本期对话:
ERIC:The summer holiday is coming. Do you have any plan for it?
DENNY:I will take my mom to Bali.
ERIC:Oh, the scenery there is marvelous. Are you going with a tour agency or independent travel?
DENNY:The latter, of course. In a package tour, what I really hate is that we are forced to spend lots of time shopping even if we have little interest in the goods they recommend.
ERIC:Yes, another disadvantage is that the tourists have to follow the travel agency’s schedule.
DENNY:I know, but in an independent travel, we can make our own itinerary.
ERIC:And besides that, it’s great to choose your own travel mates.
埃里克:要放暑假了。你有什么打算吗?
丹尼:我要带我妈去巴厘岛。
埃里克:哦,那里的景色美极了。你是跟旅行团还是自助游?
丹尼:当然是自助游。跟团最讨厌的地方就是我们要被迫花时间购物,哪怕我们对他们推荐的东西一点兴趣都没有。
埃里克:是啊,跟团还有一个缺点就是游客必须听从旅行社的日程安排。
丹尼:我知道,但要是自助游的话,我们就能自主制定行程。
埃里克:不仅如此,能自己选择旅伴也是件很棒的事。
