SAREK NATIONAL PARK—
EUROPE'S HIDDEN NATURAL TREASURE
1.A Summer Where the Sun Never Sleeps
I wake up① to the sound of the wind [1]buffeting② the cloth③ of my tent. [2]Even though the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is morning or night is impossible. [3]I'm above the Arctic Circle, where in summer the sun never sets. Checking my watch, I see that it is 7:30 a.m. I leav my tent and walk over to the mountain edge④. [4]Spreading out⑤ before me, branches of the Rapa River flow through the valley⑥ below. I'm in the remote far north of Sweden in Sarek National Park, [5]a place with no roads or towns.

[5]此处是同位语,解释说明Sarek National Park。
2.A Land of Mountains and Ice
Sarek's mountains used to⑦ be covered by vast⑧ sheets of ice.Around 9,000 years ago, this ice melted⑨, [6]leaving behind⑩ about 100 glaciers⑪. Soon after, reindeer⑫ began to arrive. Following the reindeer were the Sami people, who made this territory⑬ their home. [7]Getting here is quite difficult, so apart from⑭ the Sami very few people have ever seen Sarek. In 1909, Sarek was made a national park in order to keep the land in its natural state. [8]Though the Sami are allowed to⑮ continue their traditional way of life in the park, no one else can live here, and all new development is banned⑯ within park boundaries⑰.At the far side of the valley, an ancient Sami cottage⑱ is visible⑲.Close by, there are a few reindeer [9]feeding on⑳ grass.

3.Man at Peace with Nature
For hundreds of years, [10]looking after㉑ reindeer was a way of life for the Sami. They used the reindeer's meat for food, their bones for tools, and their skin for making clothes and tents. [11]Since reindeer were always on the move㉒, the Sami would pick up㉓ their tents and accompany㉔ them. Today, most Sami have houses in villages near Sarek and live a modern life㉕ just like their neighbours. But every spring, a small number of ㉖ Sami still follow their reindeer into the valleys of Sarek, living in tents or old cottages and enjoying their traditions. I am not a Sami, but in Sarek I've adopted㉗ some of their habits. For example, this morning my breakfast is flat bread warmed over a fire, dried reindeer meat, and some sweet and sour㉘ berries that I found growing near my tent.
[10]此处是动词-ing形式作主语,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
[11]此处是since引导原因状语从句。
4.A Land of Adventure
After breakfast, I pack my bag㉙ and set out㉚ again. Since I must carry all of my food and supplies with㉛ me, my bag weighs㉜ about 30 kilograms. If today is anything like㉝ yesterday, it will be full of sweat and hard work as I hike over this difficult land to my destination on the other side of the valley. However,I cannot complain. Being in such a beautiful and wild place makes me feel blessed㉞ to be alive. Here I am, alone under this broad sky, [12]breathing the fresh air, and enjoying this great adventure. What could be better?
[12]此处是动词-ing形式作状语。
萨勒克国家公园——
欧洲隐藏的自然宝藏
1.太阳永不落山的夏天
我醒来时听到风在呼呼地吹我帐篷上的布。即使阳光灿烂,也无法分辨出是早上还是晚上。我在北极圈的上方,这里夏天的太阳永不落山。我看了下手表,现在是早上7:30。我离开我的帐篷,走到山边。展现在我面前的是流经下面的山谷的拉帕河的支流。我身处瑞典北部偏远的萨勒克国家公园,一个既没有公路也没有城镇的地方。
2.冰山之地
萨勒克的山脉曾经被巨大的冰层覆盖。大约在9 000年前,这些冰融化了,留下了大约100条冰川。不久之后,驯鹿开始来到这里。跟随驯鹿到来的是萨米人,他们在这片土地上安家落户。到达这里相当困难,所以除了萨米人之外,很少有人见过萨勒克。1909年,萨勒克被列为国家公园以保持土地处于其自然状态。虽然萨米人被允许在公园里继续保持他们的传统生活方式,但其他人不可以住在这里,并且公园范围内的一切新的开发活动都被禁止了。在山谷的另一边,可以看到一座古老的萨米人小屋。附近有几只驯鹿在草地上觅食。
3.人与自然和谐共处
几百年来,照顾驯鹿是萨米人的一种生活方式。他们用驯鹿肉做食物,用鹿骨做工具,用鹿皮做衣服和帐篷。由于驯鹿总是在迁徙,萨米人会收拾起他们的帐篷并一路跟着它们。如今,大多数萨米人在萨勒克附近的村庄有房子,过着像他们邻居一样的现代化的生活。但每年春天,仍有一小部分萨米人跟随他们的驯鹿进入萨勒克山谷,住在帐篷或旧农舍里,享受着他们的传统。我不是萨米人,但在萨勒克,我已经接受了他们的一些习惯。例如,今天早上,我的早餐是在火上烤的扁面包、驯鹿肉干,和一些我在帐篷附近找到的酸甜的浆果。
4.冒险之地
早饭后,我收拾好行李,又出发了。由于我必须随身携带所有的食物和用品,我的包重约30千克。如果今天像昨天一样,那将会充满汗水和艰辛,因为我要徒步跨越这片地形险峻的土地,到达山谷另一端的目的地。然而,我不能抱怨。在这样一个美丽而荒凉的地方,我感觉到活着是幸运的。我在这里,独自一人在广阔的天空下,呼吸着新鲜的空气,享受着这伟大的冒险。还有什么能比这更好的呢?
