Jun: We'd like a permit for camping in the Na Pali Coast. Three days.
Ranger: You girls sure you've in shape for the trail? The Sierra Club gives it a nine out of ten for difficulty.
Jun: I just came here from a climbing trip in Utah. I can handle anything.
Ranger: Use your head. You know what ‘pali’ means, don't you?
Jun: Umm, not exactly. I'm not local.
Ranger: It means cliffs. And that's what you'll be hiking along. Sheer cliffs. But you've never been anywhere more beautiful.

小 君：我们想要纳帕里海岸三天的露营许可。
护林员：两位小姐确定走这个步道身体受得了吗？山岳协会给这里难度九的评分。
小 君：我才从犹他州登山回来。我什么都应付得来。
护林员：考虑一下吧。你知道「帕里」的意思吗？
小 君：嗯，不完全知道。我不是本地人。
护林员：意思是悬崖。那就是你们要走的步道。都是险峻的峭壁。但你们一定没去过比这更美的地方了。
