对话文本
T: the May holiday is coming up soon. Are you planning on going on vacation?
E: I am. I just went to the travel agent’s and picked up these brochures.
T: where are you planning on going?
E: I fancy going to Tibet for a few days. Have you ever been there?
T: I went a long time ago, before they built the new train that can take you there.
E: would you recommend going there for a few days?
T: personally, I think it’d be better to go when you have more time. A few days isn’t really enough to get acclimatize yourself and to go on a few excursions outside of the capital.
E: you’re probably right. What do you think about Yangshuo?
T: it’s a beautiful city, but I think it’s become too touristy. How about going to a cosmopolitan city like Shanghai or Hong Kong?
E: I’d like to get away from the big city life.
T: maybe you should consider going to a hot springs resort outside of Beijing. I heard they are very relaxing.
E: I guess if I only have a few days, I should probably think about going somewhere that isn’t far away.
T: since the May holiday is the high season, you should probably call ahead to reserve a room. Here’s the phone number.
E: thanks; I’ll give them a call later.

参考翻译
五一的假期马上就要到了。你打算去什么地方度假吗？
是的，我刚刚去旅行社拿了些宣传单。
你想去哪里？
我想去西藏呆几天。你去过吗？
好多年以前去过，那时候还没通火车呢，你现在可以坐火车去。
你觉得去那儿待几天好吗？
我个人觉得，你最好在时间充裕的时候去那边。只是几天的功夫还不够你适应高原气候的呢，而且也不足以让你游览首府以外其它地方的景致。
你说得很有道理。你觉得阳朔怎么样啊？
那是个很美丽的城市，不过我觉得有点开发过度了。去某个国际化的大都市怎么样，比如香港或上海？
我想远离都市生活。
那也许你可以考虑北京郊区的温泉景点。我听说去那些地方会让人感觉很放松。
我觉得如果只有几天时间的话，我可能会考虑去一些不太远的地方。
鉴于五一假期是旅游旺季，你最好提前预定住宿的房间。这里有电话号码。
谢谢，我一会儿就给他们打电话。
