突破口语之独白(15):A disgruntled traveler一位不满的旅客
“Traveling involves so much stress! Preparation is especially hard - trying to arrange the transportation, accommodation, and time off from work. Packing isn't easy. How can you possibly know everything you may or may not need in a place that's largely unknown to you? Assuming you ever reach your destination, you have to communicate with people who often don't speak your language and you have to navigate 1 your way around an area you have no idea about. How are you supposed to relax under such conditions? And all that money you're spending! For what? I don't get it at all.”
--George Threadborne, disgruntled traveler
旅行的压力太大了。准备工作尤其艰难,要安排交通、食宿,还要告假。行李收拾也不容易。在一个你一无所知的地方,你怎么可能预料什么对你有用什么又对你没用?假设你到达你的目的地,你必须和那些通常不和你讲同一国语言的人交流。还要在一个你毫不熟悉的地方探路。在这样的情况下你怎么可能放松?还有,想想旅行要花的钱!这到底是为了什么?我可不知道。
--不满的旅客 乔治•斯瑞得
