For most of us, a train journey means a sleepy-eyed commute to work. For trainiacs, they're another notch in the little black book.
But for a lucky few, a rail journey is an expedition through cultures and across lands, providing an experience that's equaled by no other means of transport.
Here are 10 of the best.
對我們大多數來說，坐一次火車便是前往工作地途中的睡眼朦朧。對于火車迷來說那是生命中不可替代的記憶。
不過對于一小部分幸運者，一次火車出行則意味著一次跨越不同文化和地域的探險之旅，這是其他任何交通工具所不能媲美的。
以下就是10大最佳火車之旅：
1. Eastern and Oriental Express
Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore
Eastern and Oriental Express
泰國、馬來西亞和新加坡
Champagne, music, velvet couch -- wouldn't you be laughing too?
香檳，音樂，天鵝絨沙發—你難道還不夠幸運嗎？
Sure, you could fly between Bangkok and Singapore in a couple of hours, but you’d miss this Agatha Christie-like journey with an Oriental twist through the heart of the Malay Peninsular.
的確，你用幾小時就能乘飛機往來于曼谷和新加坡，不過這樣你將失去一次如同阿加西.克里斯蒂偵探小說般的旅程，乘坐行駛在蜿蜒鐵道上的火車，穿梭于馬來半島的核心地帶。
Sister train to Europe’s Venice Simplon Orient Express, an open-air observation car allows heady aromas of the Orient to waft onboard. Accompanied by the tinkle of ivory, the Piano Bar is the social hub where tall Singapore Slings garnished with fresh fruit are de rigeur.
同歐洲的威尼斯-辛普倫-東方快車一樣，全景式觀光車廂充滿了濃郁的東方氣息。在社交中心鋼琴吧里，于優美琴聲的伴奏中來一大杯配上鮮果的新加坡司令更是必不可少。
Upper and lower berths and en suite bathrooms complete the picture in three cabin configurations: Pullman, State and Presidential cabins.
列車提供有普通臥鋪、豪華套間和總統包間，這些都配有上下鋪和浴室。
Boarding: Singapore or Bangkok
乘車地點：新加坡或者曼谷
Cost: Pullman Cabin US$3,070; Presidential Suite US$6,130.
費用：普通臥鋪 3070美元；總統套間6130美元
