"你不会因为一个城市的七大奇迹或七十个奇迹而感到高兴,而是因为它对你的某个问题的回答。"
— Italo Calvino
Simplified Meaning:
When you visit a city, what's most exciting isn't necessarily seeing all its famous sites and attractions. Instead, the best part is finding the answers to personal questions you have about the place. Think about going to a city like New York. You might be curious about how people live there, what makes the city so full of energy, or how it's possible to find so many different cultures in one place. As you explore, you talk to locals, try the food, and experience the everyday life of the city. Discovering these answers gives you a deeper, more satisfying connection to the city than just snapping photos of landmarks. It’s the knowledge and personal insights that make your visit truly special and memorable. To apply this idea to your life, whenever you travel or encounter something new, focus on the questions you have and the learning you gain from it, not just the surface-level experiences.
