决策
去中国旅行需要会说普通话吗？
你担心语言障碍,不知道出发前是否需要学几句中文。
推荐
不需要会说普通话——翻译软件能应对95%的场景。学会5–10句礼貌用语(你好、谢谢、数字)是为了拉近距离,不是为了生存。
The options
| Option | Best for | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| 不需要，会英语加 APP 就够了 | 大多数旅行者——翻译应用、滴滴、酒店英语和图文菜单足以应对日常需求。 | 酒店外的交流效率较低，在小商店和打车时容易遇到一些麻烦。 |
| 学几句常用语 | 计划前往非一线城市，或希望与当地人更深入交流的旅行者。 | 需要花 20–60 分钟学习；发音语调常出错，但当地人会欣赏这份努力。 |
