周六到了，YOYO老師陪你一起放飛心情。

 這是羅馬尼亞之行的最后一集。

文中加粗部分是值得學(xué)習(xí)的詞匯和短語【YOYO說詞】，下劃線部分為有借鑒意義的漂亮句型【YOYO說句】，正文后都有詳解。

Romania

Romania's Maramures region may be modernising in places but take a walk in the countryside among forests, wooden churches and hay stooks and you'll feel like you've stepped back in time

III.
When I got back to Breb, Sophie and Maddy reported similar experiences: helping an old lady mash pears and plums ready for brandy-making and watching others spin wool with distaffs. Maramures, we concluded, still has enchantments and a few parts of life may be unchanged since medieval times, but not all.

The younger Vasile with his grandparents next to old and new houses.

The next day we drove right up the valley heading east, and took the Moc？ni？a, a steam railway starting from Viseu de Sus. The line was built in 1932 and run primarily for logging operations in the remote mountain forests on the Ukraine border. Tourists, however, now provide a big subsidiary income. The train lurched and shuddered up the gorge of the river Vaser in a charmingly random fashion, 22km up to a logging station, Paltin, where we had lunch and walked for an hour in one of Europe's most remote forests. Back at the locomotive I chatted to our driver, DumitruBrendea. “There is nowhere better than Maramures,” he said. And the culture, I wondered, did he love it? Yes. And the music? His face clouded over. “No. Not me. I love The Rolling Stones.”

即便是普羅大眾經(jīng)常乘坐的列車，也可能挖掘不少談資。那么具體的做法是什么呢？

對于大多數(shù)準備口試的同學(xué)們來說，提到以下兩點就非常不錯了。首先可以簡要概括一下列車運行的路線 (Viseu de Sus --> Paltin)，另外，可以順便帶出列車運營發(fā)展史，比如，始建于何時 (in 1932)，有何主要用途 (for logging operations)，隨著時間流逝又衍生出了什么的附加值 (transport for tourism) 等。

當然，如果大家愿意描述一下自己坐火車的感覺，那么談話就會顯得更為有趣；比如這段話中 Kevin 贊 (tu) 賞 (cao)了列車攀爬 Vaser 河谷時迷 (chou) 人 (feng) 的隨性搖擺。

下集預(yù)告：Slovakia 斯洛伐克
斯洛伐克位于歐洲中部內(nèi)陸，被稱為“歐洲的心臟”。獨特、婀娜多姿的風(fēng)景，靜謐又未加雕琢的自然風(fēng)光，使得斯洛伐克成為熱愛大自然、登山健行和洞穴探險者的天堂。斯洛伐克氣候宜人，擁有9個國家公園，還是世界上城堡數(shù)量最多的國家之一……
