Unit 8 AdventureThe great Himalayas run through the entire northern part of India. Derived (源自) from the Sanskrit (梵语) word“Himalaya” which means “the home of snow”， it has the largest mountain peaks in the world and stretches (延伸) across six countries in Asia： Bhutan， China， Nepal， India， Pakistan and Afghanistan.This range offers numerous sports activities like trekking (徒步旅行) and camping that can satisfy your adventure enthusiasm. Besides this， you may even try whitewater rafting in mountain rivers.Trekking in the Himalayas can be the most enjoyable and challenging experience of your life. Trekking in the Himalayas actually requires great courage. Though trekking provides you with the best opportunities to view the natural beauty through naked eyes，you need to be physically fit. It can be one of your most memorable vacations in the Himalayas and also reasonably less expensive.Camping in the Himalayas can be the best way to enjoy nature photography and explore this heaven on earth. All you require is to surrender (交给) your soul to the Mother Nature and feel its hidden beauty and dimensions (规模). Camping in the Himalayas will let you understand why this land has always attracted the hearts of mountaineers， explorers and travellers for over a century.Today，people from all across the world come to the Himalayas for different purposes. There are some who come to view the nature and some for vacation. Whatever the reason is， the Himalayas foothills are just perfect to experience adventure activities.Section_Warmup_&_Lesson_1_PrereadingADVENTURE IN THE HIMALAYASJust imagine. You are walking along a mountain path in the Himalayas. You are feeling tired. You are thinking about how far there is to go. Then, suddenly you are there! And the amazing Mount Qomolangma is on the horizon. It looks great. A few minutes later, you arrive at the camp. The food cooking on the fire smells great and while you are having a hot cup of tea, you relax and watch the sun go down. At dinner, the food tastes fantastic. You talk with other people in the group about everything you have seen and done during your days hiking. If you are looking for experiences like this, Adventure 2000 is the organisation for you.A lot of hiking holidays sound exciting, but the reality is often very different. Hiking trips can be uncomfortable and even dangerous. However, at Adventure 2000 we feel that we understand the needs of hikers. All our guides have several years of experience in leading hiking trips in the Himalayas. They know all the best routes and best places to camp. We also realise that hiking can be hard work and believe that hikers need all our help. As well as the group guide, all teams have cooks and porters. While on a hiking trip， our cooks prepare delicious meals. And our porters carry your luggage， which means that you can simply enjoy the experience.imagine v想象，设想imagine doing sth. 想象做某事imagination n想象力，想象出来的东西horizon /hraIzn/ n. 地平线on the horizon 在地平线上；将要发生smell 是连系动词，意为“闻起来”。taste 是连系动词，意为“尝起来”。fantastic adj. 极好的，有趣的organisation /naIzeIn/ n团体，组织，机构organize vt.组织sound 是连系动词，意为“听起来”。uncomfortable /nkmftbl/ adj.不舒服的，不自在的comfortable adj.舒服的route /rut/ n路程，路线as well as 除以外还有porter /pt/ n行李搬运工while 当时候，引导时间状语从句，此处是省略形式。luggage /lId/ n行李(同美式英语 baggage)a piece of luggage/an article of luggage 一件行李mean v意味着mean to do sth. 打算做某事mean doing sth. 意味着做某事simply adv.仅仅，简单地 喜马拉雅山探险第12段译文试想一下，你正走在喜马拉雅山的一条山路上，感到很疲惫，正在想还要走多远，然后突然你就到达目的地了！惊人的珠穆朗玛峰出现在地平线上，看起来如此壮观。几分钟后，你到达营地。烤在火上的食物散发着诱人的香味，你喝着一杯热茶，轻松地欣赏着日落。晚饭时，品尝着可口的食物，和其他成员讨论着你们一天的远足中所见以及所做的一切。如果你在寻找这样的经历，“探险2000”这个机构最适合你。很多徒步旅行听起来令人兴奋，但是现实常常大不相同。徒步旅行可能会不舒服，甚至会很危险。但是在“探险2000”，我们认为我们是理解远足者的需要的。我们所有的导游都有多年在喜马拉雅山上带领徒步旅行的经验。他们熟知所有的最佳路线和最好的宿营地。我们也知道远足很艰难，我们确信远足者需要所有帮助。所有的登山队都配有厨师、搬运工和向导。在徒步旅行中，我们的厨师会准备美味可口的食物。有搬运工为你搬运行李，这就意味着你能尽情享受旅行。At Adventure 2000 we also think that good travel arrangements are important. We organise all the flights for you: from London to Beijing, from Beijing to Lhasa and bus travel in Tibet.Accommodation is in comfortable hotels in Beijing and Lhasa, hostels on the hiking trip, and oneor twoperson tents for camping.There are also special offers for people who dont want to go straight home afterwards.
