40磅重的背包，7天沒能洗澡，還有每天6公里的徒步，聽起來并不像是在度假，但是這樣奇怪的組合竟然是我生活中最美妙的經(jīng)歷之一。

就讀哈佛大學(xué)前，我進行了一次冒險并去探索了一個全新的世界。說實話，當我在把衣服、食物和重重的纜繩塞進背包時，我心里是害怕的。我從來沒有過背包旅行的經(jīng)歷，也不認識團隊里的任何人。我到底給自己挖了個什么樣的坑呢？夜里我躺在床上，不停地問著自己這個問題，等待著黎明的到來?！癆40-poundbackpack,7dayswithoutashower,and6milesofhikingeveryday”做主語，but表示轉(zhuǎn)折，連接兩個并列句。NotesTextAAJourneytoRemember★peak/pi?k/n.①thepointedtopofamountain;amountainwithapointedtop山峰；峰巒e.g.amountainpeak山峰②thepointwhensb./sth.isbest,mostsuccessful,strongest,etc.頂峰；高峰e.g.Trafficreachesitspeakbetween8and9inthemorning.上午8、9點鐘之間是交通高峰期。v.toreachthehighestpointorvalue達到高峰；達到最高值e.g.Unemploymentpeakedat17%.失業(yè)率達到17%的最高點。3

說真的，旅行的第一天非常艱難。到達第一個頂峰時，我?guī)缀醮簧蠚鈦怼Ｎ覀兊奈绮褪腔ㄉu煎餅，萬萬沒想到它如此美味！在幾次打破冷場的局面，在險道上相互鼓勵和深夜促膝長談后，我很快交到了新朋友，這是我沒有想到的。Notes“whoknew”的意思是“誰知道”，that引導(dǎo)的是賓語從句，it是從句的主語，指代前面的“apeanutbutterburrito”。TextAAJourneytoRemember★refreshing/r??fre???/adj.使人精力充沛的；使人涼爽的e.g.arefreshingdrink/shower提神的飲料/淋浴refreshinglydifferent煥然一新4

傍晚時分，我們抵達了宿營地，領(lǐng)隊教我們?nèi)绾螌⒗K索系在樹上，并用防水布做漂亮的小帳篷。毫無征兆地，天漸漸黑了，氣溫也越來越低。四處走了走后，讓我感覺神清氣爽。我們戴著頭燈圍坐在一起，以便能看清楚我們吃的是什么。從高處看，我們就像在漆黑寂靜的山谷中閃爍著的13顆耀眼的小星星。Notes“withourheadlightsshining”是介詞短語做狀語。so引導(dǎo)的是結(jié)果狀語從句，“whatwewereeating”是what引導(dǎo)的名詞性從句，做see的賓語，what在從句中做eat的賓語。TextAAJourneytoRemember★outofnowhere突然冒出來；莫名其妙地出現(xiàn)e.g.Sherosetofameoutofnowhere.

次日早晨，空氣清新。當我享受著眼下的時光時，我們的三個領(lǐng)隊突然跳上帳篷大喊道“該起床啦?。?！”我們齊聲抱怨，盡管有一萬個不樂意，也爬到了外面。早餐后，我們迅速打包行李，向著我們的下一個目的地出發(fā)。這一次，我有個有趣的發(fā)現(xiàn)：如果一邊徒步一邊跟別人聊天，就不會感到那么累。似乎是聊天分散了我的注意力，讓我不再時刻關(guān)注身體的勞累。我們聊著天，仿佛我們是老朋友一樣，我的歸屬感與日俱增。Notesasif的意思是“仿佛，似乎，好像”，引導(dǎo)狀語從句，從句的謂語動詞如果用虛擬語氣，表示與事實相反；如果用陳述語氣，表示所說的情況是事實或?qū)崿F(xiàn)的可能性較大。此句中用的是陳述語氣。“Iwasfeeling”是定語從句，修飾限定“thephysicaltiredness”，省略了that。Distractfrom的意思是“從……中解脫”。TextAAJourneytoRemember★rough/r?f/

旅行的最后一天，我們比平常晚了一點離開宿營地，直到傍晚，我們還沒能到達新的營地。我開始變得焦慮，因為我的頭燈在逐漸變暗。我越是焦慮，絆倒的次數(shù)就越多。當事態(tài)無法控制時，我通常會失去理智。但在那個時候，大家都出乎意料的放松。走在我前面的女孩兒——梅利莎，不停地回頭用她自己的頭燈為我照明。她不斷安慰我“會好的，我們馬上就到了”。她真的打動了我，我的眼淚不止一次奪眶而出。當我?guī)缀跻艞壍臅r候，我們終于走進一片曠野，成千上萬的星星為我們照亮了前方的路。我讓眼淚順著臉頰流下，我成功了。在那一刻我是如此的興奮，我唯一想做的就是擁抱他們每一個人，告訴他們，他們對我來說如此重要。TextAAJourneytoRemember★oneanother互相e.g.Wealltryandhelponeanother.我們都盡力互相幫助。8

坐在星空下，我們開始分享美味的餐后蛋糕，輪流傾訴彼此的欽佩之情。當我聽到很多新朋友說我勇敢時，我非常意外。他們說我有勇氣漂洋過海離開家走進山里，有勇氣去挑戰(zhàn)從沒做過的艱難的事。TextAAJourneytoRemember9

我第一次學(xué)習(xí)編織是在孩提時，但是大約在5年前，我很認真地重拾這項愛好。當我說“認真地”時，不是想表達我織出來的東西有多好，而是意味著我打算在編織上面投入把時間。當我回歸這項愛好時，我希望找到一項工作之余的消遣。結(jié)果，我找到了解決數(shù)字干擾問題的辦法。WhenIsay“seriously”是when引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句。thatmostofwhatImakeareanygood是that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句，其中whatImakeareanygood作介詞of的賓語。but是連詞，連接兩個并列句。it指代前一句中的hobby。NotesTextBHowKnittingSavedMefromDigitalOverload2
