新概念文化大爆炸：世界上5大難以到達的旅遊勝地
Australia
新概念英語第三冊Lesson48中，作者講述了自己去巴爾幹半島旅遊的經歷，在偏僻的鄉間被村民們滿懷敵意地盯着，可把他嚇壞了。你有沒有去過這樣與世隔絕的地方呢？的確，這個世界上有些地方風景如畫，本該是旅遊勝地，但由於種種原因成爲我們難以涉足的地方。本期文化大爆炸我們就去看看世界上5個難以到達的絕佳旅遊地！
As the world becomes more and more traveled, fewer and fewer of these places can be found. These “forbidden destinations” can be quite attractive, but their remoteness and danger means that all but the most courageous (and foolish) travelers will cross them off of their to-visit list.
隨着世界上旅行者的足跡越來越廣，未被髮掘的旅遊目的地也越來越少。下面的這些“旅遊禁地”其實非常有魅力，但有一些因爲路途太遙遠，有些則因爲太危險，所以就算那些最勇敢的旅行者，也可能會把它們從自己的夢想目的地名單上劃掉。
Where are these unreachable destinations?
這些到不了的旅遊目的地都是哪些呢？
Cape York Peninsula, Australia
澳大利亞約克角半島
The Cape York Peninsula sits in Northernmost Australia. It is one of the most remote and undeveloped places in the entire world. It is very sparsely inhabited, with only a few tribes of Aboriginal Australians calling the area home. Some parts of the region can be seen as part of a 4×4 tour, though dangerously high temperatures and hazardous terrain can even make this a challenge.
約克角半島位於澳大利亞的最北部，是全世界最遙遠也未開發的地方之一。當地人煙稀少，只有幾個澳大利亞土著部落安家於此。你可能在某些旅行社提供的越野自駕遊行程中看到這一區域的某些地方，但這裏危險的高溫和地形會讓你的旅行變成一次冒險。

Antarctica
Antarctica
南極洲
People have been trying to traverse Antarctica for more than a century. Traveling inland on the world’s coldest continent is a very dangerous undertaking that can only be accomplished with professional support and a lot of cold weather travel experience. More-casual tourists can reach Antarctica by cruise ship. Even coming by plane is a tough proposition because there are no paved runways on the continent. So, despite its vast size, a majority of visitors to the Antarctic only actually set foot on a small section of coastline, leaving most of the continent completely untouched.
一個多世紀以來，人們都一直在嘗試穿越南極洲。這是世界上最寒冷的大陸，在南極洲內陸旅行會是非常危險的任務，通常只有在配備專業技術支持的情況下，擁有豐富的寒冷天氣旅行經驗的人才能完成。旅行者更常見的選擇是坐遊艇到達南極洲。就算是乘飛機來南極洲，也會是一個非常困難的想法，因爲南極大陸上並沒有鋪設好的飛機跑道。南極洲地域遼闊，大部分的旅行者真正踏上的也只是沿海岸線的很小區域，南極洲大部還是完全未有人涉足。
Congo
Congo
剛果
Congo (sometimes referred to as The Democratic Republic of Congo, or DRC for short) is a vast Central African nation with a wealth of beautiful landscapes, untouched nature, rivers, and wildlife. It is also one of the world’s most dangerous countries. Ongoing conflicts in the northern and eastern parts of the nation make safe travel impossible, and rampant crime and general instability make traveling to major cities outside of the conflict zones dangerous as well.
剛果（有時稱爲剛果民主共和國）是一個地域廣袤的非洲國家，國內風景非常美麗，有很多尚未有人涉足的自然地貌和河流，也有很多未被發現的野生動植物。剛果也是世界上最危險的國家之一。國內北部和東部地方持續不斷的衝突矛盾使得旅行無法保證安全，就算不去危險的衝突地區，剛果國內的主要城市犯罪猖獗全局不穩，同樣非常危險。
Afghanistan
Afghanistan
阿富汗
A land of amazing landscapes and exotic culture, Afghanistan was once a great tourist destination for intrepid backpackers. For the past thirty or so years, conflicts and political instability have made it virtually impossible to travel anywhere in the country without professional security people.
阿富汗是一片有着美麗風景和魅力異域文化的土地，對於勇敢的揹包客族來說是非常讚的旅行目的地。但在過去的30多年間，阿富汗國內衝突不斷，政壇動盪，沒有專業的安保人員隨行，想要在阿富汗國內旅行基本不可能。
Tristan da Cunha
Tristan da Cunha
特里斯坦-達庫尼亞羣島
Tristan da Cunha is the most remote inhabited place on earth. Siting in the South Atlantic, it is further from other inhabited lands than any island in the world’s oceans. That said, it is not suffering from conflict and has no natural barriers other than its sheer remoteness. The island can only be reached by ship (there are no airports). It takes several days to reach the island by sea, with most visitors catching a ride on a fishing or science vessels that visit the island several times per year. Tristan has no hotels, only self-catered cabins and home-stay opportunities.
位於南大西洋的特里斯坦-達庫尼亞羣島是地球上最遙遠的居住地，在全世界的海洋羣島裏，它離其他有人煙的地方最遠。這也就意味着，達庫尼亞羣島遠離喧囂爭端，沒有任何其他的自然屏障，只有絕對的遙遠距離。島上沒有機場，旅行者只有乘船前往羣島，通常都需要花費幾天時間。大部分旅行者都選擇搭漁船或科學考察船前往，這些船每年會有幾次拜訪羣島。島上沒有賓館，遊客們只能選擇自給自足的客艙，或者寄住在當地人家中。
