免费环球旅行:5招让你走遍世界

2013-09-10来源:CNN
Teach the kids
做家教

It's not just the adults that need entertaining on board -- there's also their children.
在船上,不仅大人需要娱乐——他们的孩子也同样需要。

Families traveling the high seas may need a teacher or nanny to care for youngsters on long voyages.
在公海上进行漫长的家庭旅行时,请教师或保姆来照顾他们的孩子或许很有必要。

"We had one family who were circumnavigating Australia and needed a teacher to home-school their children," said Gretener, adding "As much as you're sailing the world for free you're still contributing in some way, whether it be your time or expertise."
“我们曾有一个环游澳大利亚的家庭,需要一名教师为他们的孩子作家教,”格林特纳说,然后又补充道:“游览世界虽然没有破费你的金钱,但你需要以某种方式付出作为等价交换,时间或者专业知识。”

Jump on a research ship
随行考察船

From submarines to superyachts, vessels looking for volunteers come in all shapes and sizes -- including research ships.
寻找义工的船只各式各样、大小不一,有潜水艇、超级游艇、普通船只——包括考察船。

Many environmental groups, such as Greenpeace or the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust, have research vessels that spend months at sea gathering marine samples and conducting experiments.
“绿色和平”、“ 赫布里底鲸鱼”和“海豚基金”等许多环保组织拥有自己的考察船,常在海上徘徊数月,采样实验。

Volunteers range from deck hands to administration staff and scientists working in onboard laboratories.
船上需要的义工不仅有船员、管理人员,还有在船上实验室里工作的科学家。

Cook up a storm
做一手好菜

Often preparing meals before any of the crew has even woken up, cooking is one of the most demanding jobs aboard a yacht.
烹饪是游艇上要求最高的岗位之一,厨师常常在船员醒来之前,就要把饭菜准备好。

While bigger vessels such as research ships or superyachts usually require a trained chef, smaller boats tend to take on versatile crew members able to lend a hand on deck as well as in the galley.
考察船或豪华游艇等较大型的船只通常需要受过训练的厨师,而小型船只倾向于雇用万能型船员,既能做杂活,也能烹饪。

With limited access to supermarkets, on board cooks must also be creative with the local produce -- even if that sometimes means fishing for dinner.
由于不方便去超市,船上的厨师还必须有就地取材的本领——有时这意味着靠捕鱼维生。

It seems you don't need to be a wealthy yacht owner to sail into the sunset. If you're willing to roll up your sleeves, the world could be your oyster.
这样看来,即便不是富有的游艇主人,同样可以在落日的余辉中徜徉大海。只要你愿意捋起袖管,世界就在你脚下。
