train station

to exclaim, "Oh my God, you're the TikTok traveling grannies!" Ms. Hamby, 81, and Dr. Hazelip, 82, have inspired people

all over the globe

with their project "Around the World in 80 Days: At 81 and Still on the Run," named in

homage

和你最好的朋友环游世界永远不会太迟

20多年前,埃莉诺·哈姆比和桑德拉·哈兹利普博士相识时,他们是最好的朋友。她们从未想过有一天,这段友谊会出现在新闻节目中,成为“周六夜现场”中的段子,或者在东京火车站让人们停下脚步尖叫:“哦天啊,你们是TikTok的‘旅行老奶奶’!” 81岁的哈姆比女士和82岁的哈兹利普博士通过她们“80天环游世界,81岁仍不止步”项目激励了全世界的人,而这个项目的名字是为了向儒勒·凡尔纳的19世纪冒险小说致敬。 来自纽约时报(The New York Times)
