Boss: Don’t take the highway from Suao to Hualien. There are too many big trucks.

Morley: But isn’t that the only way to go?

Boss: You can go up into the mountains from here and then go down into Taroko Gorge.

Morley: That sounds like it involves an awful lot of uphill riding.

Boss: It does. You gotta get up to 2,600 meters high.

Morley:[Looks at Dan shaking head] I think we’ll take a bus.

Boss: That’s what I always do.

老板：你们可以从这里骑上山然后下山进入太鲁阁峡谷。

莫理：听起来要骑一大堆上坡路。

老板：没错。你们必须骑到两千六百公尺高。

莫理：(看到阿丹摇摇头)我想我们还是搭公交车好了。

老板：我也是都这么做。
