关于旅游,托福口语向来考的内容多变,从旅游的方式、地点,到旅游的经历,再到对旅游的感受,都是考生们应该熟知掌握的内容。就旅游方式而言,考生们回答问题时选择*多的可能是backpack travel 背包旅行/自助旅行,或者driving tour 自驾游,除此之外,solo/independent travel 自助旅游,package tour 随团旅行也是比较受欢迎的。其他的,比如guided tour 有导游带领的旅游,cycling tour 骑自行车旅游,coach/greyhound travel 巴士旅游,charter tour 租车/船旅游,cruise 乘船巡游也是很多同学想要选择的,可能有时碍于不会表达就因此放弃转而选择好描述的内容去说。在回答独立口语问题时,容易描述的内容固然好,因为这至少*你的流畅度是OK的,但趋于平淡枯燥的答案很难让考官感兴趣,那就不如把本来想说的说出来,然后再去下功夫练你的流畅度。所以,大家想要描述租车旅游是自己*爱的旅游方式,那就从今天开始记住它叫做charter tour吧。
Ø 首先,关于独自旅行,考生们可以说:
Solo travel is the quickest and easiest way to grow your independence. 独自旅行是能培养独立性*快*简单的方法。
Being alone on the road focuses your energies and attention. It intensifies the travel experience. 独自旅行能使你保持体力和注意力,并能加强你旅行的感受。
Travelling alone is ideal for unobtrusively observing. Whether in a forest or a crowd, the single traveller can watch, listen, and learn with a minimum of disruption. 独自旅行能使你观察到不易察觉的东西。不论是在森林里还是人群中,独自旅行者都能不被打扰的用心去看,去听,去学去感受。
Ø 关于自由行:
Itineraries can be planned, and rooms, transport and meals can be picked without hesitation or haggles. This freedom can energize you. 你可以自己定行程,并且不用为了订房间、交通和饭菜而犹豫和争吵。
You can indulge yourself fully; sleep as much or as little as you like; rest when you want; pour it on when you’re feeling ambitious. 你可以尽情享受尽情放纵自己,想睡多少觉睡多少,累了就休息,兴奋了就赶紧去疯狂。
Ø 关于跟团旅行:
Package tour can be more budget. Tour operators make use of bulk bookings from hotels, and are able to get good deals for food, sight seeing tours, transportation and any other services. 跟团旅行更经济实惠一些,因为旅行社利用团购可以拿到很好的折扣在酒店、食物、观光和交通等项目上。
If you choose to travel during the peak season, there are little chances of securing accommodation and travel tickets. Opting for a holiday package would make it easier to travel in such a situation. 如果是旺季旅行,个人预定的住宿和机票很难被确保。而选择跟团就会好很多。
You can enjoy a tension free holiday: Choosing a tour operator to do most of the planning for the holiday saves you time and hassle. 你可以享受一个无压力的假期,因为有旅行社帮你做一大堆事而这给你省了时间和麻烦。
Ø 关于旅行的意义:
Travelling teaches me to live an adventure. When I look back, there might be ups and downs, prides and regrets. If I travelled as I would, at least these moments: bicycled across the Golden Gate Bridge, appeared on Italian TV, hiked a Mayan ruin, and learned Spanish in three months wouldn't be on my list of regrets.
旅行让生活变得冒险刺激。当我将来回顾人生,可能会看到起起伏伏,骄傲和遗憾。但是当我想要去旅行并且真正做到了时候,至少这些画面,比如骑自行车穿越金门大桥,出现在意大利电视上,徒步走在玛雅废墟上,三个月内学会西班牙语等等,都不会出现在我的遗憾的名单上。
Travelling helps you begin to know the world. If you go to Southeast Asia, you may encounter the slave trade. If Eastern Europe, you may see the effects of genocide and religious persecution. If Haiti, you’ll witness the ugly side of Western paternalism. And you will then encounter compassion. You will have a new-found respect for the pain and suffering that over half of the world takes for granted on a daily basis. And you will cherish your life.
旅行让你开始了解这个世界。如果你去东南亚,你可能会遇到奴隶交易;去东欧,你会看到种族灭绝和宗教迫害;而在海
