Slovakia

A trek to Slovakia's Tatra mountain peaks presents tough challenges for Kevin Rushby and family.

II.
We started at a trailhead called Biela Voda. We had, after much frank discussion, weeded our equipment down to three day packs – the huts would provide bedding and food. Three hours of gentle walking brought us to our first overnight stop: Zelenom hut, on the shores of a small lake and surrounded on three sides by towering peaks. On a sunny afternoon in August the place was heaving with walkers grabbing lunch, helpfully explained with a series of photos: kapustova, hearty cabbage soup, for example, and halusky, small potato dumplings covered in bacon and sheep's cheese. Every hut also makes its own herbal tea, chai, from mountain herbs, and this was always excellent.

We had reserved beds that night, but some hikers were arriving in hope: the huts will always find a place, especially if the weather turns bad. Our first day had been easy, for which I offered up thanks to Lenka, who'd organised our route. There were no mutinies – yet.

Zelenom Hut at dawn

At dawn the mountains were bathed in golden light, but cloud was rolling up from below by the time we tackled our first major ascent, to a 2,000-metre pass. We were in cloud and glad of waterproofs and warm jumpers (packed in drybags). This was also our first taste of relentlessly stony High Tatra footpaths – good boots are essential. There were sections where chains provided extra handholds, too. Lunch came at a ski station, then we yomped down to Zamkovskeho hut, an idyllic Swiss-style chalet just below the treeline. It was built in 1942 by pioneering local mountaineer Stefan Zamkovsky, who used it as a sanctuary for Jewish and political refugees in the second world war. He was later exiled for political reasons. As with most of the huts, supplies are ferried in on foot by porters: some are professionals, but others are volunteers who earn a free cup of tea for their efforts.

Inside Swiss-style Zamkovskeho Hut

YOYO说词

trailhead 小道的起点
frank discussion 坦诚的交谈
weeded…down to 缩减至；weed 本义指“除草”，可见砍掉行李的力度

huts 临时住所
bedding 被褥，床品
gentle walking 这一段路还不算艰难

surrounded on three sides by towering peaks 三面环山（不过是山峰……很高……）

heaving with 人头攒动的样子
hearty 丰盛的

offered up 献上
mutinies 哗变；幽默的说法，意思是家人还没有开始任何暴力或非暴力不合作运动

relentlessly stony Kevin 用词总是那么讲究；stony 一语双关，一方面展现出山路的艰难——布满石头（这是本义）而崎岖不平，另一方面，让旅人走如此凹凸嶙峋的路，大山显得有些冷酷无情 （这是引申义）；这还不算，还得加上一个 relentlessly，一来呼应本义，表示一路而来艰难程度稳扎稳打毫无丝毫降低；再者照映引申义，显示出大山的无情一面——它不可能为任何一名想要征服它的旅人改变它的艰难险阻。

Handholds 把手
yomped（士兵）野外负重行军

chalet 山地农舍式房子
treeline 树木线；指森林线以上树木继续散生生长，直到分布最高的矮生树木的生长界限。此外以上树木就不能生长（感谢百度百科）。

sanctuary 避难所
exiled 流放
ferried in 运送进来

YOYO说句
1. kapustova, hearty cabbage soup, for example, and halusky, small potato dumplings covered in bacon and sheep's cheese.

延续上一篇当中所提到的，咱们继续来关注同位语的用法。咱们可以借鉴过来，也用于介绍家乡美食和特产上。具体用法是：某菜肴或食品的拼音 + 简单的食材和烹饪方式描述。这样一来，既省了我们非得找出一个英文短语与之对应的麻烦，又顺便用上了重述 (Paraphrase) 这个加分项。

2. At dawn the mountains were bathed in golden light, but cloud was rolling up from below by the time we tackled our first major ascent, to a 2,000-metre pass. We were in cloud…

“沐浴阳光”，“云彩追逐着我们的脚步”，“在云海中”等等文艺范儿的话不会说？那就好好读读这句话吧。

3. … Zamkovskeho hut, an idyllic Swiss-style chalet just below the treeline. It was built in 1942 by pioneering local mountaineer Stefan Zamkovsky, who used it as a sanctuary for Jewish and political refugees in the second world war. He was later exiled for political reasons.

让我们再次学习 Kevin 是如何描绘一个 historical site 的。我们看到，房屋的形状与风格 (chalet)，地点 (just below the treeline)，建造时间 (in 1942)，最初建造目的 (as a sanctuary)，修建人 (Stefan Zamkovsky) 及其人生经历 (was later exiled)，皆成文章。
