篇一
True Traveling
The future history books might record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world – or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train a blurred image of the countryside constantlysmears the windows. Car drivers, in particular, are forever obsessed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop. Is it the lure of the great motorways, or what? And as for sea travel, it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song: ‘I joined the navy to see the world, and what did I see? I saw the sea.’ The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says 'I’ve been there'. You mention the remotest, mostevocative place-names in the world and someone is bound to say 'I’ve been there' meaning, 'I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else. '
When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you suspend all experience; the present ceases to be a reality: you might just as well be dead. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical weariness. He knows that sound. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travellers.
真正的旅行
未來的歷史書還會記載說，我們的眼睛也棄置不用了。在急 急忙忙從一個地方趕往另一個地方的路上，我們什麼都沒看到。 航空旅行可以使你鳥瞰世界——要是機翼恰好擋住了你的視線， 你就看得更少了。當你乘汽車或火車旅行的時候，模糊不清的鄉 村景象不停地映在車窗玻璃上。尤其是汽車司機，他們的頭腦永 遠都被“向前，向前”的衝動佔據著：他們從來都不要停下來。到 底是由於漂亮車道的誘惑，還是別的什麼?至於海上旅行，簡直 不值一提。有一首老歌的歌詞對海上旅行是一個完美的概括：‘哦 加入海軍去看世界，我看到了什麼?我看見了大海。”最典型的 四世紀旅行者總是說“我已經去過那兒了”。你提到世界上最遙 遠、最引人遇思的地名，比如埃爾多拉多、喀布林、伊爾庫茨克， 準有人說“我去過那兒”——意思是：“我在去另外一個地方的路 上，以100英里的時速路過那兒。”
當你以很高的速度旅行時，“現在”就什麼都不是：你主要生 活在未來，因為你多半時間在盼望趕到別的一個地方去。但是當你真的到達了目的地，你的到達也沒有什麼意義。你還要繼續前行。像這樣子旅行，你什麼也沒有經歷;你的現在並不是現實：跟死亡沒有什麼兩樣。另一方面，徒步旅行者卻總是生活在現在。 對他來說，旅行和到達是同一件事情：他是一步一步走著來到某地的。他在用自己的眼睛、耳朵和整個身體體驗現在。在他旅途 的終點，他感到一種愉悅的生理疲憊。他知道他會享受深沉而甜 蜜的睡眠：這是對一切真正旅行者的酬報。

Beijing Man Site
周口店——《北京人》遺址
Natural Feature
自然概況
On December 2nd 1929.a Chinese paleoanthropologist named Pei Wenzhong discovered a complete skull of“Peking Man”on Dragon Bone Hill northwest of Zhoukoudian village，in the southwest suburbs of Beijing
1929年12月2日，我國人類考佔學家裴文中先生在北京西南郊的周口店龍骨山北坡一個大洞穴中，發現了’完整的北京猿人頭蓋骨。
Later，archaeologists unearthed 40-odd individually fossilized skeletons of“Peking Man"，male，female，old and young，all at the same site. Zhoukoudian，therefore，became the most common site for human remains with the most abundant fossils in the world from the same period.The discovery pushed the history of Beijing's civilization back to some 600 000 years. These fossilized remains prove that“Peking Man" was primitive man in an evolutionary process from ancient ape to modern man，and is the ancestor of the Chinese nation.
後來，在這同一個地方，考古學家們又發現了40多具“北京人”的骨骼化石，其中有男有女，有老有少。從此，週日店北京猿人遺址聞名於世，這裡儲存著世界上數量最多的同一時期人類化石。“北京人”的發現將北京的歷史向前推進了約60萬年。這些化石證實，“北京人”就是處於古代猿人向現代人進化過程中的原始人類，是中華民族祖先。
About 600 000 years ago，living on the plain here were tigers，leopards deer, bovines，and beavers.For safety against these animals and shelter, Peking Man chose the limestone caves. At that time，Peking Man had a lower and flat forehead，bold superciliary ridges，high cheekbones already walked straight-up，was capable of making tools，began production，and have his language. Then at 4 o'clockpmon December 2 of 1929， Pei Wen zhong,an anthropologist of China，discovered an intact skull of Peking Man，in a big cave on the north slope of Dragon Bone Hill at Zhoukoudian， and this Peking Man site was soon known globe wide
60萬年前，這裡平原遼闊，生長著虎、豹、鹿、牛、河狸等動物。為了躲避風雨和野獸的侵襲，北京猿人便存石灰岩的洞穴中棲身.北京猿人前額低平、眉骨粗壯、顴骨高凸，嘴巴前伸已能直立行走、製造工具、進行勞動，並有了語言。
The discovery of Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian is regarded as the most valuable contribution in the 20th century to paleoanthropology. It advanced human history for tens of thousands years earlier，and so far it is still the world's most intact，the tichest，and the most convincing remains of the primitive mans activities，which strongly proves that“man originated from apes" and which provides the most precious first-hand evidences for the study of human origin and evolution as well as for reproducing the life of the earliest man.
周口店北京猿人遺址的發現，被認為是20世紀古人類學研究中最具價值的貢獻。它將人類歷史的年代推前了數萬年，並且至今仍是目前全球發現最完整。最豐富、最具說服力的古人類活動遺存。它證實了“人是從猿變化而來的”這一事實，為研究人類的起源及其發展，為再現早期人類的生活面貌，提供了極為珍貴的第一手資料。
Apart from Peking Man Site ,around Zhoukoudian are also discovered about 20 other sites with fossils of New Cave IVian about 100000 years ago and fossils of Upper Cave Man about 18 U0 years ago .as well as fossils of other vertebrates. Together they form a natural museum of the history of human beings and other living things.
除北京猿人遺址外，在周口店還發現了距今約10萬年的“新洞人”化石和約1.8萬年前的“山頂洞人”化石以及其他脊椎動物化石遺址20多處，構成了一個天然的生物史和人類史“博物館”。
Zhoukoudian is known world wide as the home of Peking Man. In 1953，Zhoukoudian Museum was open to the public，and the site was brought under the state protection as a key historic site by the State Council.In l98";，UNESCO inscribed the Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian in the World Heritage List as a cultural heritage of the world.
周口店以“中國猿人之家”聞名於世。1953年，周口店遺址博物館對外開放;1961年，周口店遺址被國務院列為全國重點文物保護單位;1987年，聯合國教科文組織將周口店“北京人”遺址作為文化遺產列人《世界遺產名錄》。

周口店附近人類化石有三處，分別代表從直立人到今天的所有三個進化階段，即直立人、早期智人和晚期智人;六個地點都有舊石器，屬於舊石器文化發展的不同時期。在這樣一個範圍不大的地區內人類化石、舊石器時代文化遺物如此集中、內涵如此豐富多彩，實屬罕見，真不愧為地下寶庫。“北京人”頭蓋骨的發現，使周口店成為世界聞名的早期人類發祥地。在漫長的歷史歲月中，這裡曾生活著距今70萬年至20萬年的“北京人”、距今10萬年左右的“新洞人”和距今1.8萬年的“山頂洞人”。
