"世界は一冊の本であり旅行しない人はその本の一ページしか読まない"
— Saint Augustine
Simplified Meaning:
When you travel, you learn about new places, people, and cultures, just like when you read different chapters of a book. If you don't travel, it’s like sticking to one page of a book and missing out on the rest of the story. Just imagine if you only ever stayed in your hometown and never went anywhere else; you would only know what your town is like and would miss the chance to see how different and interesting other places can be. Think about a library full of books, each one from a different country. By traveling, you open each book, get a peek inside, and understand how diverse and beautiful the world can be. You might meet people who live differently, eat different foods, speak different languages, and believe in different things. This helps you become more open-minded and knowledgeable. Traveling also teaches you things you can't learn from books or school alone. It's about experiencing life in different ways. For example, you might go to Italy and taste authentic pizza, or visit Japan and see how people celebrate their festivals. These real-life experiences make you grow and understand the world better, giving you a broader view of life, just like reading more pages in a book helps you understand the whole story.
