<正>1304年2月24日,伊本·白图泰出生于摩洛哥丹吉尔的一个柏柏尔人家庭。20岁左右时,他出发去麦加朝圣,从此,他踏上了一段长达75,000英里的旅途……"I left Tangier, my birthplace, the 13th of June, 1325, with the intention of making the pilgrimage (朝圣之旅) to Mecca...to leave all my friends both female and male, to abandon my home as birds abandon their nests." So begins an old manuscript (手稿) in a library in Paris,The Travels of Ibn Battuta.
