For the next week, I tramped along twisting mountain paths on legs that became ever more unwilling. It seemed that the glittering snow-covered trails would never reach an end. For the first time I made the painful discovery of how small and feeble I was, and I learned a true respect and awe for the mountains.
接下去一個星期，腳步在峰迴路轉中日漸蹣跚，白皚皚的雪徑似乎永遠望不到盡頭，第一次痛切知道自己的渺小無力，對山，於是起了真正的敬畏。
