Most young people enjoy some form of physical activities. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be game of some kind like football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering. Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure. Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods. If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a "team game". We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no "matches" between "teams" of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport techniques require high mental and physical qualities. A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment. 大多数年轻人都喜欢某种形式的体育活动。这可能是步行、骑自行车或游泳,或在冬季滑冰或滑雪;也可能是足球、曲棍球、高尔夫或网球等球类运动;还可能是登山运动。 那些热衷于攀登高险山峰的人常常会令人感到惊讶。为什么男男女女愿意忍受严寒与艰辛,在高山上冒险?这种惊讶可能源于登山与其他休闲活动之间的差异。 登山是一项运动,而非游戏。它不像高尔夫或足球那样有人为制定的规则。当然,登山也有另一种不可忽视的规则,否则会带来危险。但正是这种不受人为规则限制的自由,吸引着许多人参与登山。登山者可以自由采用自己的方法。 如果我们将登山与其他更为人熟知的运动进行比较,我们可能会认为一个很大的区别在于登山不是一项“团队运动”。这种想法是错误的。诚然,登山者的“队伍”之间没有“比赛”,但当登山者们在岩壁上用绳索相连,他们的生命可能依赖于这条绳索时,显然存在团队合作。 登山者知道他可能必须与比人类更强大、更有力的力量抗争。他必须与自然力量抗争。他的运动技巧需要很高的心理素质和身体素质。 登山者的技能逐年提高。滑雪运动员可能在三十岁时就过了巅峰期,大多数国际网球冠军在二十出头时达到巅峰。但对于五六十岁的人来说,攀登阿尔卑斯山的最高峰并不罕见。他们可能比年轻人花费更多时间,但他们可能攀登得更有技巧,更少浪费精力,而且他们肯定能体验到同样的乐趣。【缺少答案,请补充】
