: Sandy R: Roland
Sandy and Roland are shopping in a department store in Tokyo. Suddenly, a man bumps into Sandy, and she trips and almost falls.
S: Ugh, why is it so crowded here? Can’t people watch where they’re going?
R: Well, it’s probably because of revenge travel.
S: What’s that?
R: It’s the situation that’s happening now. People are traveling more than usual to make up for the time they lost during the pandemic.
S: Oh, I see. That’s what we’re doing, too, isn’t it?
R: Exactly! And it’s not just happening here in Tokyo. People are traveling all over the world and experiencing new things.
珊蒂和罗兰正在东京的一间百货公司逛街。突然间,一名男子撞到珊蒂,她绊了一下差点跌倒。
珊 蒂: 哎呀,为什么这里这么挤?大家不能看好他们要往哪走吗?
罗 兰: 嗯,这大概是因为报复性旅游。
珊 蒂: 那是什么?
罗 兰: 那是现在正在发生的情况。人们比平常更频繁地旅游以弥补他们在疫情期间没玩到的时间。
珊 蒂: 喔,我懂了。那也是我们现在正在做的,对吧?
罗 兰: 没错!而且这不是只发生在东京。人们正在世界各地旅游并体验新事物。
