Slovakia

A trek to Slovakia's Tatra mountain peaks presents tough challenges for Kevin Rushby and family.

III.
Day three was an eight-hour tramp on the Tatranská Magistrála route, which gives fabulous views of the peaks above, all dramatically draped in torn curtains of cloud. The last few miles were a steady climb back up to 2,000 metres, then a precipitous drop down to Popradske Pleso. Every hut, we were learning, has its own character, and this one, busy with school groups, was noisy and impersonal. We had other things to worry about: the weather was deteriorating and next day was supposed to be the big one: the ascent of Rysy.

At 6.30am we were up and eating breakfast – except Sophie, who was a bag of nerves. “There won't be any chains will there? I don't like the steep stuff with chains.”

Maddy, however, the non-walker, was finding her power, striding ahead when we set out, singing cheerfully to herself to the tune of Big Rock Candy Mountain: “In the Big Rock Tatra Mountains, the trails are made of rocks, and you can bust an ankle, and bleed right through your socks.”

Maddy on top of Rysy, at 2,499m

Rysy is one of the most popular big peaks in the area – it's on the border with Poland and attracts hikers from both sides – but like all the summits it's prone to extreme weather changes and high winds. There is a small hut with the promise of hot coffee 250 metres below the summit, a great motivating force. Just before it, however, there is one nasty section with chains and iron-hoop footholds. In sunshine this would not trouble most fit individuals, but we were in the clouds and buffeted by cold winds. A group of chamoiss kittered away from us, making it all look rather easy. We went slowly and reached the hut safely. With its massive tiled stove and friendly staff it would make a great overnight stop for a dawn ascent to magnificent panoramas, but for us the weather did not relent. The last climb was tricky, a search for the waymarks in dense cloud. Suddenly another hiker appeared. “The top is just there,” he shouted, and within a minute we had made it.

By 7pm that evening we were back in Poprad, watching Rysy soar out of the clouds, impossibly distant and unattainable. We had a real sense of achievement and next morning rewarded ourselves with a trip to Aquacity, a geothermal fun park. Maddy swam, but my knees insisted on a prolonged soak in the hot pool.

YOYO說句
1. Day three was an eight-hour tramp on the Tatranská Magistrála route, which gives fabulous views of the peaks above, all dramatically draped in torn curtains of cloud. The last few miles were a steady climb back up to 2,000 metres, then a precipitous drop down to PopradskePleso.

Kevin 行云流水的文筆再次 play down 了第三天艱辛的旅程（8h tramp --> a few miles of climb --> a precipitous drop）。路線的描述當(dāng)然是大家借鑒的好素材，而其中的詞匯，如 steady, precipitous, climb (up), drop (down) 在勾勒出險(xiǎn)峻群山的同時(shí)，也幫助我們溫習(xí)了小作文中的寫作詞匯。

最后，還請(qǐng)大家體會(huì)一下比喻的用法：“…the peaks above, all dramatically draped in torn curtains of cloud”——云如簾的輕柔，峰破出的鋒利，全都躍然紙上。

2. There is a small hut with the promise of hot coffee 250 metres below the summit, a great motivating force. Just before it, however, there is one nasty section with chains and iron-hoop footholds. In sunshine this would not trouble most fit individuals, but we were in the clouds and buffeted by cold winds. A group of chamoiss kittered away from us, making it all look rather easy.

讓我們輕松一下，看看作者幽默而極具畫面感的描述。一段路途中，人類恨不能用上各種神器全副武裝，卻最終只能滿臉黑線無限惆悵地看著身邊的羚羊不費(fèi)吹灰之力地輕盈躍過。

3. By 7pm that evening we were back in Poprad, watching Rysy soar out of the clouds, impossibly distant and unattainable. We had a real sense of achievement and next morning rewarded ourselves with a trip to Aquacity, a geothermal fun park. Maddy swam, but my knees insisted on a prolonged soak in the hot pool.

如何漂亮地收尾一段行程的描述？總結(jié)過去 + 展望未來。其中，總結(jié)過去 = 回頭看看走過的艱難旅途 (watching Rysy soar out of the clouds, impossibly distant and unattainable) + 直抒胸臆表揚(yáng)一下自己 (We had a real sense of achievement)；

而展望未來 = 預(yù)報(bào)路線 (Aquacity, a geothermal fun park) + 預(yù)報(bào)節(jié)目 (swimming, spa)。

小伙伴們可能覺得，看了那么多風(fēng)景，怎么圖片中從沒出現(xiàn)過當(dāng)?shù)厝四�？因此，小編在最后給大家個(gè)額外福利--真正的斯洛伐克帥哥，如假包換↓↓
