A British man says it took him 1,426 days to complete his quest of visiting all of the world’s 201 countries without flying.
一个英国男子说他花了1426天来完成他的追求——不坐飞机,走遍世界201个国家。
Graham Hughes, 33, accomplished the feat when he arrived Monday in South Sudan, a country that did not yet exist when he began his quest on Jan. 1, 2009, The Daily Telegraph reported.
《每日电讯报》报道,33岁的格雷厄姆•休斯周一到达南苏丹完成了他的壮举,当他2009年1月开始他的追求时,南苏丹还不存在。
Hughes said he had filled four full passports by the time he visited all 193 United Nations member states, as well as Taiwan, Vatican City, the Palestinian territory, Kosovo, Western Sahara and the four home nations of Britain.
休斯说,他访问了193个联合国所有成员国以及台湾、梵蒂冈城、巴勒斯坦地区、科索沃、西撒哈拉以及4个英国的家乡民族地区之后,他有了4本盖满印章的护照。
Guinness World Records said Hughes’ travels were a record because he did it without flying.
吉尼斯纪录称休斯由于没坐飞机却能周游世界,所以他创造了一项纪录。
“The main feeling today is just one of intense gratitude to every person around the world who helped me get here, by giving me a lift, letting me stay on their couch or pointing me in the right direction,” Hughes said. “There were times, sitting in a bus station in Cambodia at one in the morning, riding some awful truck over bad roads, when I thought, why am I doing this? But there was always a reason to keep going.”
“今天主要的感想是对全世界帮助我来到这里的人的强烈的感谢,那些让我搭车,让我小住或者给我指路的人,”休斯说。“有好几次,一个早上坐在柬埔寨的一个公车站,坐着破车走在糟糕的道路上,那些时候我就在想,我为什么这样做?但是总有一个理由促使我继续前行。”
