Walk In The Woods, A(ISBN=9780307279460) azw3 极速 下载 snb txt pdf pdb 夸克云

The Appalachian Trail trail stretches from Georgia to Maine and

covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in America–majestic

mountains, silent forests, sparking lakes. If you’re going to take

a hike, it’s probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely

the most entertaing guide you’ll find. He introduces us to the

history and ecology of the trail and to some of the other hardy (or

just foolhardy) folks he meets along the way–and a couple of bears.

Already a classic, A Walk in the Woods will make you long

for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and

read in).

Woods are not like other spaces. To begin with, they are cubic. Their tress surround you, loom over you, press in from all sides. Woods choke off views and leave you muddled and without bearings. They make you feel small and confused and vulnerable, like a small child lost in a crowd of strange legs. Stand in a desert or prairie and you know you are in a big space. Stand in a woods and you only sense it. They are a vast, featureless nowhere. And they are alive.

不管你奋力前进多少路，可望而不可即的最高峰一直往后退着，因此，每当天穹露出一角让你得以一瞥的时候，你总是郁闷地看到，最高的树木依旧像先前那样遥不可及。你仍然跌跌撞撞地前进，你还能怎么样呢

但是也许天还在下雨，是一种寒冷、无情的斜雨，邻近的山峰上响着雷、闪着电，也许一队雄鹰侦查排踏着沉闷的小步跑过来了。也许你又冷又饿，身上的气味臭得你自己也没法闻。也许你想躺下来，像地衣那样：不是真的死掉，只是一动不动地躺上很长很长的时间。

我醒来已经是白天了，我的帐篷的内壁覆着一层奇怪的片状结晶，一会儿我就明白了，这都是我在夜间打的鼾，被冷缩、冰冻和凝结在帐篷的织物上，好似被收藏进一本呼吸纪念物剪贴簿。

Even an interstate highway, with its cloverleaf interchanges and parallel carriageways, looked benign and thoughtful, like the illustrations you used to get in children's books in my boyhood, showing an America that was busy and on the move, but not too busy to be attractive.

“At the time of our hike, the Appalachian Trail was fifty-nine years old. That is, by American standards, incredibly venerable. The Oregon and Santa Fe trails didn’t last as long. Route 66 didn’t last as long. The old coast-to-coast Lincoln Highway, a road that brought transforming wealth and life to hundreds of little towns, so important and familiar that it became known as “America’s Main Street,” didn’t last as long. Nothing in America does. If a product or enterprise doesn’t constantly reinvent itself, it is superseded, cast aside, abandoned without sentiment in favor of something bigger, newer, and, alas, nearly always uglier.”
