I guess the best place to start is the Cathedral and then the Castle.
我想最好的地方是大教堂,然后是城堡。
What are the opening times for those two?
这两者的开放时间是什么?
Well, according to this guidebook, the Cathedral is only open from 9.30 in the morning until midday.
好的,根据这一指南,教堂只从开放早上九点三十到中午。
No, hang on.
不,等等,
That's the Cathedral Museum.
那是大教堂博物馆。
The Cathedral itself is open morning and afternoon.
教堂本身是开放的早晨和下午。
The Castle is just open from 1 to 5,so we can't go there until after lunch.
这座城堡从一点开放到五点,我们就不能去那里吃午饭了。
I really want to spend some time in the Art Gallery, because they've got this wonderful painting by Rembrandt that I've always wanted to see.
我真的很想在美术馆里呆一段时间,因为他们有伦勃朗的精彩的画,我一直想看。
What else should we see?
我们还能看到什么?
Well,the guidebook says the Botanical Gardens are worth spending some time in.
嗯,旅游指南上说的植物园是值得花一些时间的,
And there're open all day from 8 to 6,so we go there anytime.
并且他们开放一整天,从八点到六点,所以我们可以随时去那里。
I'd like to go to the Markets near the river too.
我想去河边的市场,
but ... Oh...no, wait, that's only in the mornings,too.
但…哦…不,等等,那只是在早晨开放。
As well as today and tomorrow, we can see some other places on Monday,you know.
今天和明天,我们可以在星期一参观一些其他的地方。
But I don't think the Markets will be open then.
但我不认为市场会开放:
They only open on Thursdays,so we've missed them for this week.
他们只在周四开放,所以这一周我们错过了他们。
Maybe we should go to the Cathedral today because it's Sunday tomorrow.
也许我们今天应该去大教堂,因为明天是星期日,
And even though it's open every day it might be more difficult to get in tomorrow because of the church services.
即使每天开放,因为教堂的礼拜仪式,也会更难进入。
That is true.
这倒是
But the Art Gallery isn't open on Sundays at all.
但是在星期天,美术馆是不开放的,
So we'll have to go there today.
所以我们必须去那里。
The Castle's open every day except Mondays.
城堡每天开放除了周一,
So we're okay there.
所以我们可以到那里,
And the Gardens of course is only close at night.
当然,花园只在夜间关闭。
Are all these places free or do we have to pay to go in?
这些地方都是免费的吗,还是我们必须付钱进去?
What does the guidebook say?
指南是怎么说的呢?
I think there's a charge for all of them except the Botanical Gardens.
我认为所有的都收费除了植物园。
Oh,and the markets,of course you don't pay to go in.
哦,还有市场你是不用付钱进去的。
OK, well, it looks like our plan is this:
好吧,好吧,看来我们的计划是这样的:
we'll go to see the painting you like first, the Rembrandt, then have lunch and go on to the Castle after that, and then the Cathedral.
首先我们会去看你喜欢的画,伦勃朗,然后吃午饭,之后去城堡,然后大教堂。
OK.
好的。
It says here that the roof of the Cathedral is really beautiful.
这里说大教堂的屋顶真漂亮。
Is that right?
是吗?
What I really want to do at the Cathedral is climb the tower.
我真正想在大教堂做的是爬塔。
The view is supposed to be spectacular!
那里的景观应该是非常壮观的。
OK,well,that'll be more than enough today.
好吧,对于今天这样的行程足够了。
Then, tomorrow, let's go to the Botanical Gardens and have a picnic.
