Adventure in America (11)



場面: リディアはミネソタに親戚がいるので、飛行機で会いに行きます。



M: So, Lydia, I hear that Minnesota is freezing in the winter. Luckily, it's summer now. What kind of things are there to do in Minnesota?



W: Well, first of all, Minnesota is known as “the Land of 10,000 Lakes". So, we can go speed-boating! And wakeboarding!



M: Wow. Wakeboarding. That's water skiing on one board, right?



W: Right. And have you been to the Mall of America yet?



M: The Mall of America? What's that, like a really patriotic strip mall or something?



W: Ha ha… You have to be kidding me! You really don't know? There are over 500 stores there.



M: 500?



W: Yeah. And there's also an aquarium, a movie theater complex, and it has the only indoor amusement park in the nation.



M: Wow, Minnesota isn't looking so bad after all!
