旅行社：你好，请问你要去哪里旅游？ Hi, May I help you?

James: Hi, I understand that your agency arranges a trip to the Three Gorges from here. 你好，我听说你们旅行社由三峡旅游的项目。

旅行社：是的，我们每天都有游船从这里到三峡，分三峡一日游和两日游两种，请问你们准备选择哪种呢？ Yes, we arrange daily cruise travel to the Three Gorges; there are one-day tours and two-day tours. Which one would you like?

James: What’s the difference between these two tours? 这两个项目有什么区别吗?

旅行社：一日游的话，我们就是早上8点从重庆出发，乘快船游三峡，沿途参观张飞庙、白帝城、三峡等景点。晚上到宜昌住宿。两日游的是慢船，行程和景点都是一样的。In the one-day tour, we leave Chongqing at 8 am and take a fast boat to the Three Gorges. During the trip we will visit Zhangfei Temple, Baidi City and the Three Gorges. By night we will arrive at Yichang for accommodations. In the two-day tour the trip is the same, except we take an ordinary boat.

James: I see. How much does each cost? 额，是这样，那两种个要多少钱？

旅行社：一日游是960元一个人，二日游稍微贵一点，1100元一个人。960 RMB per person for the one-day tour, and 1100 RMB for the two-day tour.

James: OK, one-day tour sounds good to me. By the way, are meals included in the price? 好的，我想要一日游。顺便问一下，刚才的报价包括用餐吗？

旅行社：额，这个价格包括了中午和晚上两顿饭，就是我们提供的建议套餐，不含饮料。当然，你也可以自己点菜，点饮料，但是要另外掏钱。Well, the price includes two standard meals, but not drinks. You have to pay an extra charge for more dishes and drinks.

James: All right. I’ll go for the one-day tour. 那行，我就选一日游。

旅行社：好的，这里是我们旅行社提供的旅行合同，一式两份，你看一下，没问题的话，签个字，到隔壁柜台交完钱就可以了，明天早上七点赶到这里，坐我们的大巴到码头。Ok, here is the contract prepared by our agency. There are two copies. Please

各位外国朋友大家好，我是这个景区的管委会主任，在大家进入景区游览之前，有几个注意事项要提醒一下：Hello dear friends, I am the Director of the Administrative Committee. Before you visit the scenic area, I would like to give you several tips.

首先，我们景区会给大家配一个英文导游，请听从我们导游的安排，遵守时间，以便顺利完成整个行程。请大家记好导游的电话、旅游车牌，手机随时保持开机状态，因为我们这个景区比较大，当与团队走散时，请不要慌张，我们的导游一定会来找你们。First, we will provide you with an English-speaking guide. Please take his advice during the trip and follow the schedule. Please don’t forget his phone number and

your bus’s number. Please don’t turn off your mobile phone so that we can reach you in case you get lost. Should you lose your way, stay calm, our guide will soon find you.

其次，请注意安全。摄影师请不要到有危险的地区拍摄或攀爬，请注意妥善保管个人的贵重物品，照顾好随身物件，遇到紧急情况可以和我们的工作人员联系。Second, safety first. Please don’t venture to climb or have photos taken in dangerous places. Please take good care of your valuables. You can contact our staff in case of emergency.

此外，我们景区内的民族风情表演区在上午10:00和下午3:00各有一场表演，大家如果有兴趣的话可以去观看，费用已经包含在门票里了，所以不用另外付钱。There will also be a performance at 10 am and 3 pm in the Ethnic Performance Section. The cost is included in the entrance fee, so you are welcome to the show.
