英文原版对话1000个:736 Travel Options

Todd: Could you talk about, when you travel, do you prefer to travel with somebody to travel alone?

Keren: I prefer to travel with someone but on my next trip I'm actually traveling alone so I'm looking forward to seeing whether I enjoy myself. Yeah.

Todd: So this will be the first time you've travelled alone?

Keren: It will be the first trip where I actually plan the whole trip by myself. Yeah.

Todd: OK, next. When you travel do you like to follow a guide book or do you like to explore and just do things without any planning.

Keren: I tend to be on a time budget so I do use guidebooks and in general it will be the Lonely Planet¹ - the same as everybody else.

Todd: You go to the same places as everybody else.

Keren: Yeah.

Todd: Yeah. I guess that's just how it normally² works³... OK When you travel do you usually like to go on a budget for a long time or do you like to spend a little money and have more of a good time and a shorter vacation?

Keren: Definitely⁴ I prefer to be on a budget and have much longer time. Yeah, and I think on a budget that you experience the culture better as well, so I think it's better all around.

Todd: Now when you travel what are some things you do to save money?

Keren: I cut down on alcohol⁵.

Todd: Oh, yeah

Keren: Because that's usually a big expense and I shop at supermarkets and tend to, try not to eat in restaurant so much.

Todd: OK, and the last one is when you travel to you try to stay away from other tourists and travelers or do you like to meet other people as you travel?

Keren: I like to spend time away from other tourists but I find that that's often difficult and for example in a place like Machu Pichu there are thousands and thousands other tourists and there's nothing you can do about it.

Todd: Right.

Keren: Yeah. Unfortunately.

Todd: Well, anyway on your trips, I hope you have a good time.

Keren: Thank you very much
