登喜瑪拉雅山(Climbing in the Himalayas)

登喜瑪拉雅山(Climbing in the Himalayas)

Climbing in the Himalayas    Last summer my friends and I went climbing in the HimaLayas. We followed an unhurried routine. Everyday, we would get up at 5:30 a. m. , have a cup of tea and set off after 6. Our kitchen staff would go ahead to choose a suitable place for breakfast. Arriving at some pleasant stream after two or three hours, we would make a long stop. While the cook was making the fire and preparing our breakfast, some of us would swim and rest, some would read and write, others would watch birds or catch butterflies and insects. We would reach camp in the early afternoon, so we would have plenty of time to settle in, write diaries and reports for newspapers, and discuss future plans.    Our climbs, as well as the leisure hours in camp, helped to form firm friendship. Through comparing our very different backgrounds and interests and though discussing out experiences we soon came to appreciate one another.    At the same time, we also made friends with our native guides. An arrangement which seemed to give mutual pleasure in our Himalayan travel was that each man was cared for by a faithful follower. This person would bring him his tea in the morning, lay out his sleeping bag at night, help to carry his personal belongings and encourage him all the way whenever we faced difficulties and danger.[點評]    這篇記敘文敘述的是過去某一段時間里發(fā)生的事情，即去年夏天登喜瑪拉雅山的事情。登這座山非一時所能完成之事。他們必須安排每天登一段，每天的日程安排幾乎相同。文章中不斷出現(xiàn)would一詞，表示過去一段時間里總要重復的動作，用得非常恰當、準確，不可認為是一個詞的過多重復使用。讀者可模仿寫一篇游記類的文章。[參考譯文]登喜瑪拉雅山    去年夏天，我和一幫朋友去登喜瑪拉雅山。我們日程安排得不慌不忙。每天早上五點半起床，喝上一杯茶，六點以后出發(fā)。炊事人員會先去選一塊合適的地方準備早飯。兩三個小時后，我們來到一條宜人的小溪旁，呆上好長一段時間。廚師生火做早飯的時候，有些人去游泳休息，有些人看書寫作，還有些人觀察小鳥或者去捕捉蝴蝶和昆蟲。下午，很早我們就安營扎寨，這樣就有足夠的時間安頓下來，寫寫日記，給報紙寫報導，還可以討論以后的計劃安排。    我們在登山過程中，以及在營地共同渡過的閑暇時光中，建立起牢固的友誼。通過相互談論差異很大的文化背景和愛好興趣，并交流一些自己的經驗，我們很快就相互喜歡上了。    同時，我們和當?shù)叵驅б步簧狭伺笥选Ｔ谙铂斃派降穆眯兄?，似乎使雙方都快樂的一個安排就是每個人由一個忠實的當?shù)厝穗S從照顧。這個人早上給他端來茶，晚上給他鋪好睡袋，幫他拿些隨身用品，并且一路上在遇到困難和險情時，給他鼓勵和勇氣
