A: So Hana, I'm planning my first trip to Japan, but since I've never been there I'm not really sure what I should do. Is there anything you can help me with?

哈娜，我计划去日本旅行，可是因为我从来没去过日本，这是我第一次去，我不太确定应该做什么。你能不能帮帮我?

B: Well first you should definitely go to a temple or a shrine. It describes Japan. And there are many famous temples all over Japan. So you should definitely visit one.

首先，你一定要去寺庙或神社。那是日本的代表。日本各地有许多非常著名的寺庙。你一定要去看看。

A: Okay, that sounds really interesting. Anything else that I should try? How about for example, Japanese food?

好，这听起来很有意思。其他我还应该尝试些什么?日本的饮食怎么样?

B: Well Japanese food is very famous, for example, fish like sushi or sashimi, Japanese people love it, and so does foreign people.

哦，日本的食物非常有名，比如寿司和生鱼片之类的，日本人非常喜欢吃，当然外国人也很喜欢。

A: Yeah, especially because sushi is getting really, really popular everywhere now. So I'm really looking forward to trying proper Japanese sushi. How about anything else, any like cultural experience or something that Japanese people do every day?

嗯，现在寿司在各个地方都很受欢迎。我期待尝尝正宗的日本寿司。那文化体验呢，还有日本人的日常生活呢?

B: Well you should try and go to an onsen, it's a hot spring, it's a big bath where you can all go. It'll be different and it would be kind of weird at first. But I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

你应该去感受下日式温泉，那相当于大的浴盆，可以容下很多人。那非常与众不同，一开始你可能会感觉有点怪异。不过我确定你会喜欢的。

A: Why do you say it's going to be weird?

你为什么说会有些怪异?

B: Well a lot of people at first, they're embarrassed to be naked in front of people. But once you get used to it, you'll enjoy it and you would want to go every day.

因为一开始有很多人感觉在别人面前脱光衣服很尴尬。不过一旦你习惯以后，你会享受的，而且你会想每天都泡温泉。

A: Yeah. I'm not sure if I'm okay with being naked in front of people. But if you say that I have to try it I probably will. Do you have any big celebrations or any like big events that I can see in Japan?

嗯，我不确定我是不是能接受在其他人面前脱光衣服。不过如果你说我应该尝试一下的话，那我可能会去的。有没有什么我在日本可以参加的重要庆典或是重要的活动?

B: Well, in Japan there are many festivals all around the year. For example, in the summertime there is a huge festival where there is parades and you get to see the fireworks and you can see people in their traditional yukata. And you can try lots of food too.

日本全年都有许多庆典。比如，夏天有一场盛大的庆典，届时会有庆祝游行，你可以看到烟花，还可以看到人们穿上传统的和服。而且你还可以品尝很多美食。

A: Oh, that sounds really interesting, especially because I'm going in summer. Is there anything I shouldn't do in Japan or that I should be really careful with?

哦，听上去真有趣，因为我正好要夏天去日本旅行。那在日本有没有不应该做的事，或者我应该注意的事情?

B: Well, Japan is a very quiet country and a very polite country. So you shouldn't be too loud or you should be polite to the older people.

日本是一个非常宁静的国家，也是一个非常注重礼貌的国家。所以你不应该大声说话，对待老人要有礼貌。

A: Well yeah, I'm trying to keep that in mind, because especially my friends are quite loud. Thank you very much for the tips.

嗯，我要记住这点，因为我的朋友们嗓门都很大。非常谢谢你提供的小贴士。

B: You're welcome.

不客气。
