研究意义

忙碌碌的生活不仅是忙碌也有不少迷茫。从小我就知道上个好小学是为了上个好中学，上个好中学是为了上个好大学，上个好大学是为了找个好工作。按部就班循规蹈矩，这是小时候的我一直记在心里的人生路线。可是，人生其实还有很多很多的选择，每种选择都是一个精彩的人生，循规蹈矩并不是不好，只是慢慢会觉得迷茫。记得大一刚来厦门的时候总是觉得一切都是那么的新奇。鼓浪屿上吃特产品味不同风味的美食；环岛路上骑单车感受来自大海的风，观看沿途的海景；

园博苑里观百花齐放的瑰丽；杏林阁上看夕阳西下细细体味夕阳无限好只是近黄昏的感慨！旅行的意义并不在于目的地，而在于沿途中我们美好的心情！一个人，一条路，心随景动，从起点到尽头点，也许快乐丶也许索然无味。在旅途中或许可以遇见不一样的自己。人生最美好的旅行就是在一个陌生的地域遇见久违的感动。旅行可以给自己一段自由漂泊的时间洗涤心灵，感受名胜古迹的余韵，沿途风景的美好！

2.1 文献全文（3篇)

Christmas in Ethiopia: it comes but twice a year Before dawn, our guide Sefiwe was waiting for our little group to gather. In the darkness, we joined the flocks of white-robed pilgrims and made our way towards the rock-hewn church of Bet Maryam (House of Mary).

It was very early morning on 7 January: Christmas Day for the Ethiopian Orthodox church. We were in Lalibela, the town in the northern highlands that Ethiopian Christians consider their Jerusalem.

A world heritage site, the Churches of Lalibela –13 in all –were carved out of rock in the 12th century after King Lalibela had a vision –quite a common occurrence in Ethiopian history. They are cut vertically downwards, so when we stood outside St Mary’s, the candles held by the milling worshippers illuminated a sheer facing cliff eight metres high.

All around us pilgrims were chanting. Just before 7am, in the day’s first light, a procession of 400 priests, including the patriarch of the

Ethiopian Orthodox church in his magnificent hat, progressed to the

cliff-top above us. They stood in their white turbans, holding coloured shawls, shaking sistrums (a sort of musical rattle), swaying in unison and chanting to the sounds of slow drums and horns. And the congregation burst out ululating and clapping for joy.

“They represent the heavenly host,”explained Sefiwe, “the priests down here are the shepherds.”

It was a far cry from our usual Christmas in Oxfordshire –and a first: we had never had a double Christmas. First we flew to Zanzibar and had a beachside celebration on 25 December. Then, on Boxing Day, we arrived in Addis Ababa, with our two sons and their partners, and also our nieces, who had pricked up their ears at the first mention of our trip and joined in, bringing our number to nine.

Ethiopia was somewhere we had always wanted to go, and we found a fantastic way to do it when we read (in a Guardian Green Travel supplement) about Tesfa Tours, a “community tourism”company that takes groups trekking in the highlands, staying in villages as guests of rural communities.

Tours usually combine a visit to several attractions –Bahir Dar on Lake Tana (the source of the Blue Nile), Gondar (a former capital

founded in the 17th century) and Lalibela –with a major trek. Longer trips take in the ancient city of Axum and treks in the less-explored area

of Tigray.

After visiting Lake Tana’s spectacular monasteries and the palaces of Gondar, we drove for five hours into the Wollo Highlands to start our trek at Werkhaye Mariam.

There we were greeted by Belay, our guide and interpreter for the trek (our hosts spoke the local Amharic language). Our luggage was put on five donkeys and we began four extraordinary days as our cavalcade made its way through farmland and woodland, and along the edge of an escarpment with views that reminded me of the Grand Canyon.

We ate lunch in a wide tukul –a wattle-and-daub round house with pointed rush roof, like the rondavels of east Africa.

Lunch –every day –was traditional Ethiopian fare, which meant injera –an unappealing-looking pancake made from teff, a seed unique to the Horn of Africa, which is fermented then cooked to look like a dirty grey flannel. On it are laid deliciously spicy vegetables which you eat with your right hand, wrapping the food in the injera. Despite its looks, we all developed a taste for it –it is high in iron and Ethiopians swear by its health-giving properties.

By the time we reached the settlement of Mequat Mariam at dusk, we had walked 15km from Werkhaye Mariam. We settled into our three large tukul bedrooms and watched the sunset. Through our guide, the cook explained that she had been trained in Lalibela to prepare food appropriate to western tastes. And certainly our evening meals –eaten in a communal tukul –were delicious.

Our first host told us that he and his fellow farmers had been cautious about hosting tourists. But it had worked out well. During the wet planting season they would be too busy working their fields but, in the dry season, they had the time.

The wildlife was thrilling. We saw rock lizards and rodent-like hyraxes; across the fields, gelada baboons would suddenly come into view; above the valley, two Augur buzzards had a spirited tiff and then huge bearded vultures would sail by.

But the thing that will remain with me above all else was the courtesy and generosity of our hosts. Ethiopians are without doubt some of the most beautiful people in the world. They are proud of their country. They have lived through horrifying wars –we learned so much from

our guides.

In Ethiopia, almost everything is a surprise. There is a different calendar; it is one of only two countries in Africa not to have been colonised (though the Italians under Mussolini occupied it from

1935-1941); and its Christian religion –which came via the Levant and was established in the fourth century AD –bears strong links to Judaism, which had got there first. And never have I been in a place where there are two such strongly held, parallel views of history: what we know happened and what Ethiopians believe happened –what writer and scholar Karen Armstrong calls logos and mythos –co-exist. And the mythos is more fun.

Ethiopians believe their rulers were descended from Menelik, child of the union between King Solomon and The Queen of Sheba. Hence Haile Selassie, their last emperor, deposed and later (most believe) killed by the Communist Derg in 1975, was the lion of Judah and is still revered by many.

Religion is all-pervasive. Mary is particularly loved –“Mariam”appears in many place names. The seven archangels feature prominently and Saint George is the national patron saint, usually portrayed slaying a dragon –though in one 20th-century version he is seeing off an Italian

general. Monastery and church frescos depict many unfamiliar local saints.

And so our walk progressed. We were woken daily by a cacophony of cocks crowing deep in the valley, followed by the gentle, rhythmic thud of a lady grinding freshly roasted coffee with a pestle –Ethiopia is said to be the original home of coffee. That was the signal to get up, make a dash for the one eco-toilet and then watch the spellbinding sunrise across the valley.

A good breakfast of omelettes and toast was each day washed down with thick coffee, and then we’d be off for another 20km amble, at an altitude of between 2,800 and 3,000 metres. More adventurous trekkers can walk at 4,000 metres and reach the peak of Abuna Yosef, one of Ethiopia’s highest mountains.

On our final day we walked to the road, to be picked up by Jeeps and driven to Lalibela. There we stayed four nights until Ethiopian Christmas morning. During that period, thousands of pilgrims –priests, monks, nuns, peasants –converged on Lalibela, setting up camps in sites specially set aside for them.

This tradition goes back 1,000 years and feels little changed. For the whole of Christmas Eve there were services in the churches and spontaneous singing and chanting in the streets. It was wondrous to watch. After the dawn service on 7 January, the pilgrims began their return home.

And so did we, feeling moved and privileged to have been part of a tradition which is at the heart of this extraordinary country.

Along the father's footprint for their honeymoon Before going to New York on their honeymoon with her husband, I in the home of the drawer, see a yellow edge diary, diary was written by my father before marriage, date from 1929 to 1929. I holding diary, slowly sit down, turn the pages turn, handwriting shallow light above, the smell of the years. Father always like to travel, diary records his travel time, place, and room to lodge in. Diary also recorded his trip to New York, so I had an idea - played New York along his footprints.

We took the diary to New York, roadmap, went all the way to Mr Lin Yin avenue, Jackson heights, the Empire State Building, Lincoln Center and Broadway. When we walk in the famous avenue in Manhattan Yin Lin, I think, father might like we feel the passion and the culture of the city.

Stay in New York last night, we want to find a place to eat. Father is a gourmet, so, in my diary, I it is not difficult to find him on diet. One night in 1931, he works in a restaurant called "babbitt", enjoy a wonderful dinner. Father took two pages to describe the dinner. Fortunately, after 70 years, we still found the restaurant from the city in the yellow pages.

Gorgeous, babbitt restaurant reception personnel trained. "I'm sorry, Sir," our host a waiter said to my husband, "the hotels are full."

"So, can we arrange to outdoor dining place?" I said, with father idiomatic tone in his voice. Father mentioned in his diary, there are outdoor dining in this restaurant.

"Yes, please follow me." The waiter took us through a corridor, came to a yard. Here are a few empty table, all around there are statues, flower beds and fountains.

The waiter set the table for us. "We have three people." I said to him. "Good." The waiter replied, "when you wait for another person, what can I do for you?"

"No, he's already been there, he waited for more than 70 years, some can't wait." I said with a smile.

The waiter a face of confusion. Husband told his father that diary, said: "in fact, this is the reason why we come here, we must drink to him. Oh, by the way, can you give us a bottle of champagne?" But, the waiter had disappeared.

When we are incomprehension, nearby and a sweet voice: "good evening." This is a woman of her gorgeous dress. She continued: "my name is Sophie. Alba has just told me to the two

special guests tonight, he is worried about their processes is not good."

I took out my father's diary. "We've come here along the father's footsteps." I explained, "he described his dinner here, eight dishes), total was $2.25. Would you like to see this passage?"

She solemnly from my hand to take the diary and treated like a holy. She saw this passage, and then shouted: "crocodile pear salad, oh, I finally think of this name, it is our special food here, however, whose name is I made a mistake. This dish is my father's original."

"When have dinner here, so to speak, my father is your father this hotel?" I asked with great interest.

"Yes. My father at the age of 16 holding the gold dream came to the United States from Italy, has accumulated a sum of money to buy the land and cover the restaurant. But a few years later, he died..." Sophie said to here, her voice a little SOB, she wiped her eyes, raised his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry."

I put his hand on her hand: "tonight, let's miss two fathers."

"Ok." Her spirit does it one brace up, face to smile, "now."

She got up and called for the waiter told us a few words, then the memory of his father's dinner started. With my father on the

desk that year's eight dishes, plus a bottle of champagne, the band played slow gentle tune for us. In the beautiful melody, I suddenly have a very wonderful feeling: here every plot of deja vu. Have never met the man, in the future, because of love, to become familiar. Perhaps, this is life wonderful.

2.2.3 文献3（题目）：To travel with sadness

I think I was a long time didn't go to travel. In fact, I want to a person to be a backpacker, is simply to travel, just so you very happy.

I don't think you will understand my mood, I think is really so, we're really sometimes is familiar strangers.

Well, then, choose a sunny weekend, let me to travel with sadness.

Sometimes I also can't understand, the meaning of a person to travel, like, clearly love you very much, only is I love you so simple words could not say exports.

If I love you, I can't allow yourself to live alone without your message, because I don't know how to live. If I do not love you, please tell me I was wrong, in fact this is not true. Sometimes think there is no other love a person I heart to breathe. So I want to quiet stay for a while, no direction no malicious, fall in love with you, choose go traveling with sadness.

I want to go to many places to travel, want to go to sai kung, the city lived in peace, actually like a person go out for a walk, because so that I can have a sense of security. I don't disturb others, others also don't noisy I, I think my life will be very quiet. Quiet and beautiful. Busy time can I go out noisy, quiet when I can sit at my window and see the scenery.

I said I just want a simple ordinary life.

How long a person go out for a walk, in the school depressive mood more miss sunshine outside, sometimes like to go outside the village idle idle for a walk, I will think of hours stay in the countryside feeling, in fact just miss those innocent life. Stuffed with headphones is very comfortable to bask in the sun, despite December's lanzhou is very cold, only a day in the clothes to keep warm, only in such a lazy afternoon in the sun will feel very warm, actually nest in the dormitory is the most depressed, after all those people in the dormitory is not really care about my people around us, the dorm in addition to the computer game is filled with, more is to talk about all kinds of private life, I thought I was listening to the uncomfortable, so I will hide a person out quiet.

I can be a person walk around freely, accustomed to such free. Never think of that they will be lonely, because did not dare to think, fear will open the floodgates. So where is the sad, in fact just once in a while. Sad sad will eventually get sick in the dormitory, go out for a walk maybe your heart will be comfortable.

Those you don't know a thing, as you don't know actually I were running toward heaven, that you don't know, like you don't know why I love you. Just I admit that I love you.

With you is like a journey, there are bitter sweet, every time a cruel to leave you, only to find myself how, how much heart finally understand that they will not give up. I just wanted to know my desperate love is worth. Maybe the past I have already cannot leave you.

This day won't be too long, such thoughts are offset each day with a hug, because when I travel in the mind is constantly miss you, but no relationship because these are belong to the things you don't know.

Our relationship, the relationship is the most simple, sometimes I feel down and out, sometimes would rather we never fall in love, sometimes want to die early in the night, quiet, always feel I am so decadent, decadent so how do I and you always go on.

No one believe that our relationship is simply, but we don't really simple. I always think I'm find you in the laughter, as decisive take you to find out. I always thought that I will always keep in your side, but always feel that sometimes you have to go, do you want to go, I don't know, I don't know that you will come back.

I don't think you will leave me, as I will just go to travel, I will come back again. But thought, if a man went to the paradise.

We are going to running toward heaven, what you said.

一、目的:别让急躁的心情打搅了好好的事情，有时候冷静

下来很多事情是可以好好谈可以挽救的，别让暴躁的心情毁了一件原本可以挽救的好事。自己出去走一走安静一下或许是给自己也是给对方一个机会。别让冲动毁了你。

二、表征手段：作者以叙述了自己带着悲伤去旅游感受沿途

风景洗涤心灵让自己冷静下来的。在沿途反省自己，想事情的多是明白自己的处境；听听自己的心是怎么说的。

三、主要结论：人们在冲动的时候容易做错事，容易把简单

的事情复杂化。面对冲动是时候我们应该冷静下来再谈话，那时候脑子就不会乱就不会乱来，不会做一些无法挽回的错事。自己旅游带着悲伤去旅游把自己委屈一下或许就会有不一样的感受，又不一样的决定。

2.3 亮点说明

2.3.1 亮点摘抄：I can be a person walk around freely, accustomed to such free. Never think of that they will be lonely, because did not dare to think, fear will open the floodgates. So where is the sad, in fact just once in a while. Sad sad will eventually get sick in the dormitory, go out for a walk maybe your heart will be comfortable.带着忧伤的旅行一个人静静地体会忧伤静静地旅行着，静看世事百态。现在的人们不说大喜大悲但总是有那么一点淡淡的悲伤，如周杰伦的歌唱出淡淡的悲伤。带着悲伤体味旅行

In the beautiful melody, I suddenly have a very wonderful feeling: here every plot of deja vu. Have never seen a person, in the future, because of love, to become familiar. Maybe, this is the good life！在美丽的旋律,我突然有一个非常奇妙的感觉:在这里的每一个情节似曾相识。从未见过的人,在未来,因为爱,变得熟悉起来。也许,这是美好的生活，在陌生的地方收货莫名的感受。

Life is like a journey, don't need to care about the destination, care about, is the scenery along the way, and the mood.人生就像一场旅行，不必在乎目的地，在乎的，是沿途的风景，以及看风景的心情。

2.3.2 综合评价：我选择的三篇文章关于不同的旅行不一样的目的。。第一篇，主要是在一个地方呆久了去别的地方走走感受异域风情，看看同样的节日在不一样的地域会绽放出怎么样的风采，在异域可以收获怎么样的感动。旅行不外乎风景，感受异域的同一个节日欣赏异域的不同风景收获异域的感动。有人说旅行就是字自己呆久的地方去去别人呆久的地方这就是旅行，或许说的对也许也不对。旅行是为了自己而去的。第二篇沿着父亲的日记跟丈夫去旅行，可以说是为了完成父亲的心愿，也可以说是为了见识父亲所去过的地方有什么风采。美食家父亲写在日记里的美食又是怎么样的味道。有时候带着目的去旅行也是一种不一样的收获，如作者收获了一份与自己相同的相遇。陌生地域的感动，真的是不一样的。第三篇带着悲伤去旅行，人生百态不能说总是一帆风顺总有一些不顺心的事情。在失意的时候我们会变得冲动别让冲动毁了事情。来一场带着悲伤的旅行让自己冷静下来做事。别再因为冲动坏了事。带着悲伤旅行，独自看树叶飘落；看着夕阳西下；看着海潮起落静静体味自然，回归自然。冷静下来做事会有意想不到的效果。
