参考译文

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，还能也很见到各种有趣的人，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
