那年我大二,参加了一个由外系教师组成的旅行团,包车去九寨沟。当时路不好走,我们要坐三天车,才能到达那个号称“人间仙境”的地方。到松潘的时候,离九寨沟只有一百多公里了。老师们决定在县城里多待一天,好尽情地购物;而我一个穷学生,哪有钱购物啊?只得上街闲逛。突然,我看见一个金发碧眼的外国大叔,独自背着个大大的包,在路边一个小摊上买烧饼。我走过去,用蹩脚的英语和他闲聊起来。原来,他来自丹麦,存了两年钱,准备花一年时间走遍中国。 That year, my sophomore, participated in a tour group composed of foreign teachers, chartered to Jiuzhaigou. At that time the road is not good to go, we have to take a three-day car in order to reach that place called “paradise on earth”. To Songpan, only more than 100 kilometers away from Jiuzhaigou. Teachers decided to spend more time in the county town, so enjoy shopping; and I am a poor student, how money shopping? Had to stroll the streets. Suddenly, I saw a blond foreign uncle, carrying a big bag alone, in the street side of a stall to buy sesame seed cake. I walked over and chatted with him in broken English. It turned out that he came from Denmark, saved two years money, ready to spend a year traveled to China.
