亲爱的爸爸妈妈。Dear Mum and Dad,

我们在湖南省和玲玲的叔叔一起度假，我在武陵源风景名胜区玩得很开心。We're spending some time off with Lingling's uncle in Hunan Province, and I'm having a wonderful time here in Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area,

它非常大，大约390平方公里，是一个由山脉、森林和河流组成的神奇之地。 It's very large, about three hundred and ninety square kilometres, and it's a magic land of mountains, forests and rivers,

它以其高大岩石的奇怪形状而闻名，一些人认为它们看起来像士兵，另一些人认为它们看起来像动物。 It's famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks, Some people think they look like soldiers, and others think they look like animals,

1979年，中国著名画家吴冠中为该地区画了一些美丽的画，在此之前，很少有人知道该地区。 Before Wu Guanzhong, a famous Chinese painter, painted some beautiful pictures of it in nineteen seventy-nine, few people knew about the area,

昨晚我们在一个小湖边露营，夜里，我听到一声巨响，好像有人在笑。Last night we camped by a small lake,During the night, I heard a loud noise, as if someone was laughing,

我叫醒了玲玲和她的叔叔，我问他们是什么声音，玲玲的叔叔告诉我们不要担心，然后离开帐篷去看看是什么声音。 I woke up Lingling and her uncle, and I asked them what the noise was,Lingling's uncle told us not to worry, and left the tent to find out what it was,

几分钟后，他让我们安静地出来，然后他指着森林，那是一只猴子。 After a few minutes, he told us to come out quietly,Then he pointed into the forest, It was a monkey,

当它看到我们时，它跳到树上，回到森林里。 When it saw us, it jumped up into the trees and went back into the forest,

今天早上我们乘缆车上了天子山，非常安全！从山顶望去，我们希望能看到湖泊和森林的美景，但我们只能透过云层看到山顶。This morning we took a cable car up Mount Tianzi—it was quite safe! From the top we hoped for a wonderful view of the lakes and forests, but we could only see the mountain tops through the clouds,

然后我们沿着小路走，经过树木、瀑布和植物，回到帐篷。 Then we walked down the path, past trees, waterfalls and plants back to our tent,

我从一棵植物上摘下一片叶子，但玲玲的叔叔告诉我要洗手，不要碰它，因为它很危险。 I pulled a leaf off a plant, but Lingling's uncle told me to wash my hands, and not to touch it, because it was dangerous,

他还说拔树叶是不对的，我们应该保护这里的一切，我感到很抱歉。 He also said that it was wrong to pull leaves and we should protect everything here,I felt sorry,

明天我们要去中国第二大淡水湖洞庭湖。Tomorrow we're going to the second largest fresh water lake in China, Dongting Lake,

我们下周回学校！希望你在这里！We'll go back to school next week! Wish you were here!
