Anna, thanks for taking me on a tour of D.C. today.
安娜，谢谢你今天带我游览华盛顿。
Sure thing, Penelope. You are new to town. And a tour is the best way to see more of the city!
不客气，佩内洛普。你刚到这座城市。游览是更多地了解这座城市的最好方式！
So, which tour are we taking--the one that goes through the city on a bus? Or the one that goes along the river in a boat?
那么，我们要乘坐哪种交通工具去游览呢？坐观光巴士穿行于整座城市还是乘船沿河而行？
Both!
两种都有！
What? Anna, this isn't going to be one of those trips, is it?
什么？安娜，难道不是其中一种吗？
No. Follow me.

In this lesson, you are going to hear lots of prepositions!
本节课，你将会听到很多介词！
What's a preposition, you ask? It's a word that shows relationships between things.
你会问，什么是介词？介词是用来表示事物之间关系的词。
Anna says they are going on a tour through the city and along the river.
安娜说她们要穿行于整座城市和沿河而行。
"Through" and "along" are both prepositions. Watch for more!

Well, Penelope, there's our ride!

It's the famous DC Ducks--the boat with wheels! We will ride on the road and then sail on the water!

I don't know. But I'm glad they do! Let’s get aboard, Sailor!
我不知道。但我很高兴他们想出来了！我们上船吧，水手！
Hey, did you know that this bus…um, boat was created during World War II to carry people and supplies?
