I wanted it to go fast."

　　托德：对计划去新西兰旅行的人们，你有什么建议?请你推荐三至四个新西兰必去景点。

　　Monica: Oh, OK, three or four places you must see. Well, it depends what you're looking forreally. I think a lot of people that come to New Zealand enjoy an outdoor lifestyle, so there's lotsof outdoor activities and places you can go to to enjoy in New Zealand. Personally, I find theSouth Island of New Zealand very scenic in comparison to the North Island, so for me, amust-do is the West Coast of the South Island. It's very pretty.

　　莫妮卡：哦，好，三至四个必去景点。这要取决于你对什么感兴趣。我认为大部分来新西兰游玩的游客喜欢户外生活方式，新西兰有许多户外运动，也有很多可以享受户外运动的好去处。我个人认为与新西兰北岛相比，新西兰南岛的景色更美，我认为必去的景点是南岛的西海岸，那里非常漂亮。

　　Todd: The West Coast.

　　托德：西海岸。

　　Monica: Yeah. In particular, there's two glaciers. Franz Joseph and Fox Glaciers, which arevery stunning to look at, and you can either have a look at them by foot, or you can pay for ahelicopter ride that takes you up and shows you an aerial view of them.

　　莫妮卡：对。特别是那里的两个冰川。弗朗兹·约瑟夫冰川和福克斯冰川，这两座冰川非常迷人，游客可以步行去观赏冰川，也可以乘坐直升飞机从上空鸟瞰冰川。

　　Todd: So what else would you recommend for New Zealand? What other places should peoplesee?

　　托德：还有其他的新西兰景点推荐吗?其他值得一去的景点?

　　Monica: I think if you want to see ... let me think ... rural New Zealand. It's quite a nice ideato drive the length of the country and then you can see the interesting farming that is takingplace, in particular in the South Island. The lower part of the South Island, and a lot of theNorth Island as well. There's a lot of sheep in New Zealand and there's a lot of cattle as well,so I think it's always interesting to go for a drive to see that firsthand.

　　莫妮卡：我想，如果你想看……让我想一下，如果大家对新西兰郊区感兴趣，那开车游览是个不错的主意，沿途你们会看到南岛地区有趣的务农场景。南岛的下端和北岛的大部分地区也有农场。新西兰有许多羊和牛，我认为开车沿途欣赏这种景色非常有意思。

　　Todd: So, you just start up in Auckland in the north and drive all the way down south?
