出國留學才能領悟到的10件事
Because as someone famous once said, "the best things you learn aren't learned in a classroom."
正如某位名人所說：“你所學到的最精華的東西並非源自課堂。”1、Humans are inherently kind.
人性本善。Strangers will go far, far out of their way to help you get around. All you must do is ask sincerely and thank copiously.
陌生人不只是陌生人，他們會熱情主動幫助你解決難題。你所要做的事就是真誠地詢問並充分地感謝。
2、Just because something is in a guidebook doesn’t mean you have to go look at it.
旅行手冊上出現的東西，並不意味着你一定要去看。3、 Every person in a hostel is a potential best friend.
青年旅社裏的任何人都有可能在未來成爲你最好的朋友。And sometimes they’ll agree to travel with you for days or weeks, after knowing you for a mere day. Voilà! Lifelong pals!
很多這樣的情況：他們可能纔剛認識你一天，就同意和你一起進行幾天或幾星期的旅行。瞧，這就是終身的好夥伴啊！4、 Trains don’t always depart when they say they will.
火車不總是準點開。…or ever.
或者……總不是準點開。5、It is not only possible, but socially permissible, to wear the same outfit for seven days in a row.
連續七天都穿同樣的衣服，這不僅很有可能，也是社會大衆允許的。How else are you going to fit your suitcase into the easyJet carry-on box? All you really need are a few colored scarves… that way, people won’t notice the same T-shirt recurring in photo after photo.
要不你咋能把你的手提箱塞進易捷航空（歐洲第二大廉價航空公司）的登機行李箱裏？所以你真正需要的只是幾條不同顏色的圍巾……這樣，人們就不會注意到你穿着同樣的體恤衫出現在一張又一張相片裏了。6、 English truly is the universal language.
英語的確是全球通用語言。And people who are learning English looove to practice it with you, even if they don't make sense.
那些英語學習者非常熱愛用英語和你聊天，儘管他們說的話可能一點意義也沒有。7、Spontaneity is rewarded.
臨時起意很值得。Like that time you snagged the one Euro flight to Finland in an online promo. Or when you bought a last-minute ticket to the show in Ibiza. They weren’t the most logical decisions, to be sure, but they’re memories you’ll replay in your mind forever.
比方說上次你抓住網上促銷的機會乘坐一歐元航班飛到芬蘭，或者你買到了最後一張機票去地中海伊比沙島參加節目。確切地來說，這些都不是最理性的決定，但這樣的記憶會讓你回味一生。8、Traveling solo reveals hidden talents.
獨自旅行可以顯露你的潛在才能。You wouldn’t have thought you could navigate a Czech subway without a map… but you did.
你可能都沒想過自己可以不用地圖就成功乘坐捷克地鐵……但是你真的做到了。9、Taxi drivers are some of the greatest people on Earth.
出租車司機是世界上最好的人之一。They just love to talk. And they’re so enthusiastic. And they drive you places so you don’t get lost like usual.
他們熱愛談話，充滿熱情。並且他們把你送到你想要去的地方，你再也不用迷路了。10、Study abroaders are incredibly lucky people.
去海外留學的人都是不可思議的幸運兒。Very few humans get to spend carefree months exploring the world beyond their hometown, let alone during college. To study abroad is a privilege, and an awesome one at that.
很少有人能夠花費幾個月無憂無慮的時光，去探索家鄉外面的世界，更不要說在大學期間。所以去國外留學是一種特權，非常了不起。
