A Job With Travel but No Vacation
从朋å‹blog看到推è的一篇NY Timesçš„æ–‡ç« , A Job With Travel but No Vacation, 主è¦è®²è¿°çš„是旅游指å—的作者们一些工作上的艰辛, 主è¦çš„è¦ç‚¹æ˜¯è¿™ä»½å·¥ä½œä¸æ˜¯åœˆå¤–人想象的那么舒适风光.
其实æ¯ä¸€ä¸ªèŒä¸šéƒ½æœ‰æ¯ä¸€ä¸ªèŒä¸šçš„难处, 所以对我而言, è¯»åˆ°è¿™ç¯‡æ–‡ç« å¹¶ä¸å¥‡æ€ª, 而文ä¸æ到的难处, æ— éžæ˜¯deadline, 节å¥ç´§å¼ , 路上安全, 工资ä¸å¤š ç‰ç‰ç‰ç‰. å³ä½¿ä½ åšä¸€è¡Œä¸Žæ—…æ¸¸æ— å…³çš„, ä½ ä¹Ÿä¼šé‡åˆ°ç±»ä¼¼é—®é¢˜, åªä¸è¿‡æœ‰äº›äººæŠŠç¼–写旅游指å—的工作想的太ç†æƒ³äº†?”åªçœ‹è§è´¼åƒè‚‰, 没看到贼挨打的时候”, 也许说的就是这个?
“Many underestimate exactly how much work goes into making a guide book,” said Jay Cooke, an editor for Lonely Planet. “Some potential authors think it would be fun to travel and get paid for it. But they’re expected to write tens of thousands of words. It’s a big, big job, and it goes far beyond journal keeping on a beach somewhere.”
还有一点就是: ä¸è¦æŠŠä½ 的兴趣(hobby)当æˆä½ çš„èŒä¸š, å¦åˆ™ä½ 就很难有那份轻æ¾çš„感觉, 除éžä½ ä¸é ä½ çš„èŒä¸šå…»å®¶ç³Šå£.
å¦å¤–我买旅游指å—的时候, 还是很注é‡ä½œè€…的背景的. å¦å¤–çœ‹äº†æ–‡ç« ä¸è¯´çš„, 似乎Lonely Planet, Let’s Go对他们的travel guilde writerè¦æ±‚更严些, å¾…é‡ä¹Ÿå¥½äº›, 相比之下 Frommer’s 就差好多, 这也和我平时翻看旅游指å—书对内容质é‡çš„感觉类似, 的确大多时候Lonely Planetè¦æ›´èƒœä¸€ç¹.
