1 My travel journal

我的旅行日志 ☆

I like the saying that the world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.

I am fond of keeping journals in my journeys. Now, I am sitting reading the journal of last spring when I was a new graduate and was scheduled to climb one unknown mountain. I prefer to do explorations rather than just enjoy views. Ever since my childhood, I have cycled to many places by organizing a small team. Though I have many shortcomings, generally I am reliable. My attitude towards travelling is that never give in once I have determined on it.

Before setting out, I bought myself an insurance. I had designed the route in detail and taken down the forecast. My mother was quite stubborn that I should stay home. I knew she cared about my safety, but I managed to persuade her to change her mind finally.

Packing the parcels, a wool coat, a pillow and a kettle to boil food like potatoes, I set out as usual with some necessary fare.

Upon reaching the destination, I found a valley beneath the mountain at an altitude of 3,000 metres. Out of it flew a river. It was a good idea to find out its source. I paced along the bank and suddenly a cave came into sight. I bent forward to enter it. It was too dark, so I lit the candle. The flame is bright enough to allow me to see that it was a temple. At midnight, I made up my mind to go out.

Now, I still cannot help thinking how the statues inside were transported there since the narrow entrance was the biggest disadvantage. Maybe it deserves another visit.

“世界是一本书，那些从未旅行过的人只是读了这本书的某一页。”我很喜爱这种说法。

在旅行中，我喜爱写日志。如今，我坐在那儿阅览着上一年春天我记下的日志，那时我刚刚结业，方案去攀爬一座不出名的山。比较于单纯赏识风光，我更喜爱探险。从孩童年代起，我就组织了一小队兄弟，一同骑车去了许多当地。尽管我也有许多缺陷，但大体上看我仍是很值得信赖的。我关于旅行的情绪是：一旦抉择了要启航，就绝不要扔掉。

在启航之前，我给自个买了一份稳妥，我还拟定了具体的旅行线路并记下了气候预告。我母亲顽固地认为我大约待在家里，我晓得她是忧虑我的平安。但我究竟仍是说服她，让她改动了主意。

我将一件羊毛外套、一个枕头和一个能用来煮马铃薯等食物的小汽锅打包装入行囊，带上必需的钱，我便和往常相同启航了。

抵达意图地时，我发如今海拔3000米的山脚下有一个峡谷，一条河流潺潺流出。探寻这条河的源头想想是个不错的主见，所以我便沿着河滨溯流而上。俄然，一个山洞呈如今我眼前。我折腰走进了山洞，里边黑魆魆的。我点上一根蜡烛。烛光很亮，我能看到里边是一座古刹。时至午夜，我抉择走出山洞。

如今，我仍然会不由自登时想到山洞里的塑像是怎么运进入的，因为山洞的洞口是如此狭隘。可以下回我还大约再去那里看看。

3 An adventure

一次奇遇 ☆

I came across the phrase, spirit of adventure, which was said by an unknown author in a passage of a magazine. I couldn’t help telling you my story.

Tom, a businessman who was always finding fault with anyone but me, and I went to Florida on business. Florida was Tom’s birthplace, but he was brought up in the North. As for me, I was a stranger in the city. However, no sooner had we arrived than we got into trouble. First, I was surprised at what greeted us: abundant food on the shelves of many shops, such as dessert, pineapple and steak; genuine paintings on the wall, including one which people lay on the bay; barbers who bowed to us politely. Suddenly I noticed a lady was strange beside me. Then I had my wallet stolen in the crowd, in which was an envelope with my passport as well as a large amount of money. It accounted for my worry. After we consulted the Chinese embassy, we went to the police station to seek help. The policeman promised to help us. We could do nothing but wait. Then the trip went ahead as planned. Things changed before I began to lose my patience.

At nightfall, we had just stepped out of a restaurant when we heard a scream ahead. We looked around and saw two waiters pushing a woman in rags, not permitting her to step in. The woman fell down on the pavement. It was unbelievable that they treated her in such a rude manner. Seeing the scene, I stopped. On the contrary, Tom stepped up and stared at the woman, which raised doubts in my mind. It occurred to me that the woman was wandering around us before the wallet was stolen. The woman looked at us and was so nervous that she took a chance to escape, but in vain. Soon, the police came and found that the woman did steal my wallet. We spotted the thief by accident. It was not a novel, but our adventure.

我偶尔在一本杂志里看到一篇文章，这位不出名的作者说到一个词——冒险精力，使我忍不住想给你讲一个我亲自阅历的故事。

有一次，我和汤姆去佛罗里达出差。他是一个爱找过失的商人，尽管他从未找过我的费事。佛罗里达是汤姆的出世地，不过他在北方长大。而对我来说，佛罗里达则是个陌生的当地。咱们一到那里就堕入费事之中。首要，我一到那儿，眼前的表象就让我惊诧不已——许多商铺货架上放满了甜点、菠萝和牛排一类的丰厚食物；墙上的挂满绘画真迹，其间包括一幅我们躺在港湾中的画作；理发师礼貌地向咱们鞠实践礼。我俄然发现站在我周围的一个女人有些新鲜。后来在拥堵的人群中，我的钱包被偷了，那里边有一只信封，装着我的护照和一大笔钱。这让我非常忧虑。在向我国大使馆进行了征询之后，咱们又去了差人局寻求协助。差人承诺会协助咱们。然后，咱们所能做的只需等候了。这之后，咱们的旅行照方案进行。就在我即将失掉耐性之前，作业有了起色。

傍晚时分，咱们刚走出餐厅就听到前方一声尖叫。环顾邻近，咱们看到两个仆人正在推搡一个衣冠楚楚的女人，不许她进入这家餐厅。那个妇人颠仆在人行道上。仆人对待她如此粗鲁的行为令人难以相信。看到此景，我停下了脚步。可是，汤姆却走上前，盯着那女人看，这使我非常疑问。我俄然想起来就在我的钱包被偷之前，就是她曾在咱们身边徜徉。那女人看到咱们，显出严峻的神色，找机缘要出逃，但没有成功。很快，差人赶到了，而且查出她的确偷了我的钱包。小偷竟然被咱们无意间遇见了。这不是一篇小说，而是咱们的真实奇遇。

4 My album and my memories

我的相册、我的回想 ☆

I opened the album. Memories flashed back like waves on the sea.

Several years ago, as a candidate, I was appointed as the assistant of a volcanologist and sent to work in a remote town surrounded by mountains. The height of the mountains varied from 2,000 metres above sea level to 3,000 metres. It was an absolutely fantastic sight. But a volcano alongside the mountains aroused the local people’s anxiety. My task was to collect and evaluate the information of the volcano with scientific equipment for a database. I valued the precious chance.

Below the volcano lay a fountain which aroused the greatest appreciation, especially after thunderstorm, when a rainbow would turn up above the fountain. Many novelists drew inspiration from it. Diverse species of plants are an absolute guarantee of health and life.

In actual fact, life proved hard. The hurricane was frequent, blowing the ash in the air. A small accident would lead to everything being burnt to the ground.

My another task is to educate the local people to deal with potential eruption of the volcano. I often let them look at the diagram showing a volcano erupting. After that, I would hand out questionnaires to them to know their feelings.

One day I, together with several young people, wore white protective suits, a helmet and boots and made my way to the mountain top.

Gradually, some of us trembled with cold sweat running down their back. I also felt very uncomfortable. I feared that I would become unconscious. Seeing their anxious expression, I knew they were in a fog. I told them not to panic.

Now, bathing in the warm sunshine beside a bungalow, I glanced through the album and the document again. I really miss that experience.

我翻开相册，回想如海上的波涛一般涌来。

几年前，作为提名人，我被指定为一名火山学家的辅佐，被派到一个悠远的、群山环绕的小镇作业。山的高度从海拔2000米到3000米不等。那里风光真的很壮丽。可是群山周围的一座火山令当地居民非常担忧。我的使命就是用一些科学设备去搜集、评价这座火山的有关信息，并树立一个数据库。我很珍惜这个来之不易的机缘。

在这座火山之下有一潭泉流，泉流非常秀丽，特别是在暴风雨之后，一道彩虹随即呈如今泉流之上。许多小说家由此获得了写作构思。品种繁复的植物是安康和生命的保证。

实际上，生命很难保证。飓风常常袭来，把灰烬带到空中。一个很小的意外就能把悉数完全焚毁。

我的另一项使命是教当地居民如何应对可以发生的火山迸发。我常常让他们调查闪现火山迸发的图表。在那之后，我会发放查询询卷去晓得他们的感触。

一天我和其他几个年青人去爬山，我穿戴白色的防护服，戴着头盔，穿戴靴子。

逐渐地，咱们中的一些人初步颤栗，不和盗汗直流。我也觉得很不舒畅，我惧怕自个会失掉感觉。看到他们焦虑的表情，我晓得他们很利诱，告诉他们不要惧怕。

如今，在小屋旁，沐浴在温暖阳光下，我又一次翻看这底细册和有关文件。我真的很怀念那段阅历。
