IV. Chinese Translation of Paragraphs1. 旅行好比私通：人总受到背叛自己国家的诱惑。

拥有想象力，必定意味着对自己生活的地方不再满意。

男人都有一种离心倾向，我们渴望旅行，恰似那些寻欢的情人。

2.也只有在旅行之时，我们才赞赏古旧之物。

在国内——至少对美国人而言，所有东西都必须得是新近的。

但是我们走出国门的时候，却只对古老的东西感兴趣，因为我们想看看那些历经时间侵袭而保存下来的遗迹。

3.我们旅行的时候，会放下戒备和忧虑，渴望回归过去；我们是向后倒退而非向前迈进；我们培养着自己的歇斯底里。

4. 我们旅行的时候会呈现出自己最好的一面，正如我们穿上自己最漂亮的衣服出行一般，只有我们的护照才会提醒我们，实际上自己是多么平淡无奇！我们出国去认识我们那个陌生的自己，那个诞生在飞机上且令人激动的陌生人。

我们去欧洲观赏那些借便利之名已经从我们的文化中废掉或剔除的一切：宗教、皇室、古雅、差异以及激情。

我们深信其他国家的人民比我们更加热情奔放。

5. 我们每个人都在伪装——不然缘何我们会戴上墨镜并在谈吐举止中尽力模仿另一个地方的本土居民呢？在家里，我们才做回自己；出国后，我们则尽力成为自己始终想做的人。

尽管最近大家都在谈论有关根的话题，但我们中的许多人都厌倦了自己的根，而这根本身也可能入土很浅，于是我们四处旅行，寻找无根的感觉。

6. 人变得好奇起来，旅行也就开始了。

教会的影响力、传统的生活方式、缺乏钱财、难得闲暇, 都制约了人们的好奇心。

直到17世纪，在科学发现的促进之下，物质世界的大门才被撬开。

也只有那时，人们才开始旅行，寻求世俗的快慰。

7. 旅行可增长见识，可洞悉本国或异域的文化，可造就现代人的厌倦感。

类似十字军东征的元素在现代旅行者身上依然存在，只不过他是个人出征，这是驱使他远离家乡，进行说不清道不明的精神征战的一种冲动。

8.当然，旅行最普通的原因就是为了远离家乡。

弗洛伊德说我们旅行是为了逃离父亲和家庭，而我们也可以补充说是为了逃离我们熟悉的一切。

人们经常会有放弃生活的念头，走出自己的生活。

9. 旅行之时，我们是在度假休闲—— 即生活空闲有待填补。

有些游客疯狂购物，那是他们试图在购买新的生活。

身在异乡的人会有种解脱的奢华享受，他可以自由交往，无需承担任何责任。

个人顿时成了看客，永远立于不败之地的看客。

10.我们在户外生机盎然的夏日出行，因此我们仅能看到人们夏日的模样，而难见他们令人悲伤的秋天、黑暗漫长的冬天以及残酷的春天。

我们所到之处都镀上了金色的阳光，花朵和树木则好比抛向历史的花束。

11. 还有语言——撇开自己那满口陈词滥调的语言是多么令人愉快！用另一种语言去交谈又是多么动听！仿佛我们的耳朵经清洗过一般。

只要我们不太理解其意，任何外语都是诗歌。

12.正因为旅行的缘由很多——有些还自相矛盾——所以游记就好比行李箱，作家努力将所有东西都塞入其中。

游记最有趣的部分是一个逐渐品味的过程，它表达了对某种特殊事物的怀旧情感。

旅行好比在异国他乡玩的童真游戏，犹如我们儿时玩过家家一样。

13. 游记所描绘的是悲剧的弧线：它开场时兴高采烈，落幕时心情低落。

最早的游客。

出国看奇观，去赞赏世界的丰富多彩——而当下的游客好比是坐在垂死文化床边的访客；早期的游客对陌生之地一见钟情——而现在我们只有在最后一眼、死前最后一吻、最后一息之际才懂得爱。

在古代有些社会中，儿子要吸入父亲去世前最后一口气，其中含有他父亲将要离体的魂魄,如今的游客也做着类似的事情。

14. 游记创作现已成为真正的现代事物，充满了当前对过去的惋惜。

我们旅行时像保险评估员，评估着每处的损失。

在国内我们强硬反对任何类型的种族差异，而在国外我们却崇拜这种差异。

具有讽刺意味的是，美国人比欧洲人更需要欧洲。

譬如对巴黎人而言，巴黎是生活的地方，但对美国人而言，那里是梦想的地方。

15. “我不期待在不久的将来看到很多游记，”伊夫林·沃1946年写道。

他看到世界正朝“单一文化”方向发展，不同的地域感正在滑向无感状态。

但沃没能预见的是，游记也会像小说和诗歌那样发生变化，而且文化的任何滑移都会产生独特的文学。

他低估了我们旅行动机的多样性。

16. 也总有些游客外出旅行是为了自讨苦头，为他们的焦虑与绝望寻找合理的解释，为他们梦想的幻灭贴上标签，恰如以前蒸汽船的行李箱上贴满标签一样。

要不为何保罗·索鲁要去他显然很厌恶的南美旅行？施瓦·奈保尔最怕的噩梦在非洲得到了证实，正如他弟弟的噩梦在亚洲得到证实一样。

格雷厄姆·格林则为了独自忏悔而在利比里亚丛林游荡了四个月。

17. 甚至连废墟也变了。

古典的废墟已荡然无存，现在很多地方纯粹已被“毁坏”。

对此也有游客乐不可支，他们为破败而喜欢破败。

对他们而言，破败就是当代异域风情的代名词。

这是一种极端负面的情绪，一种见毁心喜的病态。

18. 当国外可寻的异域风情越来越少的时候，游记作家就被迫从自身寻找异域特色——以及优美风景——离心倾向由此变为向心运动。

现代游记会记录某些东西的缺失，正如经典著作会讲述它们的存在一样。

在《卡尔斯之行》中，具有讽刺意味的是，菲利普·格雷兹布鲁克游访了几个毫无特色的土耳其村庄，似乎仅仅是为了去一下那些地方。

（讽刺似乎已经成为了当代游客随洗随干的汗衫。

）像格雷兹布鲁克那样极具见识的游客所要追求的东西之一就是一个可以突显他自身的地方。

19. 或许我们将来得像詹姆士·霍尔曼那样旅行。

他由于失明从英国海军病退以后，于1819年开始环游世界。

虽然他基本上是单独旅行，也不会讲外语，且只乘公共交通，但他旅行的脚步却远至西伯利亚。

返回家乡之后，他出版了几部厚厚的著作，描述他的所见所闻。

他说他虽然失明了，但却很少觉得错过什么东西。

（他途中曾经遇到过一位聋子，两人还结伴而行。

）20. 由于失明，人们常常会请霍尔曼挤捏东西以感知它们——这也正是现今游客必须做的事情。

他必须挤挤他到访的地方，以便能挤出点东西，任何东西都行。

Something similar is happening when the Earth’s major peoples, languages, religions and cultures meet. One such area is the eastern end of the Mediterranean. The southeastern corner of the Europe is mountainous, and rarely at peace. The Balkans were at the edge of the Roman Empire, and when in the 4th and 6th centuries A.D., huge migrations of people from Central Asia lead to the collapse of that empire, many of them settled in that area. The Roman Empire split to two before its final disappearance. The western half was based ∧Rome and followed the Roman Catholic version of Christianity. The eastern half, with its capital in Constantinople, believed in the Orthodox Church. Some of the tribes became Catholic; others became Orthodox, and thus the complex jigsaw became even more complex. Then the Muslim Turks marched into the area, sweeping side the remains of the Roman Empire. During their rule in the Balkans, many of the inhabitants converted to Islam, and yet another division came into being. When the Turkish empire ∧turn disappeared, the Balkans exploded, and the result was the First World War. (1)meet (2)the (3)led (4)into (5)in (6)aside (7)inLater, the Germans tried to hold down the region, but they failed. Peace came temporarily under the rule of the Communist Tito, but after his death and the break-in of the Soviet Union, the old divisions surfaced again, and a bitter civil war broke out in Yugoslavia, new nations emerging, as neighbors killed and tortured ∧other with a savagery that shocked the world. The Balkans seem likely to remain a center for politic earthquakes.(8)break-up (9)each (10) political 6. Fill in each blank in the passage below with ONE appropriate word.Why We Travel?We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, (1) next, to find ourselves. We travel to (2) open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in (3) essence, to become young fools again — to (4) slow time down and get taken (5) in, and fall in love once more. The beauty of this whole process was best described, perhaps, before people even took (6) to frequent flying, by George Santayana in his lapidary essay, “The Philosophy of Travel.” We “need sometimes,” the Harvard philosopher wrote, “to (7) escape into open solitudes, into aimlessness, (8) into the moral holiday of running some pure hazard, in order to (9) sharpen the edge of life, to taste hardship, and to be compelled to work desperately for a moment at no matter what.”I like that stress on (10) work, since never more than on the road are we shown how proportional our blessings are to the (11) difficulty that precedes them; and I like the (12) stress on a holiday that’s “moral” since we fall into our ethical habits as (13) easily as into our beds at night. Few of us ever forget the connection between “travel” and “travail,” and I know that I travel in large part in search of (14) hardship — both my own, which I want to feel, and others’, which I need to see. Travel in that sense guides us toward a better (15) balance of wisdom and compassion — of seeing the world clearly, and yet feeling it truly. For (16) seeing without feeling can obviously be uncaring; while (17) feeling without seeing can be blind. Yet for me the first great joy of traveling is simply the luxury of leaving all my beliefs and certainties at (18) home, and seeing everything I thought I knew in a (19) different light, and from a crooked (20) angle. In that regard, even a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet in Beijing can be both novelty and revelation: In China, after all, people will pay a whole week’s wages to eat with Colonel Sanders. IV.
