80                                                                          Climbing Mountains

 

 

Do you like climbing mountains? My friend Ted¹ does. He has never climbed a dangerous mountain, but he has climbed some quite big and difficult ones. He began to climb rocks when he was a small boy. Ted liked it very much and he did not get very tired. The next year his father took him up some mountains in Scotland², and he was very happy.

Last summer holidays, Ted's uncle invited him to go to Switzerland. The mountains are high there. They went to Switzerland by train and had a very good holiday. They climbed several mountains. At the end of the holiday he said to Ted, "You are still very young, but you already climb well."Ted was very glad.

Now Ted wants to go to China to climb some of the very high peaks⁴ in the Himalayas, but he is still too young and also he hasn's got enough money. Perhaps one day he will become rich, and then he will go to China.

                                    爬 山

  你喜欢爬山吗？我朋友特德喜欢。他从没爬过危险的山，但他曾爬过一些很大很难爬的山。当他还是个小男孩的时候，他就开始攀登岩石了。特德很喜欢这个运动，一点也不感到疲倦。第二年，他父亲带他登上苏格兰的一些山，他非常开心。 

  去年暑假，特德的叔叔邀请他去瑞士。那里的山很高。他们乘火车去了瑞士，过了一个非常愉快的假期。他们爬了几座山。在假期结束时，叔叔对特德说：“你还很年轻，但你已经爬得很好了。”特德听了很高兴。 

  现在，特德想去中国，爬上喜玛拉雅山最高的山峰，但他年纪还太小，而且没有足够的钱。也许有一天他会变得富有，然后他就可以去中国了。
