Lan Lan: Mom, you're back!

Liu Ming: Li Hong, how come you're back from work so late today?

Li Hong: I went to pick up the photos. There was a traffic jam on the roads.

Lan Lan: Mom, what photos? Let me see...

Li Hong: The photos taken last week when we went to the park.

Lan Lan: Dad, look, how's this photo I took?

Liu Ming: Mm, not bad, but it's a little bit out of focus. But the one of you is very good, your expression's so natural, like a little star.

Li Hong: I took that one. I think my photography skills have reached professional standards.

Liu Ming: More accurately, it should be said that the camera you're using is professional.

Lan Lan: Dad, does this photo we took on auto-timer look nice or not?

Liu Ming: Mm, the best work out of this roll of film is this one taken on auto-timer.

Li Hong: Tomorrow I'll go to the picture agency again and enlarge this photo.

Lan Lan: Mom, enlarge it to twelve inches.
 

Cultural Background

Taking photos and developing film

初到中国时，您一定想照许多照片。不仅是名胜古迹还是风景，而且还有您在中国生活的每一天的经历。

可您一定要切记在中国当地买胶卷。因为当您走下飞机经过安全检查时，您早已买好的胶卷或许有被曝光的可能。在中国很容易就能买到各种型号的胶卷，而 且非常便宜。中国各地的商店很多，商店货物相当丰富，琳琅满目。照相器材各式各样，足够您挑选的，而且价格便宜。在离开中国的时候，您可以把所照的照片冲 洗出来。一般的照相馆都有快速冲洗业务，有的甚至可以立等可取。照相馆的营业项目很多，如：照相、冲洗照片、彩色扩印，拍艺术照、婚纱照，买照相器材、各 种胶卷、相册、印名片和复印资料等等。

在中国照相，人们对照相所站的位置很讲究。一般情况下，老年人或长者站在中间，特别是在正式场合，照片中站的顺序非常重要。如果朋友们出游并拍照就没有那么多的讲究。中国可玩儿和有趣的地方非常多，许多地方值得留念。所以到中国来，一定要带上相机，否则会遗憾终生。
