May: Daniel, have you ever heard about the wildlife sanctuary?
Daniel: Is that different from this kind of zoo?
May: Yes, of course.
Daniel: So tell me about it!
May: There are a lot of wild animals in that place, and also some special rules while visiting.
Daniel: Special rules?
May: There, you only have two ways for visiting.
Daniel: Details?
May: On their bus or in your own cars, and you won’t be allowed to get off the bus until you reach the special region.
Daniel: Why not?
May: Because it is dangerous to get out of the car or bus. You can just imagine how fierce the wild animals can be.
Daniel: That makes sense. But that sounds interesting. Is there one in Beijing too?
May: Yes.
Daniel: I prefer to go there next time.
May: Yeah, sure, you won’t be disappointed.

阿美:丹尼尔,你听说过野生动物园吗?
丹尼尔:那和这种动物园有什么区 别吗?
阿美:当然有啊。
丹尼尔:那对我讲讲吧。
阿美:在那里啊,有很多野生动物,而且在你游览的时候,还有一些特殊的规定呢。
丹尼尔:特殊规定?
阿美:在那儿啊,你只有两种游览的方式。
丹尼尔:说详细点。
阿美:乘他们的车或者是自己开车,在你到达特殊区域之前,是不允许下车的。
丹尼尔:为什么呢?
阿美:因为下车太危险了。你可以想象一下野生动物是多么的凶猛。
丹尼尔:有道理。这听起来太有趣了。北京也有这样的动物园吗?
阿美:有啊。
丹尼尔:下次我选择去那里。
阿美:当然可以啦,你肯定不会失望的。

And there are a lot of exotic animals too. That sounds fantastic. I hope I can go there next time with my family.
