美語情景對話 第1153期:Indonesia Islands 印尼島嶼

Danu: So Widuri...

達努：威杜裏……

Widuri: Yeah.

威杜裏：嗯。

Danu: Indonesia is an island nation.

達努：印度尼西亞是一個島國。

Widuri: Right.

威杜裏：對。

Danu: And you have so many islands.

達努：你們有很多島嶼。

Widuri: True.

威杜裏：沒錯。

Danu: Could you talk about some famous places in Indonesia?

達努：你能介紹幾個印尼的著名風景點嗎？

Widuri: Wow. Let me see. My list is very long about this. But I will mention the three most favorite place. Okay. The first one is Bali. I think this one is very famous everywhere. Sometimes, people know Bali but they don't know that Bali is in Indonesia. So Bali is a very, very beautiful island in Indonesia. Both local and international tourists they go to Bali, of course. In Bali, you can find many beautiful beaches. And the weather is very good there. The preferable time to go there is August, I guess because it's summer time, and it's also very hot in Indonesia.

威杜裏：哇哦。讓我想一下。那我要介紹的太多了。我想重點介紹三個我最喜歡的地方。第一個地方是巴厘島。我認爲巴厘島馳名海外。不過人們可能知道巴厘島，但不知道巴厘島屬於印尼。巴厘島是印尼一個非常美麗的島嶼。巴厘島吸引了許多國內外遊客。巴厘島有許多美麗的海灘。而且那裏的天氣也很好。我認爲最佳遊玩時間是8月，因爲那時是夏季，印尼的夏季也很熱。

Danu: So Bali sounds like a very nice place.

達努：聽起來巴厘島是一個非常不錯的地方。

Widuri: Yes, it is.

威杜裏：對，沒錯。

Danu: Have you been to Bali, Widuri?

達努：威杜裏，你去過巴厘島嗎？

Widuri: So many times. Yeah, because well, my dad used to work there. So every vacation, I went there to visit my dad and of course, to visit the beautiful beaches in Bali.

威杜裏：我去過很多次。因爲我爸爸以前在那裏工作。所以每個假期我都會去巴厘島看我爸爸，當然了，我也會去巴厘島上的美麗海灘遊玩。

Danu: Oh that sounds really fun.

達努：哦，聽上去真有意思。

Widuri: Yes, it is.

威杜裏：對，沒錯。

Danu: So you said Bali is an island, right?

達努：你剛說巴厘島是個島，對吧？

Widuri: Uh-hmm.

威杜裏：嗯。

Danu: So is there any specific interesting place in Bali?

達努：那裏有引人入勝的景點嗎？

Widuri: Okay. So most of the people in Bali, they are Hindus. So there are a lot of Hindu temples in Bali. Let me mention one. The name is Pura Besakih. This one is the largest temple in Bali. And not only Hindu people in Bali but Hindu people in Indonesia, they go there to pray.

威杜裏：有。大部分去巴厘島的遊客都信奉印度教。因爲巴厘島有很多印度教寺廟。我來介紹其中一個寺廟——百沙基母廟。這是巴厘島最大的寺廟。不僅巴厘島的印度教徒，整個印尼的印度教徒都會去那座寺廟祈福。

Danu: I see. It sounds really interesting.

達努：我知道了。聽起來非常有趣。

Widuri: Yes, it is.

威杜裏：對，沒錯。

Danu: Have you visited that temple, Widuri?

達努：威杜裏，你去過那座寺廟嗎？

Widuri: Yeah. I think two times. And it's always crowded not only with local tourists but also with international tourists.

威杜裏：去過。我去過兩次。那裏一直遊人如雲，不僅有本地遊客，還有國外的遊客。

Danu: So Bali is very famous among international tourists and local tourists as well.

達努：所以，對國內外遊客來說，巴厘島都是非常著名的景點。

Widuri: Yes, it is.

威杜裏：對，沒錯。

Danu: I see. That's interesting.

達努：我知道了。這很有趣。
