Unit 3 A Hard Trip
一次辛苦的旅行
My sister was fond of traveling. Ever since graduating, she had been determined to organize a trip to an old temple.
我的妹妹很喜欢旅行。自从毕业以来，她就下定决心要组织一次往一座古庙的旅行。
Since transporting fare was expensive, she decided to use a bicycle to cycle there not caring about the disadvantages.
因为交通费用昂贵，她决定骑自行车去，毫不担心其中的不利情况。
Her stubborn attitude was always her shortcoming. Once she made up her mind to do something, no one could persuade her to change her mind.
顽固的态度一直都是她的缺点，一旦她下定决心要做的事，就没有人能说服她改变主意。
Finally, we gave in as usual though we preferred to take a train.
最后，我们像往常一样作出让步，尽管我们更喜欢乘火车去。
After we prepared everything, including the schedule, reliable weather forecast and the insurance, we began our trip.
我们准备好了所有东西，包括时间表、可靠的天气预报，还有保险，就开始了旅程。
Our journey was along a river flowing from a high altitude.
我们的旅程沿着一条从高海拔处流下来的河流前行。
Our pace was slow because the river frequently had many sharp bends through deep valleys, where the water seemed to boil.
但我们的进程很慢，因为这条河流急转弯很多，当流经深深地峡谷时，急湍的河水都似乎沸腾起来。
Just as I recorded in my journal, it was really a hard journey. But we also enjoyed great views.
正如我在旅行日志里记录的那样，这真是一次艰苦的旅行。但是我们也欣赏到了美丽的景色。
One night, I put my head on my pillow -- a parcel of wool coats, and lay beneath the stars.
一天晚上，我把头枕在一包羊毛衣服做的枕头上，躺在星空下。
When the flame in front of our cave went out at midnight, I found the sky so beautiful!
当岩洞前的火焰在午夜熄灭时，我发现夜空是如此的美丽！
