The 7 Wonders Of The World

A: Have you seen this news article? Apparently an organization has made a list to name the new seven wonders of the world and people could vote for them online.

你看了那篇新文章了嗎？顯然是一個組織列舉出一系列世界奇蹟，然後從中選出最新七大奇蹟，然後讓讀者在網上投票。

B: Wow, that's really interesting. So who won?

哇，真的很好玩。誰勝出了？

A: Well, the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal in India.

嗯，中國的長城，印度的泰姬陵。

B: I've been there! It really is an amazing work of architecture and art. The entire complex is made of white marble and in the interior of the tomb, the walls are covered with gems and emeralds!

我去過那兒！那真是很了不起的建築和藝術作品。整個建築羣白色大理石構成的，在陵墓的裏面，牆壁上鑲嵌着祖母綠寶石!

A: Cool! Also amongst the winners is Petra, in Jordan, Machu Picchu in Peru and the pyramid in Chichenitza in Mexico.

酷！其中一個贏家是約旦·佩特拉古城，祕魯的馬丘比丘古城遺蹟和墨西哥金字塔。

B: Wait a minute! It also says that the Christ Re-deemer statue in Brazil and the Colosseum in Rome are wonders. I would love to go to Italy and see the Colosseum, stand in the middle like a gladiator!

等下！巴西的基督像和羅馬的競技場。我想去意大利看羅馬圓形大劇場，站在中間像角鬥士。

A: Well, let's see if we can find some cheap airfare and we can go towards the end of the year.

嗯，讓我看看在年底有沒有便宜的飛行費用，我們可以去趟。

B: Good idea!

好主意！
