Section Ⅰ Starting out & Understanding ideas
Ⅰ.课文翻译
攀登珠穆朗玛峰：值得冒险吗？
明知道会是一次拥挤、不舒适而又危险的体验,去年仍有数百人愿意为此花费大价钱。

由于极端严寒与低气压,很多人会生病,甚至有少数人会丢掉性命。

尽管如此,在旅程的结尾,已经有很多人在计划着重返这里。

对于这些人来说,攀登珠穆朗玛峰是一项独一无二的体验，它让一些人感受到脆弱的同时也让另一些人感受到强大。

英国登山家乔治·马洛里曾这样记述攀登珠峰的体验：“我们从这项冒险活动中获得的是纯粹的快乐……我们活着不是为了吃饭和挣钱。

我们吃饭和挣钱是为了能够享受生活。

这才是生活的意义和目标。

”可惜的是,1924年马洛里在登山过程中身亡,而他的遗体多年后才被找到。

至今人们也不知道他生前是否成功登顶了珠峰。

2011年,美国登山家艾伦·阿内特也说过与马洛里类似的话。

那一年他登上了珠峰,之后又准备去攀登世界各地其他的高山。

“登山让你聚焦于对你而言重要的事,”他补充道,“纵使有一千个理由让你回头,但总有一个让你继续前行。

你必须专注于那一个对你来说最重要也最独特的理由。

它会强迫你去深入地审视自己,去思考自己的身体和心灵是否足够坚强,能在你想放弃的时候推动你继续向前。

”
大多数攀登珠峰的尝试要么大获全胜,要么彻底失败,这一冒险行为的背后是否也有科学解释呢？近日有研究指出,冒险可能是人类天性中的一部分,而有些人比其他人更愿意去冒险。

心理学家弗兰克·法利曾花费数年时间研究那些高空跳伞、飙车以及攀登珠峰的人。

他把这些人的人格特征称作“T型人格”,“T”代表“刺激”。

在对《洛杉矶时报》描述“T型人格”时,法利说道：“他们会说‘我并不是在冒险,我是这方面的专家……’。

他们并不想死,也不认为自己会死。

”
还有研究表明,我们对于冒险的渴望与我们期待从中获得多少收益有关。

了解这些之后,你认为攀登珠峰带来的好处值得人们去冒险吗？答案完全取决于你自己。
