Snow-capped mountains, golden beaches, shining lakes and ancient rainforests:
白雪皑皑的山脉、金色绵绵的沙滩、波光粼粼的湖泊，还有那古老的亚热带雨林： it really is just like the postcards. 一切真的就像明信片一般美丽。
Because of our sparse population, it is always possible to find a peaceful spot to be alone with nature.
我们人口稀少，因此要想找一个与大自然独处的宁静之地永远不成问题。 One of the most popular holiday activities is camping: 在新西兰，最受欢迎的度假活动之一是野外露营：
staying in tents or simple huts in the forest, or near a beach or river. 住在林间、海滨、河边的帐篷里或简单的小木屋里。
Away from the noise and bustle of the city you can enjoy outdoor activities like fishing, walking and swimming.
远离城市的喧嚣和忙碌，你可以尽情享受各种室外活动，例如钓鱼、散步和游泳等。 Most of New Zealand's scenic highlights are found in National Parks, which are freely open to the public.
大部分新西兰迷人的风景都能在国家公园里找到，这些国家公园对大众免费开放。
Tour Guide's Speech at the National Park
Well, good morning everybody. My name's Matt and I'm one of the three guides here at the National Park. Our job is to make sure that you all have a great time here with us and go home feeling happy and relaxed.
大家早上好。我叫 Matt，是这个国家公园的三名导游之一。我们的工作就是让大家在这里玩得高兴，带着轻松愉快的心情回家。
To encourage you to relax there, there are no radios or TVs and the only phones and newspapers are in the office. So, if peace and quiet is what you've come for, this is the place to be.
为了让大家真正放松，我们这里没有收音机和电视，电话、报纸只有办公室才有。所以，如果大家是来寻求安静的话，你们算来对地方了。
Your luggage will be downloaded from the bus and taken to your rooms in a few minutes. Once you have picked up your key at reception, please locate your room and check that all your luggage has arrived.
一会儿有人会把大家的行李抬下车送到房间去。大家在前台拿到钥匙后，请找到各自的房间，看看行李是否送到了房间。
You've chosen to visit us in January, which is one of our hotter months, and although you may be tempted to wear a minimum of clothing, you should always take precautions against injury. This includes sensible footwear. You'd be surprised how many of our guests ignore this advice and end up being sorry. And socks are a good idea too. And, even though you might be under trees a lot of the times, it's a good idea to wear a hat in this hot climate.
大家来的时间是一月份，在这里是一年中比较热的时候，可能想少穿点衣服，但是一定要小心别受伤，记得穿上舒服点的鞋。有很多客人没听我的话，结果就吃了亏。记得穿袜子。还有，虽然这里有树荫很凉快，不过天气很热，戴顶帽子准错不了。
Well, that's about all for now. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at any time. 好了，差不多就这些了，大家还有社么问题的话可以随时来问我。
The Potala Palace
You’ll regret if you didn’t go to the Potala Palace when visiting Tibet. The world-famous palace-castle-like architectural complex is at the center of Lasa, the capital of Tibet, on the top of Hongshan Mountain at an elevation of 3,600 meters. “Potala” is the sound transliteration of ancient Indian Sanskrit, meaning “the holy land of Buddhism”. It is a sacred and solemn place in Tibetans’ eyes.
到西藏，如果不去布达拉宫那的确是件非常遗憾的事。这座举世闻名的宫堡式古建筑群坐落在海拔3600多米的西藏首府拉萨市的中心红山之巅。“布达拉”音译自古印度梵文，意思是“佛教圣地”。在藏族人民心中是一个神圣庄严的地方。
The Potala Palace is 360 meters long from the east to the west, 270 meters wide from the south to the north, with an area of 130,000 square meters. It seems to have 13 floors seen from the outside, but in fact it has 9 floors inside, 117 meters high. It has the highest elevation with palaces, castles and temples integrated into a magnificent building.
布达拉宫东西长360米，南北宽270米，占地面积13万多平方米。从外边看有13层，实际上里面是9层，高117米。是世界上海拔最高集宫殿、城堡和寺庙于一体的宏伟建筑。 641 AD, Sontzen Gampo, Tu Bo King of Zang nationality was beneficent. He married Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty who believed in Buddhism. He built a new palace on Hongshan Mountain for Princess Wencheng. This is the “Potala Palace”. It formed the scale we see today after the reconstruction between 1645-1693 and the extension by Dalai XⅢ.
公元641年，藏族吐蕃王松赞干布好善。他迎娶了唐朝信佛的文成公主。为公主在红山上建造了一座新的宫殿。这就是“布达拉宫”。经过公元1645年-1693年的重建，达赖十三世时期的扩建，形成了我们今天看到的这个规模。
The whole architectural complex includes three parts: the “Red Temple” in the middle is composed of Buddhism Hall, Sutra Hall, Dalai’s Stupa Hall and Xiang Hall. The western Ji Yuanman Grand Hall is Xiang Hall of Stupa Hall of Dalai Lama Ⅴ and is also the biggest hall in Potala Palace with the area of 725 square meters and there are frescoes on the inner walls. 整个建筑群分三个部分：中间是红色的“红宫”，它是由佛堂、经堂、达赖的灵塔殿和享殿组成。西有寂圆满大殿，是五世达赖喇嘛灵塔殿的享堂，也是布达拉宫最大的殿堂，面积725平方米，内壁绘满壁画。
The “White Temple” is on the east of Red Temple. It is white and is the place where Dalai Lamas work and reside. The biggest hall of White Temple in Potala Palace is the eastern Ji Yuanman Grand Hall with the area of 717 square meters. This is the place of important religious and political activities where Dalai Lama enthrones and attends grand ceremonies. Though it is also white on the west, it is where Buddhist monks live. 红宫东边是“白宫”。它是白色的，白宫是达赖办公、居住的地方。布达拉宫白宫最大的殿堂是东有寂圆满大殿，面积717平方米。这里是达赖喇嘛坐床、亲政大典等重大宗教和政治活动的场所。西边虽然也是白色的，但那里是僧人居住的地方。
The walls of Potala Palace are very thick, 2-5 meters thick. There are over 1,000 rooms and halls in total in the Potala Palace, made of stones and wood.
布达拉宫的墙很厚，有2-5米厚。整座布达拉宫有1000多间房子和殿堂，是用石头和木头修成的。
The building extends from the mountain foot to the mountain top and almost covers the whole peak. There are five high golden roofs on the top of Tibetan geometric plane of the palace halls.
They spangle under the sun and people can see it dozens of kilometers away. 建筑从山下直到山顶几乎占了整座山峰。藏式的平面殿顶上有五个高高的金顶。在阳光下显得金光闪闪，人们从几十公里以外就能看到它。
The Potala Palace collects and keeps very rich historical relics among which there are frescoes of an area of 2,500 square meters and over 10,000 Tang Ka (scroll paintings). What the frescoes show is the period of history in which Sontzen Gampo assigned his chancellor Lu Dongzan to go to Chang-an to propose marriage to the Tang Dynasty. 布达拉宫收藏和保存了极为丰富的历史文物，其中有2500余平方米的壁画，上万幅唐卡（卷轴画）。这些壁画表现的正是松赞干布派他的大臣禄东赞去长安向唐朝求婚的那段历史。 There are also nearly 1,000 Buddhist pagodas and over 10,000 statues in the Potala Palace. This stupa of Dalai Ⅴ is 14.85 meters high and it cost 52 tons of silver, 5.5 tons of gold and 15,000 pearls, agates and gems in total.
布达拉宫有近千座佛塔，上万座塑像。这座五世达赖的灵塔高达14.85米，共花费了52吨白银、5.5吨黄金和15000多颗珍珠、玛瑙和宝石。
The Potala Palace collects a large number of Beiye sutra, GanZhuer sutra and other precious Buddhist classics and records, as well as gold volumes, jade volumes, gold seal, gold and silver wares, jade articles, porcelain wares, enamels, brocades and handicraft articles bestowed to Dalai Lama by the emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties to show the relationship of Tibetan local government and the central government. 宫内还收藏了大量贝叶经、甘珠尔经等珍贵经文典集以及表明历史上西藏地方政府与中央政府关系的明清两代皇帝封赐达赖喇嘛的金册、玉册、金印以及金银器、玉器、瓷器、珐琅和锦缎品等工艺品。
The Potala Palace was announced by the Chinese State Department as the first lot of important nation-level preservation units of cultural relics in 1961. It was formally listed in the “World Heritage Directory” by UNESCO in 1994. It is the valuable heritage and wealth of the whole mankind.
布达拉宫1961年由中国国务院颁布为第一批全国重点文物保护单位。1994年被联合国教科文组织作为文化遗产，正式列入《世界遗产名录》。它是全人类的宝贵遗产和财富。
