喜马拉雅山探险
[第1~2段译文]
试想一下,你正走在喜马拉雅山的一条山路上,感到很疲惫,正在想还要走多远,然后突然你就到达目的地了!
惊人的珠穆朗玛峰出现在地平线上,看起来如此壮观。
几分钟后,你到达营地。
烤在火上的食物散发着诱人的香味,你喝着一杯热茶,轻松地欣赏着日落。
晚饭时,品尝着可口的食物,和其他成员讨论着你们一天的远足中所见以及所做的一切。
如果你在寻找这样的经历,“探险2000”这个机构最适合你。
很多徒步旅行听起来令人兴奋,但是现实常常大不相同。
徒步旅行可能会不舒服,甚至会很危险。
但是在“探险2000”,我们认为我们是理解远足者的需要的。
我们所有的导游都有多年在喜马拉雅山上带领徒步旅行的经验。
他们熟知所有的最佳路线和最好的宿营地。
我们也知道远足很艰难,我们确信远足者需要所有帮助。
所有的登山队都配有厨师、搬运工和向导。
在徒步旅行中,我们的厨师会准备美味可口的食物。
有搬运工为你搬运行李,这就意味着你能尽情享受旅行。
