涨姿势!世界上6个没有机场的国家
When you’re traveling to another country, the first thing you probably do is book your flight. In just a handful of countries, though, you won’t be able to fly directly.
当你去另一个国家旅行时,你可能要做的第一件事就是预订机票。然而,在少数几个国家,你没法直接飞行抵达。
As a 109-acre area nestled in the middle of Rome, Vatican City doesn’t have its own airport, but visitors can easily get there via Italy’s capital.
梵蒂冈位于罗马中部,占地只有109英亩。这个国家没有机场,但是游客可以通过意大利首都罗马轻松抵达。
Similarly, San Marino is also surrounded by Italian land. The fifth smallest country in the world has a little more than 33,000 residents and sits just nine miles from Federico Fellini International Airport in Rimini, Italy.
同样,圣马力诺也被包围在意大利的领土之中,作为全球第五小的国家,它有3.3万名居民,距离意大利里米尼的费德里科.费里尼国际机场仅9英里。
To visit Monaco—the second-smallest country in the world, right behind the Vatican—you’ll have to go through France’s Nice C?te d’Azur International Airport, which is just a 25-minute car ride away from Monaco, which has a population of just 38,500. (Maybe that’s why developers didn’t bother creating anything like the 16-minute shortest flight in America.)
要访问世界上第二小的国家摩纳哥——排名仅次于梵蒂冈——你得经由位于法国尼斯市的蓝色海岸国际机场,而该机场距摩洛哥只有25分钟的车程。摩纳哥人口只有3.85万。(或许这就是为什么开发商懒得创建一个像美国境内只有16分钟的最短航班。)
Interestingly enough, the third and fourth smallest countries, Nauru and Tuvalu, respectively, have their own airports; the fifth and sixth smallest don’t. We already mentioned San Marino, and to get to Liechtenstein, you’ll have to go through Switzerland’s St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport, 24 miles away from the capital.
有意思的是,世界上第三和第四小的国家——瑙鲁和图瓦卢——都分别拥有自己的机场;而第五和第六小的国家却没有。我们已经提到了圣马力诺(第五小国),那么如果你要去列支敦士登,你就必须经由距该国首都24英里远、位于瑞士的圣加仑阿尔滕莱茵机场。
No such luck trying to fly into Andorra—which only requires a 25-mile drive to get from one end of the country to the other—either. Sitting in a Pyrenees mountain range valley means building an airport runway would be difficult, so visitors can arrive through Spain or France. The closest option to Andorra’s capital is Girona-Costa Brava Airport in Spain.
想要直接飞到安道尔,也是不行的,因为从该国边境一端到达另一端仅需25英里的车程。安道尔位于比利牛斯山脉山谷,这意味着建造机场跑道的难度很大。因此,游客可以经由西班牙或法国到达安道尔。抵达安道尔首都的最短路径是通过西班牙的赫罗纳机场。
Finally, there are no airports directly in the Palestinian Territories, but Ben Gurion International Airport in Israel is just 26 miles away from Bethlehem.
最后,巴勒斯坦领土上也没有机场,但是,以色列的本古里安机场距伯利恒(巴勒斯坦西岸城市)只有26英里。
