May: So, what do you think? Mom.

Daniel: Do you also want to stay in Beijing, visiting cultural relics?

Mom: Er, actually, no.

Daniel: So?

Mom: I would suggest we enjoy some natural scenery in Guilin. Though it would be a long journey there, we can always play cards on the train.

Daniel: Is there any interesting place for us to go?

Mom: Sure, we can go boating there and eat at the farm house.

Daniel: And?

Mom: In a word, we can enjoy things that are different from cities. What do you think?

Daniel: Compared Dad's opinion, I prefer mom's plan. But that's not perfect either.

Mom: All right, where do you want to go?

Daniel: If I tell you, you promise me that you won't laugh it off.

Mom: I won't, go ahead!

阿美：媽媽，你認為呢？

丹尼爾：你也想待在北京嗎,去參觀一些文化遺址嗎？

媽媽：事實上，我不是很同意這個觀點。

丹尼爾：所以呢？

媽媽：我建議去桂林欣賞自然風光。雖然路途會遠一些，但是我們可以在火車上打牌啊。

丹尼爾：那個地方有什么好玩的嗎？

媽媽：當然有啦，我們可以劃船，還可以吃到農家菜啊。

丹尼爾：還有呢？

媽媽：總之，我們能領略到與城市不一樣的東西。你們覺得怎么樣？

丹尼爾：和爸爸的建議相比，我覺得媽媽的要好，但也不是最好的。

媽媽：那好，你們倆想去哪里？

丹尼爾：如果我告訴你，你答應我你們不會一笑置之。

媽媽：不會的，說吧！

Mom: I don't like staying in Beijing during any vacations. I prefer to go to some new places like Guilin for the beautiful scenery. Though it would be a long trip, it would be more fun too. But I'm not sure whether other family members would want to do the same thing.
