R：Once you see this place, you won't need coffee to keep you awake5.
R：The first thing you should do is freshen up6.

R：Let's get in my car and I'll take you around.
貝斯正在巴西拜訪她的朋友羅那度。
貝 斯：羅那度！羅那度！這邊啦！
羅那度：我在飛機場到處找妳。歡迎蒞臨巴西！
貝 斯：真不敢相信我已經在這裡了。快走吧。我不想浪費時間聊天。
羅那度：慢慢來。在巴西，妳得放輕鬆。
貝 斯：我好興奮。心跳得好快。大概是在等待時喝了四杯咖啡的關係吧。
羅那度：一旦見識到這地方，妳就不需要咖啡提神了。
羅那度：妳應該先梳洗一番。
貝 斯：我覺得有點悶熱。
羅那度：因為現在是二月。冬天就不會那麼糟了。
貝 斯：可是二月是冬天啊。
羅那度：在巴西不是。這裡的十二月、一月、二月是夏季。
貝 斯：我想那是和台北不一樣的地方。
羅那度：不一樣的可多了！
貝　斯：我等不及要大開眼界了。
羅那度：上車吧，我載你去逛逛。
