旅行會讓你的生活
刺激又驚奇
01
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:
當你回顧人生,你會有很多值得驕傲的時刻,可能也有一些會讓你遺憾。希望這些不會出現在你遺憾的清單上:
Bicycled across the Golden Gate Bridge.
騎自行車穿越金門大橋。
Appeared on Italian TV.
出現在義大利電視台上。
Hiked a Mayan ruin.
徒步走在瑪雅廢墟上。
Learned Spanish in three months.
三個月內學會西班牙語。
Toured Europe by train.
坐火車游歐洲。
They』re not on mine (fun fact: I』ve done all of the above).
至少我不會覺得遺憾(很高興,這些我全都做過了)。
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.
你應該花時間去看看這個世界,體驗完整的人生。對你來說,花再多的錢和時間都是值得的。這不僅僅是要做一個旅行者,而是為了體驗真正的冒險,這樣你的餘生將不會有遺憾。
即便只有幾十秒!
旅行會使你
心懷憐憫之心
02
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.
年輕的時候,你做什麼決定都取決於你自己。你應該從現在起就開始控制你的行為,這將會伴隨你的餘生。就像其他東西一樣,旅遊會改變你。它會帶你去到那些地方,迫使你關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,你可能會遇到奴隸交易;去東歐,你會看到種族滅絕和宗教迫害;而在海地,你會親眼目睹到西方家長作風的醜陋面。
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.
你會開始明白,這個世界說大也大,說小也小。你會對這世界上一半以上的人們每天所遭受的習以為常的痛苦和磨難產生深切的同情,也會感受到和你的人類同胞之間更加持久而深厚的聯繫。你會學會關愛。

旅行讓你觸摸世界的邊界
While you』re still young, you should get cultured. Get to know the world and the magnificent people that fill it.
年輕的時候應該博採眾長。多了解這個世界,多向傑出的人們學習。
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.
沒有什麼能比得上在大戲院周邊漫步或觀賞米開朗基羅的傑作《大衛》雕像了。我可以向你描述波多黎各的聖胡安以及它那令人嘆為觀止的海灘和古迹,但你真的應該自己親身體會一下。你可能讀遍了世界上關於中國的長城和法國盧浮宮的書,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.
這個世界是令人驚嘆的,到處都是讓人嘆服的藝術品。趁著你還年輕好好看看這世界。不要浪費時間,因為青春真的一去就不會再來了。
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.
你不會永遠年輕,你的生活中也不會永遠只是你自己。現在就去旅行吧,盡情體驗這個世界,因為它值得你去了解。你會成為一個博學多識、富於冒險精神和同情心的人。
