16.One often hears it said that travel broadens the mind.But does this always happen?When an acquaintance of mine returned from France,I asked him how he liked it."The breakfasts were terrible."he said,"No bacon or kippers.I had fried eggs and chips,but it was quiet a business getting them to make them."Obviously travel had not broadened his mind.He had judged it entirely from his own English viewpoints.
All nationalities,in all foreign countries,can be found judging what they see,hear,taste and smell according to their own habits and customs.People who are better educated and who have read a lot about foreign countries tend to adapt and tolerate all easily.That is because their minds have already been broadened before they start travelling.
Physical differences are not so difficult to be adapted to as mental ones.In Indonesia,the left hand is considered unclean.When a foreigner offers or takes something with his left hand,the Indonesian may explain this action as arising from a difference in custom,but the deep prejudice against the use of the left hand will not be so easilydone away with.
There are some travelers who adapt themselves so successfully to foreign customs and habits that they get the severe criticisms of their more stubborn fellow-countrymen.If they are Asians,they are accused of having become"Westernized",and if they are Europeans,people say they have"gone native".
Perhaps the ideal would be if travel could succeed m making people tolerate the habits and customs of others without abandoning their own.The criterion for judging a foreigner could be"Does he try to be polite and considerate to others?"instead of"Is he like me?

分析 人为何要旅游?有人是为了开阔心胸,为了增长见识,为了实现"读万卷书,行万里路"的理想.但也有很多人去旅游似乎只为追逐时尚.他们名为"旅游使人心胸开阔",实 为日后的吹虚积攒谈资.深居城市并受商业气息侵蚀的人容易变得越来越浅薄,偶尔发现 不一样的事物就大惊小怪,进而"排除异己".他们算是"少见多怪"之人.真正有学问有 文化的人一般更具有包容性,他们常常"见怪不怪".这是两种不同的境界.
