My heart is born to travel. 我的心就是注定要旅行。
I actually didn’t know there was a basement, at first. Yann took me downstairs to a huge and dimly lit laundry room and where the family hung their clothes to dry. It was very strange for me, since in Spain and in Asia, we hang most of our laundry to dry in the sun outside. Being in this laundry room made me realize how dirty my clothes were -- I only had three sets of clothes and I hadn’t washed them in a week! Unfortunately, my awkwardness got the better of me, and I decided against asking to use his washing machine. I would go on wearing these old clothes. When we walked out of the laundry room, Yann led me to another door and told me to close my eyes.
事實上,原先我不知道那里有一個地下室。Yann帶我到地下室到一個好大的暗暗的洗衣室,那里是他的家人晾他們衣服的地方。在西班牙還有在亞洲,我們大多把我們的衣服晾在太陽下,所以個感覺有點奇怪,但是在那個洗衣間里,我又想到因為旅行只有帶三套衣服出來,一周在路上沒洗衣服,我現在衣服很臟,但是我覺得實在有點別扭,所以我并沒有問他要使用他的洗衣機。我就繼續穿我的髒衣服吧。當我們走出洗衣室之后,Yann 告訴我要閉上自己的眼睛。
When I opened my eyes again I saw a church. The house was actually connected to the church where Yann and his wife had been preaching. He told me he moved here twenty years ago and the church gave him this house so he and his family could have a place to live. He told me that, because his son has grown up and moved away, he has a spare room to offer to guests. He has hosted guests like me from around the world in that room. In fact, he has made a point of only hosting guests from countries he didn’t know too much about.
當我又打開自己的眼睛我看到了一個教堂,原來房子是和他和他老婆傳道的教堂是連在一起的。他告訴我他20年前搬來這里,教堂送他們這個房子給他和他的家人住,但是他的兒子已經長大離開家,家里有一個空房可以給客人用。他就開始招待世界各地的人,事實上,他也強調他只提供給那些他不太認識的國家的人來住宿。
I was deeply touched by his story and I think he was an amazing man.
他的故事讓我很感動,而且我覺得他是一個很棒的人。
