情景對話1：
一群朋友一起去郊外放鬆遊玩。
Ann: It's ten more miles to the destination.
離目的地還有十里多。
Ben: Oh, dear! But it looks ten thousand more. My legs don't seem to be mine now.
什麼！看上去簡直是萬里長征。我的腿已經不聽使喚了。
Mike: Come on, Ben! Can you see the blue sky and green mountains? And the fresh air! What is to be afraid of if you can enjoy what you can't get at work?
得了，本。看見這藍天、這青山了嗎？還有這麼清新的空氣！要是能享受到這些上班時享受不到的東西，還有什麼可擔心的？
Ben: Mike, I decide to forget about my work and face up to this challenging trip.
邁克，我決心不去想工作了，迎接這次旅行的挑戰。
Ann: That's right, Ben. I'm glad you are man enough. The scenery is so beautiful, and it's really worth our effort.
這就對了，本，像個男子漢。風景多好啊，再累都值。
Ben: I think so.
確實是。
Mike: Everything here is new and refreshing and seems to be mixed into one. You can hardly tell who's who and which is which.
這裡的一切都那麼清新、和諧，彼此交融。
Ann: That's why I love outing. It makes you feel so close to the nature. Besides, you'll easily get energetic again.
這就是我喜歡戶外遠足的原因。它使你感覺是和自然那麼親近，讓你覺得一下子精神煥發。

你說得對。
Notes：
1 Mike, I decide to forget about my work and face up to this challenging trip.
