 ("our week" is on again.)
 Chairwoman: Mavis, where did you go this week?
 Mavis: I went to Chipping Leighton. It's a village in Sussex, by the see. About four hundred people live there. Most of them work on farms, or in the village shops. It's got a lovely oid church and there's a little museum. You can visit the museum on Wednsday. There's also a village pub.
 Sid: Ah — a pub!
 Mavis: What I wanted to say was — you can stay at the pub. There's only one bus a day, so it's a good idea to take your car.
 Chairwoman: Thank you, Mavis. And where did you go this week, Hubert?
 Hubert: I visited the Lake District. As you know, it's a beautiful part of the country, in the north of England, about three hundred kilometres from here. Of course, it costs quite a lot to get there …
 sid: You can say that again. It's terrible.
 Hubert: But it's famous for its countryside. It has beautiful hills and lake, forests and rivers, you can go swimming, go sailing, go fishing, go for walks.
 Chairwoman: Thank you. Hubert.
 Sid: I went to see my brother this week. He live in the next street to me. I don't get time to go to Lake Distriet, or villages in Sussex. Too much work. Anyway, where we live there are no hills, or lakes, or forests, or rivers — just a lot of factories and dirty buildings. But the people are friendly and they're real.

 （《我们的一周》又播出了。）
 女主席：玛维丝，这个星期你到什么地方去了，
 玛维丝：我到奇比雷顿去了。这是沙塞克斯郡的一个小村庄，靠海，大约有四百人隹在哪里，大部分人在农场工作或在村里的商店工作。村里有一座漂亮的古教堂，还有一个小博物馆。每星期三可以参观博物馆。村里还有一个小酒馆……
 锡德：啊——小酒店！
 玛维丝：我的意思是——你可以在这个小酒店住下。那时一天只有一趟公共汽车，所以最好是自己开车去。
 女主席：谢谢你，玛维丝。这个星期你到哪里去了，休伯特？
 休伯特：我参观湖区去了。你知道，这是英国一块很美的地方，在英格兰北部，离这里大约三百公里，当然啰，去一趟要花很多钱哪……
 锡德：你说得太对了。真够呛哪！
 休伯特：这个地方的乡村景色是出名的。那时有美丽的山林湖河，你可以游泳、划船、钓鱼、散步。
 女主席：谢谢你，休伯特。
 踢德：这个星期我去看了我的弟弟，他就住在我旁边的那条街上。我没有时间去湖区，或去塞克斯的村庄，工作太忙了。总而言之，我们住的地方既没有山林，也没有湖河——只有许多工厂和肮脏的房屋，可是那里的人很友好，他们是真诚的。
