I was on a train in Switzerland. The train came to a stop, and the conductor‘s voice came over the loudspeaker and delivered a message in German, then Italian, then French. I had made the mistake of not learning any of those languages before my vacation. Everyone started getting off the train, and an old woman saw I was confused and stressed (I had to catch an overnight train to Rome, and I was flying home from there).

She spoke some English, and she told me that an accident had happened on the tracks. She asked me where I was trying to get to, then went and talked to some workers, and came back to tell me that we‘d have to hop trains 3 or 4 times to get there.

I was really glad she was headed the same way, because it would have been hopeless for me to figure it out on my own. So we went from one train station to the next, getting to know each other along the way. She was really the sweetest woman.

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, pticalathely, “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.

我正坐在瑞士的一列火车上。火车突然停了下来，广播站传来了售票员的声音，她播报了一条消息，是用德语，意大利语，最后是法语说的。我很后悔在我度假前，没有去学一下这些语言。所有人都开始陆陆续续地下车了。一位老人注意到我脸上的困惑和紧张感（我必须要坐车连夜赶到罗马，然后从那飞回家）。

她讲了一些英语，然后她告诉我轨道上发生了一起车祸。她问我，我想要去哪，随即走开了和一些工人聊了会，最后她又折了回来告诉我，我们必须要换三四次车才能到那。

庆幸的是，她跟我方向一致，不然要我一个人找对方向是不可能的。所以我们从一个站头走到了另一个站头。一路上我们彼此也熟悉了起来。她真的是一个很和善的老人。

这趟旅途我们花了整整两个半小时。当我们终于到终点的时候，我们却要说再见了。我及时的搭上了去往罗马的火车，她告诉我她也要再搭一班车。我问她，她还要坐多久的车。出人意料的是，她的家原来在反方向，还要在坐两个小时。她从一辆车换到另外一辆车，并且陪了我一路竟然只是为了确保我能到得了罗马。我惊呆了，但是我还是勉强吐出了几个字。“你是我遇见的最美丽的人。”她微微地笑着，抱了抱我，说“你必须要快点了，不然你就不能赶到家了。"她好到这样的不真实。而我也相信，我刚刚在和一个天使告别。

我并不是一个感性的家伙，但是那晚我却哭了（天啊，我现在也还在哭）。一个女人花了整整一个晚上，坐在了一列把她带离家中的火车上，只是为了帮助一个在她国家游玩的旅客。不管我游玩过多少国家，不管我看过多少景点，我依然会说世界上最美的国家就是瑞士。
