双语：5个理由告诉你为什么旅游就得说走就走

　Carpe diem! Live today and stop putting off what you have always dreamt of experiencing. How exciting and fun your life is depends only on you. Making excuses is much easier than acting, admit it. No career can compare to what you may miss if you do not start thinking differently.

　　及时行乐!活在当下!不要再把你一直梦想要经历的事推迟了。你的生活有多少激情和乐趣只取决于你。不过你得承认找借口比行动要容易得多。如果你再不开始换个角度思考，职场得意也弥补不了你将要失去的东西。

　　Traveling is what makes your life complete. Finding balance isn’t easy yet it is worth trying. Enrich your life by going to Peru to learn the history of the ancient tribes, visiting Bali with its stunning beaches, finding out more about European culture or flying to Africa to see the incredible nature. There are hundreds of reasons why you should travel. Here are only 5 of them:

　　人生要有旅行才是完整的。找到日常生活与旅途生活的平衡并不容易，不过值得尝试。去丰富人生的阅历吧，可以去秘鲁学学远古部落的历史，去巴厘岛那目眩的海滩，去欧洲感受一下当地文化，或者去非洲欣赏壮丽的大自然。应该去旅行的理由成百上千，这里只列出了5个：

　　1. There is no tomorrow – take a break right now.

　　1. 不要想明天——马上休个假。

　　Be spontaneous and travel whenever you feel like leaving your daily routine and boredom. Waiting for a certain time of the year so that you could spoil yourself is wrong. It is tiring and exhausting to live according to some schedule. If you need a break now, then simply take it and let yourself enjoy the time. Who told you that the calendar exists to control you? What if it’s time for you to control your own timetable? No need to wait for your scheduled annual break. Make it happen sooner.

　　只要你想远离每天单调重复的无聊生活，那就来一场说走就走的旅行吧。不要以为非要等到某个时间才可以好好放纵自己，照着时间表生活是很累人的。如果你 现在就想休息一下，那就去休息，让自己好好享受。谁告诉你说日历是用来控制你的?如果说现在就轮到你来控制你的时间安排会怎么样呢?没有必要等到之前预定 的年假了，马上给自己放个假吧。2

　　2. Your company won’t bankrupt or disappear if you leave it for a week or two.

　　2. 你就走开一两个星期，你的公司不会破产或者消失的。

　　There are plenty of people who can substitute you and do your job while you are away. You can do some of it in advance or you can keep it in on hold. Here the point is to plan a week ahead. If you work hard you can play hard. Always remember that the quality of your work will improve if you have a good rest and let yourself relax and recharge with energy and positive emotions.

　　你不在的时候有很多人可以接替你的工作。你可以提前做好一些，或者先把它搁着，重要的是要提前一个星期做好计划。如果你工作勤快，你就可以玩得尽兴。记住，如果你休息得好、好好放松、让自己重新充满活力与正能量，你的工作质量就会提高。3

　　3. You cannot be a good employee if you are unhappy and tense.

　　3. 如果你闷闷不乐、神经紧张，你就不能成为一个好员工

　　Your family suffers too. When your mind is free you can perform at 200 percent. You are useless as a worker if your body does not feel great. You lose balance and harmony if you experience too much stress, perform a lot of demanding routine and constantly take responsibilities. Take care of yourself. Make sure that your well-being does not suffer.

　　你的家人也不会好受。当你思想无拘无束的时候，你就能有200分的表现。如果你的身体感觉不好，你就是个没用的员工。如果你压力太大，做了太多高难度的事务，承担着源源不断的责任，你就会变得心浮气躁。好好照顾自己，不要让你的健康受到损害。4

　　4. Have a richer life if you want to be a better leader.

　　4. 如果你想成为一个优秀的导者，你需要一个丰富的人生。

　　We all want to excel in our profession. We want to be in charge even at home. We like to be appreciated by the community. Being such a person requires several important qualities. To gain the required qualities you must have a multi-dimensional personality. Besides work you should travel, learn languages, participate in charities and volunteer. The more new activities you practice, the more chances you have to become a better leader. Be a mentor, inspire others and do what you would like others to do.

　　我们都想在职场中胜人一筹，即使是在家我们也想当家作主，我们希望得到他人的欣赏。要成为一个这样的人需要几个重要的品质，而要获得这些品质，你必须要有一个多维的性格。 除了工作，你还应该去旅行、学外语、参加慈善和志愿活动。你参加的新活动越多，你就越有机会成为一个优秀的导者。当一个良师益友，启发别人吧，希望别人去做的事你自己也要去做。5

　　5. Actually, it does not pay off to go on vacation when the season is in full swing.

　　5. 其实，在高峰旅游季度假根本划不来。

　　Prices are usually much higher in this period and you may spend much more money than expected. It is stressful to find out that you cannot book tickets or hotel room for a reasonable price. Hunting for a last minute trip is humiliating, especially when you know you deserve a decent holiday. Spread your vacation days across the year. Isn’t it better to take a few trips a year and visit a new country every time than having one longer trip to one destination?

　　消费在这段时间通常会高很多，你的花销可能会远远超出预算，如果不能订到价格合理的机票或者酒店的话你会很有压力的。在旅行中到处搜刮季末特价是很丢 人的，特别是当你知道自己本应该享受一个舒服假期的时候。把一年的休假分散在不同的时间吧。一年多去几趟短途旅行、每次拜访一个新国家，难道不比只去一趟 耗时较长的旅行、只到一个地方好吗?
