Katie: So imagine that I was going to go to Venezuela, what are three things that I absolutely have to see if I go there?
凱蒂:如果我打算去委內瑞拉旅行,那哪三個地方是我一定要去遊覽的?
Gilda: Well, it depends where you go. But if you go to Caracas, the capital, definitely visit the wealthy side of the city. You can go shopping at very nice shopping malls. And also, you have to go to the disco. There are so many nightclubs.
吉爾達:這要取決於你去哪個城市。如果你去首都加拉加斯,那一定要去富人區。你可以去大型購物中心購物。另外,你還要去迪斯科舞廳。加拉加斯有很多***。
Katie: Nice.
凱蒂:不錯。
Gilda: Enjoy salsa. Yeah. What else? Oh. Well, we are very close to the beach side from the city. So like normally, every weekend, people in Caracas, the capital go to the beach and spend the day there after having – after spending the whole night dancing, so.
吉爾達:享受薩爾薩舞帶來的樂趣。嗯,還有什麼?哦,加拉加斯離海灘很近。通常,加拉加斯人在跳了一整晚舞之後,會在週末去海灘放鬆。
Katie: That sounds amazing.
凱蒂:聽起來太棒了。
Gilda: It's like connecting two days.
吉爾達:這是連著兩天的活動。
Katie: Amazing.
凱蒂:不錯。
Gilda: Yeah. If you go to the south, definitely you should visit the Canaima National Park. It's a famous park because it has the highest waterfall in the world. It's called Angel Falls.
吉爾達:嗯。如果你去南部,那你一定要去卡奈瑪國家公園。這個公園非常有名,因為那裡有全世界落差最高的瀑布——安赫爾瀑布。
Katie: Yeah.
凱蒂:好。
Gilda: Yeah. So, and obviously, if you go there, you will get to see how the indigenous people live and try some of their food. Yeah. Arepa, which is mandatory if you got to Venezuela, you have to eat that.
吉爾達:當然,如果你去那裡遊玩,你可以去看看土著居民的生活,品嚐他們的傳統美食。你要是去委內瑞拉旅行,一定要嚐嚐玉米餅。
Katie: What's that?
凱蒂:那是什麼?
Gilda: It's made of corn, yes corn – it's sort of like corn flour. It's only in Venezuela, you can find it. And it's daily breakfast. So like I cannot live without arepas every day. I have to eat it.
吉爾達:那是用玉米麵做的美食。是隻有委內瑞拉才有的食物。玉米餅是委內瑞拉人每天都吃的早餐。可以說,如果不吃玉米餅,我就活不下去。我每天都要吃玉米餅。
Katie: So is it like a sandwich or...?
凱蒂:是像三明治一樣還是……?
Gilda: It looks like a hamburger.
吉爾達:看上去像漢堡一樣。
Katie: Okay.
凱蒂:好。
Gilda: And in the middle, like you put stuff in. It could be anything you want; cheese, meat, whatever you want. So there are so many styles of arepas. Yeah.
吉爾達:中間可以夾其他食物。可以夾任何你想吃的東西,比如乳酪、肉,什麼都可以。所以,有很多種玉米餅。
Katie: Sounds amazing. And speaking of food, what other Venezuelan food could you recommend?
凱蒂:聽起來很不錯。說到食物,委內瑞拉還有什麼食物可以推薦的?
Gilda: We also eat a lot of empanadas. I think you can find those in all the countries in South America. But every country has their original style.
吉爾達:我們很喜歡吃餡餅。雖然餡餅在南美洲國家很常見,但是每個國家都有自己獨特的味道。
Katie: What's that?
凱蒂:那是什麼?
Gilda: It's also made from corn flour, and it's baked. Some of them could be fried. And they have meat or chicken inside. It's very tasty. And it's always like a breakfast thing. Yeah. Also, if you go there during Christmas, you can try hallaca. It's a traditional dish in Christmas. And it has all the four types of meat. It has pork, it has chicken, beef, fish, plus vegetables. It's very tasty. I know it sounds a little bit like oh, all together, but it's very tasty but you get a lot of weight after Christmas.
吉爾達:這也是用玉米麵做的,不過要經過烘焙。有些地方會煎炸。裡面的餡料是肉或雞肉。非常美味。這也是早餐食物。另外,如果你在聖誕節期間去委內瑞拉,你可以嚐嚐芭蕉粽。這是聖誕節的傳統美食。餡料有四種肉。分別用豬肉、雞肉、牛肉、魚肉搭配蔬菜。芭蕉粽非常好吃。我知道聽起來只是把各種食物放在一起,但真的很好吃,所以聖誕節之後人們的體重會增加很多。
Katie: I can imagine. That's what Christmas is for, right? Putting on weight.
凱蒂:我可以想象。聖誕節就是這樣的,不是嗎?體重增加。
Gilda: Yeah, exactly. So everybody in January, new resolutions, losing weight.
吉爾達:對,沒錯。所有人在1月時許下的新年決心都是減肥。
Katie: Sounds about right. Now I'm really hungry.
凱蒂:聽起來沒錯。現在我感覺很餓。
A Look at Venezuela 縱覽委內瑞拉
Katie: So I don't really know much about Venezuela in terms of the different regions and things. So could you tell me something about it?
凱蒂:我不太瞭解委內瑞拉的各個地區。你能介紹一下嗎?
Gilda: Well, in terms of weather we have only two seasons. We have a rainy season and the rest is dry. But so, you get to enjoy the four seasons in a way if you go to the west side of the country. We have like high mountains and you can see some snow and also, like it's a little bit cold over there. But if you go to the middle, in the middle of the country, the center, is hot. It's quite hot and dry. So it's where the – it's like the cowboys' area in Venezuela. So a lot of horses and they eat a lot of meat. In a little bit of north, in facing the Caribbean Sea, is the capital, Caracas. There, we have a very nice weather. I guess, that's the reason why it's the capital, maybe because the weather is really nice. We can wear the same clothes the whole year around.
吉爾達:就天氣來說,委內瑞拉有兩個季節。一個是雨季,一個是旱季。如果你去委內瑞拉西部地區,你可以感受到四種季節。我們有高山區,在那裡你可以看到雪,所以那裡會有點兒冷。不過委內瑞拉中部地區很熱,準確的說是又熱又幹。所以,那裡就像委內瑞拉的牛仔區。那裡有很多馬,他們吃很多肉。在北部地區,面向加勒比海的地方是首都加拉加斯。首都的天氣很不錯。我想那就是加拉加斯成為首都的原因,因為天氣非常好。一年到頭都可以穿同樣的衣服。
Katie: Nice.
凱蒂:不錯。
Gilda: So we don't have to think about winter clothes or anything like that. You can wear shorts all the time. So it's really, really nice. Yeah.
吉爾達:我們不用穿冬季衣服。在加拉加斯你可以一年都穿短褲。所以說,那裡的天氣真的很好。

Katie: Still pretty hot though, right?
凱蒂:那也很熱了,對吧?
Gilda: It is but it's dry. It's not so humid. Even though we are close to the Caribbean Sea, it's not so humid. So it's a very nice weather. Yeah. I really like it. Yeah.
吉爾達:對,而且很乾。空氣溼度不大。雖然我們離加勒比海很近,但是空氣並不溼潤。所以,加拉加斯的天氣很不錯。我非常喜歡這種天氣。
Katie: So, outside of Caracas, are there any other famous cities in Venezuela?
凱蒂:除了加拉加斯,委內瑞拉還有其他著名城市嗎?
Gilda: Yes. There is one called Maracaibo. This is famous. It's the oil city. Venezuela is famous for having a lot of petroleum, and that's the city where all, most of the petroleum is concentrated and all the companies, oil companies. And since they have oil, the city is pretty modern and, yeah. So it's another major city in the country. There is another city that is kind of developing now is in the middle of the country. It's called Valencia. And also, it's famous because it has lots of industries and factories. So many people are moving there for job opportunities. And yeah, they have very nice places as well. Yeah.
吉爾達:有。馬拉開波這座城市也很有名。馬拉開波是石油城市。委內瑞拉因石油資源豐富而聞名,而石油主要分佈在馬拉開波,而且石油公司也聚集在這裡。因為擁有石油資源,所以馬拉開波非常現代化。是委內瑞拉另一座主要城市。另外,位於委內瑞拉中部的城市瓦倫西亞正在快速發展。瓦倫西亞因工業和工廠眾多而聞名。許多人前往瓦倫西亞尋找工作機會。而且這座城市有很多不錯的地方。

It's also very famous for occasion like to enjoy the summer at the fullest, and it's famous. That city has a lot of foreigners, visitors, yeah, all year around.
