王渊源：这里真不愧是被称为世界之窗啊。
 It certainly deserves to be called
 Window on the World.
 世界上有名的景点，
 All the world’s famous scenic wonders
 几乎都能在这里找到相应的微缩景观哪！
 can be found here in miniatures!
韩佳： 是啊。而且很多微缩景观
 Yes. And many of the miniatures
 比真正的小不了多少。
 are big enough compared to
 the originals.
 比如我们身后的埃菲尔铁塔。
 Take the Eiffel Tower behind
 us for example.
 就有真塔的三分之一大呢。
 It is one-third the size of
 the real tower.
王渊源：看来公园还真是花了不少的成本哪！
 It seems this park was built
 at a great cost!
韩佳： 这样做的目的
 The aim of doing so
 就是为了最大限度的模仿真实的景观，
 was to imitate the real scenic sights
 to the greatest extent
 让游客到了这里以后，
 so as to make visitors
 feel like
 有身临其境的感觉。
 they are actually at the
 real place.
王渊源：“身临其境”是一个成语，
 ”Shen lin qi jing” is an idiom
 意思是亲自处在那个境地。
 that means to experience something
 personally, or to be at a certain place.
韩佳： “身临其境”是一个成语，
 ”Shen lin qi jing” is an idiom,
 意思是亲自处在那个境地。
 which means to experience something
 personally or to be at a certain place.
 就好像刚才说的，
 Just as I said,

    Rénmen  zài  zhè  li  yǒu  shēnlínqíjìng  de  gǎnjué
   人们    在  这  里   有     身临其境   的    感觉。
 People here feel like they are actually
 at the real place.

    王渊源：我已经有几分这样的感觉了。
 I’m already feeling so to
 some degree.
韩佳： 别忙。你刚才看到的
 Take it easy. All you saw
 just now
 都只是静止的建筑物吧。
 are merely fixed structures.
 动态的自然景观是不是还没看呢？
 You haven’t seen the motional
 scenic sights yet, right?
王渊源：还有动态的呢？
 There are also motional sights?
韩佳： 对啊，而且是你再熟悉不过的啦！
 Yes, and you can’t be more
 familiar with one of them!
王渊源：是吗？
 Really?
韩佳： 让人们看到世界各地的景观，
 Allowing people to see scenic
 sights all over the world
 这就是世界之窗最大的特色了。
 is the biggest of characteristics
 of Window on the World.
 整个公园被分成了亚洲、欧洲、
 The entire park is divided into
 several areas: Asia, Europe,
 美洲、大洋洲、非洲等好几个区域。
 the Americas, Oceania and Africa.
 在这里走上一圈，
 A stroll around here
 还真应了公园的那句口号：
 proves that their slogan
 is true:
 “你给我一天，我给你一个世界。”
 ”Give me one day and I’ll give
 you the whole world.”
王渊源：这…这是…
 Is this the … the …
韩佳： 还没看出来吗？
 You haven’t made it out?
王渊源：我看出来了，看出来了。
 Yes, I have made out
 what it is.
 这可是尼亚加拉大瀑布呢！
 This is Niagara Falls!
韩佳： 要不然我说你熟悉呢。
 That’s why I said it’s what
 you’re familiar with.
王渊源：没错儿，没错儿。
 It’s absolutely true.
 而且这瀑布做得有模有样。
 And the falls were made to look
 very similar to the original.
 挺像真的呀！
 The sight looks so real!
韩佳： 是啊。
 Yes.
 那渊源刚才说的“有模有样”。
 Just now Yuanyuan said
 ”you mu you yang”.
 就是指动作、外形等十分相似。
 It is used to describe something
 very similar.
王渊源：“有模有样”形容动作、外形等十分相似。
 So “you mu you yang” describes
 something being very similar.
韩佳： 我们可以说，学得有模有样；
 We can say he imitates him
 very closely;
 模仿得有模有样。
 he mimics him very closely.
 我们再来说个例句。
 Let’s have another example.

    Zhè  chù  jǐngguān  zhìzuò  de  yǒumóyǒuyàng  shífēn  bīzhēn
 这   处     景观     制作   得    有模有样，   十分    逼真。
 This site was made to look very
 similar to the original.

王渊源：没想到，除了建筑物，
 To my surprise, in addition to
 architectural structures,
 自然景观也可以模拟出来。
 a natural scenic sight can
 also be imitated.
韩佳： 是啊，还不止呢。
 Yes, and this is not the only one.
 在这里，
 Here,
 就连难得一见的山洪爆发也能看得见。
 you can also see the rare scene
 of a mountain flood.
王渊源：是吗？
 Really?
韩佳： 渊源，
 Yuanyuan,
 这里呢就模拟了一次山洪爆发。
 here’s the place for a simulated
 mountain flood.
王渊源：嗬，模拟这个可不容易啊。
 Aha, simulating a flood
 isn’t easy.
韩佳： 是啊。要制作这样一个景观啊，
 Of course not. Creating
 such a scene
 得同时考虑到声、光、电、水等
 involves the coordinated use
 of sound, light,
 好几个因素的配合，
 electricity and water
 才能达到好的效果。
 to achieve the best effects.
王渊源：看的出来，在制作上下了不少工夫呢。
 It seems they put a lot of
 effort into the production.
韩佳： 要不然怎么能让游客们满意而归呢。
 So as to satisfy the curiosity
 of visitors.
王渊源：怎么没什么动静啊！
 Why, there isn’t any activity!
韩佳： 你再等等嘛。马上就要开始了。
 Wait. It’ll start at once.
王渊源：哇，差点儿被吓一跳啊。
 Wow, I was nearly startled.
韩佳： 那渊源刚才说到的“差点儿”
 Yuanyuan just said “cha dianr”.
 是个副词，
 It is an adverb,
 表示某种事情接近实现。
 which means almost or nearly.
王渊源：“差点儿”表示某种事情接近实现。
 So “cha dianr” means almost
 or nearly.
 我决定了。
 I’ve made a decision.
韩佳： 你决定什么了？
 What decision?
王渊源：这儿有这么多好玩的东西。
 There are so many fun
 things here.
 在接下来的时间，
 In the next few days,
 我要开始在这里周游世界！
 I’m going to travel the world!
韩佳： 又跑了！
 He is off again!

赏心悦目：
