Hi everyone, welcome to the Snow Centre. My name's Annie.
大家好，欢迎来到Snow Centre。我的名字叫Annie。
I hope you enjoyed the bus trip from the airport -- we've certainly got plenty of snow today!
我希望你能享受从机场开始的巴士之旅--我们今天有很多雪！
Well, you've come to New Zealand's premier snow and ski centre,
你来到的是新西兰最早的滑雪中心，
and we've a whole load of activities for you during your week here.
我们将会为你在这里的一个星期提供丰富多彩的活动。
Most visitors come here for the cross-country skiing,
许多游客为了跨国家滑雪而来，
where you're on fairly flat ground for most of the time, rather than going down steep mountainsides.
大多数情况是比较平坦的地面，而不是陡峭的山坡滑行。
There are marked trails, but you can also leave these and go off on your own and that's an experience not to be missed.
这里有著名的路线，但是你也可以不去这些路线自己滑行，这是不容错过的体验。
You can go at your own speed -- it's great aerobic exercise if you really push yourself,
你可以跟着自己的速度滑行--这是一项不错的有氧运动，如果你真的推动了你自己，
or if you prefer you can just glide gently along and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
或者如果你喜欢慢滑，沿途欣赏优美的风景。
This afternoon, you'll be going on a dog-sled rip.
这个下午，你将开启一个狗拉雪橇的旅行。
You may have seen our dogs on TV recently racing in the winter sled festival.
你们可能最近已经在电视上看到过我们的狗参加冬季雪橇大会的比赛。
If you want, you can have your own team for the afternoon and learn how to drive them, following behind our leader on the trail.
如果你想要体验，你可以自己在下午组队，跟在我们的带领员之后，学习怎么在线路上骑行它们。
Or if you'd prefer, you can just sit back in the sled and enjoy the ride as a passenger.
或者如果你喜欢，你可以坐在雪橇里面，享受乘客的感觉。
At the weekend, we have the team relay event, and you're all welcome to join in.
周末我们有团队接力的比赛，很欢迎你们参加。
We have a local school coming along, and a lot of the teachers are taking part too.
我们有一个当地的学校要参加，还有一些老师也会参加。
Participation rather than winning is the main focus, and there's a medal for everyone who takes part.
重在参与是比赛的主旨，所有参赛者都会有奖牌。
Participants are in teams of two to four, and each team must complete four laps of the course.
参赛者以二到四人的方式组队，并且每支队伍都必须完成一组四圈。
For your final expedition, you'll head off to Mount Frenner wearing a pair of special snow shoes which allow you to walk on top of the snow.
在你的最终探险中，你将会穿一双特殊的能让你在雪上行走鞋子，从Frenner山上直接滑下。
This is an area where miners once searched for gold, though there are very few traces of their work left now.
这里是以前矿工寻找金子的地方，尽管如今留下的踪迹不多。
When the snow melts in summer, the mountain slopes are carpeted in flowers and plants.
当夏天雪融化时，山的轮廓就是花和植物的形状。
It's a long ascent, though not too steep, and walkers generally take a couple of days to get to the summit and return.
这是一条很长的上坡，但是并不陡峭，游客通常会花几天爬到山顶在返回。
You'll spend the night in our hut half-way up the mountain.
你会在我们上山时半腰的小屋里过夜。
That's included in your package for the stay.
你的行李里需要有过夜东西。
It's got cooking facilities, firewood and water for drinking.
这里有厨具，生火的木头和饮用水。
For washing, we recommend you use melted snow, though, to conserve supplies.
至于洗衣服，我们推荐你用融雪水，是为了保存补给。
We can take your luggage up on our snowmobile for you for just ten dollars a person.
我们可以用学车把的行李搬上来，只要十美元一人。
The hut has cooking facilities so you can make a hot meal in the evening and morning, but you need to take your own food.
小屋有厨具所以你可以给自己准备热腾早餐和晚餐，但是你需要自己带好食物。
The weather on Mount Frenner can be very stormy.
Frenner雪山很容易有暴风雪。
In that case, stay in the hut -- generally the storms don' t last long.
遇到这种情况，就待在小屋里--一般来说暴风雪不会持续很久。
Don't stress about getting back here to the centre in time to catch the airport bus -- they'll probably not be running anyway.
不要因为需要及时赶回中心前往机场的飞机而有压力--它们不会开走的。
We do have an emergency locator beacon in the hut but only use that if it's a real emergency, like if someone's ill or injured.
我们的确会在小屋里有一个紧急定位灯塔，但是只会在真正紧急的情况下使用，就好比有人生病或者受伤了。
