沙發(fā)漫游Couch Surfing

　　自助游是旅游愛好者們的最愛，但在高昂的費用、人生地不熟等問題面前，不少旅行者只能望“游”興嘆。不過最近，一種新型的網絡互助游——“沙發(fā)漫游”受到人們的關注。人們可以在網上尋找旅途中的免費住處，雖然“待遇”可能只是沙發(fā)床或打地鋪，但卻可以讓你更“廉價”地踏遍全球。

　　一起來看下面的解釋：

　　Couch surfing is travelling on a budget, using a broad network of contacts in order to get overnight accommodation for free, or at as little cost as possible. Participants, dubbed couch surfers, join dedicated websites, providing as much information about themselves as possible in order to make others feel comfortable hosting them, or using them as a host. Various safety features are generally available in such online networks, like verification of names and addresses, personal references, and 'vouching for' a particular member as a reliable host or guest.

　　“沙發(fā)漫游”是一種經濟的旅游方式，可以通過一個龐大的關系網免費或者用盡量低的費用在旅游目的地過夜。“沙發(fā)漫游者”一般會加入專門的網站，并盡可能多的提供他們的個人信息以使其他會員愿意為他們提供住宿或跟他們換房旅游。這類網站一般都會有安全認證程序，比如核實姓名和地址、個人推薦、以及“擔保”某位會員為可靠房主或房客等。

　　讓我們看一個例句：

　　It might sound crazy to travel halfway across the world to sleep on a stranger's sofa, but this is exactly what millions of people have done whilst participating in couch surfing.

　　到地球的另一邊在陌生人家的沙發(fā)上過夜嗎聽起來可能有點瘋狂，不過這恰恰是數百萬參與“沙發(fā)漫游”的人做過的事情。
