邁克：如果我去紐約旅行，你會建議我做什麼？Mari: It depends on which season went to visit, so I don't know if you went during the spring or summer time, I would suggest that you spend some time in Central Park. Go see sports. A lot of sporting events during the summer and there are a lot of events also in Central Park. There's outdoor theater and music concerts and stuff but if you went maybe in the wintertime, you should go see all the windows on Fifth Avenue that are decorated with very holiday themed decorations and Rockefeller Center is know for their big Christmas tree, and you just get a really fun feeling in New York City. Everyone's a little bit more nicer, and I don't know, I like all the seasons in New York City so it depends on which season you decide to visit.
馬裏：這要取決於你在哪個季節去紐約旅行，如果是春季或夏季去紐約遊玩，那我建議你去中央公園看體育比賽。夏季有許多體育賽事，紐約中央公園也會舉行多種賽事。還可以去露天劇場或參加戶外音樂節，不過如果你冬天去，那可以去第五大道上觀賞用節日主題飾裝飾的櫥窗，還可以去看洛克菲勒中心那顆著名的聖誕樹，在紐約市可以玩得很開心。紐約市民都很友善，我喜歡紐約市的所有季節，如何遊玩要取決於旅行季節。Mike: Ah, sounds great, so there's a lot of things to do in New York.
邁克：聽起來太棒了，紐約有很多活動。Mari: Yeah.
馬裏：對。
