時間之父在威尼斯這個水都中彷彿被縱橫城市的 150 條大小運河弄得威力大減，令時間變得不太被重視。
在威尼斯，無論你心裡有多著急，手腳卻無能為力，因為，這裡的唯一交通功具是船。面對那近在咫尺的對岸，感覺就像在紅燈下等過那 5 步能過的馬路，可惜游過去並不在選擇之列；其他選擇有等待那跟時間表走的水巴士、那貴得驚人的水的士，或繞 15 分鐘路到過島橋；久而久之，威尼斯人均被訓練得從容不迫。
威尼斯人對各樣交通功具的稱呼跟我們的沒兩樣：巴士、的士、救護車、消防車 (意大利語)⋯ 名字上的 “水” 字 （英語)，主要是讓遊客容易理解而已。讓我在這裡介紹一下威尼斯的各樣交通功具。
In Venice, the City of Water, the influence of Father Time seems to be diminished by the 150 canals, which results in the importance of Time becomes feeble.
In Venice, no matter how hurry you are in, you don't have much choices because the only transport is boat. Facing the opposite bank with reach, the feeling is just like waiting for the red traffic light in front of the road which could be crossed in 5 steps; Unfortunately swimming is not an option, so the remaining options are waiting for the water bus which operates according to the scheduled timetable, taking the extremely expensive water taxi or walking for 15 minutes to reach the bridge. In the course of time, Venetians are trained to be relaxed.
The transports in Venice have the same names like ours: bus, taxi, ambulance, fire truck (in Italian). The word "water" is more designed for tourists for easier understanding (in English). Let me show you some of the transports in Venice.
在威尼斯，船速不是以節 (海里/小時), 卻像汽車般以公里/小時計算。
In Venice, boat speed does not measure in Knot (Mile/hr) but in
Km/hr like vehicle.
