摘要:考研英語(yǔ)作為一門(mén)考研公共課,雖然大家都學(xué)了英語(yǔ)十幾年,卻仍經(jīng)常有總分過(guò)線掛在英語(yǔ)上的情況,因此英語(yǔ)復(fù)習(xí)不單單是單詞、做題。閱讀作為考研英語(yǔ)的大頭,僅僅做考研真題或許沒(méi)法滿(mǎn)足你的閱讀量,因此幫幫之后會(huì)不定時(shí)推出一篇英文美文,這些文章都與考研英語(yǔ)閱讀同源,多讀必有好處。
Everest: Three more die amid overcrowding near summit
珠穆朗瑪峰:在峰頂附近,又有三人因過(guò)度擁擠致死
Three more climbers have died on Mount Everest, taking the death toll to seven in a week - more than the total for the whole of last year. The three died of exhaustion while descending on Thursday.
3名珠峰攀登者的死亡使得一周之內(nèi)登山死亡人數(shù)升至7人,已經(jīng)超過(guò)了去年一整年的死亡人數(shù)。這三人是在周二下山的途中因力竭而死。
It comes amid traffic jams near the summit as record numbers make the ascent, despite calls to limit the number of climbing permits.
盡管有聲音要求限制允許登山的人數(shù),但是今年登山人數(shù)還是達(dá)到了新高,以致在靠近峰頂?shù)南@锱_(tái)階處出現(xiàn)了人多擁堵的情況。
Nepal has issued 381 permits at $11,000 (€8,600) each for the spring climbing season at the world’s highest peak.
今春的攀登季,尼泊爾政府已經(jīng)簽發(fā)了381例登山許可,每人收取11000美元的費(fèi)用(約合8600歐元)。

Conditions this year have also been worse than usual, with high winds leaving a large number of climbers a narrow time frame to reach the summit. Five people are known to have died on Everest and one in Lhotse in the spring season last year.
今年的天氣情況也比往年更為惡劣,強(qiáng)風(fēng)天氣使得大量的登山者必須在有限的時(shí)間內(nèi)完成登頂。就大家所知道的就已有5人喪生,還有一位是去年春季在洛子峰那邊遭遇了不幸。
The number of people climbing Everest in 2019 could exceed last year’s record of 807 people reaching the summit. The rising numbers of people climbing - and dying - on Everest has led for calls for permits to be limited.
去年登頂珠峰的人數(shù)已經(jīng)達(dá)到了807人,而2019年的珠峰攀登人數(shù)可能會(huì)超過(guò)往年。隨著珠峰攀登人數(shù)的日益增多,死亡人數(shù)也開(kāi)始上升,人們呼吁政府控制每年允許的登山人數(shù)。
