洋洋：心涛，听说在你们家乡拍了一部有名的电影？    心涛：是啊，那部电影叫《爱在廊桥》。    洋洋：我见过吊桥、拱桥，但是没见过廊桥。廊桥是什么样的？    心涛：廊桥是有顶的桥，在中国有2000多年的历史。我的家乡寿宁，历史上曾被称为"廊桥之乡"。    洋洋：哦，难怪，原来廊桥是你们家乡的一大特色。    心涛：是啊，廊桥最奇妙的地方在于它是用纯木材搭建的，而且能保存几百年甚至几千年。廊桥现在已经是国家非物质文化遗产了。    洋洋：那今年放暑假，我跟你去寿宁吧，我想亲眼看看这样珍贵的文化遗产。    心涛：好呀，没问题。     YY: Xintao, I heard a famous movie was filmed at your hometown?
XT: That's right, that movie is called "Love on the Gallery Bridge"
YY: I've seen a suspension bridge, an arch bridge, but I've never seen a covered bridge. What does it look like?
XT: A covered bridge has a roof over it. It has over 2,000 years of history in China. In history, my hometown, Shouning, was once known as "home of covered bridges".
YY: Oh, no wonder! So it turns out that the covered bridge is such a major characteristic of your hometown.
XT: Yep, the most wonderful thing about the covered bridge is that it is purely made of wood. Also, it can be conserved for several hundreds, and even up to several thousands of years. At present, the covered bridge is an intangible culturalheritage of our country.
YY: In that case, this summer holiday I'll go tag along when you return to Shouning, I want to see for myself such a precious cultural heritage.
XT: Sure, no problem.
