Bob likes climbing, but he was sad that there wasn't one climbing club in his school at first.
鲍勃喜欢攀岩,但一开始学校里没有攀岩社团,这让他很伤心。
At the beginning of the second year of middle school, his school offered rock climbing lessons in order to encourage students to exercise. He joined at once.
在初中二年级开始的时候,学校为了鼓励学生锻炼身体,开设了攀岩课。他立刻加入了。
He had planned to wear a jacket, a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. But before the first class, he was notified to wear hiking boots and prepare warm clothing, such as a sweater.
他原本打算穿一件夹克、一条牛仔裤和一件 T 恤。但在第一节课前,他被通知说要穿登山鞋,并预备保暖的衣物,比如毛衣。
In class, the coach said, "Rock climbing needs strength, speed, courage and persistence." It interested him.
教练在课上说:“攀岩需要力量、速度、勇气和坚持。”这让他感兴趣。
The students were asked to run 1,000 metres first, and then climb with a rope. When Bob finished running, he almost lost his breath and got bored. He thought it was less interesting than before. The coach noticed that and asked him, "Why do you want to take rock climbing lessons?" "I come for fun, sir." "Is that fun?" he asked. Bob shook his head slowly. The coach then explained patiently, "That's because you stop halfway. You know, beautiful sights are always on the top."
学生们被要求先跑 1000 米,然后再用绳子攀爬。鲍勃跑完后,几乎喘不过气来,而且开始厌烦了。他觉得攀岩没有以前有趣了。教练注意到了这一点,于是问他:“你为什么想来参加攀岩课?”“老师,我是为了好玩。”“那好玩吗?”他问。鲍勃慢慢地摇了摇头。接着,教练耐心地解释说:“那是因为你停在了半路。要知道,美丽的风景总是在顶峰。”
After hearing his words, Bob made up his mind to finish his journey. When he got to the top in the end, he felt really excited. Although feeling sore in his muscles, he was determined to keep going.
听了他的话后,鲍勃下定决心要走完这趟旅程。当他最终到达山顶时,他感到非常兴奋。尽管感觉肌肉酸痛,但他决定继续坚持下去。
Sometimes it's hard to reach the top of the mountain, especially on windy days, but it's a pity to stop halfway, so don't give up.
有时候,登上山顶很难,尤其是在刮风的日子,但是半途而废就太可惜了,所以请不要放弃。
