2019年2月15日 14:21水陆两用车考虑一下?
A tourist seeking advice on driving from Sydney to New Zealand has received somewhat expected responses, with pleas they first consult a world map and potentially a travel agent.
为从悉尼自驾至新西兰,一名游客广泛寻求意见并得到若干意料中的回应。有人让他们先查看世界地图或咨询旅行社。
Plea:请求
On Thursday a TripAdvisor user posted under the heading: "Drive from Sydney to New Zealand in December ... please reply".
周四,一名TripAdvisor用户发文求助,题为:“12月自驾从悉尼到新西兰……求回复!”
In the post they said they were from India and planning to travel to Sydney in December.
文中透露,发帖人来自印度,计划在12月出游悉尼。
From there they wanted to drive to Auckland, down to Queenstown and fly back to India.
他们想从悉尼自驾前往奥克兰,再南下皇后镇,最后飞回印度。
"Is it possible that I hire a car in Sydney and drive throughout [until] Queenstown and drop the car there[?]" they asked.
“请问我可不可以在悉尼租车,开到皇后镇还车?”
They also wanted to know if they would need different visas to drive between the two countries.
此外,他们还想知道澳新两国的切换是否需要不同护照。
Understandably the post received a mix of confused and mocking replies.
也就不难理解,为何回复尽是困惑与嘲讽。
Mock:嘲弄
The first comment pointed out the blatantly obvious.
第一条评论一针见血指出毛病。
Blatantly:公然地
"You cannot drive between Sydney and Auckland - you'll get wet crossing the Tasman Sea."
“在悉尼和奥克兰之间你是没法儿自驾的 – 会在穿越塔斯曼海时弄湿自己。”
Another person suggested they at least look into the water car option for the 2223-kilometre open-sea crossing.
有人建议,为了2223公里的公海跨越,不妨考虑一下水陆两用车。
"Hi. You'll need one of these and a lot of luck."
“你好,你需要如下车型以及很多很多运气。”
Some posters thought they might need to leave the travel arrangements to the experts.
另一些网友认为他们应该把这次行程规划留给专家。
"I suggest you consult a travel agent to arrange your flights, bookings and rental cars. You cannot drive the Tasman Sea between Australia and [New Zealand]."
“我建议你找旅行社来安排航班、酒店预订和租车事宜。澳新之间的塔斯曼海不能驾车穿越。”
Meanwhile, some people took pity on the rookie traveller.
与此同时,也有人对这位菜鸟旅行者抱以怜悯。
Rookie:新秀,菜鸟
"I think you might be getting confused with the North and South Islands. Some rental car companies will let you take a car over on the ferry between islands, and some will require two different contracts. Sydney to Auckland, as mentioned previously, you will need to fly between."
“我想你可能被南岛和北岛弄晕了。有些租车公司允许用户搭乘轮渡穿梭南北岛,也有公司需要用户签订两份合同。至于此前提到的悉尼至奥克兰,你需要搭飞机。”
Despite dozens of sarcastic, and also helpful, comments, the tourist still did not seem understand the scale of their endeavour to drive across the Tasman Sea.
尽管收到许多不乏讽刺的有用回复,这位旅客似乎仍然对自驾穿越塔斯曼海的难度不甚理解。
Endeavour:努力
Sarcastic:嘲讽的
"Sydney-Auckland airfare is coming around 20K in December [and] we are 4 pax so 80K in total. Is flying cheaper or car will be cheaper?"
“12月悉尼至奥克兰的机票价格大概在两万左右,我们有4个人,需要花8万。请问飞机和自驾哪个更便宜?”
One supportive user made another plea they seek professional advice.
一名乐于助人的用户再次请求他们咨询专业意见。
"Please don't get me wrong, but since you still seem to think you can drive from Sydney to Auckland, I suggest you visit a travel agent and have them help you plan your trip.
“可不要误会我的意思,只是你们似乎仍然觉得可以从悉尼自驾前往奥克兰。我建议你们找旅行社帮忙规划行程。”
"Or if you are set on doing this yourself, look at a map and read some travel guides."
“或者如果你们想要自己动手,去找一份地图,再参考一些旅行指南。”
