亞當：好，嗨，金！

Jin: Hi, Adam.

金：嗨，亞當。

Adam: How are you doing?

亞當：你最近怎麼樣？

Jin: I'm doing good.

金：我很好。

Adam: Ah, you're from Nepal right?

亞當：對了，你來自尼泊爾，對吧？

Jin: Yes, I am.

金：對，沒錯。

Adam: I was thinking about going there. Could you tell me some good places to visit while I'm in Nepal?

亞當：我想去尼泊爾遊玩。你能給我介紹幾個尼泊爾的旅遊勝地嗎？

Jin: Yeah, sure. It's really nice a nice place. I mean, you should totally come to my country. I would recommend that you should go to a place called Pokhara because that's the most famous tourist site in Nepal. There's a really beautiful lake there, and then I know that you like sports, so then there are so many different kinds of activities like bungee jumping, rafting, kayaking... I don't know. What is it?

金：當然可以。尼泊爾真的是個非常好的地方。你真的應該來我的祖國看看。我推薦你去博卡拉，因爲那是尼泊爾最著名的遊覽地。那裏有一個非常美麗的湖，我知道你喜歡運動，你可以在那裏體驗各種活動，比如蹦極、漂流、皮划艇，我不太確定，那怎麼說來着？

Adam: Kayaking?

亞當：皮划艇？

Jin: Kayaking, yeah! So yeah, I think you'll love it there. That's the best place I would say.

金：對，皮划艇！我想你會喜歡那裏的。我會說那裏是最棒的地方。

Adam: Oh, cool! How far is that from the capital?

亞當：哦，真酷！博拉卡離首都有多遠？

Jin: Ah, you have to take a mini-bus, and it will take you around six hours and you'll be there.

金：嗯，你得坐小巴過去，車程大概要6個小時。

Adam: OK, cool! When's the best time to go there?

亞當：好，太酷了！那最佳遊覽時間是什麼時候？

Jin: I think during spring would be better.

金：我想春天去更好。

Adam: Yeah?

亞當：是嗎？

Jin: Yeah. It's really nice there, like, and the people are really nice. The food is amazing, and there's a really good nightlife there because people ... like there's ... what do you call it ... pubs, and like live music, so yeah, it's a really fun place to be at night and in the daytime.

金：對，那裏的春天非常好，而且人也很友好。美味的食物，豐富的夜生活，因爲人們……那個怎麼說來着，那裏有酒吧，有現場音樂表演，無論夜晚還是白天，那都是充滿樂趣的地方。

Adam: That's great. I love live music. Do you have any like events or festivals that I should go to when I'm in Nepal?

亞當：太好了。我喜歡現場音樂表演。尼泊爾有沒有什麼我應該去體驗的活動或節日慶典？

Jin: Actually, in Nepal there's a lot of festivals, but I would recommend you to go there when there's a festival called Holi. It's around February ... March. (Laughter) So yeah, the festival is around March and what we do is we play with colors. We throw colors at each other, and then even throw water balloons. It's really fun, like the whole environment is really colorful, bright and everyone is very happy.

金：實際上，尼泊爾有很多慶典，我推薦你參加灑紅節。灑紅節大概在2月份或3月份舉辦。（笑）灑紅節在3月左右舉辦，在這個節日，我們會玩顏料。我們會互相扔顏料還有水球。非常有意思，到處都是五彩繽紛和鮮豔的顏色，所有人都非常開心。

Adam: Yeah, that sounds like a lot of fun. I think I've seen pictures of that before. How many days is that celebration?

亞當：嗯，聽起來很有意思。我想我以前看過灑紅節的圖片。那個慶典持續幾天？

Jin: It's actually only one day.

金：實際上只有一天。

Adam: Oh, really?

亞當：真的嗎？

Jin: Yeah.

金：對。

Adam: Cool, I really want to go. Anything else you can tell us about Nepal?

亞當：真酷，我非常想參加灑紅節。有關尼泊爾，你還有什麼要介紹的？

Jin: If you like hiking, then Nepal has a lot of mountains. Actually, Mt. Everest is in Nepal so you can even try going there.

金：如果你喜歡徒步旅行，尼泊爾有很多高山。實際上，珠穆朗瑪峯就在尼泊爾，你甚至可以去珠峯徒步。

Adam: Wow, that would be amazing. I really look forward to going there. Thank you so much for your time today.

亞當：哇哦，那真是太棒了。我非常期待去尼泊爾旅行。非常謝謝你今天抽出時間。
