Visiting the British Museum 參觀大英博物館
Randall and Misty are visiting the British Museum on a trip to London.
R: The artwork and artifacts in this museum are incredible.
M: I know. I can't believe there is such a wide collection of pieces from different parts of the world.
R: Yeah, we've seen sculptures from ancient Egypt and Greece, as well as carvings from North and South America.
M: I don't think we'll be able to see all of the exhibits in a single day. I wish we had more time.
R: You're right. I heard there are thousands of items on displays here.
M: Do you think we should come back tomorrow?
R: I'm not sure. There are still lots of other great sites around London.
M: Oh, look at this. It's a brochure for virtual tours of the museum.
(Misty picks up a brochure and shows it to Randall.)
R: That's so cool. Look! We can take a virtual tour of the modern artwork showcase that we skipped this morning.
M: Nice. Let's do that once we're home from our trip.
R: OK. But what about the rest of the afternoon? It's 4:00 p.m. now, so we've
still got an hour to wander around the museum until it closes.
M: Hey, let's check out the exhibit on Northern India. That looks really cool.
R: Great idea!

蘭德爾和蜜絲緹在倫敦旅行時參觀大英博物館。
蘭德爾:這個博物館的藝術品和古代器物都太驚人了。
蜜絲緹:真的。我不敢相信有這麼多來自世界各地作品的收藏。
蘭德爾:對啊,我們看到了古埃及和希臘的雕像,還有北美和南美的雕刻品。
蜜絲緹:我覺得我們無法在一天内看完所有展覽品。真希望我們有更多時間。
蘭德爾:妳說的對。我聽說這裡有數千個展覽品。
蜜絲緹:你覺得我們明天要再回來嗎?
蘭德爾:不知道耶。倫敦還有很多其他很棒的景點。
蜜絲緹:喔,你看這個。這是博物館虛擬導覽的手冊。 (蜜絲緹拿起一本手冊給蘭德爾看。)
蘭德爾:這個太酷了。妳看!我們可以在虛擬導覽中看到我們今天早上錯過的現代藝術展覽。
蜜絲緹:太好了。我們旅行結束回到家時就來體驗看看。
蘭德爾:好。但下午剩下的時間呢?現在是下午四點,所以我們距離休館還有一個小時可以在博物館閒逛。
蜜絲緹:嘿,我們去看看北印度的展覽吧。那個看起來很酷。
蘭德爾:好主意!
