Vicki: Hello and welcome to On the Town from BBC Learning English. I'm Vicki.
Chen Li: 大家好，我是陳鸝，在城市掠影節(jié)目中，我們總是要去探訪英國一些有趣的地方，在今天的節(jié)目中，我們要去一個非常古老的城市。
Vicki: The city of Canterbury, in the south-east of England. We spoke to Neil McCollum, the tourism manager for Canterbury City Council, to find out why visitors come to Canterbury.
I think the key reason why visitors are coming to the city and have been coming to the city for hundreds of years is probably the cathedral, whether for religious reasons, for the architecture, or for the sense of place the building brings with it.
Neil McCollum, tourism manager for Canterbury City Council
Vicki: So one of the main attractions is the cathedral.
Chen Li: 大教堂。
Vicki: Neil described it as a key reason people come to the city.
Chen Li: A key reason 一個主要的原因。
Canterbury Cathedral is popular with tourists
Vicki: He mentioned three reasons why people visit the cathedral – for religious reasons…
Chen Li: 因為宗教的緣故，這個教堂如今依然在履行官方的宗教事務。
Vicki: for the architecture…
Chen Li: 因為它的建筑特色。
Vicki: or for the sense of place.
Chen Li: 因為對這個獨特地方的特殊感受。
Vicki: So, the cathedral is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Canterbury but of course there's more to Canterbury than that.
Chen Li: There's more to Canterbury 意思就是還有其他方面的原因。
Vicki: Here's Neil again:
But I think there's a lot more to Canterbury than just the cathedral, it's the 2000 years of history that the city has. A major regional theatre, you've got some very good restaurants, pubs and clubs in the city as well. Wonderful hotels, a whole package of things really.
Neil McCollum, tourism manager for Canterbury City Council
Vicki: Neil mentioned lots of different things there, such as the history of the city – it's 2000 years old.

Vicki: A major regional theatre.
Chen Li: 還有飯館，酒吧，俱樂部，和旅店。
Vicki: Restaurants, pubs, clubs and hotels. He described it as a whole package of things.
Chen Li: 他形容人們可以進行的一些娛樂活動真是樣樣俱全，無所不包。在我們繼續(xù)節(jié)目之前， 還是來復習一些我們剛才聽到的有關坎特伯雷的單詞和短語。

Vicki: Before we go, I asked Neil for his top tip when visiting Canterbury.
Chen Li: 他告訴我們，在這里我們還可以去河上游覽參觀城市。
One of the things I would suggest people do is take one of the river tours. A wonderful guided tour - tells you all about the city, but you see it from the aspect of the river, which is an angle you don't often see when you're walking around.
Neil McCollum, tourism manager for Canterbury City Council
Vicki: It's a guided tour by boat. You learn all about the city but see it from the aspect of the river – a different angle.
