原文+答案解析

265.
M: Hi, Amy.
W: Hi.
M: You look great! Have you been on vacation?
W: Yeah, I have. I was on the West Coast.
M: Nice! How was it?
W: Great. I had a wonderful time. It was really nice to get away from work.
M: Where did you go?
W: Los Angeles and San Francisco.
M: How did you like Los Angeles?
W: Well, it is cleaner than I thought it would be, and there are a lot of trees, so I like it better than I thought I would. But it's huge! It's really hard to get around. The bus service is terrible, and you know, I don't like taking the underground. We had to rent a car.
M: And was the weather good?
W: Oh, yes, it was nice and warm in Los Angeles.
M: What about San Francisco?
W: The weather? It was cooler than LA, but it wasn't uncomfortable.
M: Cool in San Francisco? That's surprising.
W: Yeah, it surprised me a bit, too. And it was a problem because we didn't take any sweaters or anything like that, but it's always like that in August. Anyway, I loved it. It's probably the most beautiful city in the US-all those hills, the bay, and those magical old Victorian houses.
M: So, you like it better than Los Angeles?
W: Absolutely! And there's much more that you can see and do on foot! It's smaller than Los Angeles, so it's much easier to get around. There are lots of buses and streetcars, and of course, minibuses, too.
