英文原版对话1000个:1100 Teahouses and Terrain

 　　Todd: So, what's the best thing about hiking this Annapurna Trail? Like can you describe what you see and what you do?

 

　　Jonathan: That Annapurna Himalaya Trek¹ is quite unusually because it's a circular trek. One of very few in the world, so the scenery doesn't repeat. You don't have to pass the same thing twice. You start out from a much lower elevation² and you're going through similar to tropical jungle type of surroundings and as you're slowly ascending³ you get up above the tree-line into the mountains and by the time you get over the Throngala Pass, which is well over 5,000 meters you're in a winter wonderland and surrounded by mountain peaks well over 6,000 meters.

 

　　Todd: That sounds pretty cold and it's almost December. Do you have really warm clothing for this?

 

　　Jonathan: You don't need to bring very warm clothes. When you're trekking⁴ during the day and the sun is out and you're getting a lot of exercise, you certainly don't feel cold. At night time, you're usually inside one of these little lodges⁵, these teahouses where there's probably a fire going and perhaps you might put on some sort of fleece or light sweater that you carry with you to make sure you don't get too cold, and if you feel cold there's always an extra blanket you can get from the teahouse.

 

　　Todd: Well, sounds like a great time.

 

　　Jonathan: You should join.
