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.
