现如今,去世界各地旅行已变得更为便捷。众多目的地及各种不同的文化,以前所未有的开放姿态向旅行者敞开大门,而高端的科技更是确保了人们能随时随地分享各自经历。以下几点建议有助于旅行安全。

1. To Tip or Not to Tip 小费,给或不给

Tipping manners are different from country to country and knowing the local customs can save you from an embarrassing situation or from getting ripped off.

小费习俗因邦而异,了解当地习俗可避免遭遇尴尬或被敲竹杠。

2. Connect with Caution 谨慎连网没坏处

Being connected to the Internet is something that most people cannot imagine being without. Before connecting to any WIFI network while traveling make sure that your device has the proper settings and safeguards in place to prevent others from accessing your device.

很多人无法想象没有网络该怎么活。旅行在外,连接任何WIFI网络之前,请确定你的设备配置恰当并装有安全防护软件,以防他人侵扰。

3. Being Too Social 太过高调惹麻烦

Bragging about upcoming trips and posting photos while you are on vacation is so common. Keep in mind that you are advertising that you’ve left behind an empty house. So don’t make Burglars’ job any easier by giving them your travel process.

度假前炫耀即将到来的旅行,度假时晒晒照片,这些已成为旅行不可缺少的部分了。可也千万别忘了,这么做等于在广而告之:你家里正无人把门呢。所以,最好别事无巨细描述自己的旅程,别让窃贼轻易得逞。

Vocabulary

embarrassing:使人尴尬的。

rip off:敲竹杠,被坑骗。

connect:连接;联结。

internet:互联网。

device:装置,设备。

prevent...from:预防;阻碍,阻止。

brag about:吹嘘,夸耀。

advertise:做广告,宣扬。

4. Doing the Last Minute Shuffle 各项计划提前做

You may have planned out your trip, but don’t forget about the few days before you start your adventure. We suggest that you add a few pre-travel days to your planning to make sure you are not over stressed.

或许你已将旅程安排得妥妥帖帖,但在出行之前最好也别忘了不在家时的各项安排。建议你旅行前空出几天做计划,以免旅行过于紧张。

5. Forgetting to Relax 无所事事也享受

Remember that you are traveling to enjoy yourself, so make sure to plan in some time to do nothing. You can see the Eiffel Tower in a million photographs on the Internet, but you can only experience the culture of Paris in Paris. Grab a coffee at a sidewalk café, and listen to the urban beats around you.

请记住:旅行是为了放轻松,所以做好无所事事的准备吧。或许你已在网络多次看过埃菲尔铁塔,但巴黎的文化,却只能在巴黎亲身体验才行。所以,何不在路边咖啡馆品尝咖啡,倾听周遭的都市交响曲呢!
