索耶:好吧,我知道法國TGV高速列車有從巴黎發車到馬賽。
馬丁:哦,所以你也有考慮要搭火車!
索耶:有啦。
搭火車旅行很輕鬆,而且大概三個小時就能到馬賽。
不過一旦到了馬賽,我們還是得四處往返啊。
馬丁:嗯,馬賽有地鐵喔。
索耶:那從馬賽開車到佛羅倫斯如何?
這個區域的風景絕美;附近還有古羅馬遺跡。
有些還就在沿路上。
馬丁:當然可行。
索耶:然後,如果我們發現感興趣的東西,還可以停下來或繞過去看看。
馬丁:不過,火車之旅舒適多了。
我們不必擔心迷路或發生事故;而且,還可以在火車上欣賞風景。
索耶:我們可以用GPS,而且我們也會有汽車保險。
此外,迷路有時候是冒險的一部分。
我們沒問題的。
馬丁:如果我們開車,會有足夠時間看所有景點嗎?
索耶:當然。
我們可以在佛羅倫斯還車,然後飛回巴黎。
馬丁:好吧,也許開車加上搭火車這樣的搭配組合會不錯。
