15 things to know before you go to Australia.

我是克里斯，這裡是黃色製作公司。

情態副詞

I do travel guides to help you travel intelligently, affordably, and comfortably.

我做的旅行指南能幫助您明智、實惠、舒適地旅行。

And in this video, I'm gonna tell you everything you need to know before you come into this amazing country, including how to get in, how to get around, what to eat while you're here, what to see, give you an orientation on it.

在這段視頻中，我會告訴你在來到這個神奇的國家之前需要了解的一切，包括如何入境、如何四處遊玩、在這裡吃什麼、看什麼，併為你做一個介紹。

Most importantly, I'm gonna tell you how to have fun while you're here.

最重要的是，我會告訴你們如何在這裡玩得開心。

By the way, you should also know it can be quite windy in Australia, so hopefully I don't get blown away in this video.

順便說一句，你們應該知道澳洲的風很大，所以希望我在視頻中不會被吹走。

Now, the first thing to know is that Australia is big.

現在，首先要知道的是，澳洲很大。

In fact, Australia is the sixth largest country in the world in terms of land mass, but only 25 million people live here.

事實上，澳洲是世界上陸地面積第六大的國家，但只有 2500 萬人生活在這裡。

To give you an idea of the size, if you're driving from Brisbane to Perth, that's gonna take you about three days.

如果從布里斯班開車到珀斯，大約需要三天時間。

The flight is about five hours, so kind of similar if you're going from coast to coast across the United States of America.

飛行時間約為 5 個小時，與從美國海岸到海岸的飛行時間差不多。

The number one mistake that tourists make coming to Australia, simply trying to see way too much on their first trip.

來澳洲旅遊的遊客最容易犯的錯誤，就是第一次旅行就想看太多。

You can't do it all, you can't see the whole place.

你不可能做到這一切，你不可能看到整個地方。

Pick a region or two, stick to one or two cities.

選擇一兩個地區，堅守一兩個城市。

A great start, if it's your first trip, would be to do Sydney and Melbourne and leave the rest for next time.

如果您是第一次旅行，最好先去雪梨和墨爾本，其他地方留待下次再去。

Now, the second thing to know is some information to help you get oriented on Australia.

現在，要了解的第二件事是幫助您瞭解澳洲的一些資訊。

I mentioned just to stick to one or two regions, so let's go ahead and talk about Australia's major regions.

我剛才提到只談一兩個地區，那麼我們就來談談澳洲的主要地區。

Starting on the east coast is Sydney, home to 5.3 million people.

雪梨位於東海岸，擁有 530 萬人口。

It's Australia's biggest city with the famous Opera House, but Sydney isn't the capital of Australia.

雪梨是澳洲最大的城市，擁有著名的悉尼歌劇院，但雪梨並不是澳洲的首都。

從雪梨向南驅車三小時即可到達。

It's a planned capital with 400,000 residents, kind of like a mini Washington DC.

這是一個規劃中的首都，有 40 萬居民，有點像小型華盛頓特區。

Swinging around to the south coast, we've got Melbourne.

轉到南海岸，我們就到了墨爾本。

It's spelled like Melbourne, but it's pronounced Melbourne.

它的拼寫和墨爾本一樣，但發音是 Melbourne。

It's Australia's second largest city with 5.1 million people but it could surpass Sydney in a few years.

它是澳洲第二大城市，擁有 510 萬人口，但幾年後就會超過雪梨。

Melbourne is more artsy and funky than Sydney.

墨爾本比雪梨更有藝術氣息，也更時髦。

Continuing around to South Australia, we've got Adelaide.

繼續前往南澳大利亞州，我們來到了阿德萊德。

It's known as Australia's festival city with famous wine-growing regions.

它被譽為澳洲的節日之城，擁有著名的葡萄種植區。

Perth is the capital of Western Australia.

If you want the most sunshine of Australia's big cities, look no further than Perth.

如果您想在澳洲的大城市中享受最燦爛的陽光，那就來珀斯吧。

沒錯，這就是牛排館的名字由來。

No, you won't find an Outback Steakhouse in Australia's Outback.

不，在澳洲內陸找不到 Outback 牛排屋。

The Outback is not to be confused with the bush.

不要把 "傲虎"（Outback）與 "灌木叢"（Bush）混為一談。

If you hear the term the bush, that usually refers to the suburbs of the bigger cities.

如果你聽到 "灌木叢 "這個詞，通常指的是大城市的郊區。

The Outback is even further out and more even undeveloped.

內陸地區更遠，甚至更不發達。

Mostly nature-based and indigenous experiences is what you'll find in the Outback.

在內陸地區，您會發現大部分都是以自然為基礎的原住民體驗。

Some might say the Outback is the real Australia.

有人可能會說，內陸才是真正的澳洲。

Now back on the west coast, you'll find the Great Barrier Reef, a 2,600 kilometer long set of reefs home to an amazing underwater wonderland of aquatic creatures.

現在回到西海岸，您會發現大堡礁，這是一個長達 2,600 公里的珊瑚礁群，是水生生物的神奇水下仙境。

But the Great Barrier Reef also has 300 islands to explore for land lovers.

不過，對於陸地愛好者來說，大堡礁還有 300 個島嶼可供探索。

This is really paradise for snorkelers and scuba divers.

這裡真是浮潛者和水肺潛水員的天堂。

The third thing to know is Australia is more than just desert.

第三點要知道的是，澳洲不僅僅是沙漠。

Yes, Australia gets all four seasons, including winter and including snow.

是的，澳洲四季如春，包括冬季和雪季。

You'll find them mostly in the southeast, near Sydney and Melbourne.

它們主要分佈在東南部，靠近雪梨和墨爾本。

And if you're from the Northern Hemisphere, remember the seasons here are flipped.

如果您來自北半球，請記住這裡的季節是翻轉的。

So summer is December to February and winter here is June to August.

是以，這裡的夏季是 12 月到次年 2 月，冬季是 6 月到 8 月。

The fourth thing you'll wanna know is about the really cool animals you can see when you come to Australia.

您想知道的第四件事是，來到澳洲，您能看到哪些非常酷的動物。

And there was one actually part of Australia I left off when I went around because I wanna mention it now, which is the island of Tasmania.

實際上，我在環遊澳洲時遺漏了一個地方，因為我現在想提一提，那就是塔斯馬尼亞島。

This island is off the south of the mainland of Australia.

沒錯，塔斯馬尼亞惡魔是真的。

Not the Looney Tunes character, but there's actually an animal named the Tasmanian devil that comes from this island.

不是《魯尼 Tunes》中的角色，而是有一種名叫塔斯馬尼亞惡魔的動物就來自這座小島。

Now the five animals that you'll wanna see in Australia according to the Sydney Wildlife Zoo are the kangaroo, the wombat, the platypus, koalas, and of course, crocodiles.

根據雪梨野生動物園的介紹，您在澳洲最想看到的五種動物是袋鼠、袋熊、鴨嘴獸、考拉，當然還有鱷魚。

Now my favorite of the Australian animals has to be the quokka, and it wasn't one that's on this sign.

現在，我最喜歡的澳洲動物一定是狴犴，但它並不是這個標誌上的動物。

It's known as the happiest animal in the world.

它被稱為世界上最快樂的動物。

You'll find that one on an island called Rottnest Island.

你會在一個叫羅特納斯島（Rottnest Island）的小島上找到它。

And if you wanna take a trip to Rottnest Island to visit the quokkas, you'll find it just off the coast of Perth.

如果您想去羅特納斯島（Rottnest Island）探訪狴犴，您會發現它就在珀斯海岸附近。

If you're looking for these animals and think you'll find them roaming the streets of Sydney and Melbourne, I'm sorry, but you won't.

如果您正在尋找這些動物，並認為您會在雪梨和墨爾本的街道上找到它們，很抱歉，您不會找到的。

You will find kangaroos roaming the streets of like way out in the suburbs or places like that.

你會發現袋鼠在街道上漫步，比如在郊區或類似的地方。

But if you do see a kangaroo, please keep your distance.

但如果您看到袋鼠，請保持距離。

They can actually kick, and if they do, they really hurt.

它們真的會踢人，而且一旦踢人，會非常疼。

And then of course, koalas, one of the quintessential experiences is cuddling a koala.

當然還有考拉，擁抱考拉是最典型的體驗之一。

And so most of the zoos that have koalas often offer for an extra price, cuddle a koala experiences.

是以，大多數飼養考拉的動物園都會額外提供擁抱考拉的體驗。

Though, if you do cuddle a koala, you will find they're actually not that cuddly.

不過，如果你真的抱過考拉，你會發現它們其實並不那麼可愛。

The fifth thing to know before you go to Australia is about the money.

去澳洲之前需要了解的第五件事是關於錢。

In Australia, they use the Australian dollar, abbreviated AUD.

At the time I made this video, one US dollar was about $1.50 Australian dollars.

在我製作這段視頻時，1 美元約合 1.50 澳元。

Australian money is colorful and plasticky.

澳洲貨幣五顏六色，塑膠質地。

The coins, there are no pennies, and there are $1 and $2 coins.

硬幣沒有一分錢，有 1 美元和 2 美元的硬幣。

Credit cards and debit cards are taken almost everywhere.

信用卡和借記卡幾乎隨處可見。

I will say on this trip, I have not used cash once.

在這次旅行中，我一次也沒有使用過現金。

Some stores may charge a small surcharge for using your credit card, and some places may give you a discount for using cash, but that's not to say that they don't take it.

有些商店可能會對使用信用卡收取小額附加費，有些地方可能會對使用現金給予折扣，但這並不是說他們不收現金。

Now on the costs of traveling to Australia, it's actually kind of expensive.

至於去澳洲旅行的費用，其實也挺貴的。

Australia has one of the highest living costs in the world, and so you'll find your trip here to be a lot more expensive than other Southeast Asian countries like Thailand or places like that.

澳洲是世界上生活費用最高的國家之一，是以您會發現這裡的旅行費用要比泰國等其他東南亞國家貴得多。

One thing to be aware of when it comes to restaurants is that many restaurants on Sundays and holidays charge more.

在餐館就餐時需要注意的一點是，許多餐館在週日和節假日會收取更高的費用。

So you might find restaurants charging 10 to 15% more just for the privilege of eating there on a Sunday or a holiday, so be aware of that.

是以，如果您在週日或節假日就餐，餐館可能會多收 10%至 15%的費用，所以一定要注意這一點。

But one nice thing at restaurants that'll save you a little bit of money is tipping really isn't a thing here.

不過，在餐館裡有一件好事可以讓你省下一點錢，那就是這裡真的不收小費。

You'll find some of the higher-end restaurants may give you a tipping option, 5%, maybe customary, but you're not gonna be inundated with tip jars at every coffee shop and those sorts of things.

你會發現一些高端餐廳可能會給你小費選項，5%，也許是慣例，但你不會在每家咖啡店都看到小費罐之類的東西。

So the price you see is the price you pay, and taxes are included in those prices, which makes it easy to know how much things actually cost.

是以，您所看到的價格就是您所支付的價格，而且這些價格中包含稅費，這樣就很容易知道東西的實際價格。

The eighth thing to know is about visas, and all visitors to Australia require a visa, no, not the credit card, but a visa to actually come to the country with the exception of New Zealanders.

第八件要知道的事是關於簽證，所有到澳洲的遊客都需要簽證，不，不是信用卡，而是真正到澳洲來的簽證，新西蘭人除外。

Residents of many countries, including the USA and Canada, can obtain visas online.

包括美國和加拿大在內的許多國家的居民都可以在網上獲得簽證。

They're like 15 bucks, they're pretty cheap, and they often get approved in 24 hours or less.

只需 15 美元，非常便宜，而且通常能在 24 小時或更短時間內獲得準許。

So it's pretty easy, but make sure you do that before you show up to the airport, otherwise you won't be able to check in for your flight.

所以這很簡單，但一定要在到達機場前完成，否則就無法辦理登機手續。

Number seven, let's talk about getting into Australia.

第七，我們來談談進入澳洲的問題。

Australia's biggest airport is Sydney International Airport.

澳洲最大的機場是雪梨國際機場。

If you're flying in, chances are you'll be flying into Sydney.

如果您乘飛機前來，很可能會飛往雪梨。

You could also be flying into Melbourne, that is Australia's second largest airport, but they are both modern, clean, nice airports.

您也可以飛往墨爾本，那是澳洲第二大機場，但它們都是現代化、乾淨、漂亮的機場。

Qantas is the flagship carrier of Australia, flagship, it's like their national carrier.

澳航是澳洲的旗艦航空公司，旗艦，就像是他們的國家航空公司。

But you should know, if you're connecting internal to Australia, you will have to clear customs at your first point of entry, and then you can reconnect.

但您應該知道，如果您在國內轉機前往澳洲，您必須在第一個入境點辦理清關手續，然後才能重新轉機。

So if you are connecting, coming in internationally, and then connecting domestically, you'll probably wanna allow at least three hours for that domestic connection, so you can clear passports and customs, and then recheck in your bag for your next flight.

是以，如果您在國際機場轉機，然後在國內轉機，您可能需要為國內轉機預留至少三個小時的時間，以便您辦理護照和海關手續，然後重新托運行李，搭乘下一班飛機。

The eighth thing to know is about getting around Australia, and getting around the cities, at least, if you're in the big cities of Sydney and Melbourne, they've got pretty good public transportation.

第八件要知道的事是在澳洲的交通，至少，如果您在雪梨和墨爾本等大城市，這些城市的公共交通非常發達。

The rest of Australia, the public transit isn't so great, so you'll want to rent a car and drive a car.

澳洲其他地區的公共交通並不發達，是以您需要租車自駕。

Now, if you are renting a car, beware they drive on the left side of the road here.

現在，如果您要租車，請注意他們在這裡是靠左行駛的。

So if you're not that familiar with driving on the left side of the road, well, just be careful.

所以，如果你對在道路左側駕駛不太熟悉，那就小心點。

Maybe stay out of the big cities, just stay in the country where there's a few less cars.

也許可以遠離大城市，呆在車少的鄉下。
