Daniel: Can you tell me about the special characteristics of the night fair? Is that very different from other ordinary fairs?

May: Of course. You can only see the night fairs at night; it often opens at 6:00 p.m. and it lasts for 5 or 6 hours. There are various vendor¹ stands here.

Daniel: What do they sell there?

May: Clothes, shoes, snacks and so on. You can find just about whatever you want.

Daniel: Anything else?

May: There are also some fine art crafts, including wood carving², shell ornaments³ and paper-cut.

Daniel: I think our foreign friends will like them. They said they were interested in the traditional culture.

May: They surely will. We can take them to this night fair next time.

Daniel: Oh, look, there are so many people over there. What are they doing?

May: Let me see. They are watching the performance of the lion dance.

Daniel: Lion dance? I want to have a look. It sounds wonderful.

May: OK. Let’s go.

Daniel: The dancers must have exercised a lot. They move so flexibly.

May: Yes, but we should go now, since the time is limited. You can see the performance next time.

Daniel: OK. Do you want to buy something here?

May: Yes, I want to buy some hair clips.

Daniel: OK, let’s hit the trinkets stand.

听看学

丹尼尔：你能给我说说夜市的特色 吗？它和普通的市场有很大的区别吗？

阿美：当然可以啊。你只能在晚上才能够看到夜市。它通常是在下午6点钟开始，持续5到6个小时。夜市上有各种各样的小摊子。

丹尼尔：那他们卖什么呢？

阿美：衣服、鞋子和小吃等。你能在那里找到你想要的任何东西。

丹尼尔：还有其他可以介绍的吗？

阿美：那里还卖一些非常不错的工艺品，比如说木雕、贝壳饰品和剪纸。

丹尼尔：我认为我们的外国朋友会喜欢这些的。他们说他们对传统文化非常感兴趣。

阿美：他们会喜欢的。下次我们可以带他们来这个夜市。

丹尼尔：噢，看，那边有好多人啊。他们在干什么呢？

阿美：让我看看。他们在看舞狮。

丹尼尔：舞狮？听起来不错，我想去看看。

阿美：好的，走吧。

丹尼尔：那些舞狮的人肯定做了很多练习。他们移动得太灵活了。

阿美：是的，但是时间有限，我们该走了。你可以下次再看表演。

丹尼尔：好的，你想在这儿买点什么东西吗？

阿美：想啊，我想买一些发夹。

丹尼尔：好吧，我们去小饰品店看看。

Recitation 经典背诵

Daniel: May tells me that I can only see the night fairs at night; I think that is a stupid answer. Of course, night fairs open at night; everybody knows that. Oh, just ignore her. All in all, I like watching the lion dance very much. The dancers move so flexibly. They must have practiced a lot.
