Unit 3 Travel journal
许多人都会用旅行写作来记录自己的旅行经历，那到底什么是旅行写作呢？让我们一起来了解一下吧！
What Is Travel Writing?
Before we discuss what travel writing is, perhaps we should
say what it isn’t. Travel writing isn’t writing about your
family’s vacation. It isn’t writing about what you liked or
didn’t like about your last trip. And it definitely(明确地)
isn’t writing about destinations(目的地) that you can travel for
free.
Travel writing is writing about places, persons and things
in other places (also writing about how to travel, when to travel,
and advice on travelling—all with readers in mind). It’s about relaying(传递) your travel experiences to others so that they may follow them or at least not make the same mistakes as you did. And it’s writing about things in your own backyard that are different to everyone else—a local farmer’s market, historic site, restaurant, museum, etc.
Before we go further into travel writing, we need to take a look at the readers that will read what you say about a place. There are three parts in the communication process—the sender (the writer), the receiver (the reader), and the message. When
you
were in school, you subconsciously(潜意识地) learned that the writer was the most important part of the process because in academic(学术的) writing, that’s the case. But in general writing, including travel writing, the reader is the most important part of the process. If a writer doesn’t think about the reader before writing, the reader will be less interested or might possibly not understand what the writer is saying.
How did travel writing begin? Travel has a long history. People have always travelled from ancient caravansaries(旅行商社) to modern resorts(名胜). But travel writing began, more or less, during Elizabethan times. Shakespeare got much of the background material for his plays, such as the Merchant of Venice and Romeo and Juliet from Elizabethan travel guides to Italy.
Why is it needed? Travel writing celebrates the differences in manners and customs around the world. It helps readers understand other people and places. And it helps readers plan their own trips and avoid costly mistakes when they’re traveling. But, most of all, it lets readers travel to far－off destinations that they may never see.
