M: Which hiking route do you want to take?

W: I don’t know. What does the map say?

M: The route that goes northwest will take us to Eagle Lake. But it’s twelve kilometers long. It would take us four hours to hike there and back.

W: Is there a shorter route?

M: Yes, the route that goes northeast also ends up at the lake. It’s only eight kilometers long. But it’s much steeper(更陡峭的).

W: Oh. What about this route, that goes straight up north?

M: That goes to a waterfall, which is six kilometers away.

W: Maybe we can go there, instead.

M: Sure. But we must be back in the parking lot by 4:00. I’m meeting a friend in town at 6:00 for dinner.
