The silent village 沉默的村莊

In this much-travelled world, there are still thousands of places which are inaccessible to tourists. We always assume that villagers in remote places are friendly and hospitable. But people who are cut off not only from foreign tourists, but even from their own countrymen can be hostile to travellers. Visits to really remote villages are seldom enjoyable -- as my wife and I discovered during a tour through the Balkans.

在這個(gè)旅游頻繁的世界上，仍有成千上萬個(gè)游人足跡未至的地方。人們總是以為偏僻的地方的村民們熱情好客。但是，那些不但與外國旅游者隔絕，而且與本國同胞隔絕的人們有可能對(duì)游客抱有敵意。到真正偏僻的村莊去旅游并不是一件愉快的事情。我與妻子在一次周游巴爾干半島時(shí)對(duì)此深有體會(huì)。
