　　散步

　　After their lunch, Kathy and Evan decide to take a walk around the pond and through the woods.

　　午餐后，凯西和艾凡决定沿着池塘及穿过森林散步。

　　K:The summers are so great here! Not hot at all. I love the cooling breezes¹, the clear air, all the greenery.

　　凯西：这里的夏天真是宜人！一点也不热。我喜欢凉凉的微风、清净的空气，和这片绿意盎然的大地。

　　E:This really has been a wonderful holiday for us. Shall we take a walk around the pond? Or into those woods for a while?

　　艾凡：我们这次的假期真的很棒。我们是要沿着池塘走走，还是到那片树林散一会儿步呢？

　　K:Let's do both! Are we in a rush or anything?

　　凯西：咱们两件事都做好了！我们要赶时间还是什么吗？

　　E:No, not really. I had thought we'd stay in Hamburg tonight, but we can't unless we rush it. Let's stay in Bremen instead. Tomorrow we can have lunch in Hamburg, then check into a hostel² in Copenhagen and have dinner there.

　　艾凡：不，不是真的在赶时间。我本来想今晚我们就住在汉堡市，但是除非我们匆匆赶路，否则是到不了那里的。咱们改住在不来梅好了。明天我们在汉堡市吃午餐，然后下榻在哥本哈根的青年旅社并在那里用晚餐。

　　K:Sounds fine to me. Whatever. Let's enjoy this pond first.

　　凯西：听来很不错。不管怎样，咱们先欣赏这个池塘吧。

　　E:Sure. We can walk around to that path that leads into the woods there. Hey, look! There are some wild ducks over there in the reeds³.

　　艾凡：好呀。我们可以绕道走到那边那条通往树林的小路去。嘿，瞧！那边的芦苇中有几只野鸭子。

　　K:I see them! Wow! How do you know they're wild?

　　凯西：我看到了！哇！你怎么知道它们是野生的呢？

　　E:I used to go hunting with my uncle; that's how.

　　艾凡：我以前曾和我叔叔去打猎，所以我知道。

　　K:They're neat. Now let's take that path into the woods and see what we can see...

　　凯西：它们真是漂亮。咱们现在就抄小路到那片树林里去看看我们能看到什么东西……
