3月20日外教朗读课丨Budget Traveling
Travel is becoming more and more popular here in China, so I am wondering: Do you like to travel? Where do you like to go? How do you like to travel?
旅游在中国越来越流行，所以我很好奇：你喜欢旅游吗？喜欢去哪里呢？喜欢哪种出行方式呢？
One reason I love living in China is that I get to travel often. Because countries are smaller and a lot closer together in Asia, it is much easier to travel and see new places. Of course there are many ways to travel, but for me, I always travel on a budget. My biggest expense is usually traveling to the country I am visiting either by plane or by train. I am willing to be a little uncomfortable or have to wake up early to get a cheaper ticket.
我喜欢住在中国的一个原因是我喜欢旅行。亚洲有很多距离很近的小国家，很容易到不同的地方旅游。现在有很多的出行方式，但对我来说，我常常会穷游。旅游中最大的开销是机票和火车票。我不太喜欢坐需要早起的车。
I also try to save money when I choose my accommodations. Instead of staying in big fancy hotels, I prefer to stay in hostels. Hostels may not have all of the amenities of a hotel, but they are still comfortable and the staff is usually very helpful.
我在住宿方面也会省钱。相比舒适的酒店，我更喜欢住在招待所。招待所确实没有酒店那么齐全的设备，但那里也很舒适，员工都特别乐于助人。
One of my favorite things to do is try new foods while I am traveling. I still try to cut down on spending too much money by eating at local restaurants. The local foods and shops are usually much cheaper than the places built for tourists and the food is usually much better!
在旅行中，我最喜欢做的事情之一就是尝试新的食物。我喜欢在当地的饭店吃，这样可以节省开支。当地的饭店通常比旅游景点的食物便宜，而且更好吃！
The reason I try to save money on transportation, accommodations and food, is to spend more money on activities. My favorite activities are often being outside in nature. On my last trip I got to climb mountains, ride in boats and see many different animals. I like to see old buildings and historical sites and generally get to know the culture.
我在食、住、行节省开支的原因是想要花更多的钱在我喜欢的活动上。我最喜欢做的是外出接近大自然。上次旅行，我爬了山，划了船，看到了各种各样的动物。我喜欢参观历史古迹和风景名胜。
For me, traveling on a budget is a great way experience local culture and see how the local people live. You sleep near their homes, you eat the same food and ride the same buses as them. I really recommend that everyone try traveling this way.
对于我来说，穷游能够让我体验当地文化，感受当地人的生活。你住在他们附近，吃相同的食物，坐同一辆公交。希望你也能够像我一样，爱上这种旅游方式。
