英語(yǔ)旅行美文欣賞（1）
The other night I had a conversation with a young woman who had a number of decisions ahead of her, one of which was whether she should go to grad school or travel the world.
不久前的一個(gè)晚上，我和一個(gè)年輕女孩聊天，她有很多事情拿不定主意，其中一個(gè)是她不知道是去研究所工作還是環(huán)游世界。
I told her to travel. Hands down. No excuse. Just go.
我告訴她應(yīng)該去旅行。放下手頭的一切。沒有任何理由，去旅游吧。
She sighed. “Yeah, but…”
她嘆了口氣?！笆堑?，但是……”
Never were more fatal words spoken.
但接下來(lái)，她并沒有再說(shuō)出什么致命性的話。
Yeah, but… what about debt?
是的，但是……欠的錢怎么辦呢?
Yeah, but… what about my job?
是的，但是……工作呢?
Yeah, but… what about my boyfriend (or dog or car or whatever)?
是的，但是……我的男朋友呢(或小狗，汽車以及其他的東西)?
“Yeah, but…” is pernicious. Because it makes it sound like we have the best of intentions when really we are just too scared to do what we should. It allows us to be cowards, while sounding noble.
“是的，但是……”這句話很不好。聽起來(lái)就好像我們很多美好的想法沒有實(shí)現(xiàn)只是因?yàn)轭檻]太多。 這句話聽起來(lái)冠冕堂皇，其實(shí)只不過(guò)表明我們是懦夫。
Most people I know who waited to travel the world never did. Be careful of the yeah-but. The yeah-but will kill your dreams. I was so stirred by this conversation that I shared it with a group of about thirty young adults last night, many who were asking these very questions.
我認(rèn)識(shí)的大多數(shù)人都有環(huán)游世界的愿望，卻一直沒有付諸行動(dòng)。當(dāng)心“是的，但是...” 這句話，它會(huì)扼殺你很多夢(mèng)想。這次聊天在我心中掀起很大波瀾，昨晚我跟一群30歲左右的年輕人說(shuō)起這個(gè)話題，他們當(dāng)中很多人問(wèn)的也是這些問(wèn)題。
When you get older, life seems to just sort of happen to you. Your youth is a time of total empowerment. You get to do what you want. As you mature and gain new responsibilities, you have to be very intentional about making sure you don’t lose sight of what’s important. So if you still have a reasonable amount of control over your circumstances,you should do what really matters. Because life won’t always be just about you.
隨著年紀(jì)的增大，人生似乎愈來(lái)愈帶著幾分宿命的味道。年少的時(shí)光是一段自己可以完全做主的時(shí)光。你可以做任何你想做的事。隨著你逐漸成熟，不斷扛起新的責(zé)任，你得時(shí)刻提醒自己不要忘了什么才是重要的。因此，如果你的生活仍然有一部分能夠自由支配的話，應(yīng)該去做那些重要的事情。因?yàn)樯畈粫?huì)永遠(yuǎn)只屬于你一個(gè)人。
During early adulthood your worldview is still being formed. It’s important to stewardthis time —to give yourself opportunities to grow. A good way to do that is to travel.
剛成年時(shí)，你的世界觀仍在形成期。如何管理這段時(shí)期非常重要，要給自己一個(gè)成長(zhǎng)的機(jī)會(huì)。一個(gè)好辦法就是去旅游。
There are three reasons to travel while you’re young:
為什么要在年輕的時(shí)候去旅行，這里有3個(gè)理由：
1. Traveling teaches you to live an adventure
旅游會(huì)使你的生活變得冒險(xiǎn)刺激
When you look back on your life, you will have moments of which you are proud and maybe a few you regret. It’s likely that the following won’t be on the latter list:
當(dāng)你回顧人生，你會(huì)有很多值得驕傲的時(shí)刻，可能也有一些會(huì)讓你遺憾。希望這些不會(huì)出現(xiàn)在你遺憾的清單上：
Bicycled across the Golden Gate Bridge.
騎自行車穿越金門大橋。
Appeared on Italian TV.
出現(xiàn)在意大利電視臺(tái)上。
Hiked a Mayan ruin.
徒步走在瑪雅廢墟上。
Learned Spanish in three months.
三個(gè)月內(nèi)學(xué)會(huì)西班牙語(yǔ)。
Toured Europe by train.
坐火車游歐洲。
They’re not on mine (fun fact: I’ve done all of the above).
至少我不會(huì)覺得遺憾(很高興，這些我全都做過(guò)了)。
You should take the time to see the world and taste the fullness of life. It’s worth whatever investment or money or sacrifice of time required on your part. It’s not about being a tourist. It’s about experiencing true risk and adventure so you don’t have to live in fear for the rest of your life.
你應(yīng)該花時(shí)間去看看這個(gè)世界，體驗(yàn)完整的人生。對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)，花再多的錢和時(shí)間都是值得的。這不僅僅是要做一個(gè)旅行者，而是為了體驗(yàn)真正的冒險(xiǎn)，這樣你的余生將不會(huì)有遺憾。
2. Traveling helps you encounter compassion
旅游會(huì)使你心懷憐憫之心
In your youth, you will make choices that will define you. The disciplines you begin now will be with you for the rest of your life. Traveling will change you like little else can. It will put you in places that will force you to care for issues that are bigger than you.
年輕的時(shí)候，你做什么決定都取決于你自己。你應(yīng)該從現(xiàn)在起就開始控制你的行為，這將會(huì)伴隨你的余生。就像其他東西一樣，旅游會(huì)改變你。它會(huì)帶你去到那些地方，迫使你關(guān)心那些比你自己的世界更廣闊的事情。
If you go to southeast Asia, you may encounter the slave trade. If eastern Europe, you may see the effects of genocideand religious persecution. If Haiti, you’ll witness the the ugly side Western paternalism.
如果你去東南亞，你可能會(huì)遇到奴隸交易;去東歐，你會(huì)看到種族滅絕和宗教迫害;而在海地，你會(huì)親眼目睹到西方家長(zhǎng)作風(fēng)的丑陋面。
You will begin to understand that the world is both a big and small place. You will have a new-found respect for the pain and suffering that over half of the world takes for granted on a daily basis. And you will feel more connected to your fellow human beings in a deep and lasting way. You will learn to care.
你會(huì)開始明白，這個(gè)世界說(shuō)大也大，說(shuō)小也小。你會(huì)對(duì)這世界上一半以上的人們每天所遭受的習(xí)以為常的痛苦和磨難產(chǎn)生深切的同情，也會(huì)感受到和你的人類同胞之間更加持久而深厚的聯(lián)系。你會(huì)學(xué)會(huì)關(guān)愛。
3. Traveling allows you to get some culture
旅游會(huì)增長(zhǎng)你的文化知識(shí)
While you’re still young, you should get cultured. Get to know the world and the magnificent people that fill it.
年輕的時(shí)候應(yīng)該博采眾長(zhǎng)。多了解這個(gè)世界，多向杰出的人們學(xué)習(xí)。
There’s nothing quite like walking alongside the Coliseum or seeing Michelangelo’s David in person. I can describe the city of San Juan and its amazing beaches and historic sites to you, but you really have to see it for yourself to experience it. You can read all the books in the world about the Great Wall of China or The Louvre , but being there is a different story.
沒有什么能比得上在大戲院周邊漫步或觀賞米開朗基羅的杰作《大衛(wèi)》雕像了。我可以向你描述波多黎各的圣胡安以及它那令人嘆為觀止的海灘和古跡，但你真的應(yīng)該自己親身體會(huì)一下。你可能讀遍了世界上關(guān)于中國(guó)的長(zhǎng)城和法國(guó)盧浮宮的書，但身臨其境又是另外一種感受。
The world is a stunning place, full of outstanding works of art. See this while you’re still young. Do not squanderthis time, because you will never have it again.
這個(gè)世界是令人驚嘆的，到處都是讓人嘆服的藝術(shù)品。趁著你還年輕好好看看這世界。不要浪費(fèi)時(shí)間，因?yàn)榍啻赫娴囊蝗ゾ筒粫?huì)再來(lái)了。
You won’t always be young, and life won’t always be just about you. So travel and experience the world for all it’s worth. You will become a person of culture, adventure and compassion.
你不會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)年輕，你的生活中也不會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)只是你自己?，F(xiàn)在就去旅行吧，盡情體驗(yàn)這個(gè)世界，因?yàn)樗档媚闳チ私?。你?huì)成為一個(gè)博學(xué)多識(shí)、富于冒險(xiǎn)精神和同情心的人。

Life is like a box of chocolate, you never konw what you are gonna get.
生活就像是你面前的一盒巧克力，結(jié)果往往出人意料。
It includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day, we learn to handle various situations.
生活中有快樂(lè)難過(guò)，有成功失敗，也會(huì)經(jīng)歷充滿希望和絕望的時(shí)候。它就像是一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)的過(guò)程。在生活中所積累的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，給了我們新的認(rèn)知，從而完善自己。隨著一天一天的過(guò)去，我們學(xué)會(huì)了處理生活中出現(xiàn)的各式各樣。
Happiness and Sorrow
快樂(lè)與痛苦
Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but it achieved by showing your smiles and transferring them to others can be lasting and get a certain sense of achievement. We,as a human being, should be aware of the importance of gratitude. Gratitude is the source of happiness or in other words, it is irrational to take others’ solicitude and love for granted
唯物主義中所說(shuō)的快樂(lè)是短暫性的，但是當(dāng)你把微笑傳遞給他人時(shí)，此時(shí)快樂(lè)就會(huì)變的持久，并且你也會(huì)有成就感。作為一個(gè)人，我們應(yīng)該要意識(shí)到感恩的重要性。擁有一顆感恩的心是快樂(lè)的來(lái)源，換句話說(shuō)，當(dāng)你把別人對(duì)你的關(guān)心和愛看成是理所當(dāng)然的時(shí)候，此時(shí)的你是不理性的。
We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically coming out when something is out of your plate like death of a loved one, failure and despair. However,all these matters are temporary and could pass away with time going by.
當(dāng)處于痛苦中時(shí)，我們就會(huì)意識(shí)到快樂(lè)的重要性。當(dāng)一些不如意的事情發(fā)生的時(shí)候，比如所愛的人的離世，人生中的失敗和絕望，此時(shí)，你會(huì)感到痛苦。但是，這些痛苦的記憶都是短暫的，隨著時(shí)間的過(guò)去，這些事情也會(huì)消逝。
Failure and Success
成功和失敗
there is a motto:” failure is the mother of success.” Failure is untwined with success.It helps us to touch the sky, teach us to survive and show us a specific way to handle the complicated matters we are in face with in the daily basis.Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on shoulder.
有一句名言：“失敗是成功之母”，失敗和成功是緊密聯(lián)系的。它幫助我們體驗(yàn)生活，教我們?nèi)绾紊?，并且在處理日常生活中遇到的?fù)雜事情時(shí)，給予了明確的解決方法。隨之成功而來(lái)的是金錢，名譽(yù)，自豪，和尊重。此時(shí)，保持頭腦清醒時(shí)非常重要的。
Hope and Despair
希望和絕望
Hope is magic that pulls people out of the edge of despair and gives them the energy to go for a bright future.Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
希望具有魔力，它可以使在絕望邊緣的人找到尋找光明的力量。生活經(jīng)驗(yàn)告訴我們不要對(duì)昨天感到惋惜，因?yàn)樽蛱煲殉蔀檫^(guò)去，并且是我們無(wú)法控制的。明天是未知的，因?yàn)樗锌赡軒Ыo你光明，也有可能帶個(gè)你陰霾。因此，我們所能做地就是今天努力工作，以求更好的明天。

True Traveling
The future history books might record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world – or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train a blurred image of the countryside constantly smears the windows. Car drivers, in particular, are forever obsessed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop. Is it the lure of the great motorways, or what? And as for sea travel, it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song: ‘I joined the navy to see the world, and what did I see? I saw the sea.’ The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says 'I’ve been there'. You mention the remotest, most evocative place-names in the world and someone is bound to say 'I’ve been there' meaning, 'I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else. '
When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you suspend all experience; the present ceases to be a reality: you might just as well be dead. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical weariness. He knows that sound. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travellers.
