全世界只有這6個國家沒有機場!
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.
當你去另一個國家旅行時,你可能要做的第一件事就是預訂機票。然而,在少數幾個國家,你是沒法直接飛行抵達的。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.
梵蒂岡位於羅馬中部,面積只有109英畝。這個國家沒有機場,但是遊客可以通過意大利首都羅馬輕鬆抵達。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.
同樣,聖馬力諾也被包圍在意大利的領土之中。作為全球第五小的國家,它有3.3萬名居民,距離意大利裏米尼的費德里科·費里尼國際機場僅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 Cote 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.)
要前往世界上第二小的國家摩納哥--排名僅次於梵蒂岡--你得經由位於法國尼斯市的藍色海岸國際機場,而該機場距人口只有3.85萬的摩納哥只有25分鐘的車程。(或許這就是為什麼開發商懶得創建一個像美國境內只有16分鐘的最短航班。)Interestingly enough, the third and fourth smallest countries, Nauru and Tuvalu, respectively, have their own airports; the fifth and sixth smallest don't.
有意思的是,世界上第三和第四小的國家--瑙魯和圖瓦盧--都分別擁有自己的機場;而第五和第六小的國家卻沒有。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.
我們已經提到了聖馬力諾(第五小國),那麼如果你要去列支敦士登,你就必須經由距該國首都24英里遠、位於瑞士的聖加侖阿爾滕萊茵機場。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.
想要直接飛到安道爾,也是不行的,因為從該國邊境一端到達另一端僅需25英里的車程。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.
安道爾位於比利牛斯山脈山谷,這意味着建造機場跑道的難度很大,因此,遊客可以經由西班牙或法國到達安道爾。抵達安道爾首都的最短路徑是通過西班牙的赫羅納機場。Finally, there are no airports directly in the Palestinian Territories, but Ben Gurion International Airport in Israel is just 26 miles away from Bethlehem.
最後一個,巴勒斯坦,其領土上也沒有機場,但是以色列的本古裏安機場距伯利恆(巴勒斯坦西岸城市)只有26英里。
