旅游英语阅读：出门旅游须知是五件事

　　导语：出门旅行不比在家里，准备不够充分很可能会引发一些尴尬的事情哦。今天小编要分享的旅游英语阅读就是有关于出门旅游须知的一些事情的。如果你没有出过远门，第一次独自上路的话就更要注意了。

　　No. 1: Change Money At Home

　　Olivia says that carrying a large amount of cash makes you vulnerable to pickpockets. Agree. She says it’s better to rely on your ATM and credit cards. Er, I would say it depends. In a lot of places in Asia, ATM machines are hard to come by and may not accept all ATM cards. In some resorts and hotels in Asia, credit cards are also not accepted. The exchange rate may also be far worse, depending on the location. Unless you’re staying in a posh destination, never assume that e-transactions will work. Do your research before departure and prepare accordingly。

　　不得不说之一：在家换好钱

　　Olivia说身携巨款的你很难让你不吸引到小偷的注意。个人完全赞同。她说比起现金来，你的自动取款机和信用卡更值得信任。嗯，个人认为这应因地而异。在亚洲的很多地方，自动取款机并不是总能与你擦肩而过，而且也并非你所有的卡都可以在这些自动取款机上使用。在亚洲的一些旅游胜地和饭店，信用卡是不可用的。而由于地区的不同，利率的兑换问题更是令人头痛。除非你的目的地很现代，很繁华，否则永远不要假想那里的网上交易平台运转良好。在出发之前一定要做足相应的准备。

　　No. 2: Deals on Last-Minute Booking

　　Last minutes deals are indeed becoming more and more rare. Better to watch out for sales and promotions (which regularly comes up anyway) to save on airfares and hotel bookings。

　　不得不说之二：坚持到最后一秒再预定

　　最后一秒预定这个方法现在已经开始显得越来越重要。为了节省机票和住宿费，最好时刻注意哪些打折或是让利的信息(基本上，不论如何，他们总是很有规则地出现)

　　No. 3: Locals Are Experts

　　Absolutely not. In fact, in a lot of cases, locals are foreigners to their own territory. In fact, if you’re heading off the beaten track, locals can’t even understand why, out of all the possible places in the world, you would be interested in their locality。

　　不得不说之三：当地人才是真正的专家。

　　这是完全错误的。事实上，在很多的情况下，对于自己的土地而言，本地人才是真正的外国人。当你被一件对于当地人来说极其常规的事阻扰时，当地人甚至不会明白这个世界上有这么多的你可以去的地方，为什么你会对他们的地方产生兴趣。

　　No. 4: You Get What You Pay For

　　No, particularly in Asia, there are really good deals to be had, some worth far more than you have paid. And vice versa: some expensive digs aren’t just worth the top dollar they ask for. Do your research, and look for online reviews。

　　不得不说之四：付了钱，你就是老大。

　　这是错误的想法。特别是在亚洲，有许多的很好的交易。有些的确是物超所值，但反之也亦然。有些贵的离谱的东西并不一定值那个价。先研究一下，并且上网做好准备工作。

　　No. 5: Buy Extras Ahead

　　When buying packages, you will always be lured into getting a “package”， agents telling you it will come out cheaper that way. But, sometimes it pays to be prudent and cross the bridge when you get there。

　　旅游胜地：埃塞俄比亚的古迹

　　Much of the fascination of Ethiopia lies in its myriadhistorical sites, the obelisks and stele of Axum, the churches and coptic monasteries in the Tigre, in the Lake Tana isles and in the Lalibela: the African Jerusalem with its monolithic churches. In Ethiopia there are also nine national parks, two of which include the mountain groups of the Simien and the Bale, while the others lie in the Rift Valley towards Kenya. The unforeseeable wild landscapes are surely the main attraction of these parks, where many of the animal species are protected, and some of them areendemic to the area. The proximity of Ethiopia to the Equator and the variety of its habitats make it one of the richest countries in Africa in wild bird life.

　　History and nature are not the only attractions of this surprising country. It is a unique experienceto come into contact with its people, so deeply rooted in their traditional culture, to participate in religious rites in one of the many Coptic churches, to meet native populations like the Hamer, the Mursi, the Caro and the many others whose lifestyle is hard to imagine today, so far is itfromour modern life.

　　埃塞俄比亚这个国家最让人神往的便是它无数的历史古迹，方尖石塔，阿克苏姆(Axum)石碑，教堂，塔纳湖岛Tigre的科普特人修道院，以及拉利贝拉(Lalibela)的非洲耶路撒冷的岩石教堂。在埃塞俄比亚还有9个国家公园，其中两座公园包括塞米恩山(Simien)和贝尔山(Bale)山群，其他的则坐落在东非大裂谷接近肯尼亚。一望无际的土地就是这些公园吸引游客的地方，这里有很多被保护的动物物种，其中有些动物是这个地区特有的。埃塞俄比亚靠近赤道，它栖息地的各种各样使得这个国家成为南非野生鸟类最多的国家之一。

　　当然，历史和文化还不是这个地方最引人注意的唯一事物，还有这里人们根深蒂固的独特的传统文化。这里科普特教会的宗教信仰，这里本地的人群，Hamer，Mursi，Caro以及其他一些，他们的生活方式是我们所无法想象的，离现代生活太遥远了。
