From Tokyo, they traveled around Japan for 2 weeks. The people they met were very nice, but most of them didn't speak English. Harry tried to speak a little Japanese, but it was difficult. He didn't do very well. When he spoke to people, most of them just looked at him. They didn't understand what he was trying to say.
他们从东京出发,在日本各地游玩了两个星期。遇到的人都很友好,但是大多数不会说英语。哈里试着说一些日语,但是很困难,他说的不是很好。当他说日语时,大部分人只是看着他,他们听不懂他说的话。

在旅行中,他们喜欢透过窗户欣赏沿途的乡村,从火车上看风景好极了。哈里永远不会忘记哪天晚上看日落的情景,那是一个美丽的日落。
The journey to shanghai took many hours, but it was an unforgettable experience. On the train, they met a Chinese professor who spoke English. He was a middle-aged man whose hair was turning grey. He told them about how things were changing in China. It was wonderful to watch him as he was speaking. His eyes were full of energy and excitement.
去上海的行程花了很长时间,不过令人难忘。在火车上,他们遇到了一个可以说英语的中国教授。他是一个头发花白的中年男人,他给他们讲了一些中国的变化。他讲得很精彩,眼神里充满了能量和兴奋。
