美語情景對話 第1302期:Would you like to be a backpacker? 你想當揹包客嗎?

Elena: Hello, this is Elena from Bulgaria.

埃琳娜：大家好，我是埃琳娜，來自保加利亞。

Diego: and Diego from Mexico.

迭戈：我是迭戈，來自墨西哥。

Elena: for . Today's question is would you.like to be a backpacker? So?

埃琳娜：今天要討論的問題是：你想當揹包客嗎？

Diego: Well, I have actually been a backpacker. I went backpacking through Europe a year and a half ago, and I don't know, I guess the whole idea of backpacking is a bit overrated in my own personal experience because backpacking in Europe is so easy. You just get on one train and point A to point B, so its not really a challenge, and that whole backpacking experience and going on an adventure kind of idea, it's really far from reality. And I don't know. Another thing I didn't like about my backpacking experience is that I always thought that like carrying everything in your backpack, it was going to make everything so much lighter and easier to move around, but I found out that it's just the opposite.

迭戈：實際上我做過揹包客。一年半以前我去法國揹包旅行了，就我個人的經歷來說，我認爲揹包旅行的理念被高估了，因爲在歐洲揹包旅行非常容易。只需要登上列車，從A地前往B地就行了，那都算上不挑戰，體驗揹包旅行以及去冒險，這種想法與現實相差甚遠。我說不好。我對我的揹包旅行經歷還有一點不滿意，我一直認爲把所有東西背到背上會減輕重量，很方便四處走動，但是我發現事實恰恰相反。

Elena: You just get tired and everything.

埃琳娜：你會很累的。

Diego: Yeah, your back gets really tired. Your shoulders get really exhausted and those backpacks are not really traveller friendly, so I don't know, I would recommend you to think twice about backpacking

迭戈：對，我的後背會非常累。肩膀會感覺勞累過度，那些揹包對旅行者來說並不方便，所以我建議你在揹包旅行之前要三思。

Elena: OK, well, I don't know. I think Europe may not be the best place for that extreme backpacking experience. If you want to do that you might want to go to Southeast Asia or something.

埃琳娜：好，我也不清楚。我認爲歐洲可能不是體驗極致揹包旅行的最佳目的地。如果你想體驗揹包旅行，最好去東南亞之類的地方。

Diego: Yeah, I think Southeast Asia would be a really good destination to backpacking.

迭戈：對，我認爲東南亞是適合揹包客的目的地。

Elena: Yeah.

埃琳娜：對。

Diego: Or maybe Africa or something for that really backpacking experience becomes a reality.

迭戈：或者非洲，這種地方纔會令揹包旅行變爲現實。

Elena: Thank you.

埃琳娜：謝謝。

Diego: Thank you.

迭戈：謝謝。
