For most of us, a train journey means a sleepy-eyed commute to work. For trainiacs, they're another notch in the little black book.
But for a lucky few, a rail journey is an expedition through cultures and across lands, providing an experience that's equaled by no other means of transport.
Here are 10 of the best.
对我们大多数来说，坐一次火车便是前往工作地途中的睡眼朦胧。对于火车迷来说那是生命中不可替代的记忆。
不过对于一小部分幸运者，一次火车出行则意味着一次跨越不同文化和地域的探险之旅，这是其他任何交通工具所不能媲美的。
以下就是10大最佳火车之旅：
1. Eastern and Oriental Express
Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore
Eastern and Oriental Express
泰国、马来西亚和新加坡
Champagne, music, velvet couch -- wouldn't you be laughing too?
香槟，音乐，天鹅绒沙发—你难道还不够幸运吗？
Sure, you could fly between Bangkok and Singapore in a couple of hours, but you’d miss this Agatha Christie-like journey with an Oriental twist through the heart of the Malay Peninsular.
的确，你用几小时就能乘飞机往来于曼谷和新加坡，不过这样你将失去一次如同阿加西.克里斯蒂侦探小说般的旅程，乘坐行驶在蜿蜒铁道上的火车，穿梭于马来半岛的核心地带。
Sister train to Europe’s Venice Simplon Orient Express, an open-air observation car allows heady aromas of the Orient to waft onboard. Accompanied by the tinkle of ivory, the Piano Bar is the social hub where tall Singapore Slings garnished with fresh fruit are de rigeur.
同欧洲的威尼斯-辛普伦-东方快车一样，全景式观光车厢充满了浓郁的东方气息。在社交中心钢琴吧里，于优美琴声的伴奏中来一大杯配上鲜果的新加坡司令更是必不可少。
Upper and lower berths and en suite bathrooms complete the picture in three cabin configurations: Pullman, State and Presidential cabins.
列车提供有普通卧铺、豪华套间和总统包间，这些都配有上下铺和浴室。
