5. Meet New People
结识新朋友
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.
旅行中一定有机会结识新朋友;有些有趣,有些很闷,有些简直不可理喻。每个人都有自己的故事,很可能有些故事还真值得一听。
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.
你将有机会看到世界是多么自然美丽,而不只是透过办公室窗口看到与你面面相觑的上百座摩天大楼。亲眼看一看非洲的沙漠或亚马逊丛林,那不是书本上的呆板图片比得上的。
7. Become Street Smart
学会见机行事
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.
你可能很会读书,但要是再能有一些生存智慧,那就是完美的组合,你将无往不胜。旅行会教给你生活中的许多经验教训,你一边旅行一边采集智慧之珠;从讨价还价到不受人蒙骗,每到一个新地方,你必然会有新斩获。
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?
我们在这个地球上都只待有限的时间,没有人知道什么时候会结束(对不起,这样说太唐突)。你真的想一生都待在同一城市或城镇,而不是像别人那样去结识新朋友、品尝新食物,去领悟和体验生活吗?
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.
环游世界后,还有什么比回家更爽的事情:径直走过前门,将行李往地板上一扔,上楼一头扎进你那温暖舒适的床上睡它一两天。尽管旅游充满乐趣,但每个人都需要一个他们称之为家的地方。
