聽力原文：W: Excuse me. Do you live here？

M: Yes, I've lived here in Edinburgh all my life. My name's Rory McDonald. How do you do？

W: Hi, I'm Chris Hudson from Phoenix, Arizona. I'm an oil engineer. I'm on my way to London on business.

M: How long are you staying in Edinburgh？

W: Just a day. What can I see here in twenty-four hours？

M: Well, most tourists want to visit the Castle. It's on Castle Rock. It's where the Scottish government used to be. From there you can walk down tile Royal Mile.

W: What's the Royal Mile？

M: It's a narrow street of medieval houses. It's worth seeing. Then you really should visit Holyrood Palace.

W: Who lives in the Palace？

M: No one, except the Queen when she comes to Edinburgh, which is usually once a year. But the kings and queens d Scotland used to live there before Scotland was united with England,

W: When was that？

M: That was...er, let me see...in 1603.

W: You seem to know a lot about Scottish history.

M: Aye, well, I'm a McDonald of the McDonald clan. You know there are clans in Scotland, and we are all proud of our history.

W: Does that explain the kilt you're wearing？

M: Aye. Each clan has a special kilt.

W: I'd like to buy a kilt for my husband.

M: You can buy them in Prince Skeet. It's the best street for shopping.

W: What else should I buy？

M: Why don't you buy some sweaters？ Scottish sweaters are famous for their quality. And you must buy some whiskey. Of course you know that's our national drink.

W: Yes, I've already bought the whiskey.

M: Good. But remember you mustn't put ice in it. That spoils the flavor!

W: Oh，we Americans put ice in everything!
