Geotourism provides an alternative to traditional mass tourism, the effects of which can be harmful to the local people as well as to the environment. Much of the infrastructure that supports mass tourism--large tourist hotels, restaurants, malls, tour companies--may be owned and operated by companies based on outside the tourist areas. Chain restaurants and stores may not always serve local food or sell local products. Large package tour companies may not always hire local experts and guides, who know the area’s history, environment, and culture. As a result, much of the money made from this type of tourism does not stay in the local community. Moreover, tourists whose only travel experience comes via big hotels, chain restaurants, or package tours typically have little contact with the local people, thus limiting their understanding of the nature and culture of the places they visit. In contrast, geotourism is like a partnership between travelers and locals. Geotravelers stay in locally owned hotels, managed by residents who care about protecting the area and environment. They buy from local merchants and craftspeople, hire local travel guides, and go to see traditional music, dance, and theater to broaden the scope of their understanding of the area’s history and culture. Geotravelers learn a lot from their close contact with local people while the money they spend stays in the community, helps local people earn a living, and helps preserve and sustain the area for future travelers. In this way, geotourism benefits both partners--travelers and residents.

請重新閱讀該句子：如果我們把「大型飯店、連鎖餐廳」看作是遊客接觸當地文化的「橋樑」或「通道」，哪一個概念最能描述這種「經過某個媒介而達成」的動態關係呢？

哼，還算有點腦子。
- 觀念驗證：恭喜你，沒選錯。via 在這篇文裡當然是遊客「取得體驗」的「管道」。當我們想表達「透過什麼途徑」或「經由哪種方式」達成某事時，through 不就是最基本、最理所當然的同義詞嗎？連接動作執行者和其所使用的媒介，這不是常識嗎？
- 難度點評：這題難度？easy。別以為你答對了就多厲害，這不過是在考驗你對基礎介系詞在上下文中的應用能力。雖然 via 是常見字彙，但能從語境中看出它的「媒介性」，代表你對英文長句結構的掌握——嗯，還算穩健，至少沒徹底迷失方向。別得意忘形，這只是基礎中的基礎。
