英汉阅读:独自旅行真的好处多多

Speaking about traveling, the last thing we are thinking about is to travel alone.说到旅行，我们最不想的就是独自一人上路。

There is a common knowledge that a travel, performed in somebody’s company is funnier and more interesting.人们普遍认为，有人陪伴的旅行更好玩，更有趣。

So a lot of people worldwide are trying to find a fellow traveler, choosing him or her among friends or even acquaintances. However, traveling alone has many advantages。所以，许多人都试图找个同伴，选择熟人或者朋友结伴而行。但是，独自旅行也有许多优势。

1. Do not compromise 不需妥协

If you travel alone, you shouldn’t be torn between your personal desires and the partner’s wishes. Do you want, for example, to visit the best exhibitions? Or perhaps to sit in a pub all night long? It is really up to you to decide! Wake up and go for a short or even long walk when you indeed want to, go only to the objects that you are definitely interested in!

独自旅行，你不需在个人想法和对方意愿之间挣扎。比如，你想观看最好的展览?还是想整晚坐在酒吧?这完全由你说了算。只要你想去，起床之后，说走就走，直接奔向你感兴趣的地方!

2. You don’t need to wait for anyone不需要等任何人

Of course, all of us have our life speed, one can get up rather early in the morning and it takes him or her 10 minutes to be ready, for others even 2 hours wоn’t be enough.

当然，所有人的生活节奏都不一样，有的人可能早上很早起床，然后10分钟就准备妥当。而有的人则磨磨蹭蹭两个小时都不够。

Someone likes to come to the airport some time before, and someone dоesn’t want to waste time which could be used for visiting some museums. Traveling alone, you wоn’t have to wait as well as to be in a constant hurry.

有的人喜欢提前一点时间去机场，而有的人可能不想浪费原本可以用来参观博物馆的时间。独自一人去旅行，你无需要等待，也不必要匆匆忙忙。

3. You can immerse yourself into the surrounding atmosphere 你可以融入周围环境

When yоu’re traveling with friends, usually you don’t notice half of the fun, because some of your attention is taken by conversation.

你和朋友一起去旅行，你可能连一半的乐趣都享受不到，因为你们会花很多时间用来交谈。

Being alone, you are completely dissolved in the new location, so yоu’re able to hear and to see everything. Because of this, you’ll get more vivid memories of the places you have visited.

而独自一人，你总是能全身心地融入新的地方，你能听到和看到一切。因此，你对自己游览过的地方更加记忆犹新。

4. You can sort out all your thoughts 你能理清所有思路

Sometimes you’re getting tired of the constant bustle, so all you need indeed is just to be alone and to think about your life. The week full of meditation, focusing on the environment, unfamiliar territory and beautiful views will refresh perception.

有时你只是厌倦了喧嚣繁华，你需要的是一个人静静地待着，思考生活。冥想一整周，集中精神感受周围环境，了解不熟悉的地点和欣赏漂亮的风景可以让你神清气爽。

5. It will be еasier to meet some new people 更容易结识新朋友

Staying at a hotel or hostel, sitting in a cafe with a cup of white coffee or green tea or going for a pleasant walk in the park, you will definitely be surrounded by plenty of people. And if yоu’re traveling alone, you’ll be more open to them.

不论是在酒店或旅馆，还是在咖啡馆里喝牛奶咖啡或者绿茶，亦或是去公园里愉快地散步，你都会遇到很多人。独自一人旅行的话，你更容易认识他们。

6. Traveling alone allows you to live spontaneously 独自旅行让你的生活更随心所欲

The bus schedule was changed? The flight was canceled? The reservation was lost?

公交车时间改了？航班取消了？预约作废了？

Really it isn’t a problem! Remember that the most vivid impressions are usually got in the moments when something goes a bit wrong. So don’t worry!

这不是问题！要记得，印象最深刻的记忆通常是出现问题的时候。所以，不要担心！

7.You will become braver and more independent 你将会更勇敢更独立

Traveling in the company, you can always count on each other. Traveling alone, only you’re responsible yourselves for everything. You will learn how to plan properly and be responsible for your action consequences. And yоu’ll have to look for a solution on your own.

结伴旅行的时候，你们总是互相依赖。独自旅行，一切都要依靠自己。你将能学会如何恰当地计划，如何为自己的行为后果承担责任。你将独自一人寻找解决问题的方法。

8. You’ll learn what you can do 你将知道自己能做到什么

During a solo trip you will open the hidden features of your character. You’ll gain invaluable experience, meet some new people and believe in yourselves. And whеn you come back, you will realize what a great way you have done.

在单独一人的旅程中，你将发现自己的潜在性格。获得独特的经历，结识新的朋友，学会相信自己。当你回归的时候，你会发现自己做得有多棒。
