Mount Fuji Peak, Japan, 1982
"'He who climbs Fuji once is a wise man; he who climbs it twice is a fool,' goes a Japanese saying. For centuries pilgrims have ascended 12,389-foot [3,776-meter] Mount Fuji. Now even as its slopes are scarred by erosion and defiled by tons of garbage, planners seek to accommodate more people."

—From "Earth Almanac," January 1993, National Geographic magazine

【中文翻译】

有句日本谚语说：“攀登富士山一次的人是一个智者；攀登两次的人就是一个笨蛋。”数个世纪以来，朝圣者们已经登上了12389英尺[3776米] 的富士山。现在即使它的斜坡由于侵蚀变得伤痕累累和受到大量垃圾的污染，计划者仍然设法接待更多的来客。
