命懸一崖

說到旅游裝備，小編竊以為相機就是必不可少的，它可以讓記憶變得有存在感，留下“本人到此一游”的痕跡，所以就連平常不愛照相的人也會忍不住照那么幾張。只是有時為了拍得一個好角度，要折騰半天，也是很考驗人的耐心的。

Miley: Smile! Come on， you are on holidays， remember? OK， that’s it. Don’t move.

Jonas: Hurry up. I can’t hold this pose all day.

Miley: Hold it…hold it…got it! Oh no， you have your eyes closed. Quickly， I’ll take another one.

麥莉:笑一個!來吧，別忘了你現在是在度假?很好，就這樣。別動。

麥莉:(對一個游客說)不好意思，你能幫我和我朋友拍張照嗎?

游客:當然可以。按這個按鈕就可以了嗎?

麥莉:是的，這樣就行。對準，然后按快門就可以。(擺姿勢)哇，你不是在開玩笑，這兒真的很高。

喬納斯:廢話。

游客:呃，好像不行，我哪里做錯了嗎?

麥莉:哦，對不起，把最頂端的按鈕往左移。

游客:好的，要拍咯，好，準備好了嗎?

喬納斯:是……的，準備好一陣子了。

麥莉:不要這樣沒禮貌。這位先生是在幫我們的忙。(對游客說)請你不要介意他說的話，他今天很背，心情不是很好。是不是呀，小牢騷鬼?呵呵。

喬納斯:你得小心了，看我會不會把你推下這懸崖。你真的把我惹火了哦。

麥莉:好，好，對不起啦，我會好好表現的。我告訴你，拍完照我們就去參觀廊橋。

喬納斯:很好!

游客:不好意思，我想把鏡頭拉近一點點。

麥莉:你大拇指按的那個按鈕就是……對，就是

那個。

游客:好的，準備就緒哦，說“茄子”。

喬納斯:茄子!

麥莉:茄子!

喬納斯:我現在能下去了嗎?

麥莉:可以，走吧。(對游客說)十分感謝你

幫忙。

愉快。
