Section 66 Travel Guides
Can you imagine trying to go to a new place without a travel guide?到一个陌生的地方去而没有旅行指南,这你能想像吗?
Hundreds of years ago, explorers had no such things.对几百年前的开拓者们来说,没有旅行指南这类的东西。
As these people opened up more new areas to us, they wrote about them.当他们开发出新的地区后,他们作了记录。
These writings formed a new genre of literature called travel writing.这些记录形成了一种新的文学形式――旅游文学。
Some travel guides are just pure factual data, others are more entertaining.有些旅行指南只作事实上的描述,有些则比较有趣。
Perhaps we could call train, plane and bus schedules travel guides, but they are not very interesting.也许我们可以称火车、飞机和公共汽车时刻表为旅游指南,但是它们不是很有趣。
So, what do people expect when they buy and read such guides?那么,人们购买这类指南资料时,他们希望看到什么呢?
They expect to get a lot of details about the places they are interested in.他们希望看到他们感兴趣地方的详细资料。
They want to know what to expect when they get there, climate, food, customs.他们希望知道那里的气候、饮食、风俗。
They like to know what other most interesting places to visit, and what difficulties to expect when they get there.他们想知道那里最有趣的景点,以及到那儿之后可能遇到的困难。
The variety of places to eat and kinds of foods served will also be mentioned in the guides.各种餐饮地点以及饮食种类也会在旅行指南中提及。
But a travel guide need not be a book. It could be a pamphlet or even a person.但旅行指南不必是一本书,可以是一本小册子,或是一个人。
In most major tourist areas, you can hire the service of a person who will act as your travel guide.在大多数主要的旅游景点,你可以雇个人当导游。
They will help you to get to all the right places as safely as possible.导游会把你安全地带到要去的地方。
There are millions of travel guides of all kinds in the world.世界上有各种不同类型的旅行指南,数不胜数。
And reading them can be almost as good as the real thing.光是阅读它们,就有种身临其境般的感受。
