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, 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.

我坐在瑞士的火车上。列车到站了，广播里传来列车员的声音，先后用德语、意大利语、法语播报着。 而旅行前我并没有学过这些语言，这简直太失策了。人们开始陆续下车，一个老妇人看出了我的迷茫与慌张。（我还要赶一趟夜班车去罗马，因为我要从那飞回家）

她用英语告诉我铁轨出了事故，问我要去哪。又走去跟工作人员说了几句，然后回来告诉我说我们恐怕得倒三四次车才能到那。

我很高兴她能跟我同路，要知道指望我自己去解决这事简直是没有希望的。然后我们就从一个车站坐到下一个车站，一路上聊着彼此。她真是一个非常非常善良的女人。

这趟旅程总共花费两个半小时，当到达终点站时，我们下车互相道别。我也刚好赶上了开往罗马的列车，她告诉我她也要赶车。我问她还要坐多远，她告诉我她得往回坐两个小时到家。她一路陪我倒车只是为了确保我能安全抵达。我惊呆了，心疼的说：您是我见过的最善良的人。她温柔的笑了，拥抱着我说快走吧，别耽误了车。她是那样的虚幻，我非常确信的是我是在跟一个天使道别。

我不是个多愁伤感的人，但是那一夜我泪流满面（天啊，写到这泪水又止不住了）。一个女子整整一天都坐在驶离家乡的列车上只是为了帮助一个困惑的游客能安全回家。不管日后我去过多少国家，见过多少风景，我会永远铭记，世界上最美的国家是瑞士。
