雪梅：小李, 那是什么桥？
同事：你说得是远处的那座桥吧。
同事：哦，那是银锭桥。
雪梅：“银锭桥”，这是很有名的桥吧，名字很熟。
同事：当然了，这桥还是北京一景儿呢。它是前海和后海的分界线。
雪梅：后海就是什刹海吧？
同事：对。你看这个饭馆，这是北京有名的烤肉馆，下次我请你尝尝这儿的烤肉。
雪梅：好啊！这是不是居民区？
同事：对，这里的胡同和民居保留了过去的样子，总有人来这参观呢。
雪梅：这里的酒吧也是住在这里的人开的吗？
同事：只有几家是，大部分都不是。
雪梅：我发现后海的气氛很独特，生活气息很浓。
同事：其实后海一带以前以四合院闻名，酒吧都是近几年才兴起的。
雪梅：这里自然风景好，又有浓厚的文化气息，是个开酒吧的好地方。
同事：这里的酒吧，文化味儿都比较足。
雪梅：那我们快找一家进去看看吧。
同事：这家吧。这家装潢很特别，还有二楼，可以在上边看风景。
雪梅：行，听你的。
（在酒吧里）
（进门）
同事：雪梅你看，这里的装饰既古老又现代，很有自己的风格。
雪梅：嗯，酒吧的主人一定特别有品味。
同事：没错，听说是搞艺术的。
雪梅：怪不得呢！
（吧台）
同事：咱们先买酒，一会儿上去喝。雪梅，你要什么酒？
雪梅：你呢，想喝点儿什么？
同事：我要一杯啤酒吧。
雪梅：那我和你一样，也来一杯啤酒。
同事：（对服务员）两杯啤酒，麻烦您给送到楼上去。
（二楼）
雪梅：这儿真不错，让人心情舒畅，感觉好极了！
同事：嗯，的确是个休闲的好地方。
雪梅：我觉得这里的夏天特别美。
同事：冬天也不错啊！水面结成了冰，一片银白。
雪梅：是吗，那应该另有一番景色。
同事：没错，我们冬天一定再来一次。
雪梅：好，好，我还打算到这儿采访呢。
同事：哎，这个创意不错，别忘了这里还有我的功劳呢！

Xue Mei: What’s the name of that bridge?
Colleague: That’s “Yin Ding Bridge”.
Xue Mei: “Yin Ding Bridge”. This must be a famous bridge. The name rings a
bell.
Colleague: Of course. This bridge is part of the scenery in Beijing. It is
also the boundary between Qianhai and Houhai.
Xue Mei: Houhai is also called Shishahai, right?
Colleague: Yes. See the restaurant! This is one of Beijing’s most famous
barbeque restaurants. You should come here when you get a chance.
Xue Mei: Is this a residential area?
Colleague: Yes. They’ve kept the hutongs and residences here just like in
the old days. Some people come here just to see them.
Xue Mei: Are the bars here run by the local residents as well?
Colleague: Some of them are run by the residents, but most of them are not.
Xue Mei: Houhai has a very special ambience. It has a strong feeling of real
life.
Colleague: In fact the area of Houhai was famous for its Siheyuan before. The
bars at Houhai have only sprung up and become popular in the past
couple of years.
Xue Mei: The natural scenery is beautiful, plus there’s a strong cultural
ambience. It’s really a great place for the bar business.
Colleague: The bars here all have a cultural ambience.
Xue Mei: Let’s find one and go in.
Colleague: How about this one? The furnishings are very special，and you can
enjoy the view from upstairs.
Xue Mei: You decide.
Xue Mei: It’s very quiet here.
Colleague: We can order drinks first and have them upstairs.
Xue Mei: Sure! The bar owners have good taste.
Colleague: I hear they’re artists.
Xue Mei: No wonder.
Colleague: What would you like to drink?
Xue Mei: What would you like?
Colleague: I’d like a bottled beer.
Xue Mei: I’ll have the same as you, a bottle of beer.
Colleague: Would you please take them upstairs?
Xue Mei: This is really nice and very relaxing. I feel great.
Colleague: It’s a great place to relax.
Xue Mei: It’s traditional but also modern. When your uncle gets home I’ll
definitely bring him here.
Colleague: It’s very pretty, especially in summer.
Xue Mei: I think winter must be beautiful, too! The lake frozen over，all silvery white.
Colleague: I haven’t been here in winter. It should be nice, too.
Xue Mei: I plan to come here for an interview.
Colleague: That’s a good idea. Don’t forget to give me credit for bringing
you here！ |
