高铁还是飞机?
I just came back from one of my trips to different cities of mainland China. And I can tell you the following: I have been using as much as I can the fast speed train, especially when the distance is less than 1000 kilometers.
我刚从中国内地出差回来。可以这么说:我在尽可能地多地使用高铁出行,尤其是距离在1000公里之内的时候。
It so much more reliable than flying!
它比飞机可靠多了!
Of the last 10 trips I have taken using the fast speed train, every single one has been on perfect time and even at times it has left one minute or two before the schedule time, but NEVER a minute late.
我过去10次乘搭高铁出差,每一次都准点出发,有时甚至还早走几分钟,但是却从来没有晚点。
What a difference when we have had to take the plane; of the last 10 times we had to fly 9 times the flight has been delayed and to make it even worse many of those times the delay has been of 2 up to 4 hours!!! The average delay is about 2 and a half hour. The only single time the plane left more or less on time it still was like 15 minutes late.
当我们要选择飞机出行的时候,差别就大了,10次有9次晚点,更糟糕的是,有时候甚至要晚2到4小时!!!平均晚点时间达到2个半小时。唯一一次飞机算是准点还是晚了15分钟。
You just can’t rely at all and trust the times when you fly and what you end up doing is flying the day before if you want not to miss your next day schedule meeting. And then leave late to arrive after hours or extremely late back home.
因此你飞机出行的话基本上不要指望准点。如果不想错过第二天的会议的话,你只好提前一天出发。然后回程继续晚点,很晚才能回到家。
You basically lose a whole day or even more when you fly but when you take the fast speed train you can go arrive on time, have your meeting, and get back home early.
如果用飞机出行,意味着你失去了一天甚至更多的时间。而高铁出行来去都准点,会议准点,早早回家。
As an example I am going to use a trip to Changsha where we have a store. We always schedule our meeting at 11:30 am or arrive at lunch time, eat and then start the meeting at 2:30 pm. Have your 2 hour meeting and get back home at 6:00 pm.
举我到长沙出差的例子,我们一般安排在11:30或者午饭时刻到达,午餐之后2:30开会,两个小时会议之后,6点钟回程。
If we do it by train we take the 8:00 am train to arrive there at 10:30 am. We take a car to the meeting or restaurant, and then we take the train back to Guangzhou at 6:00 pm to be back home 8:30 pm.
搭乘8点的高铁,10点半到达,驱车前往会议地点或者饭店,下午6点回程,晚上8点半就到家了。
If we take the 8:00 am plane, it usually ends up leaving at 10:30 or 11:00 am you get there almost after lunch. You have your meeting and get back on the 6:00 pm flight and be back home at about 10:30 pm.
但如果我们搭乘早上8点的飞机,一般都要等到10点半或11点才起飞,基本上午饭后才能到达,匆忙开完会赶下午6点飞机,回到家起码10点半之后。
All because of the delays, security check ups, long lines, the time that it takes to get your luggage, the time that you have to be at the airport before your departure, etc.
除了晚点,提前一个小时赶到机场、安检、排队以及提取行李,所有这些都造成时间的浪费。
When you take the train you can dropped at the station 10 minutes before departure and no problem! You can take the luggage with you, so no delays, no checkups, etc.
高铁的话,你提前10分钟到达高铁站也没有问题!你可以随身携带行李,没有繁琐的检查。
And to make it even better the train is cheaper, nicer, bigger space and seats, etc.
高铁更有优势的地方还有:更便宜、舒适、座位空间更大。
You can take first class seat that is better than the first class of the plane and pay 500 RMB but when you fly it make cost you 2500 RMB.
你可以花五百元搭乘比飞机头等舱更好的高铁一等座,而飞机头等舱的话,要花上2500元。
So for me I will keep taking the fast speed train as much as I can. I am a fan and number one supporter. What a great service and a great option for the business or tourist traveler.
所以对我来说将会继续搭乘高铁,我是高铁的粉丝和头号支持者,对于商务和旅游来说,这是多么棒的选择和服务啊。
