecture and churches. It’s grand and solemn. Love songs are played from time to time in the street, it’s so romantic!
Jennifer:墨西哥最美的风景是到处可见的三四千年的古代建筑和教堂,宏伟庄重。街头时时播放着爱情歌曲,非常浪漫!

Did you guys visit the Mayan cultural ruins?
Emma: 你们参观墨西哥的玛雅文化历史的遗迹吗?

That was a must! We visited the world’s second oldest temple after the ancient Egyptian pyramids. Pyramids of the Sun and Moon are Mexico’s top attractions
Jennifer: 这是一定要去的,还去了仅次于古埃及金字塔的世界第二大古老神庙:太阳神庙和月亮神庙,它们也是墨西哥的顶级景观之一。

In Mexico, we ran into an armed officer who made us all get off the bus. All of the men were searched. It was really scary.
Jennifer: 我们在墨西哥的公车上还遇到持枪的警察把全车人都赶下车,男士们都被警察搜身,还挺吓人的。

How thrilling!
Emma:真是惊险啊!


Even so, Mexico is worth a visit. I can’t really say why. It was really interesting to me. I really wanna go again.
Jennifer:尽管如此,墨西哥是个值得一去的国家,也说不出为什么,对我充满了吸引力,很想再去一次。
