慢速英语丨每天五分钟收听全世界20210413【字幕】登山者计划4月重返珠峰************************************************************************音频的原文和翻译，可以在【季冬记事】工众号的历史记录里面找到哦************************************************************************由于新冠病毒大流行，世界最高峰珠穆朗玛峰关闭了一年。但是尼泊尔方向的珠穆朗玛峰将在下个月再次向游客开放。这一消息让世界各地的登山者感到兴奋。随着天气好转，登山季将于4月份开始。尼泊尔旅游部的一位代表估计，今年大约会有300名登山者试图登顶珠峰。在2019年的登山季中，有创记录的381名登山者试图登顶珠峰。今年，如果有人想要攀登珠峰，他们必须展示近期的新冠病毒阴性证明。游客们在抵达尼泊尔之后还必须隔离一周。登山是尼泊尔经济的重要组成部分。包括珠峰在内的全球14座最高山峰中，有8座至少部分位于这个南亚国家境内。一2020年，随着新冠病毒在尼泊尔境内传播，这个与中国和印度接壤的国家关闭了珠峰入口。尼泊尔报告了近27.5万例病例，死亡人数超过3000例。由于已经开始接种疫苗，新冠疫情现在得到了有力的控制。珠峰中国一侧仍处于关闭状态，因此可能会有更多登山者前往尼泊尔。卢卡斯·弗腾巴赫（Lukas Furtenbach）在富腾巴赫探险公司工作，这家总部位于加州的登山旅行公司。他计划今年将22人带到尼泊尔登山。他的两个团队将尝试攀登珠峰。他称自己的团队将会遵守新冠规定，例如在行程开始时采取隔离措施。加勒特·麦迪逊（Garrett Madison）拥有一家名为麦迪逊登山的探险公司。他计划四五月份带登山者登山。他说：“我们不惧新冠病毒，但也会采取预防措施。”而另一家公司这个登山季将停业。阿德里安·巴林格（Adrian Ballinger）就职于加利福尼亚的Alpenglow探险公司。他说，由于尼泊尔医疗体系薄弱，现在带团登山是不负责任的行为。巴林格表示：“我们最不愿意做的事就是让登山客陷入险境，或是在山上制造营救的局面。如果有人生病，就会把其他人置于危险当中。”丹·弗里戴尔为您播报。
