小高: 很有意思。盡管達到的第一天我們全都在賓館里睡大覺呢。

小高：因為我們不得不在凌晨三點三十才離開北京，毫無疑問，頭一天晚上誰都沒睡好。我們的飛機本來應該早上六點準時起飛，不過延誤了兩個半小時。另外，那段時間我們不得不在跑道上等待起飛，真是無聊透了。
JJ:So where did you fly to?
京晶：你們這是飛去哪兒？
XG:We flew to Dunhuang. After eating lunch, we went to our hotelrooms and slept until the next morning. Everyone was exhausted by then.
