8　　Quito, Ecuador 厄瓜多爾的基多

　　Quito wraps itself around the base of Pichincha, a snow-capped volcano that provides one of the most unique backdrops of any city on earth. The historic downtown was among the first to be designated a UNICEF World Heritage Site. While you’re there, take the short flight to the Galapagos to check out one of the best-preserved biospheres on the planet.

　　基多環繞著皮欽查火山的山腳——一座積雪的火山，世界上最奇特的風景之一。基多那史上著名的市區被列為首批聯合國兒童基金會世界遺產。如果你去那里，可要乘短途飛機到加拉帕戈斯群島，去看看世界上保留最好的生態保護區。

　　7　　Lisbon, Portugal 葡萄牙的里斯本

　　Even after it adopted the euro as its national currency, Portugal remains a fairly economical destination. It boasts a rich, multicultural history, great music and no shortage of spectacular vistas, awash in brilliant Mediterranean colors. And if that’s not enough, stick around for the food.

　　即使已經把歐元作為其本國貨幣，葡萄牙仍然是相當經濟的一個旅游目的地。它以悠久且多文化交融的歷史、美妙的音樂、豐富的壯觀景色以及到處可見的地中海風情而聞名。如果這還不夠，何不四處轉轉尋覓美食？

　　6　　Granada, Nicaragua 尼加拉瓜的格拉納達

　　One of the oldest colonial towns in Central America, Granada is accessible by road from Managua. Not as well-kept a secret as in years past, Granada is becoming a more popular destination for tourists due to its history and relative safety. But if you go in the off-season, you should get it mostly to yourself. Don’t miss out on the local coffee.

　　格拉納達是中美洲最古老的殖民城鎮之一，從馬那瓜走公路即可到達。幾年前，它還像是個保守得很好的秘密，但是現在，格拉納達因其歷史和相對而言的安全原因，正成為趨于熱門的旅游目的地。但是如果你選擇在淡季去，你得靠自己去了解它。可別忘了嘗嘗當地的咖啡啊！

　　5　　Stellenbosch, South Africa 南非的于斯坦倫布什

　　South Africa is best known for its incredible wildlife reserves, and they are undoubtedly amazing. But many don’t realize that South Africa produces some of the best wine in the world. Take the road from Cape Town to explore the lush, green wine country, and don’t forget to grab a few bottles along the way.

　　南非以其所保留的不可思議的野生動植物最為出名，毫無疑問，它們是令人驚異的。但很多人還不知道，南非也出產一些世界上最好的葡萄酒。從開普敦出發前往富饒而綠意盎然的葡萄酒鄉一探究竟，別忘了順路帶回幾瓶！

　　4　　Tangier, Morocco 摩洛哥的丹吉爾

　　Long the haven for drunken ex-pat writers and other scoundrels, Tangier has undergone a period of urban renewal that is helping to shake off its reputation as “the Tijuana of the Mediterranean.” You’d be hard-pressed to find water as blue as that which laps at its shores. Many visitors will be find its vibrance overwhelming, but the best way to see Tangier is to simply allow yourself to be swept away in it.

　　丹吉爾長期以來一直是爛醉的外籍寫手和其他無賴的天堂。為了幫助擺脫“地中海的提華納”的名聲，丹吉爾經歷了一段時期的城市重建。你很難再找到什么地方的水，能藍得像這里拍打著的堤岸海水。許多旅行者會抱怨海浪的沖擊力過于強烈，而了解丹吉爾的最佳方式恰恰是置身其中，任其漂流。

　　3　　Montevideo, Uruguay 烏拉圭的蒙得維的亞

　　Generally overlooked because of its proximity to its bustling neighbor (Buenos Aires), Montevideo has much to offer with its interesting fusion of colonial and deco architecture. And as a smaller city, it’s generally more relaxed. While you’re there, go to a “parilla” and sample some of the best steak you’ll ever eat.

　　蒙得維的亞通常被人們忽視，那是因為它過于靠近其繁華的近鄰——布宜諾斯艾利斯，而它因殖民建筑和裝飾派建筑的奇妙融合，亦有許多可看之處。而且因為它是一座小城，常常也更令人感到輕松。你到了那里，就去一家叫“parilla”的餐廳，你會品嘗到你吃過的最美味的牛排。

　　2　　Hanoi, Vietnam 越南的河內

　　Assuming you can get used to the traffic (not as easy as it sounds), Hanoi never fails to leave an impression on its guests. Hardly the place that it was thirty years ago, Hanoi is an exciting, bustling city filled with the aroma of exotic spices. Don’t forget to see nearby Ha Long Bay, which may just be the single most beautiful place on earth.

　　假如你能適應那里的交通（并不像聽起來那么容易），河內從不會讓游客失望。與三十年前截然不同，河內已是一座激情四射、熙熙攘攘的城市，到處充滿異域風情的氣息。記得去領略附近的下龍灣，這也許是世界上最美麗無比的地方。

　　1　　Dakar, Senegal 塞內加爾的達喀爾

　　The stifling, chaotic maze of Dakar might be too much for some, but those who brave the humidity and mosquitoes will walk away with a truly unforgettable experience. Don’t resist; let yourself be carried along by the sights and sounds. When you leave, Africa will no longer be an abstract notion or fleeting images on your TV. This is Africa at its most visceral, and I promise it will change you for the better.

　　達喀爾的沉悶和混亂也許對有些人來說有點難以忍受，但對那些耐得了潮濕和蚊子的人而言，可是一段難忘的經歷。不要有抵觸情緒，只是讓自己跟著所見所聞走。當你離開的時候，非洲就不再是一個抽象的概念，或是電視中飛逝而過的鏡頭。這是最真實的非洲，我保證它會讓你變得更好。
