 計畫一次集集支線之旅 Planning a trip on the Jiji Branch Line |
Steve: What are you up to this weekend?
Ella: I'm going to take a trip on the Jiji Branch Line.
Steve: Oh... are you a railway enthusiast, then?
Ella: No, not at all. It's just that this is a really beautiful railway line. It's not on Taiwan's main railway route. It's just a line that goes inland into Nantou County.
Steve: OK, I've heard that that's a beautiful area.
Ella: That's right. Hundreds of tourists travel on the Jiji line every weekend.
Steve: So I'm guessing you'll finish your day in Jiji, right?
Ella: Actually no. I went there a few months ago, so I thought I'd go to Checheng this weekend. That's the town right at the end of the line.
Steve: What is there to see there?
Ella:: I don't know too much about the town, but I've heard that there's a museum of local history and some old-fashioned wooden buildings there. It could be fun to look around.
史蒂夫： 你這個週末有什麼打算？
艾拉： 我要來一趟集集支線鐵道之旅。
史蒂夫： 哦...那你是鐵道迷囉？
艾拉：不是，完全不是耶，只不過這條鐵路線真的很美。集集支線不在台灣的主要鐵路幹線上，而是一條深入南投縣內陸的支線。
史蒂夫：對，我聽說那個地方很漂亮。
艾拉： 沒錯，所以每個週末都有數百名觀光客到這裡搭集集小火車。
史蒂夫：那我猜你一整天大概都在集集了，是嗎？
艾拉：其實也不是。我幾個月前去過，所以這個週末大概會去車埕，那個小鎮是集集支線的終點站。
史蒂夫：那裡有什麼好看的？
艾拉： 我對那個小鎮知道的不多，不過我聽說鎮上有當地歷史的博物館和一些老式的木造建築。四處走走看看應該會挺有趣的。
