  讀故事單詞雅思詞匯-After the avalanche

  Mick averted his eyes from the reflection of the sun bouncing off the badge of the ski patrol captain.

  "I don't know how it happened for sure." He said. "I was walking up the mountain along the southern axis looking for alpine bacteria when I became aware of movement in the Background Then, when I saw the avalanche I froze. It was an automatic response. Luckily it missed me, but there must have been some kind of backlash because I was swept off my feet onto my backbone by something. And then I woke up and you were here."

  "Well, you're lucky you' re okay." Answered the captain. "Others have been less fortunate. Here, you can use my auxiliary skis to help you get down the mountain. They' re all I have available, unless you want to try to walk down on a pair of badminton rackets. Anyhow, you shouldn't come in this area again without being authorized. This is an autonomous managed region and local authorities are real hard-core about their autonomy. In addition, they have noted that temperatures this year are higher than average.This increases the risk of avalanches. They don' t have many avenues to spread this information and warn people because the only way to get here is via aviation. Their attempts to warn potential visitors were to no avail for you, unfortunately, but they are starting to automate a process for obtaining travel permits for others. This will be a method for them to give weather warnings."

  "Thanks." Mick said as he strapped on the skis. "It's a beautiful area. I'll be back for sure.

  雪崩之后

  米克轉移目光，以避開從雪地巡邏隊隊長的徽章上反射過來的跳動著的陽光。

  “我不太清楚事情到底是如何發生的，”他說，“我當時正順著南軸往山上走，尋找高山菌，這時我忽然意識到背景里有東西在移動。然后，一看到雪崩我就僵住了，那完全是一種自動反應。還好雪崩沒有砸到我，可是它一定產生了某種反沖，因為我被某個東西摔了一跤、脊柱著地。等我醒過來你就在這兒了。”

  “你能安然無恙真是幸運，”隊長回答道。“其他人就沒你走運了。來，用我的備用滑雪板下山吧。我只有這些現成可使用的東西，除非你想腳踩一副羽毛球拍下山。下次如果沒有得到批準，你無論如何不能再來這個地方了。這是片自治區域，地方當局在他們的自治問題上特別頑固。另外，他們也注意到今年的溫度比平常高，這也就增加了雪崩的危險。他們沒有那么多的渠道傳播消息警告人們，因為唯一來這里的方式是飛行。不幸的是，他們對可能來的游客做出的警告對你沒起什么作用，但他們正在啟用一種自動程序讓大家獲得旅游許可，這將成為他們發布氣候警告的一種方式。”

  “謝謝。”米克一邊綁好滑雪板的帶子一邊說，“這個地區真美，我一定會再來的。”
