開心旅行：輕裝出行的20個好處
We hate heavy luggage, and we know hate is a very strong word. Now we’re giving you 20 benefits of packing light!
我們痛恨沉重的行李，而且我們知道“痛恨”是個很重的詞。現在就告訴你輕裝出行的20個好處。
1. You never have to worry at check-in.
辦理登機手續時不必擔心。
Spend that last bit of foreign currency! You won’t be paying any unexpected overages here.
花掉錢包裏最後一張外幣吧！你不用交任何意想不到的額外費用。
2. You are in complete control of your belongings.
你能完全掌握你的行李。
So when that random nice guy offers to help you with your luggage, and you immediately have visions of them running off with said luggage, you don’t have to lie while saying, “Oh, I’m fine, thanks.”
所以當某個好男孩兒主動提出要幫你拿行李、你又馬上聯想到他會把你那些多的拿不過來的行李拿跑的時候，你就不用撒謊說：“噢，我自己能行，謝謝。”
3. Your back doesn’t hurt.
後背不疼。
Because you don’t need any of that when you travel.
因爲你旅行時不需要拿那些東西了。
4. Your feet don’t hurt.
腳不疼。
That’s the last thing you want when you travel!
這是旅行時最討厭的事！
5. It’s easier to pick out outfits since you have fewer choices.
帶的衣服少了，出門時搭配衣服更容易了。
Seriously, there is no need to waste time on clothes when you should be out experiencing a new place.
說真的，你應該出去參觀新景點，沒必要把時間浪費在挑衣服上。
6. It’s easier to keep tabs on your belongings since you have fewer to manage.
行李少了，看管起來更容易。
You know exactly how much of what you actually packed.
你準確地知道行李箱裏裝了多少東西。
7. You can often keep your luggage with you on trains and buses and planes.
在火車上、汽車上、飛機上你能經常把行李帶在身邊。
Instead of stowing in a separate location, or checking altogether. You really have no control over the security of your belongings if you don’t have them.
不用把行李單獨放在別處，或者總要徹底檢查。如果行李不在身邊你真的不能確保行李的安全。
8. You can weave through foot traffic at busy areas with greater ease.
在繁華地區你能輕鬆穿梭在人流中。
There’s nothing like making your way through a crowded train station with giant luggage in tow.
這絕對和你拖着大行李箱擠過擁擠的火車站不是一個感覺。
9. You’re better able to lock up everything in hostel lockers.
你能更好地把所有東西都鎖在酒店櫃子裏。
A lot of hostels provide lockers, but many aren’t big enough for big luggage, meaning it needs to stay out in the open.
很多酒店提供帶鎖的櫃子，但很多櫃子都裝不下大大的行李，這就意味着需要把行李放在外面了。
10. You don’t take out innocent bystanders with your ginormous backpack.
你那巨大的揹包不會傷害到旁邊無辜的人。
Have you ever turned around quickly, forgetting about the 80L pack on your back? Small children have been injured across the globe because of this issue.
你是不是曾經突然轉身，卻忘了後面還揹着80L的大揹包？世界各地都有小孩子因爲這個受傷過。
11. You don’t take up excess room on packed public transport.
在擁擠的公共交通工具上你不會額外佔太大的地方。
And you also won’t receive the glares of many passengers wanting to sit in your luggage’s seat.
也不會有許多乘客因爲想坐在你行李佔的那個座位上而瞪你了。[/cn
12. You can walk to your hostel or hotel from the station without dying on the journey.
你可以從車站走到旅社或酒店，而不會累得要死。
Cut back on taxis and get some exercise in the process.
這個過程中少坐出租車，算是鍛鍊了。
13. You don’t have to wait for your luggage at the baggage carousel.
你不用在行李傳送帶那兒等着。
It will take ages when you don’t have ages to wait. Stress, stress, stress!
越沒時間等的時候越覺着等待時間長。急！急！急！
14. You don’t have to worry that your luggage makes it to your destination.
你不用擔心行李是否及時送到地方了。
Because you have it with you!
因爲你自己帶着行李呢！
15. You don’t have to worry about luggage handlers playing catch with your precious belongings.
你不用擔心行李員把你的貴重物品扔來扔去。
You may have painstakingly wrapped any slightly breakable item in your suitcase, but that won’t matter when the bag gets treated like a football in transit.
你可能煞費苦心地包好易碎物品放在了行李箱裏，但是這都不重要了，因爲行李在運輸過程中就像球一樣被扔來扔去。
16. You save money.
省錢。
No excess baggage fees! No checked baggage fees! No extra cost for tipping bellhops at hotels! Share your taxi with another person instead of your extra luggage！
不用交行李超重費了！不用交行李託運費了！不用給酒店行李員額外的小費了！出租車上不用再放額外的行李，能和別人一起坐車了！
17. Luggage searches and scans are less dramatic and less time-consuming.

酒店電梯少不是問題。
You can easily carry your luggage up without breaking a sweat.

行李輕了意味着你乘坐的飛機載重就輕了，燃油就少了。
Packing light is better for the environment!
