1. Exceeding the Maximum Weight Limit行李超重
Be sure to give yourself enough time to pack properly, take a few minutes to work out things you’re actually likely to need – clothes, books, sports kits – and don’t be tempted to throw it all in, ‘just in case’. Finally, before you leave the house make sure you weigh your case so you know it’s not over the limit – a set of bathroom scales is probably the easiest way to do this.
一定给自己足够的时间妥善打包，花几分钟找出你可能真的需要的东西（衣服、书、运动包），为以防万一不要把它们一股脑扔进箱子。在你最终离开家之前，一定要称一下箱子，这样你就会知道它是否超重——用浴室秤简单称下就可以。
2. Making Bad Use of Space最大程度利用空间
Pack any liquids or toiletries in a waterproof container or plastic bag in case of leaks, and cushion by packing softer items around the outside. Have a go at rolling your clothes instead of folding, to lessen creases and create more room so you don’t overfill your case and risk it bursting.
将一切液体或洗漱用品装在防水容器或塑料袋中以防洒漏，并在外部包装较软的物品进行缓冲。尝试将衣物卷起来而不是叠起来以减少折痕，并节约更多空间，这样箱子就不会过满以致破损。
3. Restricted Items违禁物品
Check out the list of restricted or prohibited items for the country you’re travelling to and don’t pack any of these things – unless you want to spend your first few hours in the country with the local customs officials! It’s also worth bearing in mind the restrictions on liquids – 100ml or less unless it’s medicine with supporting documents.
查看您的目的地国家的限制违禁物品清单，不要携带违禁物品——否则你将和当地海关工作人员一起在该国度过几个小时！也请务必记住对液体的限制——不要超过100毫升，除非是带有证明文件的药品。
4. Packing Unnecessary Items带不必要的物品
If you have lots of items with sentimental value that you can’t throw away but can’t afford to take with you, find a cheap storage option instead or leave them with a relative for safe keeping.
如果你有很多有感情的珍贵物品既不能扔掉，也不能承担带走的费用，找一个便宜的方式保存起来，或者交由亲戚代为保管。
5. Being Disorganised on the Day出行当天时间安排不合理
When it comes to the day of your flight make sure you’ve got your head round all the timings.When do you need to be at the airport? Can you check in online in advance and then just baggage drop at the airport? Whatever your estimate, add an extra half hour to allow for possible hold-ups. What you want to avoid is being so late for the plane that you make it but your cases don’t…
出发当天，确保头脑中所有出行时间点清晰明了：需要什么时间到机场？可以提前在线办理登机手续然后把行李在机场托运吗？不论预计时间多久，记得比计划多预留半小时，防止可能的延误。你要避免到机场太晚，时间足够你登机但不够你的行李箱托运。
All set? Make sure you’ve covered all the points above, then start packing smart – and good luck with your study abroad adventure!
万事俱备？确保你注意了以上几点问题，打包行李可以游刃有余——祝你的留学探险之旅好运！
