Going to Lantern Festival
參觀燈會

J: What are you doing this weekend?
D: I'm visiting a friend in Kaohsiung, and I think we're going to look at the Lantern Festival displays along Love River.
J: You're going to look at lanterns?
D: Yeah, it's supposed to be really nice. It's always quite nice to walk along the river, and my friend says the lanterns are really interesting. People make them using all different designs, so some of them look like cartoon characters and others look like buildings.
J: I thought lanterns were always just round.
D: Maybe they were traditionally, but people are quite imaginative with them now.
J: You've got me interested. Are there any Lantern Festival displays in or around Taipei? D: Yes, there's one in Taipei almost every year. You could also take a trip to Pingxi where they release sky lanterns every year.
J: What are sky lanterns?
D: They're a bit like little hot air balloons. You light a fire underneath them and they float away into the sky.

J: 妳這個週末要做什麼？
D: 我要去高雄找朋友，我想我們會去看愛河沿岸的元宵燈會。
J: 你們要去看燈會？
D:是啊，應該很不錯。沿著愛河散步的感覺向來很棒，而且我朋友說那些燈籠真的很有趣。大家把燈籠設計成各種樣子，有的看起來像卡通人物、有的像建築物。
J: 我以為燈籠都是圓的。
D: 傳統燈籠是圓的，但是現在的人都很有想像力。
J: 被妳說的我也有興趣了。台北或台北附近有燈會嗎？
D: 台北幾乎每年都會辦燈會。你也可以去平溪，那裡也是每年放天燈。
J: 什麼是天燈？
D: 有點像小型的熱氣球，可以從天燈下面點火，它們就會飄向天空。
