Travel idioms
В английском языке существует достаточно много идиом, пословиц со словом «travel». Англичане и американцы большие любители поездок, путешествий. Если мы сделаем экскурс в историю, то увидим, что практически полмира было когда-то английскими колониями. А если поедим куда-нибудь отдыхать, то обязательно встретим англичанина или американца. Очевидно, это связано с тем, что когда-то путешествия приносили богатства, а сейчас массу новых впечатлений, эмоций и знакомств, что тоже является богатством.
Давайте изучим английские “travel idioms”.
He travels fastest who travels alone (разг. “путешествует быстрее всех тот, кто путешествует в одиночестве/один”)
Несомненно, англичане знают толк в путешествиях, иначе бы они не любили повторять в обиходе эту идиому. Согласитесь, что не имея никого за плечами, легче всего сорваться с места и уехать куда-нибудь . Эта идиома “he travels fastest who travels alone” может иметь и фигуральное значение. Если у человека нет за спиной тех, о ком ему необходимо заботиться, он может быстрее и легче достигнуть своих целей, т.к. может рисковать и пробовать.
E.g.
You are young, unmarried. You don’t have children. You have so many opportunities! Cheer up! He travels fastest who travels alone!
Ты молода, не замужем. У тебя нет детей. У тебя столько возможностей! Выше нос! Путешествует быстрее всех тот, кто путешествует один!
Travel broadens the mind (разг. “путешествие расширяет разум”)
Согласитесь, что путешествие дело увлекательное и полезное. Отдыхая, можно еще узнать массу нового и интересного. Недаром заядлые путешественники всегда очень интересные собеседники, т.к. обладают широким кругозором.
Когда вы путешествие, вы узнаете много нового о разных людях, о новых местах. Другими словами, “путешествие расширяет кругозор” .
E.g.
This autumn we were in Paris and attended many museums. So I began a great lover of Art. Travel broadens the mind.
Этой осенью мы были в Париже и посетили множество музеев. Так что я стала большой любительницей искусства. Путешествия расширяют кругозор.
Bad news travels fast (разг. «плохие новости путешествуют быстро»)
К сожалению, именно плохие вести распространяются быстрее всего: «Худые вести не лежат на месте», «Добрая слава лежит, а худая бежит», «Дурные вести бегут, а хорошие плетутся».
E.g.
Everyone has heard about your parting. Bad news travels fast.
Все слышали о вашем расставании. Дурные вести не сидят на месте.
Travel light (досл. “путешествовать легко”)
Легче всего путешествовать, когда нет тяжелого багажа, а именно когда «налегке».

Идиомы и пословицы о путешествиях
Сейчас хоть и не пора путешествий и заграничных поездок, но мы уже начинаем задумываться о том, куда отправимся летом во время своих отпусков или каникул.
tourist trap (досл. «ловушка туристов»)
Отправляясь заграницу на популярный курорт, Вы рискуете оказаться в так называемых “tourist traps”, но Вашему благополучию вряд ли что-нибудь угрожает. Ведь речь идет о популярных среди туристов местах отдыха и достопримечательностях.
Например:
I want to spend my holidays somewhere far away from civilization. Popular tourist traps do not attract me at all. (Я хочу провести свои каникулы где-нибудь вдали от цивилизации. Популярные среди туристов места совсем не привлекают меня.)
cover a lot of ground (досл. «покрывать много земли»)
Заядлые английские путешественники любят прихвастнуть тем, как много земли они успели «накрыть». Но подобное «хобби» не должно вызывать у Вас недоумения. Ведь этим выражением англоговорящие любители поездок хотят сказать, что преодолевали большие расстояния в своей жизни и успели побывать в дальних странах.
Например:
We covered a lot of ground before we reached “The Northern Capital” of Russia. (Мы проделали огромное расстояние, прежде чем добрались до «Северной Столицы» России).
travel light (досл. «путешествовать легким»)
Нет, это не особый вид путешествий, перед которыми нужно сбросить несколько килограммов лишнего веса. Такое выражение можно услышать от тех, кто не привык брать с собой в поездку много вещей. По-русски мы бы сказали «путешествовать налегке».
Например:
I prefer traveling light. I don’t want to be anxious about loss of my belongings. (Я предпочитаю путешествовать налегке. Я не хочу беспокоиться о потере своих вещей).
It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive. (досл. «Путешествовать с надеждой лучше, чем приезжать»).
Случалось ли такое, что из всего путешествия вы «привозили» домой только воспоминания о приключениях в пути, а не о самом отдыхе? Это английская пословица говорит о том, что процесс движения к цели подчас приносит большее удовлетворение, чем само исполнение желаний.
Чтобы получить максимум удовольствия от путешествий, человеку необходимо пройти курсы разговорного английского, где он сможет научиться говорить по-английски бегло.
