5. Meet New People
結識新朋友
You will have the chance to meet new people when you travel; some interesting, some boring, and some downright crazy. Everyone has a story to tell, chances are that it will be worth listening to.
旅行中一定有機會結識新朋友;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。
6. Nature
大自然
Instead of looking out your office window to see a hundred skyscrapers staring back at you, you will get the chance to see the world in all its natural beauty. See the deserts of Africa or the jungles of the Amazon with your own eyes instead of 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
學會見機行事
You might already be book smart but add street smart to your persona then there’s no stopping you; it’s a killer combination. Travelling teaches you many of life’s lessons and you will gain pearls of wisdom along your journey; from being able to barter, to knowing when you are trying to be conned, there are many things new places can teach you.
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驗教訓,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 this Earth, and no one knows when it will come to an end (sorry, to be such a downer). Do you really want to stay in the same town or city your whole life, without meeting new people, tasting new foods and 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,而不是像別人那樣去結識新朋友、品嘗新食物,去領悟和體驗生活嗎?
9. Coming Home
回家真好
After travelling round the world, there is nothing quite like the feeling of walking through your front door, dropping your bags on the floor, and going upstairs to sleep in your warm, comfortable bed for a day or two. As much fun as travelling can be, everyone needs a place they can call home.
環游世界后,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。
