Benjamin: Hi, I'm Benjamin. Nice to meet you here. You look great.

Passenger: Thank you. Nice to meet you too. I'm John. Is this your first time to take a long-distance trip on plane.

Benjamin: No, this is the second time. But I also feel bad because of the lower pressure and the jet lag.

Passenger: Oh, I am sorry to hear that. Take it easy. It will be OK soon. You see, I take this long-hour plane frequently, but the jet lag still makes me uneasy.

Benjamin: Oh, that's too bad. Do you get a good knowledge of China?

Passenger: Yes, whenever I think about China, I'd see the Tian'an Men Square. China is a very beautiful country. And I've seen many landmarks in China but I like the Great Wall most.

Benjamin: All of the Chinese are proud of the Great Wall. And it was built before the Qin dynasty near Shan Haiguan-the First Pass in the World.

Passenger: Was it built before the Qin dynasty? I thought it was in the Ming dynasty.

Benjamin: No, before the Qin dynasty.

Passenger: Oh, yeah. Thought I am an American, I know quite a lot about China and I like Chinese tea very well.

Benjamin: Both the green tea and the black tea are good for our health. And I usually refresh myself with a cup of tea.

Passenger: Yeah, many of my friends like Chinese tea and whenever I go back to China, I'll take some Dragon-well green tea for them.

Benjamin: Do you like the Chinese traditional silk?

Passenger: I heard about it, but I don't have any clothes made from silk.

Benjamin: Go and pick some stuff. The price can always surprise foreign friends.

Passenger: Oh, I'm eager to have a try.

本杰明：你好，我叫本杰明。很高興見到你，你看起來氣色不錯(cuò)。

乘客：謝謝。很高興見到你。我叫約翰。這是你第一次乘坐長途飛機(jī)嗎？

本杰明：不，是第二次。但是我還是因?yàn)榈蛪汉蜁r(shí)差而感到難受。

乘客：噢，很抱歉。放輕松點(diǎn)，一會(huì)兒就會(huì)好的。你看，我經(jīng)常長時(shí)間乘坐飛機(jī)，但是時(shí)差還是讓我很難受。

本杰明：噢，真是不舒服。你了解中國嗎？

乘客：是的。一提到中國，我就想到天安門廣場(chǎng)。中國很美，我去過中國很多有代表性的地方，但是我最喜歡的是長城。

本杰明：所有中國人都以長城為驕傲，它建于秦朝之前，臨近天下第一關(guān)山海關(guān)。

乘客：是在秦朝之前修的嗎？我還以為是在明朝呢。

本杰明：不是，在秦朝以前。

乘客：噢，是吧。雖然我是個(gè)美國人，但是我對(duì)中國了解很多，我也很喜歡中國茶。

本杰明：紅茶和綠茶對(duì)身體都很好。我常喝杯茶提神。

乘客：是的，我的很多朋友都喜歡中國茶。每次到中國，我都會(huì)給他們帶一些龍井茶。

本杰明：你喜歡中國傳統(tǒng)的絲綢嗎？

乘客：聽說過，但是我沒有絲質(zhì)的衣服。

本杰明：去買一些試試，價(jià)格對(duì)外國朋友來說通常是個(gè)驚喜。

乘客：噢，期待試一試。
