“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 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.”

$ R- A! a( Z$ S9 Z( d( v8 C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。
