A: Welcome back. How was your vacation?欢迎回来，假期过得怎么样？

B: It was fantastic, but I'm glad to be back. Being a tourist is really tiring.好极了，不过回到家我还是很高兴，毕竟出门旅游还是挺累的。

A: Where did you end up going?那你后来决定去哪里了？

B: Because it's off-season, we got a really good package deal to Paris, so we went there. 由于属于旅游淡季，我们赶上了一个去巴黎的特别优惠的旅游团，所以我们就去那里了。

A: I've always wanted to go to Paris. The Eiffel Tower is one of the most famous tourist attractions in the world. Did you go to the top?我一直都很想去巴黎。埃菲尔铁塔是世界上最著名的名胜之一，你登到顶塔顶了吗？

B: That was the first thing we did. I have a few pictures, do you want to see them?我们第一站就是去的那儿，我拍了一些照片，你想看看吗？

B: That's a picture of me on our fourth day of traveling. I'm standing next to a famous fountain in the center of the city. 这是我在旅游的第四天拍的，我站在市中心一个特别有名的喷泉旁边。

A: You don't look very happy in that picture.你看起来怎么不高兴啊？

B: No, by that time, I was sick of sightseeing. I had had enough of art galleries, cathedrals, fountains, statues and palaces. We spent that afternoon walking around a flea market. We had a few coffees, watched a movie and went for a swim in a pool at the hotel. 不是，那时候我对观光已经有点腻了。我参观了太多的美术馆，教堂，喷泉，雕像和宫殿。那天下午我们去逛了跳蚤市场，喝咖啡，看电影，然后回酒店泳池游了泳。

A: My travel agent always reminds me to plan a day of relaxing for every three days of sightseeing. Did you go to the Louvre?我参加的旅行社总是提醒我，每观光三天就要腾出一天时间来放松身心。你们去卢浮宫的吗？

B: Of course. You can't go to Paris without going to their most famous art gallery. I was surprised by how small the Mona Lisa was. 当然去了，去巴黎怎么能不去最有名的美术馆呢。但是，蒙娜丽莎那幅画怎么这么小啊！真让我大吃一惊！

A: That's what everyone says. I can't wait to see it for myself someday. 每个去过的人都这么说。我已经等不及了，一定要找时间亲自去看一看。
