　　Jay: What happened? Why do you look so excited?

　　本：发生什么了?为什么你看上去这么兴奋?

　　May: Do you know which country is the largest in the world?

　　梅：你知道世界上面积最大的国家是哪个吗?

　　Jay: That should be Russia. Why?

　　本：肯定是俄罗斯啊。怎么了?

　　May: That is because my parents are taking me to Russia for a week's vacation.

　　梅：那是因为我父母要带我去俄罗斯度假一周啦。

　　Jay: Wow. Congratulations ! I haven't been to Russia in my life. Do you have any idea what it is like there?

　　本：哇，祝贺你啊!我还没去俄罗斯旅游过呢，你知道那里是什么样子吗?

　　May: Yes, I have done some research yesterday. Russia has as many contrasting faces as its size would suggest. It has various cultures from gold leaf glitz to icy Siberian, from Soviet era monuments to urban culture.

　　梅：知道，我昨天做了调查。俄罗斯国土面积很大，所以有很多冲突面，那里辛金箔的炫目，也有西伯利亚的冰雪，有苏联时代的纪念碑，也有城市文化。

　　Jay: Russia must be a destination hard to fully grasp.

　　本：俄罗斯肯定是个很难全面理解的地方。
