這是在國外Blog看到的一篇文章,因為很喜歡所以翻成中文,但是我的英文真的很差!所以翻譯不好請大家見諒,並附上原文以及連結。

Don’t date a girl who travels (別跟旅行女孩約會)

別跟那個女孩約會,因為她總是一頭亂髮,而且黃金小麥色的皮膚總不停加深,全身充滿了大小的疤痕,但是每一個疤痕都是個故事,每一個顏色都代表一段歷程。

別跟那個女孩約會,因為她真的非常的難約!

她不愛參加一般朋友的聚會,也不喜歡在電影院打發時間,她的靈魂熱愛冒險,她的世界充滿體驗,她不在乎你的豪華新車或是新買的昂貴手錶,她寧可把時間留給自己,去爬一座高山或是走一趟露營,都比聽你這次股票賺多少錢來的有趣。

別跟那個女孩約會,她買廉價航空機票速度絕對超出你想像!

她不愛參加那些沒興趣活動,更不願意花一筆錢泡在酒吧裡,因為她知道省下這筆錢,她可以走一趟更遠更精采的旅程。

所以,她也沒辦法專心在一個限制自由的工作上,她的人生充滿白日夢的幻想,工作不能讓她放棄了夢想,所以她希望擁有一份屬於自己的工作,或許是設計、寫作、攝影,或許是充滿創意想像的事情,所以別浪費她的時間去抱怨你枯燥的工作內容。

別跟那個女孩約會,她為了夢想已經放棄學位或是工作!

她可能是一個潛水教練或是瑜珈老師,不清楚接下來生活的費用從哪裡來,但是她不在乎,因為她不希望自己的工作像機器人般在運轉,她需要更多采多姿的生活。

別跟那個女孩約會,她選擇了一個不確定的生活!

她沒有一定的計畫,或是永遠的居住地址,她隨著自己的心在世界生活並恣意起舞,她不需要手錶,生命隨著日月星晨在慢跑。當海浪呼喚生命走到終點前,她會無視一切世俗的看法,因為她已經學會了生命中最重要的事情,而且不在乎的別人的眼光。

別跟那個女孩約會,她擁有自己的想法!

她永遠不會試圖說服你的父母或朋友,她會尊重所有人的看法,但也隨時關心全球性問題以及社會新聞的爭論。

她永遠不需要你給他任何幫忙,她知道如何在沒有人幫助下獨立搭帳篷以及釘螺釘。她的廚藝很好,不需要為她準備任何菜單。而且她太獨立的,並不會在意你是否願意跟她一起去旅行。

而且當她抵達目的,可能會忘記注意你,因為她很熱衷活在當下,享受她的旅行。她喜歡跟陌生人說話,她喜歡這個世界任何有趣的事情,她熱愛跟志同道合的人分享她的激情和夢想所以別讓她會覺得你很無聊!

所以,別跟一個愛旅行的女孩約會,直到你可以跟上她的腳步!

如果你愛上了這樣的女孩,別試著改變她,請讓她自己走自己的路。

看完了這篇文章我都笑了,因為這不正是我的寫照嗎?我單身,不寂寞,我不需要約會,因為我已經學會跟自己約會,然後學會在多變美好的風景中,停下來駐留。

也分享給大家。

Don’t date a girl who travels

She’s the one with the messy unkempt hair colored by the sun. Her skin is now far from fair like it once was. Not even sun kissed. It’s burnt with multiple tan lines, wounds and bites here and there. But for every flaw on her skin, she has an interesting story to tell.

Don’t date a girl who travels. She is hard to please. The usual dinner-movie date at the mall will suck the life out of her. Her soul craves for new experiences and adventures. She will be unimpressed with your new car and your expensive watch. She would rather climb a rock or jump out of an airplane than hear you brag about it.

Don’t date a girl who travels because she will bug you to book a flight every time there’s an airline seat sale. She wont party at Republiq. And she will never pay over $100 for Avicii because she knows that one weekend of clubbing is equivalent to one week somewhere far more exciting.

Chances are, she can’t hold a steady job. Or she’s probably daydreaming about quitting. She doesn’t want to keep working her ass off for someone else’s dream. She has her own and is working towards it. She is a freelancer. She makes money from designing, writing, photography or something that requires creativity and imagination. Don’t waste her time complaining about your boring job.

Don’t date a girl who travels. She might have wasted her college degree and switched careers entirely. She is now a dive instructor or a yoga teacher. She’s not sure when the next paycheck is coming. But she doesn’t work like a robot all day, she goes out and takes what life has to offer and challenges you to do the same.

Don’t date a girl who travels for she has chosen a life of uncertainty. She doesn’t have a plan or a permanent address. She goes with the flow and follows her heart. She dances to the beat of her own drum. She doesn’t wear a watch. Her days are ruled by the sun and the moon. When the waves are calling, life stops and she will be oblivious to everything else for a moment. But she has learned that the most important thing in life isn’t surfing.

Don’t date a girl who travels as she tends to speak her mind. She will never try to impress your parents or friends. She knows respect, but isn’t afraid to hold a debate about global issues or social responsibility.

She will never need you. She knows how to pitch a tent and screw her own fins without your help. She cooks well and doesn’t need you to pay for her meals. She is too independent and wont care whether you travel with her or not. She will forget to check in with you when she arrives at her destination. She’s busy living in the present. She talks to strangers. She will meet many interesting, like-minded people from around the world who share her passion and dreams. She will be bored with you.

So never date a girl who travels unless you can keep up with her. And if you unintentionally fall in love with one, don’t you dare keep her. Let her go.
