Aeroplanes have the reputation of being dangerous and even hardenedtravellers are intimidated by them. They also have the disadvantage of being anexpensive form of transport. But nothing can match them for speed and comfort.Travelling at a height of 30, 000 feet, far above the clouds, and at over 500miles an hour is an exhilarating experience. You do not have to devise ways oftaking your mind off the journey, for an aeroplane gets you to your destinationrapidly. For a few hours, you settle back in a deep armchair to enjoy theflight. The real escapist can watch a film and sip champagne on some services.But even when such refinements are not available, there is plenty to keep youoccupied. An aeroplane offers you an unusual and breathtaking view of theworld. You soar effortlessly over high mountains and deep valleys. You reallysee the shape of the land. If the landscape is hidden from view, you can enjoythe extraordinary sight of unbroken cloud plains that stretch out for milesbefore you, while the sun shines brilliantly in a clear sky. The journey is sosmooth that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping. Howeveryou decide to spend your time, one thing is certain: you will arrive at yourdestination fresh and uncrumpled. You will not have to spend the next few daysrecovering from a long and arduous journey.
出远门的人常常需要决定是走旱路、水路,还是坐飞机。很少有人能够真正喜欢坐几个小时以上的火车。车厢很快就变得拥挤、闷热,想摆脱开旅途的困扰是很难的。看书只能解决部分问题。车轮与铁轨间单调的嘎喳声很快就会送你进入梦乡。白天是忽睡忽醒,到了夜晚,你真想睡了,却很难入睡。即使你走运弄到一个卧铺,夜间有一半时间你会盯着车顶那盏小蓝灯而睡不着觉;要不然就为查票摸索你的车票。一旦抵达目的地,你总是疲惫不堪。乘汽车作长途旅行则更加不舒服,因为连看书都几乎不可能。在公路上还好,你至少能以相当快的速度安全地向前行。但旅行的大部分时间都花在路上,而且只有很少的服务设施,交通也很拥挤。相比之下,坐船旅行或环游可以得到文明世界的各种享受。你可以在甲板上伸展四肢、做游戏,还能见到各种有趣的人,能享用各种美味佳肴当然,这一切只有在大海风平浪静的情况下才有可能。如果大海肆虐起来,你就可能晕船,那种难受劲儿是任何一种别的旅行方式都不会带来的。即便风平浪静,坐船旅行也要占用很长时间。没有多少人会为了享受坐船旅行的乐趣而牺牲假期的时间。
