五招让你的旅行更有意义
Five Tips to Make Your Travel More Meaningful
◎Pico Iyer
【美 丽 语 录】
Facing the beautiful scenery, the only thing you can do is not to forget when you cannot own it any longer.
面对美景,当你不能再拥有,你唯一能做的,就是告诉自己不要忘记。
Few know more about the art of travel than acclaimed writers Paul Theroux and Pico Iyer, who have a combined six decades of experience chronicling their adventures around the world.
Theroux and Iyer give NPR’s Neal Conan a list of things they do to make travel meaningful and how they go about being a traveler rather than a tourist.
1. Pick a destination that raises more questions than answers.
“When I travel,” Iyer says, “I want to be moved and I want to be transported and I want to be sent back a different person.” Visiting places like Ryoanji in Japan, he says, inspires questions that reverberate long after you leave. “There’s something in it that is always elusive ... that keeps bringing you back, again and again.”
2. Leave the technology at home.
“The more the world moves toward movement and acceleration and data, the more something in us cries out for silence and stillness,” Iyer says. Iyer has visited monasteries for the past 20 years just to escape his phone and laptop, and he says he has found it liberating and even luxurious.
3. Rely on yourself.
Self-sufficiency can be one of the best parts of travel, Theroux says. He says walking, looking for water, and just experiencing the simplicity and primitivism of life can lead you to a destination you end up truly loving.
4. Visit a charismatic place, not a pleasant place.
“I would never call Jerusalem beautiful or comfortable or consoling ,” Iyer says. “But there’s something about it that you can’t turn away from.” Similarly, he says, sitting in a very simple place like a Californian monastery in the midst of a storm takes you back to an essential, almost primal sense of fear or isolation—yet another part of the beauty of the experience.
5. Just go!
“I still feel that ours is the only developed country in the world that’s not full of travelers,” Iyer says. Whenever you take yourself to some magical space abroad, he says, you see people of many nationalities, but ……
没有人比享誉盛名的作家保罗?瑟罗斯和皮克?耶尔对旅行的艺术了解更多,他们把他们60年周游世界的经历和体验记录了下来。
瑟罗斯和耶尔给了国家公共广播电视台的尼尔?柯南一份清单,上面写着让旅行有意义的必做之事,以及他们如何成为一名旅行者而不是观光者。
1. 选一个激起你好奇心的目的地。
“当我在旅行的时候,”耶尔说道,“我想到处行走,我想乘车去不同的地方,我想成为一个不同的人。”在日本参观像龙安寺这样的地方时,他表示,受灵感启迪碰撞出的问题在你离开后也会久久地回荡在脑海中。“存在着一种无形的东西吸引你一次次地回来。”
2. 不要带电子科技产品。
“世界在改变,它向数据化方向发展得越快,我们内心对平静的需求也就越高。”耶尔说道。在过去20年里,耶尔参观了很多修道院,每次都不带手机和笔记本电脑,他说这样会让他感觉自己得到了解放,甚至还有种奢华的惬意感。
3. 依靠自己。
瑟罗斯表明,自给自足是旅行中最好的部分之一。他说,行走、寻找水源和单纯体验简朴原始的生活,可以带你来到生命尽头时真心热爱的地方。
4. 参观具有超凡能力的地方,而不是舒适的地方。
“我从来不认为耶路撒冷漂亮、舒适或惬意,”耶尔说,“但是它具有某种你无法抗拒的神秘力量。”同样,他说在暴风雨之中,坐在像加州修道院这样简朴的地方会带你感受最本真的东西,感受最初的恐惧感和孤独感——这也是美妙体验的另一部分。
5. 说走就走!
“我现在仍然感觉,美国是世界上诞生旅行家不多的发达国家。”耶尔说。他说,当你去国外一些神奇的地方时,你会看到很多其他国家的人们,而美国人却很少……
