Terry: But there haven't been any attacks, right?
　　 Lisa: No, not yet at least. But some things have changed. Our airports are certainly a little more careful.
　　 Terry: That's good. The whole world has changed a lot in the last few years.
　　 Lisa: That's for sure. I almost went to Spain in March for a holiday, but then there were train bombings!
　　 Terry: What a tragedy that was. I sure hope there's an end in sight to this horrible problem.

　　 泰瑞：那真是一场悲剧。真希望不久之后这个骇人的问题能够结束。
