（单词翻译）

 　　Darrel: What are you looking at?

　　Alice: Tours for our vacation. I was thinking that it’d be hard for us to get around on our own, so I think joining a tour is a good idea.
　　Darrel: Really? I thought we’d make our way around leisurely1 to see the sites. I don’t like the fast pace of tours. I’d rather have the time to take in each site, not rush through it just to say I’ve been there.
　　Alice: Tours come in all shapes and sizes. I’m sure we can find one that isn’t too fast-paced or strenuous2 for you.
　　Darrel: And I don’t want to eat all my meals with the tour group. I want some time to explore on our own.
　　Alice: All right, I’m looking at a tour that has the perfect itinerary3. It’s also gotten rave4 reviews. It includes a tour guide, all admission fees, accommodations, ground transportation, and most of the meals. And there are several free mornings and afternoons built-in so we can explore on our own.
　　Darrel: I don’t know.
　　Alice: The alternative is for you to plan each stop of our trip.
　　Darrel: A tour is sounding better and better.
　　Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
