A: I always considered studying abroad but never got a chance to do it. Actually, there are plenty of scholarships and money available to people like me, who are looking into it and once you have your passport all set, you could be on your way to a wonderful time of cultural learning.
B：一想到出国留学，大家都会觉得非常棒，充满了冒险，但大家也要将正反面都考虑到。
A: My mother also said that. She would be worried sick knowing I was going to a different country; she would be so happy that I was going to get academic credit and learn about other cultures along the way, but of course she would be thinking of probably every bad thing that could happen.
B：还有一个可能你从来没有想到过的情况，你会像你妈妈担心你一样想念她，特别是当遇到生活中的困难时，比如迷路、现金短缺、错失恐惧症，或者感觉自己格格不入。
A: My friends told me they had serious culture shock after they went abroad. It can be caused by a range of things, both big and small, such as unfamiliar greetings and hand gestures, strange food, difficult language barriers. This unfamiliarity can lead to symptoms such as confusion, anxiety, frustration, loneliness, and homesickness.
B：是的!而且你知道吗?你回国之后，还有可能会遭受逆向文化冲击。当你沉浸在一种新的文化中时，你很快就会适应一种不同的生活方式，同时，家里的每个人都在变。当你回国之后，就像从一个奇怪的梦中醒来，似乎一切都和你记忆中的差不多，但是就是觉得一些细节不太对。
