情境会话

Jay: I've also caught wind of Taishan Mountain.

Catherine: Yes, that is another prime spot. If you are at all

interested in hiking, Taishan can't be missed.

Jay: Is it a dif? cult climb? I like hiking, but I'm far from

being a professional rock climber.

Catherine: No, it's ok; amateurs are just as welcome as

pros! But the best time to climb is from October to

December. After December is winter which brings

with it deep snow and ice.

Jay: Oh, climbing in snow is out of the question for

me!

Catherine: Well, during the dry season, it is not that arduous

of a hike.

Jay: Is it doable in two days?

Catherine: I think so. You can climb most of the way up in

one day; stay the night at a hostel, then climb to

the summit for the sunrise the next morning.

凯瑟琳: 是啊,那也是另一个主要的景点。如果你对登山有兴趣

的话,千万不能错过泰山。

杰: 登泰山困难吗?我喜欢登山,不过跟专业的攀岩高手比我

差多了。

凯瑟琳: 不会,其实还好。业余或者专业的登山者都可以去!不过

最好的攀登季节是从十月到十二月,过了十二月冬天以后,

山上就会有厚厚的冰雪了。

杰: 喔,在雪中登山对我而言根本是死路一条! 凯瑟琳: 嗯,在干燥的季节去登山会比较容易些。

杰: 两天的时间够用吗?

凯瑟琳: 我想没问题。你可以在一天之内走完大部分的路线,在旅

馆留宿一夜之后,隔天一早再登上顶峰看日出。

prime 主要的beaches there, right? miss 错过

climb 登山、攀爬 hike 徒步旅行

atherine: Yes, but that is just one of its many features.
