英文阅读：旅游让我们自己变得更好

The best things can come from the worst experiences

最糟糕的经历却让人有最美好的体验

Once, when I was in Sicily（西西里岛）, I was swindled （欺骗）by a stranger for a hundred dollars. At first I was devastated（非常震惊的）. I spent the entire next day thinking about what I should have done to keep my money, and what I would do if I had it. But what I learned from this about humanity（人性）, about the nature of good and evil within people, and how circumstances force them to do bad things showed me a lot about myself and how to cope with misfortune.

有一次我在西西里岛，我在那里被不认识的人骗了一百美元。我起先很震惊，和接下来的一天，我花了一整天思考我应该做什么，我才能不让骗子得逞。但从这件事，我了解了人性，关于人的善与恶，迫使人们做坏事的环境，使我看了很多，必须让我知道如何处理不幸。

Seeing how other people live

观察别人是如何生活的

We’re all part of a human family, but it’s easy to forget that when we move through our daily routine（日常工作）,seeing people who live just like we do. But when you see people going about their daily existence in ways very different from your own, it can open your eyes to how similar you are to them, and how different.

我们都是人类家族的一部分，但在我们的日常生活中很容易忘记这一点，我们的生活和其他人的生活是一样的。但你会看到人们的日常生活方式，与自己的生活方式是不同的，这样可以开阔你的视野，你和他们的生活相似但又不同的地方。

Appreciatingwhat you have

感激自己所拥有的一切

When you see a family eating rice for dinner and sleeping on the street under the open sky, it can help you think about how lucky you are to have a home and warm clothes you can go back to. Chances are if you’re reading this right now, you are probably in the top 20% of the world’s wealthiest people. Don’t forget it!

当你看到一家人正餐吃的是米饭，睡在露天的街道上，想想自己够幸运的了，拥有一个幸福的家，吃得好穿得温。如果你正在读这篇文章，别忘了！你可能会是世界上20%最富有的人之一。
