(单词翻译:单击)

But a visit to Athens is more than a lesson in ancient history. Modern Athens hums with activity. The city offers every modern convenience. One thing that hasn't changed since ancient times, though, is Greek hospitality. Ancient Greeks believed that a stranger might be a god in disguise. Therefore, they always treated strangers kindly. 全欧洲只有这个地方的人,会邀请一个完全陌生的人到家里喝咖啡或吃晚饭。


单词提示:
Athens n.雅典(希腊首都);hum v. [俗]活跃起来
答案:Nowhere else in Europe will you find people who invite complete strangers to their homes for coffee or dinner.
本句节选自《SPOTLIGHT ON ATHENS》
