Jay: Wow. Congratulations! I haven't been to Russia in my life. Do you have any idea what it is like there?
本:哇,祝贺你啊!我还没去俄罗斯旅游过呢,你知道那里是什么样子吗?
May: Yes, I have done some research yesterday. Russia has as many contrasting faces as its size would suggest. It has various cultures from gold leaf glitz to icy Siberian, from Soviet era monuments to urban culture.
梅:知道,我昨天做了调查。俄罗斯国士面积很大,所以有很多冲突面,那里有金箔的炫目,也有西伯利亚的冰雪,有苏联时代的纪念碑,也有城市文化。
