(1). Modern alpinists try to climb mountains by a route which will give them good sport, and the more difficult it is, the more highly it is regarded.

现代的登山者总想找一条会给他们带来运动乐趣的登山途径,于是,途径越艰险越受人重视。

(2). In the pioneering days, however, this was not the case at all.

可是在开创登山运动的日子里,情况并非如此。

(3). The early climbers were looking for the easiest way to the top because the summit was the prize they sought, especially if it had never been attained before.

早期登山者常常寻找一条最容易到达山顶的途径,因为顶峰--尤其是前人未曾到达过的顶峰,才是他们寻求的目标。

(4). It is true that during their explorations they often faced difficulties and dangers of the most perilous nature, equipped in a manner which would make a modern climber shudder at the thought, but they did not go out of their way to court such excitement.

的确，他们在探险时面临种种不利，艰难险阻，危机四伏，他们的装备也会使现代登山者一想到这点就会不寒而栗，可是他们并不是故意地要追求这种刺激。

(5). They had a single aim, a solitary goal--the top!

他们有一个目的,一个唯一的目标--登上顶峰!

(6). It is hard for us to realize nowadays how difficult it was for the pioneers.

现在我们很难想象登山运动先驱者当时有多大的困难。

(7). Except for one or two places such as Zermatt and Chamonix, which had rapidly become popular, Alpine villages tended to be impoverished settlements cut off from civilization by the high mountains.

除了一二个地方,如已成为旅游胜地的瑞士的泽玛特和法国的夏蒙尼,阿尔卑斯山脉的村庄由于高山峻岭的阻挡而与文明世界隔绝,所以很容易成为贫困的居民区。

(8). Such inns as there were generally dirty and flea-ridden; the food simply local cheese accompanied by bread often twelve months old, all washed down with coarse wine.

那儿的小客栈总是肮脏不堪,跳蚤滋生,吃的东西完全是当地的干酪,配上陈年的面包,只好借助劣质的葡萄酒一股脑儿吞下去。

(9). Often a valley boasted no inn at all, and climbers found shelter wherever they could--sometimes with the local priest (who was usually as poor as his parishioners), sometimes with shepherds or cheese makers.

山谷里常常没有小客栈,登山者只能自找住宿之处,随遇而安,有时和当地牧师为伴(牧师往往和他的教区居民一样穷),有时和牧羊人或者是做干酪的人住在一起。

(10). Invariably the background was the same: dirt and poverty, and very uncomfortable. For men accustomed to eating seven-course dinners and sleeping between fine linen sheets at home, the change to the Alps must have been very hard indeed.

居住的条件总是一个样:肮脏、匮乏、十分不舒适。对那些习惯于吃佳肴美餐、睡牙床锦衾的人来说,为适应阿尔卑斯山脉而改变习惯确是一件非常不容易的事。

[00:09.82]What was the main objective of early mountain climbers?
 [00:15.30]Modern alpinists try to climb mountains by a route which will give them good sport,
 [00:21.93]and the more difficult it is,the more highly it is regarded.
 [00:27.38]In the pioneering days however,this was not the case at all.
 [00:33.65]The early climbers were looking for the easiest way to the top because the summit was the prize they sought,
 [00:41.88]especially if it had never been attained before.
 [00:46.25]It is true that during their explorations they often faced difficulties and dangers of the most perilous nature,
 [00:55.54]equipped in a manner which would make a modern climber shudder at the thought,
 [01:01.19]but they did not go out of their way to court such excitement.
 [01:05.87]They had a single aim,a solitary goal -- the top!
 [01:12.55]It is hard for us to realize nowadays how difficult it was for the pioneers.
 [01:19.21]Except for one or two places such as Zermatt and Chamonix,which had rapidly become popular.
 [01:27.74]Alpine villages tended to be impoverished settlements cut off from civilization by the high mountains.
 [01:36.40]Such inns as there were were generally dirty and flea-ridden;
 [01:41.98]the food simply local cheese accompanied by bread often twelve months old,
 [01:47.86]all washed down with coarse wine.
 [01:51.85]Often a valley boasted no inn at all,and climbers found shelter wherever they could --
 [01:58.38]sometimes with the local priest (who was usually as poor as his parishioners),
 [02:04.89]sometimes with shepherds or cheese-makers.
 [02:08.72]Invariably the background was the same:dirt and poverty,and very uncomfortable.
 [02:17.08]For men accustomed to eating seven-course dinners and sleeping between fine linen sheets at home,
 [02:24.66]the change to the Alps must have been very hard indeed.
