May: I didn’t know it would be so big!

Guide: It is! Look there, those are the tracks. And the jumping pit is over there.

May: Ah…I see. Hey, look the sign here: “No climbing”.

Guide: We put many signs with English translations for foreign visitors.

May: Does it mean not to climb over the railings?

阿美：我以前不知道它竟有這么大！

導游：是很大！看那兒，那是跑道，遠一點那邊是沙坑。

阿美：啊……我看到了。嘿，看這塊標識：“禁止攀爬”。

導游：我們為外國觀光者設置了很多帶有英語翻譯的標識。

阿美：它是不是說禁止攀爬欄桿呢？

導游：是啊。但是我的小女兒有一次沒有攀爬就過去了。

阿美：哦？那她怎么辦到的呢？

導游：她是從下面爬過去的。
