常春藤生活英语【79】长路迢迢(在线收听) |
Three years ago, actor Ewan McGregor and his best friend Charley Boorman traveled around the world on their motorcycles. Now, instead of traveling "around," they are traveling "down." This month, National Geographic Channel will air their amazing adventure. The trip starts in Scotland and doesn't end until they reach the southern tip of Africa. Watch Long Way Down to see how McGregor and Boorman have fun and overcome difficulties along the way. The 24,000 kilometers they travel is rough, but McGregor and Boorman experience the adventure of a lifetime. The trip takes three months in total. During that time, the pair travels by motorcycle, airplane, and on foot. As they go farther and farther south, the landscape1 changes greatly. Some of the countries they pass through are Libya, Sudan, and Kenya. Video diaries, helmet cameras, and microphones2 allow viewers to ride along. They also help those at home understand the challenges that arise and share McGregor and Boorman's frustration3. To really know what traveling the world feels like, make sure you watch Long Way Down.
