On another trip, we lost both of our passports.
And to make things worse, we hadn’t packed any copies of them before we left.
Why hadn’t we done that?
We probably thought we would never lose them.
But actually, losing passports is one of the most common incidents travelers encounter.
So ever since then, we always pack several copies of our passports in our carry-on.
This allows us to have all the information handy in case we need to apply for a new one at an embassy.
Well, that’s all for today.
We hope this video helps you avoid the problems we experienced and makes your travels as smooth as possible.

面对失败2
失败是人生的常态，那么面对失败，我们会有怎样的感受呢？我们又该怎样看待和处理失败呢？让我们一起来学学英文中的相关表述吧！
常用表达有
- beat yourself up about
- roll with the punches
- Third time is a charm.
Don’t beat yourself up about it. Failure is just a stepping stone to success.
讲解
beat yourself up about something(为某事）过分自责。beat somebody up本身表示揍某人，也可以引申为责怪，也就是在心灵上对某人拳打脚踢。在面对失败的时候，我们可以说 don’t beat yourself up about it 也就是不要过分自责，不要过度陷入自怨自艾的情绪。介词about也可以替换成over
Sometimes you just need to learn to roll with the punches and make the best of what you have.
讲解
roll with the punches 灵活应变克服困难。punch 在这个短语中作名词，表示拳头的击打。挥拳的动作很快，一般很难预测，在这里就代表复杂多变的客观条件，而 roll 表示滚动，可以理解为在地上不停滚动躲避拳头。roll with the punches 就代表要像躲避拳头一样不断调整自己的心态，去面对多变的情况。
He finally managed to pass his exam. As they say, third time’s a charm.
讲解
Third time is a charm. 也许第三次会成功。这个习语特指前两次已经失败了，而第三次或许会成功。charm 本身是魅力；魔力；吸引力的意思，也可以理解为魔法和魔咒。这个习语也可以翻译为”第三次的魔法”，为第三次的行动带来幸运加持。可以用来鼓励失败了两次的人，安慰他们第三次或许会有不一样的结果。
Many industries were able to roll with the punches in a tough economy.
He married twice before and now expects third time will be a charm.
It’s not worth beating yourself up over a failed relationship.
第三次也许会成功
