英國人最愛的十大旅游圣地

在《破產(chǎn)姐妹》(Two Broke Girls)今年第四季第6集中，破產(chǎn)姐妹也玩起了風(fēng)靡全球的airbnb，而她們的房客竟然是維密天使(Victoria’s Secret Angels)!那么airbnb和一般的酒店網(wǎng)站有什么區(qū)別呢?如何使用airbnb去外國人家里住呢?快來一起學(xué)習(xí)吧!

BnB，全稱為Bed and Breakfast，是旅館的一種，一般規(guī)模較小，許多由私人經(jīng)營。BnB并不豪華，但許多店主熱情好客，不少人還擅長烹飪，在提供一頓豐盛早餐的同時，也可以給客人提供很多當(dāng)?shù)氐男畔?。所以對于budget traveler來說，BnB是一個經(jīng)濟(jì)實惠的好選擇。airbnb這個網(wǎng)站就把全世界有房出租的房東和希望去當(dāng)?shù)厝思依镒∫蛔〉穆眯姓哌B接了起來。

If trekking the Great Wall of China or taking in the breathtaking views of the Grand Canyon make an appearance on your bucket list, you are not alone.

如果你的人生愿望是攀登萬里長城或一覽大峽谷動人心魄的美景，那么你不是一個人。

A new survey suggests that far from being couch potatoes as we're often portrayed, the British are really rather an adventurous bunch. At least in theory.

我們印象中的英國人就喜歡窩在沙發(fā)里看電視。但一項新調(diào)查表明，他們更愛冒險，至少理論上如此。

Figures from the CWM FX London Boat Show reveal that 40 per cent of Brits dream of making a pilgrimage to The Great Wall of China, which stretches for an incredible 5,500 miles across north of the country, while just over a third of people claim that visiting the Grand Canyon in Arizona tops their list of dream destinations.

CWM FX倫敦船展提供的數(shù)據(jù)表明，前往中國長城的朝圣之旅是40%英國人的夢想。長城綿延5500英里，位于中國北部。另有三分之一強(qiáng)的人表示亞利桑那州的大峽谷是他們最想去的地方。

And we're not afraid to strap on our walking boots either. Trekking the famous Inca Trail in Peru to reach the 15th-century ruins at Machu Picchu comes in at number three on the list, with a quarter of people claiming it is their most aspirational adventure.

我們英國人也不畏懼遠(yuǎn)足。探索秘魯馬丘比丘的印加遺址排名第3，四分之一的人表示可以追溯到15世紀(jì)的印加遺址才是他們的最愛。

This is closely followed by 21 per cent of Brits who say they dream of walking the length of the mighty River Nile.

緊隨其后的是尼羅河。21%的英國人夢想走完神圣的尼羅河。

And it appears that we're a fearless lot, as well. Around 17 per cent of those polled said they dream of diving with great white sharks, and a further 15 per cent are willing to risk life and limb to climb to the summit of Mount Everest.

調(diào)查還表明英國人有多么無畏。約17%的被調(diào)查者表示他們夢想和大白鯊一起潛水。15%的人想要冒著生命危險挑戰(zhàn)珠穆朗瑪峰。

But while men are more interested in water-based adventures, such as white water rafting down the Coruh River in Turkey, or sailing solo across the Atlantic, women prefer to keep their feet firmly on the ground.

男人更愛水上冒險，例如在土耳其湍急的喬魯赫河上漂流或是獨(dú)自駕船橫渡大西洋。而女人則更喜歡呆在陸地上。

The female of the species is just as adventurous as their male counterparts but, according to the figures, they'd rather walk their way around the world, visiting the Himalaya's in Nepal and trekking through South America.

女性的冒險精神完全不輸男性，但數(shù)據(jù)表明她們更喜歡徒步環(huán)游世界，例如造訪尼泊爾的喜馬拉雅山和去南美徒步旅行。

In reality, however, many of us will be staying a little closer to home during 2015.

然而事實上很多人在2015年都會呆在離家不遠(yuǎn)的地方。

A separate survey by comparison website TravelSupermarket suggests that just under a third of Brits will be opting for a staycation this year.

另一項由對比網(wǎng)站TravelSupermarket進(jìn)行的調(diào)查表明，三分之一弱的英國人今年會選擇居家度假。

Skydiving over the Great Barrier Reef will just have to wait.

所以去大堡礁跳傘什么的還是先等等吧。
