您注意到了吗？虽然元宵节灯会在明天举行，但是利奥却使用了一
般现在式。这种用法在英语中很普遍。但要注意的是你一定要在句
子中包括一个表示未来时间的明确词汇。另外，在这个句子中还有
一个介词ON , 它必须用在一个时间名词的前面。The festival is on tomorrow
The parade is on next Wednesday.
The tour is on at nine. 
Leo: Now, what did you have in mind? A full day tour?
Jack: Yes.
Mona: The zoo looks good. I love animals.
Jack: But we can go to the zoo anywhere, Mona. Leo, what’s
something we can only see in this city?
Leo: Well, you’re in luck. The Lantern Festival parade is on tomorrow.
It’s very colourful.
Mona: Is it near the harbour? I’d love to see the harbour.
Jack: We have harbours in Australia, Mona.
第十五课: 讨论旅游内容。
Lesson 15: Discussing a Tour
请注意听下面这部份对话中出现的生词和新的短语。
Leo: Perhaps this will interest you. It’s a dolphin watch harbour
cruise.
Jack: How much will that set us back, Leo?
Leo: As you can see, the price is very reasonable.
Mona: Oh this looks good.

Leo: It’s going to be fine and sunny tomorrow.
Leo: Perfect for a cruise.
Jack: I think I’d like to see the parade.
Leo: You can do both! The cruise takes four hours and the parade
doesn’t start until after sunset.
Jack: Sounds good to me. 

利奥: 也许您会对这个活动感兴趣，那就是乘船观看海豚。
Leo: Perhaps this will interest you. It’s a dolphin watch harbour
cruise.
杰克: 这个活动收费多少钱呢，利奥？
Jack: How much will that set us back, Leo?
利奥: 您也看到了，这个活动的收费是非常合理的。
Leo: As you can see, the price is very reasonable.
蒙纳: 这个活动看起来不错呀。
Mona: Oh this looks good.
利奥: 明天的天气晴朗，非常适合乘船游览。
Leo: It’s going to be fine and sunny tomorrow. Perfect for a cruise.
杰克: 我还是想去看元宵灯会。
Jack: I think I’d like to see the parade.
利奥: 可以二者兼顾。乘船观海豚活动只要四个小时，而元宵
灯会要到太阳落山之后才会开始。
Leo: You can do both! The cruise takes four hours and the parade
doesn’t start until after sunset.
杰克: 我想这是个好主意呀。
Jack: Sounds good to me. 

利奥: 也许您会对这个活动感兴趣。

Perhaps this will interest you.
Perhaps this will interest you. 

杰克: 这个活动收费多少钱呢，利奥？
Jack: How much will that set us back, Leo?
利奥: 您也看到了，这个活动的收费是非常合理的。
Leo: As you can see, the price is very reasonable.
在询问收费情况时，杰克用了一句在澳洲非常流行的说法，那就是
HOW MUCH WILL THAT SET US BACK？ 而利奥在形容收费标准时则使
用了REASONABLE 这个词，表示这样的收费标准既不低廉，也不过
高，而是属于合理的范畴之内。
Reasonable.
Reasonable.
The price is very reasonable.
The price is very reasonable.
As you can see…
As you can see…
As you can see, the price is very reasonable.
As you can see, the price is very reasonable.
为了向客人进一步推销乘船观看海豚的活动，利奥还引用了第二天
的天气预报。不言而喻，如果你在与客人讨论未来的旅游行程时能
够附带提供相关的天气预报，其效果就是有可能会对客人选择哪一
个行程产生影响。值得注意的是利奥在这样做的时候使用了两个很
有效的形容词， COLOURFUL 五彩缤纷，和PERFECT 绝好的，非常
适合的。接下来就让我们一起来做一些练习，晴朗天气。
