美語情景對話 第1303期:What do you think of backpackers? 你怎麼看揹包客?
JM: Hi, everyone, my name is JM and I'm from the Philippines.
JM：嗨，大家好，我是JM，來自菲律賓。Phuong: And I am Phuong. I am from Vietnam.
芳：我是芳，來自越南。JM: And today's question is: what do you think of backpackers. So Phuong, what do you think of backpackers?
JM：今天要討論的問題是：你怎麼看揹包客？芳，你對揹包客有什麼看法？
Phuong: I don't think it's bad to be a backpacker because I myself, once, I was a backpacker to go to like Tokyo, Kyoto, Yokohama. A lot of places in Japan, and because we are students we don't have much money so we spend, how do I say, safely, and like we save as much money as possible, and also we hire a very cheap hotel to stay for some nights, and it's good and I like the feeling to be myself, not depend on any others, people, something. And also, I think that backpackers, like, they are very , how do you say, adventurous. They like adventure, and they want to travel around and to, like, test life by their own and also, they want to like challenge themself. So I think it's good to be a backpacker. And you?
芳：我認爲做揹包客還不錯，因爲我自己就曾做過揹包客，在東京、京都、橫濱等地進行揹包旅行。我以這種方式遊覽了日本的很多地方，因爲我們是學生，沒有太多錢，所以我們要妥善花錢，我們要儘可能地節省，有些晚上我們住的是非常便宜的旅館，那感覺很好，我喜歡這種不依賴其他人，完全靠自己的感覺。而且我認爲揹包客非常有冒險精神。他們喜歡冒險，他們想去各地旅行，靠自己去完成人生的考驗，也想挑戰自己。所以我認爲當揹包客很不錯。你呢？JM: Yeah, I think backpackers are pretty cool. I think they are very adventurous, and I've never actually done backpacking myself but that is how I would travel myself cause it's the cheapest way, and you probably get to see things that you don't normally see like the regular tourist tours, so yeah, I think backpacking is pretty good.
JM：對，我認爲揹包客非常酷。他們具有冒險精神，我自己從未進行過揹包旅行，不過我旅行時會採用揹包旅行的方式，因爲那是最便宜的旅行方法，可以看到一般遊客通常看不到的景色，所以我認爲揹包旅行非常不錯。Phuong: Yeah, it's cool to be like a backpacker. Thank you very much.
芳：對，成爲揹包客很酷。非常謝謝你。JM: Bye bye.
JM：再見。
