（单词翻译）

SYLVIA: So, what do you plan to do today?
SHARON: There is a Matisse exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. Larry and I will go.
SYLVIA: Did you buy tickets already?
SHARON: No. Do we need tickets?
SYLVIA: Well, probably. Probably you will have to wait in line if you don't have tickets.
SHARON: Outside or inside?
SYLVIA: Outside, on the sidewalk.
SHARON: Hmm. It's very cold today.But I brought my jacket. Maybe it will be alright to wait.
SYLVIA: The MOMA is very popular. There will be a lot of people.
SHAROM: "MOMA"? What's that?
SYLVIA: Oh, sorry.It stands for the Museum of Modern Art. It's an acronym¹. M O M A "MOMA."
SHARON: I see. Do you have any suggestions for other things we should do?
SYLVIA: I suggest you go to the Jewish² Museum.It's not far from the Guggenheim, near Central Park. It is really very interesting.Also, there is a great museum of medieval³ European art further up north.It's called the Cloisters⁴.
SHARON: How can we get up there?
SYLVIA: You can take a bus.
SHARON: But Larry says the neighborhoods in the north are dangerous.
SYLVIA: Some places aren't good to go.But I can show you the right bus to take. It will be no problem.
SHARON: We want to see the Statue of Liberty⁵ too.
SYLVIA: I have never done that myself. But I hear it is very interesting. You two should go.
SHARON: You have never gone to the Statue of Liberty?!I can't believe it! But you live here!
SYLVIA: Yes, but I'm very busy with work.And you know how it is, sometimes people don't visit the tourist sites in their own country.
SHARON: I know. Are the subway trains easy to take here?
SYLVIA: Oh, yes. I recommend⁶ the subways. They are very fast, faster than taxis.And the maps are very clear. Just be careful you don't get off in the wrong place.
SHARON: Thank you for all this advice, Sylvia. Let me pay for our breakfast today.
SYLVIA: No, absolutely not.You are a visitor here. When I come to Illinois, then I will let you pay.But here, I think of you as my guest.
SHARON: You are treating us too well.
SYLVIA: I am happy you decided⁷ to come.It gets cold here in winter, but there are many many things to do.
思维亚：你们今天打算做什么？
雪伦：现代艺术博物馆现在展出法国画家马蒂斯的作品，赖瑞和我想去看看。
思维亚：你们买票了吗？
雪伦：还没，需要门票吗？
思维亚：可能要，没门票的话可能要排很久。
雪伦：在里面还是外面？
思维亚：外面，在人行道上。
雪伦：今天好冷。但是我有带夹克，排一下队还好。
思维亚：MOMA 很受欢迎的，会有很多人。
雪伦：MOMA 是什么？
思维亚：喔！对不起。是现代艺术博物馆的缩写。
雪伦：原来是这样。你还有什么建议吗？
思维亚：我建议你们去犹太博物馆。离辜根汉基金会不远，靠近中央公园，很有意思的。再往北一点，有欧洲中古世纪艺术的博物馆。叫做克劳斯特修道院。
雪伦：要怎么到那边呢？
思维亚：可以搭公车。
雪伦：可是赖瑞说北部邻近地区很危险。
思维亚：有些地方最好不要去。但是我可以告诉你搭什么公车，不会有问题的。
雪伦：我们也想看自由女神像。
思维亚：我没去过，不过听说蛮有趣的，你们两个应该去看看。
雪伦：你没去过自由女神像那儿？真不敢相信，你住在这里耶！
思维亚：我工作很忙。而且通常人们不在自己的国家旅行是吧！
雪伦：我了解。这里的地下铁好搭吗？
思维亚：很方便，我建议搭地下铁，很快，比出租车还快。而且地图画得很清楚，只要注意别下错站就好了。
雪伦：谢谢你的建议，思维亚。今天的早餐我请客。
思维亚：绝对不行。你是客人，下次我去台北时再让你请。在这里，你们是我的客人。
雪伦：你对我们的招待太好了。
思维亚：我很高兴你们来。虽然冬天很冷，但还是有很多事可以做。
