Romania

Romania's Maramures region may be modernising in places but take a walk in the countryside among forests, wooden churches and hay stooks and you'll feel like you've stepped back in time

III.
When I got back to Breb, Sophie and Maddy reported similar experiences: helping an old lady mash pears and plums ready for brandy-making and watching others spin wool with distaffs. Maramures, we concluded, still has enchantments and a few parts of life may be unchanged since medieval times, but not all.

The younger Vasile with his grandparents next to old and new houses.

The next day we drove right up the valley heading east, and took the Moc？ni？a, a steam railway starting from Viseu de Sus. The line was built in 1932 and run primarily for logging operations in the remote mountain forests on the Ukraine border. Tourists, however, now provide a big subsidiary income. The train lurched and shuddered up the gorge of the river Vaser in a charmingly random fashion, 22km up to a logging station, Paltin, where we had lunch and walked for an hour in one of Europe's most remote forests. Back at the locomotive I chatted to our driver, DumitruBrendea. “There is nowhere better than Maramures,” he said. And the culture, I wondered, did he love it? Yes. And the music? His face clouded over. “No. Not me. I love The Rolling Stones.”

YOYO说句
…the Moc？ni？a, a steam railway starting from Viseu de Sus. The line was built in 1932 and run primarily for logging operations in the remote mountain forests on the Ukraine border. Tourists, however, now provide a big subsidiary income.

即便是普罗大众经常乘坐的列车，也可能挖掘不少谈资。那么具体的做法是什么呢？

对于大多数准备口试的同学们来说，提到以下两点就非常不错了。首先可以简要概括一下列车运行的路线 (Viseu de Sus --> Paltin)，另外，可以顺便带出列车运营发展史，比如，始建于何时 (in 1932)，有何主要用途 (for logging operations)，随着时间流逝又衍生出了什么的附加值 (transport for tourism) 等。

当然，如果大家愿意描述一下自己坐火车的感觉，那么谈话就会显得更为有趣；比如这段话中 Kevin 赞 (tu) 赏 (cao)了列车攀爬 Vaser 河谷时迷 (chou) 人 (feng) 的随性摇摆。
