出国留学才能领悟到的10件事

Because as someone famous once said, "the best things you learn aren't learned in a classroom."
正如某位名人所说：“你所学到的最精华的东西并非源自课堂。”

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，他们会热情主动帮助你解决难题。你所要做的事就是真诚地询问并充分地感谢。

2、Just because something is in a guidebook doesn’t mean you have to go look at it.
旅行手册上出现的东西，并不意味着你一定要去看。

3、 Every person in a hostel is a potential best friend.
青年旅社里的任何人都有可能在未来成为你最好的朋友。

And sometimes they’ll agree to travel with you for days or weeks, after knowing you for a mere day. Voilà! Lifelong pals!
很多这样的情况：他们可能才刚认识你一天，就同意和你一起进行几天或几星期的旅行。瞧，这就是终身的好伙伴啊！

4、 Trains don’t always depart when they say they will.
火车不总是准点开。

…or ever.
或者……总不是准点开。

5、It is not only possible, but socially permissible, to wear the same outfit for seven days in a row.
连续七天都穿同样的衣服，这不仅很有可能，也是社会大众允许的。

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进易捷航空（欧洲第二大廉价航空公司）的登机行李箱里？所以你真正需要的只是几条不同颜色的围巾……这样，人们就不会注意到你穿着同样的体恤衫出现在一张又一张相片里了。
