世界这么大，我想去看看——My very first trip abroad

一阕婉词

第一次走出国门，心中不免忐忑和兴奋，本着轻装上阵，节俭舒适，避免被罚，不给国人丢脸的初衷，特意网购了一个可以提上飞机的旅行袋，我们四位的东西能减即减：一双平底鞋，几套深色衣服，一个水杯，一把雨伞，一个背包，几百欧元，踏上了穷游的旅程。美丽的空姐优雅地告诉我们：乳制品，肉制品，水果蔬菜是不能带出国的，飞了13个小时，在罗马下了飞机，旅游团集合，我们懵了 ：我们的团友，那是个个带着大大的行李箱（国际航班原来可以免费托运的），旅游设备一应俱全，高跟鞋，时尚衣裙，浓妆淡抹，姹紫嫣红，My God ! 我们简直就是地地道道，道道地地的“乡巴佬”，出土文物，哈哈哈😄😄😄

It being the very first trip abroad , naturally , I feel not a little excited as well as upset. With an aim of traveling light and traveling cheap , we cut down our luggage to as little as possible into a small bag. With several suits of dark clothes , a pair of sports shoes , a vacuum cup , an umbrella , a backpack and four hundred Euros , we begin our travel on a budget. On the plane , the pretty stewardess tells us elegantly ：No dairy and meat products as well as fruits and vegetables are allowed to be taken abroad. After thirteen long hours' flight , we finally land in Rome. When gathering together with other group members , we are stunned : Each of our fellow tourists carries a huge trunk with all kinds of traveling necessities stuck inside. With high~heeled shoes , fashionable clothes and heavy makeup ，they look simply gorgeous while we are so miserably bookish and countrified. 😄😄😄

1. 永恒之都——意大利首都罗马 感受：阳光，“热情，废墟，野性”

the Eternal City --- Rome , the capital of Italy --- heat , ruins , and savagery.

君士坦丁大帝凯旋门 —— 凯旋门依旧，帝国梦飘零

the triumphal arch by Constantine the Great ------ the arch remains intact though the empire has long been shattered.

斗兽场，恍惚间看到了野蛮的人兽肉搏的惨烈

the Roman Colosseum ----- It reminds me of the cruelty of the fight between wild animals and humans beings.

罗马帝国古迹 ，记载着昔日的野性辉煌

ruins of the Roman Empire ------ the records of the violent glory of its past.

2. 一路上感受着意大利的炽热

All along the way , we bear the heat of Italy.

中途逗留喝咖啡和解手，欧洲没有开水（除了中餐厅），我们得喝水龙头里的水（据说干净无污染），这里的水忒冰凉，想想还是别多喝了，上洗手间一次半欧元或是一欧元（7，8块钱😄😄）

On the way , we stay for coffee. Without boiled water , we have no choice but to drink ice-cold water directly from the faucet. It is said that the water is drinkable free of pollution. Cool as the water is , we drink only a little for fear of frequent visits to toilets , for it costs nearly one Euro for just one visit.

4. 浪漫水城——意大利威尼斯 终于来到梦中的威尼斯，这是传奇，不是传说

the romantic city of water ----- Venice, a legend that romance is a network.

总督府和监狱只有一桥之隔——叹息桥

There is only a short bridge between the government's palace and the prison ------ Bridge of Sighs.

幽长狭窄的水巷

the long and narrow passage

名副其实的水上之城

a true city rising from the water

圣马可广场

the Piazza of S Mark

意大利墨鱼面——味道虽然不咋地，但吃起来大家都变成黑嘴巴，忍俊不禁，算是一道 “趣味料理”吧

spaghetti with cuttlefish ------ not so tasty as expected. We all burst into laughter at the glance of each other's black mouths, an amusing cuisine.

5. 奥地利城市——因斯布鲁克：古色古香

an Austrian city ------ Innsbruck , a city filled with antique flavor.

位于阿尔卑斯山谷中的城市像童话故事一般美丽

a city situated in the valley of Alps ------ as magical as a fairy tale

6. 德国的宝马汽车博物馆——利用声，光，电，多媒体等高科技手段展示不同年代的宝马产品，图片或是实物

the museum of BMW in Germany ------ It displays BMW products from different times , pictures and objects alike , using sound, light and and multimedia .

这些宝马车的前身你见过吗？

Have you ever seen these former BMW cars before?

这辆车是不是挺有意思？

An interesting car , isn't it?

7. 慕尼黑 玛丽安广场，玛丽安教堂和市政厅

the Marian plaza in Munich

8. 群山怀抱中梦幻般的天鹅堡

the magnificent swan castle in the embrace of mountains

奇幻瑰丽的风景和功败垂成的白色城堡诉说着一段凄美的爱情故事：茜茜公主和弗朗茨国王 的千古绝恋

The fantastic and dreamlike unfinished white castle is romance in itself. It tells the immortal love story between Princess Sissi and King Franz.

清澈迷人的天鹅湖景

the clear and attractive Swan Lake

团友抓拍的这幅图超级唯美

The picture snapped by our fellow tourist is simply perfect aesthetically.

9. 徜徉于旅店周围的异域风情

We linger in the streets around the hotel , enchanted by the exotica.

俗话说，萝卜青菜，各有所爱。在我看来，西餐又贵又难吃……

It is uncomfortably true that one man's meat is another man's poison .To me , western food is extremely expensive with a terrible taste.

别小看这个房卡，弄丢的话罚款100欧元呵。这里蚊子又多又大，心想：被咬一次应该索赔多少欧元?😄😄😄

We will be fined 100 euros if this very key is lost. The hotel is haunted with fat mosquitoes. How much should I charge for a bite , I wonder.😄😄

10. 今天参观了被誉为“瑞士的后花园”的超级小的国家——列支敦士登，以邮票出名。偶听到团友给孩子打电话——孩子问：妈妈你现在在哪里？妈妈说：妈妈现在一个妈妈也没听明白的小小小的国家里。😄😄

Today, we visit a tiny country known as the back garden of Switzerland and famous for stamps ------ Liechtenstein. Unintentionally , I overhear a conversation between a mother and her son ------ " Where are you, Mom? " , " I am now in a tiny country whose name I can not make sense of myself. "😄😄😄

11. 瑞士的狮子纪念碑 ——世界上最哀伤的狮子——一支箭插进了濒临死亡的雄狮背上，狮子神情痛苦，前爪按盾牌和长矛，盾牌上有瑞士国徽。 知识渊博的帅哥导游让我们增长了不少见识：狮子代表瑞士的男人，高大，帅气，忠诚，是他们铸就了今天的瑞士。此碑是为纪念在法国大革命时期为保卫巴黎杜乐丽宫和路易十六而牺牲的786名瑞士雇佣军而建的

the dying lion of Lucerne in Switzerland ------ the saddest lion in the world. With an arrow stabbed into its back , the dying lion looks painful , putting its front paws on the spear and shield with Swiss national emblem on it . The knowledgeable handsome guide has our horizons broadened------ The lion stands for Swiss men , strong , handsome and faithful. It is they who make Switzerland what it is today. The monument is built in memory of the 786 Swiss mercenary soldiers who died during the French Revolution in defense of the Tuileries Palace and Louis XIV .

瑞士美轮美奂的琉森湖 ：水光潋滟晴方好，山色空蒙雨亦奇

the charming Lake Lucerne in Switzerland------ The brimming waves delight the eyes on sunny days while the dimming hills present rare view in rainy haze.

湖上的水塔花桥——丽日碧水，流光溢彩

the water tower and the flower bridge across the lake ------ The water glitters with sunlight dancing on it

街头艺人

a busker playing an instrument in the street

这里晚上9点天色才开始变暗（国内是凌晨3点呵），我们利用这段时间好好explore一下：瑞士超级干净，瑞士人超级友好。

It is getting dark at approximately nine o'clock (It is three o'clock in the next morning at home.) , when we four explore Switzerland together. Obviously, the streets are super clean and the Swiss are super lady and gentleman.

12. 坐缆车游览瑞士境内，期待已久的 铁力士雪山

Climb the Titlis in a cable car located in Switzerland.

俯瞰蔚蓝的“空中”湖泊

Overlook the blue lake high up among mountains.

千年冰洞里的向日葵

银装素裹

the snow-capped rolling Alps

第一次看到真正的雪

This is the first time that I have seen real snow.

好像哪里都是中国游客最多😄，雪地滑，一位游客滑倒了，旁边一位中国游客打趣：俺给你磕头了😄😄😄

It seems that everywhere there are more Chinese tourists than those from elsewhere. One tourist trips and falls on the slippery ice and a Chinese tourist teases it as a kowtow.

喜欢把你捧在手心的感觉

I love the feeling when I hold you in my hands.

高处并不寒😄

Actually , it is not a bit cold at all on the mountaintop at this time of the year.

13. 坐黄金列车看瑞士的沿途美景——除了山，便是湖泊和草地，地方特色的小屋星罗棋布

Enjoy the scenery along the way on a train. What greets me is all but blue lakes , green grasslands and mountains with local cottages scattering here and there.

14. 据说法国人很“浪漫”，有人这样形象的描述法国人——春天工作，夏天休假，秋天罢工，冬天放假😄

Frenchmen are considered to be romantic . They are described to work in spring , take a vacation in summer , go on a strike in autumn and enjoy festivals in winter.

15. 凡尔赛宫外景

outside the palace of Versailles

从凡尔赛宫里的镜廊，法国皇宫的奢华可见一斑。让人不由得联想到路易十四缔造的时尚和香水

From the decorations of mirror gallery of Versailles , the extravagance of French palace can be imagined, which is closely associated with the fashion and perfume created by Louis XIV.

16. 收藏价值连城的稀世艺术珍宝的卢浮宫，主要是古希腊神话里裸体雕塑和达芬奇的画作，镇馆之宝——一个没手臂，一个没脑袋，一个似笑非笑——这是能激发我们想象力的残缺美呵😄😄😄

Du Louvre is home to a fascinating collection of priceless art treasures , mainly nude sculptures from ancient Greece and paintings by Da Vinci. The key highlights are these ------ one without arms , one without a head and one with a mysterious smile. This is beauty with a flaw , which encourages our imagination. 😄😄😄

17. 法国海鲜大餐

French seafood------ It looks delicious.

18. 拿破仑 为庆祝自己军功而建的凯旋门——你的名言激励了世界——“不想当将军的士兵不是好士兵”，“我成功因为我想成功”，“我的字典里没有“不可能”这样的字眼”……

the triumphal arch built by Napoleon in celebration of his military achievement. Your words inspire the whole world. ------ Every French soldier carries a marshal's baton in his packsack. I succeeded because to be successful I never hesitated. There's no such a word as "impossible" in my dictionary.

19.   塞纳河游船——乘坐贯穿巴黎市区的彩带，穿越风格迥异的桥梁，领略两岸典雅的建筑，别有一番风味。忽听游船上一群打扮得五颜六色的中国大妈齐声喊着口号之类在拍照——这是另外一道风景呵😄😄😄

Cruise River Seine ------ It is like winding through Paris on a ribbon. It is relaxing and rewarding sailing through bridges of different styles and admiring the elegant buildings along the river. All of a sudden , there come bursts of shouts and cheers from a group of Chinese Damas dressed up colourfully taking a photo. What a scene !

今天的天气冷飕飕的，而且在光天化日之下当街被扒窃，虽多亏了团友及时发现而免受损失，但心情着实受到影响……

It's chilly today , which needs some adjustment . Worse still , I am pickpocketed in the street in broad daylight . Though the attempt is in vain thanks to my fellow tourist , it truly ruins my mood.

20. 埃菲尔铁塔，巴黎的标志之一，为巴黎增添了一抹浪漫色彩——埃菲尔耗费10年为纪念他的妻子而建的铁塔。无论在巴黎哪里，只要抬头看，都能看到铁塔，它的寓意——无论何时何地，假若你愿意回头，我一直在这里守候

Tower Eiffel , a symbol of Paris , adds a tint of romance to Paris. It took Mr. Eiffel ten long years to build it in memory of his wife. Wherever you are in Paris , you can spot the tower as long as you look up. It means that wherever and whenever you are , as long as you are willing to pick up our romance , I am right here waiting for you.

21. 繁华的奥斯曼大街，香榭丽舍大道，尤其是老佛爷百货商店——中国人抢购奢侈品的天堂

Stroll through bustling Osman Street and Avenue des Champs Elysees , especially Galleries Lafayette , a paradise where Chinese rush to purchase luxury items .

回国啦😄

Every journey has an end however unforgettable it is .It's time to return.
