Walk In The Woods, A(ISBN=9780767902526) 下载 kindle 电子版 pdf mobi pmlz 夸克云 caj

Back in America after twenty years in Britain, Bill Bryson

decided to reacquaint himself with his native country by walking

the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail, which stretches from Georgia to

Maine. The AT offers an astonishing landscape of silent forests and

sparkling lakes--and to a writer with the comic genius of Bill

Bryson, it also provides endless opportunities to witness the

majestic silliness of his fellow human beings.

For a start there's

the gloriously out-of-shape Stephen Katz, a buddy from Iowa along

for the walk. Despite Katz's overwhelming desire to find cozy

restaurants, he and Bryson eventually settle into their stride, and

while on the trail they meet a bizarre assortment of hilarious

characters. But A Walk in the Woods is more than just a

laugh-out-loud hike. Bryson's acute eye is a wise witness to this

beautiful but fragile trail, and as he tells its fascinating

history, he makes a moving plea for the conservation of America's

last great wilderness. An adventure, a comedy, and a celebration,

A Walk in the Woods is destined to become a modern classic

of travel literature.

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.”
