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.

我在去瑞士的路上，火车在中间的一站停了下来，列车长的声音通过喇叭传了出来，他先用德语播音，然后是意大利语，最后是法语。我在跑出来之前并没有学过这些语言，所以我根本没搞懂列车长要说什么。人们准备下车，一位老妇看到了当时正一脸迷茫又焦急的我（我得赶一趟去罗马的卧铺，然后从那里坐飞机回去）。

她讲了几句英语，告诉我铁轨上发生了事故。她问我打算去哪里，然后把这些事告诉了工人，然后跑回来告诉我说咱们可能得转3到4趟列车才能到目的地。

她帮我指路令我感到惊喜，因为靠我自己根本没法找到去那儿的路。之后我们跑到另外一座火车站，一路上的聊天增进了彼此的了解。她真的是我遇到的最贴心的女人。

这是一段时长2.5小时的旅程，到达目的地后，我们互相道别。幸好我赶上了去罗马的列车，她告诉我她也有一辆车要赶。我问她要走多远？她告诉我说她要往反方向坐两个小时的车。她跳下车然后陪我走过整个路程仅仅是为了确保我及时赶上那趟去罗马的卧铺。我深受感动并对她说：“你是我遇到过的最好的人”。她温和地笑了笑并拥抱了我，然后让我抓紧时间赶路回家。她就像个天使，我被她的行为感动并和她道别。

我并不是一个重情感的人，但是那晚我止不住地流泪（可恶啊想起这事儿我又忍不住哭了）。一个女人，花了一整天，坐一趟离家几小时远的车，就为了帮助一个迷途的旅人。我游历了那么多国家，看了那么多，我始终觉得，瑞士是世界上最美的国家。
