    Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to
praise or criticize others,as they are similar to or different from it.And unfortunately,
our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted (扭
曲的) one.
    Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages.
It is only by traveling in a country and getting to know its inhabitants and their language
that one can find out what a country and its people are really like.And how different the
knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be from the second-hand information
gathered from other sources!How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to
be such different people from ourselves are not very different at all!
    Differences between peoples do,of course,exist and,one hopes,will always continue
to do so.The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities
behave exactly alike,and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state
of affairs.With the much greater rapidity (快速) and ease of travel,there might seem to
be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned.However this may be,at least
the greater ease of travel today has revealed (展示) to more people than ever before that
the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not:some different kind of animal from
themselves.
