第一次公司給我雪梨班是一年半多前，這回又讓我在班表上看到雪梨班時，真的是興奮不已呀！  

I couldn’t be more happy when I found out that I was rostered a SYD flight again after my company gave the flight to me about one and half years ago.

** S + couldn’t be more happy…為「非常…、沒有比…更令人快樂的」的用法。後方的happy也可用其它感覺形容詞代替，如：excited、disappointed、sad…等。  

我非常喜歡雪梨這麼棒的一個城市，因為第一次造訪雪梨時，就深愛上那悠閒的氣氛和美麗的景緻。但俺真的不解為何在上個月之前公司這麼久都還沒有給我雪梨班。當看到十月班表上有雪梨班時，我就知道我過去所做的祈禱總算應驗了。 

I like the wonderful city of Sydney so much because the laid-back atmosphere and beautiful views there made me deeply fall in love with the city from my first visit. But I don’t understand why I had yet to be rostered the flight for such a long time before last month. When I saw a SYD flight in my Oct. roster, I knew that all the prayers I’d said finally worked.  

** S + have/had yet to…相當於S + haven’t p.p.的完成式否定用法，如：I haven’t visited China = I have yet to visit China . 我尚未造訪過中國。另外，最後一句的prayer（祈禱、禱告）這一字大多和say連用，所以「做禱告」可以說say prayers。 

真的很興奮可以有機會再看看雪梨令人嚮往的知名景點，和品嚐魚市場的美味海鮮。更棒的是，我也和兩位很要好的香港上司在那兒碰面，一同開心地到處走走晃晃。我們到離飯店不遠的魚市場吃好吃的海鮮，也一起去中國城小逛。很開心有他們的陪伴，讓俺此次在雪梨的停留有個難忘的回憶。  

I was very excited to have another chance to see Sydney ’s attractive limelight and taste the delicious seafood in the Fish Market. What’s better, I met two of my best Hong-Kong superiors and we had a lot of fun there. We went to the Fish Market, just within walking distance from our hotel, to enjoy tasty seafood and we hung out China Town together. I felt happy to have their company, which made my stay in Sydney an unforgettable one.

到了雪梨，如果您沒有去魚市場吃一下海鮮的話，您的旅程便不算完整。魚市場裡賣了很多現補獲的魚、龍蝦、其牠蝦類、章魚、和其牠海產。您也可以在那兒戶外的碼頭上享用生鮮或熟的海產，當然啦，也不要錯過魚薯條。  

真的不敢相信我們在中國城逛的時侯發現了鮮芋仙(台灣有名的甜品店)耶！雖然店外大排長龍，但我還是要讓同事知道台灣甜品有多美味。說真的，這裡的甜點滋味和台灣其它鮮芋仙分店沒差多少喔。  

I couldn’t believe we came across Meet Fresh, a famous Taiwanese dessert restaurant, when having a walk in Chinatown . Though the restaurant was lined up with a long queue, still I wanted to show my colleagues how tasty the desserts are. You know what, the taste of the desserts is very much similar to that of Meet Fresh’s other chains in Taiwan .

其實，和上一次到雪梨比起來，這回並沒有做啥新鮮事；大部份從事的不外乎是照著之前的行程，在街上閒晃、吃好料、和造訪景點等。至於下次再回來的時侯嘛，我想我應該會考慮嚐試些新的活動，比如參加市區觀光、登雪梨港灣大橋、或上遊輪體驗等。  

Well, compared to my last stay in Sydney , I did not do anything new this time. All I did was just follow my previous checklist to relive some of my old experience, amble along streets, eat delicacies, and visit scenic spots. As for my next time to come, I will think about trying out some nice activities such as joining city tour, climbing Sydney Harbour Bridge , or experiencing a cruise.

多麼令人驚嘆的雪梨歌劇院呀！在這巧奪天工的設計傑作裡，每年有至少2,500場的表演和活動演出喔！沒多久前它才被列為世界遺產之一呢。  

What an awe-inspiring Sydney Opera House. In this masterpiece of design, over 2,500 performances and events take place each year. Also, It was recently added to the World Heritage List.

知名的雪梨港也是個吃好料和拍照的好地方。  

The famous Sydney Harbour is also a great spot for gourmet and photographers.

達令港(又名情人港)是個可讓您一窺海岸和市區晝夜美景的極佳所在。再者，如果您愛好美食和購物，達令港及其鄰近的中國城會是兩個不錯的去處喔！Harbourside是達令港最主要的購物商場，營業時間到晚間九點，裡頭有許多的精品店、特產店、以及美食區。在中國城裡，您也可以見到許多各式不同的美食、華人精品店和紀念品店等。  

Darling Harbour , or dubbed as Lover Harbour , is a wonderful site where you can catch a glimpse into beautiful day and night costal and city views. Moreover, if you are after good food and shopping experience, Darling Harbour and its neighboring Chinatown are two lively districts for you to meet your desire. Habourside, open daily until 9pm, is Darling Harbour ’s main shopping mall, with boutiques, specialty stores and dining venues. In Chinatown , there is an array of mouthwatering cuisine, Asian boutiques, food stores and souvenir shops.
