Chapter 9 The Accidental Tourist

-by Bill Bryson

Forgetfulness of the Author

The narrator of the story states that he is not at all good at living in the real world. He wonders at how other people are able to do the things so easily which he is unable to perform. He has ended up being at the wrong place while searching for the washroom at a cinema or forgotten the number of his room several times when staying at a hotel.

कहानी का सूत्रधार कहता है कि वह वास्तविक दुनिया में रहने में बिल्कुल भी अच्छा नहीं है। उसे आश्चर्य होता है कि जो काम वह नहीं कर पाता, उसे दूसरे लोग इतनी आसानी से कैसे कर लेते हैं। वह सिनेमाघर में वॉशरूम ढूंढते समय गलत जगह पहुंच गया या होटल में ठहरने के दौरान कई बार अपने कमरे का नंबर भूल गया।

Incident on a Big Trip with Family

Once the narrator and his family went to England on Easter. At the time of check-in at the airport, he remembered that he was a member of the airlines frequent flyer programme. When he tried to take his membership card out from his bag, he found that the zip of his handbag was jammed. He pulled the zip, harder and harder but it did not open. Finally, it opened and in the process, all the contents (newspaper cuttings, passport, magazines, etc) of the bag got spread everywhere on the floor in a very large area. He also injured his finger badly while opening the zip.

एक बार कथावाचक और उसका परिवार ईस्टर के दिन इंग्लैंड गया। हवाई अड्डे पर चेक-इन के समय, उन्हें याद आया कि वे एयरलाइंस के फ़्रीक्वेंट फ़्लायर कार्यक्रम के सदस्य थे। जब उसने अपने बैग से अपना सदस्यता कार्ड निकालने की कोशिश की तो उसने पाया कि उसके हैंडबैग की जिप जाम हो गई थी। उसने जोर-जोर से जिप खींची लेकिन वह नहीं खुली। अंत में, वह खुल गया और इस प्रक्रिया में बैग की सारी सामग्री (अखबार की कतरनें, पासपोर्ट, पत्रिकाएं आदि) बहुत बड़े क्षेत्र में फर्श पर हर जगह फैल गई। जिप खोलने के दौरान उसकी अंगुली भी बुरी तरह जख्मी हो गई।

Incidents in the Aeroplane

The narrator always had mishappenings while travelling on an aeroplane. Once, he leaned to tie a shoelace and at the same time the passenger sitting ahead of him turned back his chair. Due to this, he got stuck in a miserable position and escaped from it with great difficulty. At another instance, he dropped soft drink twice on a lady sitting beside him. The lady looked at him with a stunned expression.

हवाई जहाज में यात्रा करते समय वर्णनकर्ता के साथ हमेशा दुर्घटनाएँ होती थीं। एक बार तो वे जूते के फीते बांधने के लिए झुके और उसी वक्त उनके आगे बैठे यात्री ने अपनी कुर्सी पीछे कर ली. इससे वह दयनीय स्थिति में फंस गया और बड़ी मुश्किल से वहां से निकला। एक अन्य मौके पर, उसने अपने पास बैठी एक महिला पर दो बार शीतल पेय गिराया। महिला ने चकित भाव से उसकी ओर देखा।

Narrator’s Worst Experience on a Flight

Once, the narrator was writing his thoughts in a notebook on a flight. He was also sucking the other end of his pen from time to time. He started talking to an attractive lady seated on the next seat. When he went to the washroom, he saw that the pen had leaked and his mouth, chin, tongue, teeth and gums had got coloured navy blue.

एक बार, वर्णनकर्ता एक उड़ान में एक नोटबुक में अपने विचार लिख रहा था। वह बीच-बीच में अपनी कलम का दूसरा सिरा भी चूस रहा था। वह बगल की सीट पर बैठी एक आकर्षक महिला से बात करने लगा। जब वह वाशरूम में गया तो उसने देखा कि पेन लीक हो गया था और उसका मुंह, ठुड्डी, जीभ, दांत और मसूड़े नेवी ब्लू रंग के हो गए थे।

Precautions Taken by his Wife

Knowing her husband’s strange habits, the narrator’s wife directs her children to help their father whenever they are travelling together. The narrator also does not eat or drink when travelling alone and sits quietly on his hands to keep them from flying mischievously.

अपने पति की अजीब आदतों को जानकर, कथावाचक की पत्नी अपने बच्चों को निर्देश देती है कि जब भी वे एक साथ यात्रा कर रहे हों तो अपने पिता की मदद करें। कथावाचक भी अकेले यात्रा करते समय कुछ भी नहीं खाता या पीता है और उन्हें शरारती तरीके से उड़ने से रोकने के लिए चुपचाप अपने हाथों पर बैठता है।

Reason for not Gathering Flyer’s Miles

The narrator used to fly around 100,000 miles a year but he hardly gathered over 200 air miles from 23 air lines. This was because he forgot to ask for the air miles or the airline staff did not record his airmiles.

Once while travelling to Australia, he hoped to get a lot of air miles but the clerk told him that he was not entitled. The ticket was in the name of B Bryson and card was having name W Bryson. Thus, he didn’t get his air miles and wasn’t able to fly to Bali first class.

वर्णनकर्ता एक वर्ष में लगभग 100,000 मील उड़ता था लेकिन वह मुश्किल से 23 वायु लाइनों से 200 से अधिक हवाई मील इकट्ठा करता था। ऐसा इसलिए था क्योंकि वह हवाई मील पूछना भूल गया था या एयरलाइन के कर्मचारियों ने उसका हवाई मील रिकॉर्ड नहीं किया था।

एक बार ऑस्ट्रेलिया की यात्रा के दौरान, उन्हें बहुत सारे हवाई मील मिलने की उम्मीद थी लेकिन क्लर्क ने उन्हें बताया कि वह इसके हकदार नहीं हैं। टिकट बी ब्रायसन के नाम पर था और कार्ड पर डब्ल्यू ब्रायसन का नाम था। इस प्रकार, उसे अपना हवाई मील नहीं मिला और वह बाली की प्रथम श्रेणी में उड़ान भरने में सक्षम नहीं था।
