Todd: So, Simon, are you still planning to take trip to Southeast Asia?
托德：西蒙，你還在計劃去東南亞旅行嗎？
Simon: Yeah, I really like Southeast Asia so I would like to go there again.
西蒙：對，我真的非常喜歡東南亞，所以我很想再去一次。
Todd: Oh, cool. When you go, are you taking a tour, packaged tour or are you just going to go on your own like a backpacker?
托德：哦，真酷。你是打算跟旅行團去還是做背包客獨自旅行呢？
Simon: Well, I haven't decided yet. Ah, both have their advantages and their disadvantages. (Mm, yeah!) Um, well, let's say with backpacking, it's cheap, and you can meet a lot of interesting people and you can sometimes stumble upon, really, really cool things or interesting places by chance.
西蒙：嗯，我還沒有決定。兩種方式都有利有弊。（是啊！）嗯，就比如背包旅行吧，這種旅游非常便宜，你會遇到很多有意思的人，有時也會意外發現非常棒的事情，或是偶然發現有意思的地方。
Todd: Hm, it's true, but if you do a packaged tour, they usually have the expertise about the area. You'll have a guide who can speak the language.
托德：沒錯，不過如果你背包旅行，通常會有了解那些地區的專家。你可以找個會說當地語言的導游。
Simon: Well, if I go for a short-time, which is probably the case I think packaged tours have, are also good because you're there for a short time. Everything is provided for you and you can just enjoy fun in the sun, or culture. Basically, your mind can relax. When you're a backpacker you always have to think about everything, you know. "Can I find a place to stay?", "Is this place safe?" you know, "Are my belongings safe?" uh, things like that. Packaged tour you just sit back and relax.
西蒙：如果是短期旅行，我認為跟團比較好，因為你只去旅行很短的時間。跟團旅游的話，他們會為你提供所有東西，你只要在陽光下享受樂趣就好了，可以盡情感受那里的文化。基本來說，你可以放松精神。而背包旅行的話，你要一直考慮所有事情。比如“我可以找到住的地方嗎？”“這個地方安全嗎？”或是“我的財物安全吧？”你會一直考慮這些事情。跟團旅游就什么都不用管，放松就好了。
Todd: Yeah, I think it's always best to take a packaged tour if you travel with somebody, but it's always best to do backpacking if you're going to travel alone.
托德：對，我認為如果你和某個人一起旅游，那跟旅行團比較好，如果你自己旅行那背包旅行比較好。
Simon: Absolutely, I agree. If you're alone, in, as a backpacker, you can meet people. You're forced to meet people.
西蒙：我完全同意。如果你獨自旅游的話，背包旅行可以讓你遇到很多人。你一定會遇到很多人。
Todd: Yeah, that's true.
托德：對，沒錯。
Simon: Ah, if you took a packaged tour alone you'd probably be one lonely person, sitting on the beach, drinking your glass of lemonade or whatever drank and sitting there reading a book.
西蒙：如果你獨自旅游卻跟團的話，那你就會非常孤獨，獨自坐在海灘上喝檸檬汽水或其他飲料，或者獨自看書。
Todd: So, on your trip to Southest Asia, are you going along with somebody?
托德：那你去東南亞旅游是打算和誰一起去嗎？
Simon: Well, we'll see won't we.
西蒙：嗯，我們拭目以待吧。
