为了交新的朋友旅游
这本小作文是从一份报纸的一偏文章翻译的。 我翻译部分的本源就贴在下面。

Pierson 去年在巴塔高尼亚【Patagonia】买了两个纪念品:一条围巾和一本旅游攻略。
九天的运动女人探索旅程后,她也带回来的一个不能装在行李箱的东西 -- 就是跟一位叫Fulop的本地人一个新的友谊。
“我们立马有了友情。她可能为了吃饭打猎,而我就去超市买肉,但是在很多方面中我们是很像的。只是因为住在不同的地方所以有不同的生活习惯”Pierson,一位58岁房地产的开放商说。
自从在巴塔高尼亚跟Fulop一起露营,Pierson 两次从她的家旅游到育空 【Yukon】。两队女人在法国一次团圆为了训练爬山。以后克服了华盛顿州的一座山。在聚会之间她们也经常以短信交流。
Pierson像大部分的旅游者一样本来不是为了交朋友旅游。一个2019念的调查问了1300美国游客对旅游的动力,结果才百分之11的人说交朋友是旅行的理由之一。因为工作,家庭义务和日常生活的忙所以很多成人很难交朋友,从而旅游是一个交朋友的机会。旅游就能离开生活的普通义务发觉新的人脉以及培养跟新朋友的关系。

Donnajean Pierson bought two souvenirs in Patagonia a few years ago: a scarf and a field guide.
She also returned from that trip — a nine-day multisport adventure with Wild Women Expeditions — with something that couldn’t be contained in a suitcase: a new friendship with a Yukon woman named Tunde Fulop.
“We connected right away. She might go out and hunt her meat and I’m probably going to go down to the butcher, but we’re both the same type of human beings — we just have different approaches because of where we live,” said Ms. Pierson, 58, a builder and developer.
Since bunking with Ms. Fulop in an EcoCamp Patagonia geodesic dome, Ms. Pierson has traveled from her home in Maryland to the Yukon — twice. The pair convened in Chamonix, France, to train for a Mount Rainier climb — which they also conquered together. They trade regular texts between visits.
Ms. Pierson didn’t go on vacation chiefly to make friends, and she’s not alone: A 2019 Skift Research survey of 1,300 adults in the United States found that only 11 percent consider the idea of meeting new people a top motivator for planning a trip. But if work commitments, family obligations and the demands of everyday life are among the reasons that it’s hard to make new friends as an adult, sometimes it requires traveling — and leaving behind those demands — to stoke new connections and relationships.
