情景对话

Todd: So, Simon, are you still planning to take trip to Southeast Asia?
托德：西蒙，你还在计划去东南亚旅行吗？
Simon: Yeah, I really like Southeast Asia so I would like to go there again.
西蒙：对，我真的非常喜欢东南亚，所以我很想再去一次x5N7aGp~fcmb。
Todd: Oh, cool. When you go, are you taking a tour, packaged tour or are you just going to go on your own like a backpacker?
托德：哦，真酷yPZ.ywgG2M+U[)。你是打算跟旅行团去还是做背包客独自旅行呢？
Simon: Well, I haven't decided yet. Ah, both have their advantages and their disadvantages. (Mm, yeah!) Um, well, let's say with backpacking, it's cheap, and you can meet a lot of interesting people and you can sometimes stumble upon, really, really cool things or interesting places by chance.
西蒙：嗯，我还没有决定5WFHVM~i-+);j%。两种方式都有利有弊K*pCAdzX7yo5%KA。（是啊！）嗯，就比如背包旅行吧，这种旅游非常便宜，你会遇到很多有意思的人，有时也会意外发现非常棒的事情，或是偶然发现有意思的地方E0IWF#IchMQ。
Todd: Hm, it's true, but if you do a packaged tour, they usually have the expertise about the area. You'll have a guide who can speak the language.
托德：没错，不过如果你背包旅行，通常会有了解那些地区的专家Vm)j(%+*y())cWw7=(o。你可以找个会说当地语言的导游YK!2iRq%g(TID+ZLl][。
Simon: Well, if I go for a short-time, which is probably the case I think packaged tours have, are also good because you're there for a short time. Everything is provided for you and you can just enjoy fun in the sun, or culture. Basically, your mind can relax. When you're a backpacker you always have to think about everything, you know. "Can I find a place to stay?", "Is this place safe?" you know, "Are my belongings safe?" uh, things like that. Packaged tour you just sit back and relax.
西蒙：如果是短期旅行，我认为跟团比较好，因为你只去旅行很短的时间_Mx7.,&uGkQ。跟团旅游的话，他们会为你提供所有东西，你只要在阳光下享受乐趣就好了，可以尽情感受那里的文化kl7W5t)dd073c|x+#l[。基本来说，你可以放松精神A3l;-AcF.Mde=X。而背包旅行的话，你要一直考虑所有事情;TfQ4#A_u%n。比如“我可以找到住的地方吗？”“这个地方安全吗？”或是“我的财物安全吧？”你会一直考虑这些事情6l#O7^4cN91|,。跟团旅游就什么都不用管，放松就好了)auFaS_3JSW。
Todd: Yeah, I think it's always best to take a packaged tour if you travel with somebody, but it's always best to do backpacking if you're going to travel alone.
托德：对，我认为如果你和某个人一起旅游，那跟旅行团比较好，如果你自己旅行那背包旅行比较好JmH*.Bkj,%2aMtxvf。
Simon: Absolutely, I agree. If you're alone, in, as a backpacker, you can meet people. You're forced to meet people.
西蒙：我完全同意h-louyqxHq2A%,%nt|q。如果你独自旅游的话，背包旅行可以让你遇到很多人88,jjY*TkChBGZ。你一定会遇到很多人.E-@bZ8r5w。
Todd: Yeah, that's true.
托德：对，没错l0P5SjO|PTNo0yv^=E9。
Simon: Ah, if you took a packaged tour alone you'd probably be one lonely person, sitting on the beach, drinking your glass of lemonade or whatever drank and sitting there reading a book.
西蒙：如果你独自旅游却跟团的话，那你就会非常孤独，独自坐在海滩上喝柠檬汽水或其他饮料，或者独自看书~3E7RTw9t8=。
Todd: So, on your trip to Southest Asia, are you going along with somebody?
托德：那你去东南亚旅游是打算和谁一起去吗？
Simon: Well, we'll see won't we.
西蒙：嗯，我们拭目以待吧K|1xKHn~u|]X。
