第1539期:Ancestry travel

Everyone loves a holiday! A little time off for some much-needed R & R can be exactly the thing to rejuvenate and refresh. That said, if you're struggling to think of your next destination then look no further. Don't waste time debating, let your blood decide.每个人都喜欢假期！一些急需的 R & R 的休息时间正是恢复活力和刷新的事情。也就是说，如果您正在努力考虑下一个目的地，那就别无所求。不要浪费时间辩论，让你的血液决定。Everybody has a lineage. Recently, finding out more about our family origins has become popular. By the start of 2019, 26 million people had taken an ancestry DNA test at home, according to a report by MIT Technology Review. They believe by 2021 this number will have risen to 100 million.每个人都有一个血统。最近，更多地了解我们的家庭起源变得流行起来。根据麻省理工科技评论的一份报告，到 2019 年初，已有 2600 万人在家中进行了血统 DNA 测试。他们相信到 2021 年这个数字将上升到 1 亿。This trend has been noticed by opportunistic travel operators. Some are looking to provide a service that both allows people to trace their heritage - by literally going back to their roots - and travel to the destinations where their ancestors originated from.机会主义的旅游经营者已经注意到了这一趋势。有些人正在寻求提供一种服务，既可以让人们追溯他们的遗产——通过字面意义上的追溯到他们的根源——也可以前往他们祖先起源的目的地。Airbnb, an online lodging marketplace, recently partnered with 23andMe, a DNA testing and analysis company, to offer recommendations that encourage travellers to walk in the footsteps of their forefathers. And they aren't the only ones.在线住宿市场 Airbnb 最近与 DNA 测试和分析公司 23andMe 合作，提供建议，鼓励旅行者追随祖先的脚步。他们不是唯一的。The Shelbourne hotel in Dublin has its own 'genealogy butler'. Hellen Kelly offers consultations to help guests trace their Irish line of descent using official records. This allows them to 'fill in the blanks of their Irish ancestry', she told Good Morning America.都柏林的谢尔伯恩酒店拥有自己的“家谱管家”。海伦凯利提供咨询，帮助客人使用官方记录追踪他们的爱尔兰血统。她告诉早安美国，这使他们能够“填补爱尔兰血统的空白”。The Conte Club, a luxury travel company, offers custom itineraries based on DNA tests. 'These experiences are about delving deeper into who we really are,' says Conte Club CEO Rebecca Fielding in an article in the Condé Nast Traveller. 'It might be the most meaningful trip we can take.'豪华旅游公司 Conte Club 提供基于 DNA 测试的定制行程。“这些经历是为了更深入地了解我们的真实身份，”Conte Club 首席执行官 Rebecca Fielding 在 Condé Nast Traveller 的一篇文章中说道。“这可能是我们能进行的最有意义的旅行。”So next time you think of going on vacation, why not take a DNA test first? Once you know how far your family has come, take the time to holiday back.所以下次你想去度假时，为什么不先做个 DNA 测试呢？一旦你知道你的家人已经走了多远，花点时间回去度假。词汇表time off 休息，休假R & R 休息放松（rest and relaxation 的缩写）rejuvenate 使人恢复精神、活力refresh 使人恢复，消除疲劳destination 目的地blood 血液lineage 血统，世系ancestry 祖先travel operator 旅行社heritage 遗产roots 根originate 始于，来自walk in the footsteps 追随……脚步forefathers 祖先genealogy 家谱学，家系trace 查明……源头，追溯line of descent 同一血统的后代fill in the blanks 填补空白itinerary 旅程，旅行计划delve 探索
