台中菁英英文補習班｜A traveler should never say！在國外旅遊時別說這些話！－TOEIC,TOEFL,IELTS,全民英檢,SAT,菁英英日語-台中分校

每個國家有不同的生活文化，到別的國家旅遊時

了解禮俗和注意你的禮貌是非常重要的事

列出了以下身為一個好的觀光客千萬別說出口的話

這只會造成負面的評價喔

Don’t you speak English?

Sure, many destinations around the world are filled with locals who speak a bit of English, but the expectation that everyone in another country would speak English gives travelers a bad rap(看法；評價). Respect that you’re in another place with another culture – that means the people who live there may have their own native tongue, too. Learn to say a few basics (such as “Do you speak English?”) in the local language before expecting the locals to cater(滿足；迎合) to you.

雖然英文在世界上算是最通用的語言

不過不要理所當然地認為每個人都會講英文

建議大家到別的國家旅遊時，可以事前做個功課，學幾句當地的語言

相信當地的人一定也會給予你熱情的回應

That food looks disgusting.

Octopus tentacles(章魚觸角), intestines(腸) and fertilized duck eggs(鴨仔蛋) may not be on your hometown diner’s menu, but that doesn’t mean you need to insult(侮辱) the cuisine of your host city. What’s weird to you is a delicacy(美食) to others, so show some class(風度) and keep the gagging(作嘔) noises to yourself.

每個國家都有不同的道地美食

有些在我們自己的國家是根本看不到的

不過你無法接受的食物，對別人來說可能是美味佳餚

所以就算遇到不喜歡的食物，記得還是要表現禮貌喔

Jokes about how a place’s name sounds.

Just leave the bad jokes at home. Please and thank you.

千萬別隨便開這種玩笑啊

This place stinks. There are too many tourists.

The truth can be hard to swallow(吞嚥), but the fact remains that you are one of these tourists, too. If you choose to visit some of the most famous attractions in a destination, don’t be surprised when you find there are crowds of other tourists there.

你也是觀光客的其中之一，所以別抱怨啦

References to your money or valuables

This is just about being a smart traveler. Don’t comment on how much money you’re carrying or what electronics you have stashed(存放) in your dorm bunk. And if you do, don’t be surprised when you find those items have been taken by day’s end.

錢財不露白！！！

This place was so much better 10 years ago.

While this may or may not be true, it doesn’t make you sound well traveled – it makes you sound pretentious(自以為是的). Focus on what you can enjoy today and not how much greener you think the grass was 10 years ago.

不管是不是真的，說出這種話可能會讓人覺得你很自以為是

我們還是好好的享受現在，享受當下吧

Are we there yet?

First of all, if you have to ask, the chances are pretty good that you are not, in fact, there yet. Second, this phrase means you aren’t sitting back and enjoying the journey, an important part of the travel experience. So sit back, enjoy the ride and know that getting to your destination can be just as fun as the destination itself.

別老是問”到了沒”！

旅行的美好不只在於目的地，過程也要好好體驗好好享受
