Elif Oymak I have Germany in my childhood memories
Answered Apr 27
Elif Oymak我童年记忆里的德国
回答于4月27日
I have visited Germany back in 2005 when I was 12. I was participating in an EU project and staying with a host family. When I learnt that they were living in a village I was expecting something like this
2005年时我曾经访问过德国，当时我12岁。我当时参加了一个欧盟的项目，需要寄宿在一个当地家庭。当我知道这个家庭住在村子里时我脑海中浮现出这样的景象：
Mainly because this is how an average village looks like in my country.
Instead I have come across this
主要是因为在我的国家村子就是这个样子的。然而我看到的村庄却是这样的：
I was quite shocked honestly. Not only because the perfectly designed infrastructure but also how developed it was.
The moment I learnt there was a railway system (which can easily be considered high-speed for my standards) for travelling around; I realized sadlythis German village is more developed than some cities in my country.
The regular village image in my mind completely crumbled when I saw expensive 2-door sports cars such as Audi BMW in ‘the village’.
Overall that experience made it perfectly clear for me why some countries are called ‘developed’ while others aren’t.

说实话我非常震惊，不仅仅因为村庄基础设施的完美，还因为这个村庄是如此的发达。
当我知道这里有一个用来旅行的铁路系统（按我的标准被认定为高速铁路）时，我意识到了非常令人沮丧的事实：这座德国村庄比我的国家的许多城市都要发达。
当我看到这座“村庄”里昂贵的宝马奥迪两门跑车时，我对村庄的原始概念被彻底打破了。
总的来说，这次经历让我完全的了解到为什么有的国家被称为发达国家，而有些国家则不是。

I am originally from India living in Germany since 2014.
我最初来自印度，从2014年开始在德国生活。
During school holidays I planned a day with my 8 years old son in English Garden Munich. It’s a large 4 sq km area with sprawling lawns lakes and beer gardens to spend a nice summer day.
在学校放假期间，我与我8岁的儿子计划去慕尼黑英国花园一日游。这个花园是4平方公里大的一片区域，有杂乱延伸的草坪、湖泊和露天啤酒摊，我们要渡过一个美好的夏日。
Initially it appeared like a regular garden with some people relaxing by the lake some couples talking on the benches some families having a picnic and some just lying under the sun reading a book.
首先，它似乎像一个普通的花园，有人在湖边放松筋骨，几对夫妇在长椅上谈笑风生，家庭组合则在张罗野餐，有人干脆躺在太阳下阅读书刊。
While walking across a certain area I suddenly started noticing many people who were completely nude.
当跨越某个区域时，我突然开始注意到很多人是完全裸体的。
Now as a software sales professional I have traveled extensively across the globe.
现在，作为一个软件销售专业人士，我已经走遍了全球。

我搬到欧洲前，已经在美国及澳大利亚生活和工作了多年。
I have no issues with nudity and have come across it earlier at beaches in America.
我对裸体不存在争议，早期在美国海滩偶尔见过。
But the first few seconds of this experience may still count as a “surprise” because nothing had prepared me to expect nudity -
但是在开始的头几秒中，仍然可以算作“大吃一惊”，理由是预料中的裸体出现在我完全没有准备的情况下。

If I asked in my best German if they spoke English about 50% of the time people laughed at me or asked me back in English if I spoke English. Snappy.
Cost of living eating and travelling in Germany was surprisingly cheap particularly away from touristy places.
如果我用我最好的德文询问他们是否会说英语，几乎有一半的情况被他们笑话，或者用英语反问我我是否会说英语。爽快。生活成本，吃和交通费用令人惊讶的低，尤其是远离旅游景点的地方。Most people only do 130–160kmph on the Autobahns.
