The next day was clear and mild, and they were pleased to see the beautiful mountains looking out over the city. Later they took a pleasant hike in a forest just a short distance away.

Para 6 After another day on the train, eventually they were back in an urban area, the city of Winnipeg. From there, they travelled through the night, and woke up in Ontario—a land of forests and lakes. The train thundered on, through the rolling hills. The bushes and maple trees outside their windows were red, gold, and orange, and there was frost on the ground, confirming that autumn had arrived in Canada. Night came again, and the train turned south towards Toronto. When they woke up the next morning and pulled back the curtain, they could see the wide stretch of Lake Huron—one of the four Great Lakes on Ontario’s southern border. It was not until 9:30 a.m. that they finally reached the capital of Ontario, Toronto. All in all, their trip from Vancouver to Toronto had taken a duration of four days.
她们在火车上又度过了天,最终回到了都市区域—温尼伯市。从该市出发,她们连夜前行,从梦乡中醒来时火车已抵达森林和湖泊密布的安大略省。火车继续轰隆隆地向前行驶,穿过绵延的群山。窗外的灌木丛和枫树林呈红色、金色和橘黄色,地面盖着一层霜,表明加拿大已进入秋季。夜幕再次降临,火车转向南行,开往多伦多。次日清晨,她们醒来,拉开车窗窗帘,辽阔的休伦湖映入眼帘。休伦湖是安大略省南部边境的四大湖之一。上午九点半,她们终于抵达安大略的省会多伦多。总之,从温哥华到多伦多,她们的旅行总共历时四天。
