The cheapest option gets us into Naples after midnight, and I'm not comfortable improvising transport then.
最便宜的方案會讓我們半夜過後才到拿坡里,而我對那時臨時找交通不太安心。
- Line 2Tom 0:07
Is the main concern personal safety, or is it also the chance of being stranded with luggage?
你主要擔心的是人身安全,還是也包含拖著行李被困住的可能性?
- Line 3Emma 0:12
Both, because a cheap route stops being cheap once taxis, confusion, and fatigue start piling up.
兩個都是,因為一旦計程車費、混亂成本和疲勞累積起來,便宜路線就不便宜了。
- Line 4Tom 0:20
Then the comparison needs night-arrival risk in it rather than ticket price alone.
那比較時就得把夜間抵達風險算進去,而不是只看票價。
- Line 5Emma 0:24
Exactly, and my cousin's advice helps only a little because she has never arrived there that late.
沒錯,而且我表親的建議幫助有限,因為她從來沒那麼晚到過那裡。
- Line 6Tom 0:31
So the advice is relevant but not truly matched to your actual conditions.
所以那個建議有參考價值,但和你的實際條件並不完全匹配。
- Line 7Emma 0:35
We could pay more for an afternoon train, or keep the late arrival and book a hotel pickup.
我們可以多花點錢搭下午的火車,或是維持晚到、改訂飯店接送。
- Line 8Tom 0:42
A pickup could balance cost and safety, but only if the hotel confirms the service clearly in writing.
接送可以在成本和安全之間取得平衡,但前提是飯店要用書面清楚確認服務。
- Line 9Emma 0:48
Right, because I don't want to land and discover that the pickup was only an informal promise.
對,因為我不想落地後才發現接送只是口頭說說。
- Line 10Tom 0:54
Another angle is staying near the station for one night and moving across the city the next morning.
另一個角度是先在車站附近住一晚,隔天早上再移動到城市另一邊。
- Line 11Emma 1:00
That reduces the midnight transfer risk, although it adds another check-in and uses more time.
那能降低半夜轉移的風險,但會多一次入住,也會多花時間。
- Line 12Tom 1:07
True, but tired confusion after midnight can waste more time than a planned extra stop.
沒錯,但半夜疲憊又混亂造成的時間浪費,可能比計畫中的多停一站還大。
- Line 13Emma 1:12
If the pickup is reliable and reasonably priced, I'd be willing to accept the late arrival.
如果接送可靠而且價格合理,我願意接受晚一點抵達。
- Line 14Tom 1:18
And if the confirmation stays vague, pay more or split the route, because uncertainty is the real cost here.
如果確認內容一直很模糊,就多花錢或拆分路線,因為這裡真正的成本是不確定性。
- Line 15Emma 1:25
I agree, since I can compromise on comfort but not on basic security and predictability.
我同意,因為舒適度我可以妥協,但基本安全和可預期性不能讓步。
- Line 16Tom 1:32
Then choose the option that lets you arrive alert enough to start the trip well.
那就選能讓你抵達時仍夠清醒、能把旅程好好開始的選項。
