GLORIA： I'm glad we took the train. I don't like to ride in buses.

KAREN： Yes， I agree. We can see the scenery better. In a bus， all you see are the roads.

GLORIA： Even in Taiwan， I always liked to take the train. It is more

comfortable.

KAREN： I agree. Buses bounce too much. After two or three hours， you feel too tired.

GLORIA： Look at that village!

KAREN： Beautiful.

GLORIA： Do you think I can take a picture through this window?

KAREN： I don't know if it will turn out good.

The window might cause the picture to be blurry.

GLORIA： I will try.

KAREN： Who is that man in the aisle?

GLORIA： Oh， he is coming to check tickets. We have to show him our tickets. MAN： Tickets， please. You are on the wrong train， ladies.

These tickets are for the express train.

KAREN： The express train?

MAN： Yes. The train you are on is the local train. The local train stops at every station.

KAREN： Oh， no! We want to get to Dorsett. Where are we going on this train? MAN： You are going to Dorsett on this train too. But it will take longer. The express train goes straight to Dorsett without stopping.

This train is the local train. It stops at every station.

GLORIA： When will we get to Dorsett then?

MAN： In about two hours.

GLORIA： That isn't bad. I don't mind at all. We are enjoying the view of the countryside.

MAN： It's alright this time. I won't make you buy two new tickets. But next time， please be sure you are on the right train.

KAREN： We will read the signs more carefully next time. Thank you. 葛萝莉亚：我很高兴搭火车，我不喜欢搭公车。

凯伦：我也是。搭火车可以欣赏风景，搭公车只看得到马路。

葛萝莉亚：甚至在台湾，我也是喜欢搭火车，比较舒服。

凯伦：没错。公车颠簸得太厉害，两三个小时下来，很累的。

葛萝莉亚：你看乡村!

凯伦：好漂亮。

葛萝莉亚：我可以隔着窗户拍照吗?

凯伦：我不知道效果好不好

窗户可能会使照片模糊。

葛萝莉亚：我试试看。

凯伦：走道上的那个人是谁?

葛萝莉亚：喔，他是来验票的，我们必须让他看车票。

验票员：车票!小姐，你们搭错火车了。

这是快车的车票。

凯伦：快车?

验票员：是的。你们搭的这辆是平快车，每站都会停。

凯伦：不会吧!我们要到多塞特，这是到哪里的火车?

验票员：这班火车也有到多塞特，但是比较慢。

快车会直达多塞特，中途不停靠站。

这班火车是平快车，每站都停。

葛萝莉亚：那么要多久才会到呢?

验票员：大概两个小时。

葛萝莉亚：那还可以，我不介意，我们喜欢欣赏乡村风景。 验票员：这次就算了，我不要求你们再重新买票。 不过下次别搭错车喔。

凯伦：下次我们会仔细看标示的，谢谢你。

第二篇：关于旅行英文对话

旅行

A: Good afternoon, teachers. I’m glad that you are here to listen to our discussion. Our topic today is tourism. I think traveling has become an ordinary thing for us common person. You can go traveling with a group, or just with yourself. You can go to a remote place, or just a place around your city. Now, we will talk about what tourism is and its advantage and disadvantage. So, what do you think about it?

B: I think tourism is the combination of tourist attractions, transportations and accommodations. First, there should be some tourist attractions that could attract people to go there. Second, the roads and transportation methods should be convenient for people. No people want to waste time on the roads. Third, if the number of spots is so large that people couldn’t look around at a single day, there should be accommodations that could provide food and sleep place. So, that’s what I think tourism is.

A:Mr B just talked about what tourism is, and it combines tourist attractions, transportations and accommodations. Could you list some advantages of tourism to us?

C: I think tourism can bring a huge boon to the local economy and provide a large number of job opportunities. When tourists come, they will consume by means of having meals, buying tickets and souvenir, and paying for the nights at the accommodations. At the same time the local people can get a job to serve as a guide to help the tourists.

D: I think it’s a means of promoting the local culture. Some tourist attractions may have a certain history or a particular meaning, so tourists come here to hit the bill. Then more and more people will know the place and be attracted by it.

A: Yeah, tourism can be good for the improvement of the local economy and the local culture. And do you know some disadvantages about tourism?

C: Let me think. Oh, I think the most serious problem caused by tourism may the great damages to the natural environment. More travelers will certainly lead to some environmental degradation—increased pollution from transportation, construction of more facilities to house and entertain these visitors, and sometimes overwhelm a destination’s carrying capacity.

B: Also tourism has influenced the traditional customs in some places. The exotic culture comes and mixes with the pristine culture, and makes it not as it used to be.

A: En…I think all you said are right. There are advantages and disadvantages of tourism, so we should make full use of the advantages and minimize the disadvantages. Nowadays, the eco-tourism is popular around the world, and do you know something about it?

D: The word “eco-tourism” was first mentioned by IUCN(International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) in 1983, and the TIES define it as the tourist activities that has the responsibility to protect the natural environment and maintain the local people’s life.

C: Yeah, we should strive to promote the development of eco-tourism, because it’s environment friendly.

A: That’s right. Traveling is a pleasant entertainment, and we can relax ourselves during the traveling. But we should not entertain ourselves by damaging the environment. So, let’s love tourism and be a man to promote the eco-tourism.

OK! That’s all. Thank you!
