For those who are planning their first trip abroad, Alice Driver offers some fundamental tips.

Para. 1 Language. If you are going to travel in a country but you don’t speak its official language, start learning before you leave and make every effort to practice your skills at your destination. If you know even a few words of the local language, you can become a traveler rather than a tourist. You can talk to people in towns and villages and learn about life from their perspective. At least trying to speak their language will gain you their respect.

Para. 1 If 引导真实条件句，用于陈述语气，假设的情况可能发生 典型例题 The volleyball match will be put off if it ___.　 A. will rain　 B. rains　 C. rained　 D. is rained 答案B。真实条件句主句为将来时，从句用一般现在时。

vocabulary and structure be going to +不定式，表示将来。 a. 主语的意图，即将做某事。What are you going to do tomorrow? b. 计划，安排要发生的事。The play is going to be produced next month。 c. 有迹象要发生的事 Look at the dark clouds, there is going to be a storm e.g. 我打算明天和朋友去野炊。      I_____ _______ _________ have a picnic with my friends. 

vocabulary and structure official language：a language that is given a special legal status in a particular country, state, or other territory.官方语言 start learning： start doing sth. start to do sth. make every effort to do sth. 尽力/努力做某事 e.g. Make an effort to arrive promptly.尽力早些赶到

vocabulary and structure a few:一点点，用于修饰可数名词，肯定用法 e.g. There are a few apples on the table. 桌子上有几个苹果。 比较： a little：一点点，用于修饰不可数名词，肯定用法。e.g. There is a little fish in the pool. 池塘里有几条鱼。 little：用于不可数名词，否定用法。 few：用于可数名词，否定用法 典型试题： A lot of people have tried out, but______have succeeded. A. a few B. few C. a little D. little B

…trying to speak their language will gain you their respect. at least: 至少 e.g. Everyone is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day Wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit 一个人每天至少有五分钟是个大傻瓜,明智者在于不超过这个时限 …trying to speak their language will gain you their respect. 句子结构：动名词做主语 vs 不定式做主语 不定式做主语常表示具体的某一动作;表示泛指或一般的抽象的概念时,多用动名词,如: __ is a good form of exercise for both young and old. A. The walk B. Walking C. To walk D. Walk B

翻译 语言：如果你不会说所去国家的官方语言，那在出发前就要开始学习，到了目的地要努力操练语言技能。如果你会的只是当地语言中的几个词，也能够成为旅行者，而非游客。你可以和城镇、村庄中的人谈话，从他们的角度了解生活。尝试说当地语言，这至少能为你赢得他们的尊重。

Para. 2 Planning. If you are on a budget, it is particularly important to be prepared. Know where you want to go, and buy plane, train, and bus tickets in advance. The more you plan, the cheaper your trip will be. However, scheduling every hour of your time invites disaster. So be flexible. A fixed itinerary does not leave room for spontaneous explorations.

vocabulary and structure on a budget：节约开支；节省费用 budget：预算 e.g. a balanced budget 收支平衡的预算. government budget 政府预算 wage and salary budget 工资预算 a big hole in the budget deficit 预算赤字里的一个巨大缺口 plan of how to consume on a budget 关于如何节省费用消费的计划

翻译 计划：如果你想节省费用，提前准备就尤为重要。了解你的目的地，然后提前购买机票、火车票和公共汽车票。你计划得越周详，你的行程就越划算。但是，按小时制定计划会带来麻烦，所以要有弹性。如果行程确定不变，就没有了自发探索的空间。

Para. 3 Packing. Take next to nothing. Unless you are going to dinner with heads of state, the less you have the happier you will be. The most important items to take are comfortable underwear and shoes. Buying clothing and other essentials in-country is an important part of the experience. Of course, if there are certain things you cannot live without, take them with you.

vocabulary and structure next to nothing 尽量少带东西 next to: almost 几乎 e.g. next to impossible 几乎不可能 next to还可以表示 紧邻的： the car next to hers挨着她的车； The bank I work for is next to the mall behind my building. 我工作的那家银行就在我家楼后的购物中心旁边。 在顺序或程度上接下去的 e . g. Next to skiing, she likes hiking. 除了滑雪，她最喜欢徒步旅行

vocabulary and structure heads of state：州长 head： 头脑, 领袖 the less you have the happier you will be the less… the happier… The most important items … 形容词最高级： the + 最高级 + 比较范围，形容词最高级前通常必须用定冠词 the。 e.g. The Sahara is the biggest desert in the world. 撒哈拉沙漠是世界上最大的沙漠。 例题：Who’s ________ student in your class?  A. strong   B. stronger  C. strongest  D. the strongest

vocabulary and structure comfortable: adj. 舒适的 This is a very comfortable house to live in. 这是一栋住起来很舒服的房子。 essential： n.必需品 the essentials of the good life The car provides room for bicycles and other weekend essentials. 这辆车有足够的空间放自行车和其他周末活动的必需品。

翻译 打包：尽量少带行李。除非你要和州长一起进餐，不然还是东西越少越开心。需携带的最重要物品是舒适的内衣和鞋子。在旅行地购买衣物和其他必需品也是旅行经验中的重要部分。如果有些东西是你不可或缺的，那么就带上。

Food. Go to local cafes or restaurants and pick out the strangest thing on the menu. Try cow’s stomach and cactus soup. You may not like the taste at first, but by trying new foods you gain a better understanding and appreciation of the culture and discover what a narrow world your taste buds inhabit. In many countries you can purchase local cheese, bread, and wine for very little money. Buying a few staple foods and eating as you travel is a good way to save money, but nothing can compare to eating a good meal in a beautiful foreign land—especially when it’s done with friends from the country.

vocabulary and structure local cafes：当地的咖啡店 local: adj. 当地的，本土的 e.g. a local custom 当地的风俗， local government 地方政府，local outbreaks of flu 流感的局部爆发 pick out：挑选，分辨出 picked out the best piece of silk 挑出最好的一匹丝绸 picked out their cousins from the crowd 从人群中认出他们的堂兄弟

at first =at the beginning,表示“当初,起初(但后来……)”,与后来发生的事相对照 例句： At first I didn‘t want to go, but I soon changed my mind. 开始我不想去，但是很快就改变了主意。 比较： first of all(或first)表示“首先”;“最重要的”,说明顺序,是时间上或一系列行动的开始,后面往往接next, then等。例如: First of all, open the windows, then turn off the gas.首先打开窗户，然后关掉煤气。 I‘ll have to finish my homework first.我首先要完成作业。

by doing sth. 通过做某事,by表示方式 长句的分析： But by trying new foods you gain a better understanding and appreciation of the culture and discover what a narrow world your taste buds inhabit. by doing sth. 通过做某事,by表示方式 长句的分析： 本句中有两个谓语：gain和discover gain的宾语是understanding and appreciation discover的宾语是what从句 宾语从句例句：In one‘s own home one can do what one likes.　在自己家里可以随心所欲。 taste bud:味蕾 inhabit: 居住于, 存在于, 占据 e.g. Thoughts inhabit his mind.各种思想占据了他的心灵

vocabulary and structure especially adv.特别地 例句： Infants are especially vulnerable to this disease. 婴幼儿尤其易患这种病。 … when it’s done with… it在这里代指eating a good meal in a beautiful foreign land 句法：被动语态 （助动词be加上及物动词的过去分词 ），凡是不愿或不必说出主动者时，使用被动语态。此外，在强调或突出动作对象时，常使用被动语态。 例句：All our shoes are made by hand. 我厂出品的鞋都是手工制造的。

翻译 食品：去当地的小餐馆或饭店，选择菜单上最奇特的食物，尝试一下牛肚、仙人掌汤或番荔枝。你可能开始不喜欢那种味道，通过尝试新的食物你能够进一步了解并欣赏该文化，并且发现你的味蕾所拥有的是多么狭小的世界。在很多国家，花极少的钱就能买到当地的奶酪、面包和酒。买些主食在旅途中享用是个省钱的好办法，但是，什么都不能同在美丽的异国他乡享受一餐美食相媲美——尤其是与当地的朋友共同享用之时。

Para. 5 Cultural Immersion. A passion about immersing yourself in a different culture and seeing the world from a new point of view will take you further than a huge budget or the best guidebook. 长句子

A passion about immersing yourself in a different culture and seeing the world from a new point of view will take you further than a huge budget or the best guidebook. 长句子基本结构：主语A passion about… +谓语will take+宾语you passion：激情 immerse oneself in… 让自己沉浸于 point of view：观点 see the world from ~从全新的观点看世界 take you further than… 带给你的比……更多

翻译 文化渗透（洗礼）：与大笔预算或是最好的旅行指南相比，沉浸于某种不同的文化氛围并以崭新视角看世界的热情更能让你获益良多。
