託德：烏魯魯。

Keren: Ayers Rock. And it's just an incredible place which is... the land is very barren and very red and the sky is very blue and it's just beautiful.

凱倫：艾爾斯岩石。那裏是一個不可思議的地方，土地非常貧瘠，呈現出通紅的顏色，而天空又非常湛藍，那裏太漂亮了。

託德：哇，那個地方叫什麼來着？

Keren: Uluru.

凱倫：烏魯魯。

Todd: Uluru. OK, besides there, anywhere else?

Todd: Do you know how old it is?

託德：你知道馬丘比丘有多少年的歷史嗎？

Keren: Probably about seven hundred, eight hundred years old, I think. It's not actually that old.

凱倫：格拉納達的阿爾罕布拉宮曾是西班牙古老的穆斯林宮殿。格拉納達是一座非常棒的古鎮，有很多穆斯林宮殿。

Todd: And there is just one palace or is there many, many palaces?

託德：是隻有一個宮殿還是有很多宮殿？

Keren: There is many, many ruins and there's a lot to do. You can spend the whole day there walking around the different old buildings that were built in different times.
