Going it alone: tips for successful solo travel

一个人也开心：独自旅行的小贴士

Take yourself out to dinner

带自己出去吃晚餐

The thought of dining alone terrifies some people. The fear even has a name: solomangarephobia. But giving into it and relying on grab-and-go fast food when traveling alone is a crime against cuisine.

一个人吃饭的想法会让某些人感到害怕。这种恐惧甚至还有个名字：solomangarephobia。但是向这种恐惧投降，独自旅行时只吃方便快餐，是忽视美味佳肴的罪行。

"I hadn't realized the depth of flavors I could experience [with] nothing to occupy my mind beyond the plate in front of me and my thoughts," says New York Times food writer Mark Bittman on his website.

“我之前从没意识到当脑海中没有其他事情，只有面前的盘子和自己的想法时，我可以体验到食物浓郁的味道。”纽约时报的美食作家马克·比特曼在他的网站上讲到。

It's also a good way to make new friends -- even if you didn't intend to. "The interesting thing is that you nearly always end up talking to the person next to you, so dining alone can be, ironically, a social experience," says London restaurateur Russell Norman.

这也是个交新朋友的好方法——即使你并没有作此打算。“有趣的是你最终几乎总会和坐在你旁边的人交谈，所以讽刺的是，独自用餐可以是一种社交经历。”来自伦敦的餐馆老板罗素·诺曼讲道。
