“Twenty years from now you will be moredisappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you diddo. So throw off the
bowlines,sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in yoursails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain
馬克·吐溫:從現(xiàn)在開始的二十多年中,比起那些已經(jīng)做過的,你會越來越后悔那些你沒有做過的事情。請解開系緊的船纜,駛離安全的港灣,揚帆遠航吧。去探索,去夢想,去發(fā)現(xiàn)!
1. You will grow as aperson 你將成長為一個獨立的人
When you travel the world, you have theopportunity to experience different cultures and meet new people.It is inevitable that through these experiences you will learn alot about yourself. Who you are as a person and what you want outof life might very well change.
當(dāng)你周游世界時,你就有機會體驗不同的文化并結(jié)識新朋友。通過這些經(jīng)歷,你自然而然就會更加深刻地了解自己。你就會更清楚自己是個什么樣的人,你對生活的期望也很可能會改變。
自由
You will enjoy a much greater sense offreedom when no one is able to tell you what to do. You are theboss. You decide where you want to go, what you want to do and howlong you want tostay.當(dāng)沒有人能告訴你該怎么做,你將更多地感受自由。你就是老板。你決定要去的地方,決定要做什么,決定要待多久。
返璞歸真
You will discover how much better life can bewhen you live it simply. No phone, email, TV, job, schedule, billsto pay; just you, your surroundings and your mind.Perfection.
你會發(fā)現(xiàn)簡樸生活才是更好的生活。沒有電話、電子郵件、電視,沒有工作、形成、賬單;只有你自己,你周圍的環(huán)境和你的心靈。多么完美。
豐盛美食
You will have the chance to taste food fromall corners of the globe. Do you like eating Chinese, Thai orIndian food? You will enjoy the food even more when you eat it fromthe place it originated.
你將有機會品嘗到世界上每個角落的食物。你喜歡吃中國菜,泰國菜還是印度菜?當(dāng)你在這些美食的家鄉(xiāng)就餐時,那肯定是另一番享受。
結(jié)識新朋友
You will have the chance to meet new peoplewhen you travel; some interesting, some boring, and some
downright crazy. Everyone has a story to tell, chancesare that it will be worth listening to.
旅行中一定有機會結(jié)識新朋友;有些有趣,有些很悶,有些簡直不可理喻。每個人都有自己的故事,很可能有些故事還真值得一聽。
大自然
Instead of looking out your office window tosee a hundred skyscrapers staring back at you, you will get thechance to see the world in all its natural beauty. See the desertsof Africa or the jungles of the Amazon with your own eyes insteadof looking at a still image in a book.
你將有機會看到世界是多么自然美麗,而不只是透過辦公室窗口看到與你面面相覷的上百座摩天大樓。親眼看一看非洲的沙漠或亞馬遜叢林,那不是書本上的呆板圖片比得上的。
7. Become Street Smart
學(xué)會見機行事
You might already be book smart but addstreet smart to your
persona then there’sno stopping you; it’s a killer combination. Travelling teaches youmany of life’s lessons and you will gain pearls of wisdom alongyour journey; from being able to
barter, to knowing when youare trying to be conned, there are many things new places can teachyou.
你可能很會讀書,但要是再能有一些生存智慧,那就是完美的組合,你將無往不勝。旅行會教給你生活中的許多經(jīng)驗教訓(xùn),你一邊旅行一邊采集智慧之珠;從討價還價到不受人蒙騙,每到一個新地方,你必然會有新斬獲。
8. You only live once
人生只有一次
We all get a limited amount of time on thisEarth, and no one knows when it will come to an end (sorry, to besuch a
downer). Do you really want to stay in the same town orcity your whole life, without meeting new people, tasting new foodsand seeing and experiencing life as others do?
我們在這個地球上都只待有限的時間,沒有人知道什么時候會結(jié)束(對不起,這樣說太唐突)。你真的想一生都待在同一城市或城鎮(zhèn),而不是像別人那樣去結(jié)識新朋友、品嘗新食物,去領(lǐng)悟和體驗生活嗎?
9. Coming Home
回家真好
After travelling round the world, there isnothing quite like the feeling of walking through your front door,dropping your bags on the floor, and going upstairs to sleep inyour warm, comfortable bed for a day or two. As much fun astravelling can be, everyone needs a place they can call home.
環(huán)游世界后,還有什么比回家更爽的事情:徑直走過前門,將行李往地板上一扔,上樓一頭扎進你那溫暖舒適的床上睡它一兩天。盡管旅游充滿樂趣,但每個人都需要一個他們稱之為家的地方。
