迈克：如果我去纽约旅行，你会建议我做什么？Mari: It depends on which season went to visit, so I don't know if you went during the spring or summer time, I would suggest that you spend some time in Central Park. Go see sports. A lot of sporting events during the summer and there are a lot of events also in Central Park. There's outdoor theater and music concerts and stuff but if you went maybe in the wintertime, you should go see all the windows on Fifth Avenue that are decorated with very holiday themed decorations and Rockefeller Center is know for their big Christmas tree, and you just get a really fun feeling in New York City. Everyone's a little bit more nicer, and I don't know, I like all the seasons in New York City so it depends on which season you decide to visit.
马里：这要取决于你在哪个季节去纽约旅行，如果是春季或夏季去纽约游玩，那我建议你去中央公园看体育比赛。夏季有许多体育赛事，纽约中央公园也会举行多种赛事。还可以去露天剧场或参加户外音乐节，不过如果你冬天去，那可以去第五大道上观赏用节日主题饰装饰的橱窗，还可以去看洛克菲勒中心那颗著名的圣诞树，在纽约市可以玩得很开心。纽约市民都很友善，我喜欢纽约市的所有季节，如何游玩要取决于旅行季节。Mike: Ah, sounds great, so there's a lot of things to do in New York.
迈克：听起来太棒了，纽约有很多活动。Mari: Yeah.
马里：对。
