guó qìng jié国庆节kuài快dào到le了,jià qī假期chū yóu出游de的rén人hěn很duō多,tí qián提前mǎi买chē piào车票、dìng订jiǔ diàn酒店chéng成le了chū xíng出行qián前yào要kǎo lǜ考虑de的wèn tí问题。

National Day is just around the corner. Many people travel during the holiday, so buying train tickets and booking a hotel in advance are things to consider before setting out.

dà wèi大卫,guó qìng jié国庆节kuài快dào到le了,nǐ你yǒu有shén me什么jì huà计划?

David, National Day is just around the corner. What are your plans?

大卫
wǒ我xiǎng想qù去háng zhōu杭州wán玩liǎng sān两三tiān天。wǒ我hái还méi没qù去guò过xī hú西湖,tīng shuō听说qiū tiān秋天de的xī hú西湖hěn很piào liàng漂亮。

I’m thinking of going to Hangzhou for two or three days. I’ve never been to West Lake, and I’ve heard it’s beautiful there in autumn.

刘娜
guó qìng jié国庆节qù去háng zhōu杭州de的rén人kě néng可能hěn很duō多,nǐ你yǐ jīng已经mǎi piào买票le了ma吗?

There may be a lot of people going to Hangzhou during the National Day holiday. Have you bought your tickets yet?

大卫
hái还méi yǒu没有。wǒ我zuó tiān昨天kàn看le了yī xià一下,chē piào车票kuài快mài wán卖完le了,suǒ yǐ所以yǒu diǎn有点zháo jí着急。liú lǎo shī刘老师,nín您ne呢?

Not yet. I checked yesterday, and the tickets were almost sold out, so I’m a little worried. What about you, Ms. Liu?

刘娜
wǒ我bù不dǎ suàn打算qù去hěn很yuǎn远de的dì fāng地方。zuì jìn最近gōng zuò工作bǐ jiào比较máng忙,wǒ我xiǎng想xiān先zài jiā在家xiū xī休息yī tiān一天,zài再qù去fù jìn附近de的gōng yuán公园zǒu走zǒu走。

I’m not planning to go anywhere far. Work has been pretty busy lately, so I’d like to rest at home for a day first, then take a walk in a nearby park.

大卫
tīng qǐ lái听起来yě也bù cuò不错。jià qī假期dào chù到处dōu都shì是rén人,zài jiā在家kàn kàn看看shū书、zuò zuò做做fàn饭,yě也hěn很shū fú舒服。

That sounds nice, too. There are people everywhere during the holiday, so staying home to read and do some cooking can be quite relaxing.

刘娜
duì对。rú guǒ如果nǐ你zhēn真xiǎng想qù去háng zhōu杭州,zuì hǎo最好zǎo diǎn早点dìng订chē piào车票hé和jiǔ diàn酒店,bù rán不然jià qī假期de的shí hòu时候kě néng可能gèng更guì贵。

Right. If you really want to go to Hangzhou, you’d better book your train tickets and hotel early; otherwise, they may be more expensive during the holiday.

大卫
hǎo好,wǒ我jīn tiān今天wǎn shàng晚上jiù就chá查yī xià一下chē piào车票。rú guǒ如果mǎi买bú dào不到piào票,jiù suàn就算le了,huàn换gè个jìn近yì diǎn一点de的dì fāng地方wán玩。

Okay, I’ll check the train tickets tonight. If I can’t get a ticket, so be it—I’ll go somewhere closer instead.
