Does Travel Broaden the Mind?
Spring coming, many people start to travel. People often hear that travel
broadens the mind: if you stay in your own country the whole time, your ideas
remain narrow. If you travel, you see new customs, eat new foods, do new
things, and come home with a broader mind.
But does this always - or usually happen? My friend who lives in England
and had never been anywhere decided to go over to France for a trip. When he
returned, I asked him how he liked it. “Terrible”, was the answer. “I couldn’t get
a nice cup of tea anywhere. Thank goodness, I’m back”. My friend being angry,
I stopped speaking about breakfast and asked him about dinners and suppers.
“Oh, the dinners were all right”, he said. He found a little restaurant, fish and
chips being cooked quite well there. “Sure, not as good as ours. But the break-
fasts were terrible, I had fried eggs and chips but it was quite a business to get
them. They expected me to eat rolls”. He asking them for marmalade, they
104
brought him strawberry jam. “And you know, they insisted that it was marma-
lade. The trouble is they don’t know English.”
I thought it useless to explain that we borrowed (заимствовали) the word
‘marmalade’ from French, and that it means, in their language, any kind of jam.
So I said ‘But didn’t you eat any of the famous French food?’ “What? Me?”, he
said. “Of course not! Give me good old English food every time! None of these
fancy bits for me!” Obviously travel had not broadened his mind. He went to
France and wanted to live there exactly as if he were in England and judged it
entirely from his own English viewpoint.
This does not, of course, happen only to Englishmen in France. All nationalities,
in all foreign countries, judge what they see, hear, eat and smell according to
their own habits and customs. People who are better educated and who have
read a lot about foreign countries try to be more adaptable and tolerant. If you
want to travel, remember, please, that actual physical contact with things you are
not accustomed to is much more difficult, but very useful.
