A travel book is about someone who goes somewhere, travels on the ground, sees something and spends quite a lot of time doing it, and has a hard time, and then comes back and writes about it. It's not about inventing.

  • -- Paul Theroux 保罗·泰鲁

一本旅行书是关于一个人,他去了某个地方,在地面上旅行,看到了一些东西,花了很多时间去做它,经历了一段艰难的时光,然后回来写了一些关于它的东西。这与发明无关。
