Hello，大家好，我是娜塔莉。
今天我們繼續閱讀：“ Holiday in Japan”
Let's review the story first.
Yoko and Rio took the family sightseeing.
They went to see a beautiful temple.
And they had lunch together.
Then it was time to go back to the hotel.
But on the way to the station, they lost Yoko and Rio.
At last, they found them at the station.
The next day, the family set off on the bullet train to go Kyoto.
On the train, the conductor inspected tickets and pointed out of the window.
"You are lucky today!" she said.
Biff looked out and gasped.
What did they see？
And what will happen next.
Let's find out together.
turn to page 22
In the distance was Mount Fuji.
In the distance 在遠處
在遠處，那是富士山。
富士山位于本州島中南部，東距東京約80千米，跨越在日本靜岡縣與山梨縣之間。在日本人的心中，它是一座蘊含著自然魅力，優美、莊嚴的神山。2013年6月，被第37屆世界遺產委員會列入世界文化遺產名錄“富士山-神圣之地和藝術啟迪之源”。
"We are lucky," said Dad. "It's a clear day.
It's not often you can see it."
爸爸說：我們很幸運，今天是大晴天。
不總是可以看到富士山的。
富士山據說不是每次都能看到山頂，必須是萬里無云的大晴天才能看到。
特別是從 靜岡、山梨、東京 等那些地區遠看富士山，更是難得了。
The mountain was capped with snow.
"It's an amazing shape," said Biff.
富士山頂部被雪覆蓋。
Biff 說：這是個很棒的形狀。
富士山山體高聳入云，山巔白雪皚皚，就像一把懸空倒掛的扇子，因此它也有 “玉扇” 之稱，是個非常棒的形狀呢。
"It is an active volcano," said Dad."That's why it is that shape."
"It won't erupt, will it?" asked Chip.
"The last time was in 1708," said Dad, "so I don't think so."
爸爸說：它是個活火山，所以是這樣的形狀。
Chip 問：它不會爆發吧？
爸爸說：最近一次爆發是在 1708年，所以我想不會。
富士山山頂的火山口，一共噴發過18次，距離現在最近的一次噴發是在1707年（這是我在百度上查到的年份）。雖然目前是處于休眠狀態，但隨時會有噴氣現象。

In Kyoto, the hotel was different.
It was a traditional Japanese inn.
在京都，酒店很不一樣。
是個傳統的日式賓館。
"I love the bedroom," said Biff. "It is so different from the other hotel.
We must take lots of pictures to show Gran."
Biff 說：我喜歡這個臥室。它和其它的酒店不一樣。
我們必須拍很多照片給 Gran 看。
Excactly, it's so different from the other hotel.
But, what's the difference?
Can you see the bed in the bedroom?
No. There is no bed.
Then, Where would they sleep?
Let's keep reading.
"We are going to sleep on these mats called tatami mats," said Dad.
"But on mattresses," said Mum.
爸爸說：我們要睡在這些叫做 “榻榻米” 的墊子上。
媽媽說：但是要睡在床墊上。
mattresses /ˈmætrɪsɪz/ 床墊，
床墊在就放在那個很大的壁櫥 a very big closet。
這樣很節省空間哦。
白天，這樣的榻榻米房間可以做客廳用，
晚上搖身一變，就能當作臥室睡覺了。
日式的旅館內，還有一個很不一樣的地方，
"And there's a wooden bath. It's to soak in.
You must shower before you use it."
還有，那兒有個木頭做的浴缸，它是用來浸泡的。
你們必須洗好淋浴，再去浸泡。
next page
It was time to explore Kyoto.
"Kyoto used to be the capital city of Japan," said Dad.
"One of its most beautiful buildings is the Golden Pavilion."
是時候探索京都了。
爸爸說：京都曾經是日本的首都。
在京都，最漂亮的建筑應該是金閣寺了。
這個金閣寺，本名應該是叫 “鹿苑寺”。
這個名字來源于寺院的創立者室町幕府3代將軍足利義滿的法號：鹿苑院殿。
這樣說你可能很陌生，但是你有沒有看過《聰明的一休》？
（媽呀，真是一部暴露年齡的電視啊！）
一休小和尚的故事，就是在這里取材的。
故事里的足利將軍的原型，就是足利義滿。
因為寺里有一座內外都貼滿了金箔的三層樓閣建筑（舍利殿），它也被稱為金閣，所以，包括舍利殿在內的寺院整體也就被稱為金閣寺了。
平成6年（1994年）12月，鹿苑寺全境作為 “古都京都的文化財” 的一部分被聯合國教科文組織指定為世界文化遺產中的重要歷史建筑。
游客是不能進入參觀金閣的哦。
金閣寺所在的那個湖，叫做 “鏡湖池”，如果是晴天，一池綠波中倒映出的金閣寺璀璨壯麗。
好了，回到繪本。
"Oh wow! It really is beautiful.
Can we go inside?" said Kipper.
"I don't know," said Mum.
哦，哇哦！它真的很漂亮。
Kipper 說：我們能進去嗎？
媽媽說：我不知道。
next page
A lady with a dog heard what Mum had said.
"It is not possible to go inside," she said.
"Do you know that it is covered in real gold?"
一個帶著狗的女士聽到了媽媽的話。
他說：它是不能進入的哦。
你們知道，它的是被真的金子覆蓋的嗎？
哈哈，金閣寺的內外都貼滿了真的金箔哦。
In a part of the garden was a pot.
The kind lady told them it was lucky to throw coins in it.
"May you always have good luck," she said.
在花園那里，有一個盆。
這個熱心的女士告訴他們，如果投幣進去將會帶來幸運。
她說：也許你們永遠會幸運哦。
這個地方應該是 “投幣池” 啦，其實金閣寺景區真的很小，
總門——湖邊——金閣——鯉魚石——投幣池——白蛇，完！
最喜歡它的門票，是一張護身符，嘻嘻。
對了，附近有個龍安寺，可以一起參觀，也是一個很有名的世界遺產。
哦，還是回到繪本，我們翻到下一頁 next page
At last it was time to fly home.
"I'll never forget our holiday in Japan," said Kipper.
"We are lucky to have seen all those places in Tokyo and Kyoto," said Biff.
最后，該飛回家了。
Kipper 說：我永遠不會忘記在日本的假期的。
Biff 說：我們很幸運能見到東京和京都的那些地方。
Gran met them at the airport.
"We have had a wonderful holiday," said Biff.
"We can't wait to tell you all about it.
Thank you so much, Gran."
Gran 在機場接他們。
Biff 說：我們度過了一個很棒的假期。
我們迫不及待的想要和你分享。
太感謝你了，Gran。

The children spoke to Rio online.
"We still remember the Japanese you taught us, Rio." said Chip.
"Arigato - thank you!" Biff, Chip and Kipper all said together.
taught 是 teach 的過去式，是 “教” 的意思。
孩子們在線上和 Rio 說話。
Chip 說：Rio，我們仍然記得你叫我們的那句日語。
Biff，Chip 和 Kipper 一起說：Arigato 謝謝。
Ok, That's all for today.
好了，這就是故事的全部內容。

You are the best gran in the world."

"It's called a yukata."
洋子說：Rio 正在學英語。

"Tokyo is a very busy city.
It will take us about an hour to get there."
山田先生說：現在讓我們去你們的賓館吧。
京都是個非常繁忙的城市。

"Tomorrow, Yoko and Rio will be happy to take your sightseeing."
當他們看到賓館的時候感到非常的吃驚。
它非常的高。

We'd never get you out!"
他們來到一個巨大玩具店。
Kipper 說：哦，哇哦！我們能進去嗎？

They went to see a beautiful temple.
"It is the oldest temple in Tokyo." said Yoko.
"It's lovely." said Chip.
他們去參觀一個非常漂亮的寺廟。
洋子說：這是京都最老的寺廟。

Paper lanterns hung at the entrance.
People stood in front of the temple to pray.
"Who are the men in robes?" asked Kipper.
"They are monks." said Yoko.
紙燈籠懸掛在入口處。
人們站在寺廟的前面祈禱。
Kipper 問：這些穿長袍的人是誰？
洋子說：他們是和尚。
There were little shops near the temple.
"Look at these lovely fans." said Biff. "Let's buy one for Gran."
"That's a good idea." said Mum.
寺廟附近有小商店。
Biff 說：看那些可愛的扇子。我們買一把給 Gran 吧。

洋子說：是時候吃午飯了。這些叫做便當盒。
你覺得你能用筷子嗎？
Kipper 說：食物看起來太有趣了，我想試試看用筷子吃。
At last it was time to go back to the hotel.
But on the way to the station, they lost Yoko and Rio.
"Oh dear," said Mum. "We had better try and find the station by ourselves."
最后，該回賓館了。
但是在去車站的路上，他們弄丟了洋子和 Rio。
媽媽說：哦，親愛的。我們最好試著自己找到車站。
"Which way do we go?" said Mum.
At that moment, some school children stopped.
They were excited about Kipper's fair hair.
"Do you speak English?" asked Kipper.
媽媽說：我們應該走哪條路？
就在那時，一些學校里的孩子停了下來。
他們看到 Kipper 的淺色頭發很激動。
Kipper 問：你們會說英語嗎？
"Is it this way or that way?" said Mum.
"Don't worry, Mum." said Kipper. "My new friends will take us to the station."
"We use the train every day," they said.
媽媽說：是這條路還是那條路呢？
Kipper 說：不要擔心，我的新朋友們將帶我們去車站。
他們說：我們每天都乘坐地鐵。
They found Yoko and Rio at the station.
"Thank goodness you found your way here," said Yoko.
"Thanks to my new friends.
I'm going to write to them when I get home." said Kipper.
他們在地鐵站找到了洋子和 Rio。
洋子說：謝天謝地，你們找到來這的路。
Kipper 說：多虧了我的新朋友們。
我回去后會給他們寫信。

第二天，全家出發，乘坐子彈頭火車前往京都。

"You are lucky today!" she said.
Biff looked out and gasped.
在火車上，乘務員檢查車票。
當她走到孩子那里，她笑著并指著窗外。
