Traveling in the world today has become both easier and more sophisticated. The number of destinations and cultures open to travelers has never been greater and the nature of current technology allows us to share our experiences as they happen.
現(xiàn)如今，去世界各地旅行已變得更為便捷但也更復(fù)雜。眾多目的地及各種不同的文化，以前所未有的開放姿態(tài)向旅行者敞開大門，而高端的科技更是確保了人們能隨時(shí)隨地分享各自經(jīng)歷。
Below are a few tips to help you have a safe and successful travel experience. If you would like to share your experiences or your own travel tips, we would love to hear from you.
以下幾點(diǎn)建議有助于您享受安全圓滿的旅行。也歡迎你分享自己的旅行經(jīng)歷或建議。
1. To Tip or Not to Tip
1. 給不給小費(fèi)
Tipping etiquette varies from country to country and knowing the local norms can save you from an embarrassing situation or from getting ripped off. For example, in many Central American countries the service tip is included in your bill and you are not required to provide anything over and above that amount. Yet, it is not uncommon for taxi drivers to ask for a gratuity or for restaurants to give you a credit card receipt with a tip line in the hopes that you’ll fall into your normal habits.
小費(fèi)習(xí)俗因邦而異，了解當(dāng)?shù)亓?xí)俗可避免遭遇尷尬或被敲竹杠。比如，許多中美洲國家的服務(wù)小費(fèi)已經(jīng)包含在賬單中，所以除支付賬單外，你不必再額外付費(fèi)。當(dāng)然見怪不怪的是，出租車司機(jī)也可能向你索要小費(fèi)，另外有些酒店在開具信用卡收據(jù)時(shí)，也希望你能按習(xí)俗支付小費(fèi)。
2. Connect with Caution
2. 聯(lián)網(wǎng)須謹(jǐn)慎
Being connected to the internet is something that most people cannot imagine being without, and WIFI is becoming ever-more ubiquitous and freely accessible. However just because you don’t have to pay for it does not mean that connecting comes without a price.
很多人無法想象沒有網(wǎng)絡(luò)該怎么活。好在WIFI已越來越免費(fèi)普及。不過，網(wǎng)絡(luò)免費(fèi)并不意味著聯(lián)網(wǎng)就沒有代價(jià)哦。
Before connecting to any WIFI network while traveling make sure that your device has the proper settings and safeguards in place to prevent others from accessing your device and snooping around. Also, avoid logging into bank accounts or using credit cards while on unsecured networks to help prevent identity theft.
旅行在外，連接任何WIFI網(wǎng)絡(luò)之前，請確定你的設(shè)備配置恰當(dāng)并裝有安全防護(hù)軟件，以防他人侵?jǐn)_窺覷。此外，網(wǎng)絡(luò)不安全時(shí)，切莫登錄銀行賬戶或使用信用卡，以免身份遭人竊取。
3. Being TOO Social
3. 太過高調(diào)
Bragging about upcoming trips and posting photos and status updates while you are on vacation is so common now that it can be considered an expected part of the experience. Keep in mind however that you are advertising that you’ve left behind an empty house.
度假前炫耀即將到來的旅行，度假時(shí)曬曬照片或更新狀態(tài)，這些不僅司空見慣，甚至已成為旅行不可或缺的部分了。可也千萬別忘了，這么做等于在廣而告之：你家里正無人把門呢。
It's reported that Burglars have already begun to turn to Facebook and Twitter to find homes that may be vacant during a holiday absence, so don’t make their job any easier for them by giving them your travel itinerary.”
據(jù)相關(guān)報(bào)道，竊賊已轉(zhuǎn)向Facebook 和Twitter 搜尋因度假而無人看守的房屋了。所以，最好別事無巨細(xì)描述自己的旅程，別讓竊賊輕易得逞才是。
4. Doing the Last Minute Shuffle
4. 臨時(shí)佛腳
You may have planned out your trip down to the last detail, but don’t forget about the few days before you embark on your adventure. There are usually a lot of items that need to be handled before you step foot into that plane: pet-sitters, stopping your mail, notifying your bank and credit card companies of where you’ll be travelling, buying last minute items of course, packing.
或許你已將旅程安排得事無巨細(xì)，但在出行之前最好也別忘了不在家時(shí)的各項(xiàng)安排。登上飛機(jī)之前通常還有不少事情需要處理：寵物托管、信箱暫停，通知銀行及信用卡公司你的旅行目的地，當(dāng)然還得購買最后所需物品并進(jìn)行打包。
We suggest that you add a few pre-travel days to your planning to make sure you are not over stressed or realize once you are 5,000 miles away that you have forgotten something critical.
建議你旅行前空出幾天做計(jì)劃，以免旅行過于緊張，或等到早已離家十萬八千里才想起忘記帶某個(gè)重要物件了。
5. Forgetting to Relax
5. 忘記放松
Remember that you are traveling to enjoy yourself, so make sure to plan in some time to do nothing. Being overambitious and trying to pack too much into every day will only result in stress, and if you spend every second running from attraction to attraction, you are very likely to miss the most interesting aspect of your destination, the culture.
請記住：旅行是為了享受，所以做好無所事事的準(zhǔn)備吧。若是野心勃勃地將日常瑣物一并打包，結(jié)果怕只會(huì)搞得自己緊張兮兮；若是忙不迭地從某個(gè)景點(diǎn)奔向下一個(gè)景點(diǎn)，你可能得錯(cuò)過欣賞最有意思的部分：你的旅行目的地，和那里的文化。
You can see the Eiffel Tower in a million photographs on the internet, but you can only experience the culture and ambiance of Paris in Paris. Grab a coffee at a sidewalk café, take a moment and watch the locals, smell the croissant in front of you and listen to the urban symphony around you.
或許你已在網(wǎng)絡(luò)圖片上千萬次看到埃菲爾鐵塔，但巴黎的韻味和文化，卻只能在巴黎親身體驗(yàn)才行。所以，何不在路邊咖啡館品嘗咖啡，靜下來細(xì)細(xì)體味地方人情，抑或伴著羊角面包的芳香傾聽周遭的都市交響曲呢！
