CNN News:挑戰(zhàn)死亡禁區(qū)

We`re starting this Tuesday on the world`s highest mountain. Every year since 1900, at least one person has died climbing Nepal`s Mount Everest, and this year is no exception. The 2016 climbing season has claimed its first victims. One climber died on Thursday, one on Friday, one on Saturday, and one on Sunday.

今天我們從世界最高峰講起。自1900年起，在攀登珠穆朗瑪峰的過程中，至少有一人死亡，今年也不例外。2016年，出現(xiàn)了第一位登山死亡者。周二，一位登山者死亡，之后，周五、周六、周日分別有一位登山者。

And these deaths coming so close together have frightened many of the climbers who are starting their trip back down the mountain.

這些死亡者的死亡日期非常接近，這讓許多登山者感到害怕，他們開始下山。

So, why did this happen now? Well, most people attempt to climb Everest in April and May. One reason, the winds are calmer. In other months, there are usually hurricane force winds at the summit. There are also tends to be less snow falling at this time of year, though temperatures are still will below zero degrees Fahrenheit.

所以，為什么會發(fā)生這種情況呢?大多數(shù)人試圖在4月份和5月份，因為這時候，風比較小。而在其他幾個月，山頂上會有很強的暴風。雖然氣溫低于0攝氏度，爬山者傾向于在一年中降雪量少的時候爬山。

Mount Everest spring climbing season has turned deadly with four deaths now in the past four days. You have to get to 29,000 feet to get to the top of Mount Everest. And above 26,000 feet is called the death zone. There`s just not enough oxygen up there for your body to last very long.

在過去四天，有四位登山者死亡。你需要攀爬2.9萬英尺到達山頂，而2.6英尺以上，則是死亡地帶，因為那里氧氣稀薄。

Now, this is the first real death from climbing that we`ve seen since they close the mountain because of the earthquake. I remember, there was also the avalanche that closed part of the climbing season in 2015, 2014. So, not many people have been up there.

現(xiàn)在， 自從由于地震禁止攀登珠峰以來這是我們親眼目睹首名登山者死亡。我還記得， 在2015年，2014年還曾發(fā)生雪崩,造成人們有段時間無法攀登。因此，不是很多人都能登頂。

They`re also saying that there are so many people trying to get to the top because it is now open again but then slowing the ascent and keeping those people, keeping the climbers in that dead zone longer because it`s such a slow climb to the top. Avalanches kill people. Injuries kill people from falling, or from ISIS collapses, also weather from exposure, and, of course, just altitude sickness alone is killing people up there because of the height of Mount Everest.

他們也表示有那么多人努力登頂,因為現(xiàn)在這座山已經(jīng)重新開放，但勢頭正在減緩并且讓這些人，讓登山者在死亡區(qū)域有更長時間,因為爬到頂部會是個很緩慢的過程。雪崩會造成登山者死亡。從高處跌落會造成傷亡，而寒冷的天氣，當然， 由于珠穆朗瑪峰的高度，僅僅是高原反應也能置人于死地。
