Goodafternoon, and welcome to City Hour, the radio show brings you all the latest information about advance in and around our city.
下午好，欢迎收听City Hour，我们这档广播节目会给您带来本市以及周边所有活动的最新信息。
Today, we have Welter Cinchier Smith, who's heading up this year's city fair.
今天我们邀请到了Synthia Smith，这一届城市博览会的负责人来节目做客。
Cinchier, will you start bargaining some of the basic information about the fair? Where will it take place this year?
Synthia，开头请你介绍一些博览会的基本信息吧，今年会在哪里举行呢？
I'm glad you ask that question. Because I know most people will be expecting the fair ground as usual.
这个问题问得好，因为我知道大部分人还以为今年的博览会会和往年一样在博览中心举行。
But we have changed the location this year due to some construction work.
但是由于一些工程原因，我们不得不更改了今年的博览会举行地点。
You know, the building near high school and that neighborhood are now being used as a fair ground as a place to store constructive materials.
你们也知道，那附近正在建一个新的高中，而且他们一直都把博览中心当做放置建筑材料的地方。
So we've moved the fair to City Park, which I think it's a wonderful location.
所以我们就把博览会改到了市公园举行，我觉得这个地点选择得非常棒。
Yes, that will be a great place for the fair. I understand the fair begins on Friday morning with a special opening event.
对，那里会很适合举行博览会的。我听说博览会星期五上午开始，还有一个特殊的开幕活动。
Actually, it n't begin until that evening. But you're right about the special event.
事实上，博览会星期五晚上才开始。不过你关于特殊活动的消息是对的。
Traditionally, we began with a pray, but this year, our opening event will be a special dance performance.
以往我们都是以祈祷作为开场，不过今年我们的开幕活动是一个特别的舞蹈表演。
And the most exciting part is the mare will be one of the dancers.
最精彩的部分是，市长也会作为一名舞蹈演员参与表演。
The mare is a warmer-up of many talents. Cinchier, cowill you tell our listeners about the price admission? What will it cost to attend the fair?
市长一向多才多艺，Synthia，你能不能把入场券的价格告诉我们的听众？要参加博览会的话得花多少钱？
We're trying to keep the price down as much as possible. A 3-day pass is just 25 dolallars. Or you can buy a Saturday or Sunday only pass for 15 dollars.
我们在尽可能地把价格降到最低。一张为期三天的入场券只要25美元，或者你们也可以买一张仅限周六或周日使用的券，只要15美元。
The opening event on Friday for dance performance doesn't cost anything to attend. And I'm hoping a lot of people will come to watch that.
要参加周五的开幕活动，观看舞蹈表演的话，一分钱也不用出。我预计会有很多人前来观看表演的。
Now listen and answer questions 15—20.
请听并回答问题15—20。
Cowill you tell us about some of the events plan for Saturday and Sunday, the main days of the fair.
你能不能跟我们讲讲，博览会举行的主要日期周六、周日计划都有哪些活动？
We have a lot of exciting things planned. There are a number of events especially for children including a clown show on Saturday afternoon.
我们准备了很多精彩的活动。有许多活动是专门为孩子们准备的，包括周六下午的小丑表演。
On Saturday evening, we've got an event that can be enjoyed by the whole family, a concert by the lake.
周六晚上，我们准备了一个可以全家一起观看的节目——湖边音乐会。
I'm sure that will be a popular event. Is there anything special planned for Sunday?
我相信那会很受欢迎的。周日有什么特别的活动吗？
Yes, a really fun event. And we hope a lot of people will participate. There'll be a singing contest in the afternoon.
有，一个特别有趣的活动。周日下午会举行一个歌唱比赛，我们希望大家都能参与进来
It's open to everyone and no charge. It doesn't matter whether you are an experience or you are not. If you've always dreamed of singing on stage, this is your chance.
这个比赛免费对所有人开放，有没有歌唱经验都不要紧。如果你一直渴望登上舞台唱歌的话，那你的机会就来了。
That sounds like a lot of fun.
听起来太有趣了。
I think it will be. I'd also like to let your listeners to know that beside the special events I've mentioned, there will be things taking place all weekend.
一定会的。我还想告诉各位听众，除了我提到的这些特殊活动之外，整个周末都会举行各式各样的活动。
For example, the food court, International food will be served. You'll be out of sample dishes from all around the world.
比如，在食物展区会提供来自世界各地的食物。你们可以试吃全世界的菜品。
There will also be special games for children at different locations around the fair.
在博览会各处都会有为孩子准备的特别游戏。
Will there be things that people can buy, souvenirs, anything like that?
到时候有什么大家可以购买的东西吗？像纪念品之类的。
We have a large area set aside where there'll be crafts for sale.
我们在博览会一侧设置了一块很大的区域出售手工品。
This will be an opportunity to buy many lovely hand-made things. And to get to know some of our local luscious crafts people as well.
大家都有机会能够买到很多可爱的手工品，并且还能认识一些我们当地的艺术家和手工艺人。
It sounds like there will be a lot of fun for everyone at this year's fair. Thank you for sharing information with us, Cinchier.
