（单词翻译:单击）

Our family vacationed in Europe.
We flew to the beaches of Spain.
We hopped1 on a ferry to England.
We traveled through France on a train.
We lugged2 all our luggage to Denmark.
We dragged all our baggage to Greece,
We hoisted3 our backpacks and handbags,
our suitcase, our trunk and valise.
We rambled4 through dozens of ruins.
We wandered through castles galore.
We must have seen hundreds of statues --
cathedrals and mosques5 by the score.
We pored over paintings in Paris.
We tramped through museums in Rome,
and all of the while I was thinking
how much I would rather be home.
At last we are done with our travels!
We've seen every kingdom and nation.
But we're so completely exhausted6
that we need another vacation!
