It was a 2.5 hour journey in total, and when we finally made it to the destination, we got off and said our goodbyes. I had made it just in time to catch my train to Rome, and she told me she had a train to catch, too. I asked her how much farther she had to go, and it turns out her home was 2 hours back the other way. She had jumped from train to train and traveled the whole way just to make sure I made it. I was in shock but I managed to blurt out, pathetically, “you are the nicest person I‘ve ever met“. She smiled gently and hugged me and told me I‘d better hurry off so I make it home. She seemed unreal. I was really convinced I was saying goodbye to an angel.
I‘m not a very emotional dude, but I cried my face off that night (dammit, I‘m doing it now, too). A woman spent her entire day sitting on trains taking her hours away from her home just to help out a confused tourist visiting her country. No matter how many countries I visit or sites I see, I‘ll always say the most beautiful country in the world is Switzerland.
这是一场全程2.5小时的旅行。当我们最终到达目的的时候,我们下了车,并相互说了再见。我刚刚好及时赶上了开往罗马的火车,巧合的是,她告诉我她也有一列火车要赶。我问她你要到多远的地方去,结果是她的家在回去方向2小时路程的地方。她从一辆火车搭乘到另一辆火车,全程旅行就是为了确保我能够赶上火车。我很震惊,不假思索的脱口而出,“你是我遇见过的最好的人”她优雅的笑笑,抱了抱我,告诉我最好快点这样就可以回家了。她看起来是那么的不真实。我真真切切的在怀疑我是在和一个天使告别。
我并不是一个情绪化的人,但那一晚上我泪流满面(混蛋,我现在也在这么做)。一位女士花了一整天的时间搭乘火车远离她的家仅仅是为了帮助一个迷茫的旅者参观她的国家。无论我去过多少个国家或城市,我总是说世界上最美丽的国家是瑞士。
