10 Second Trivia. The world’s highest peak, Mt. Everest is named for whom? A British surveyor, a New Zealand mountaineer, an American explorer or an Australian geographer. Sir George Everest or Everest was a British surveyor who helped map India but Mt. Everest is named for him.

10秒問答。世界最高峰珠穆朗瑪峰是以誰的名字命名的?英國測量員、新西蘭登山家、美國探險家或澳大利亞地理學家。喬治·埃佛勒斯峰爵士是一位幫助繪制印度地圖的英國測量員,但珠穆朗瑪峰是以他的名字命名的。

It was New Zealand Sir Edmund Hillary and Nepal’s Tenzing Norgay who became the first climbers recognized for reaching Everest’s summit. Since they did that in 1953, several thousand other climbers have reached the mountain top. Several hundred people have died on the mountain. That included 11 mountaineers who died in this year’s climbing season making it one of the deadliest seasons on Everest. May is considered the best time to climb the mountain because the weather’s usually a little better and the winds aren’t as extreme as in other months.

新西蘭的埃德蒙·希拉里爵士和尼泊爾的丹增·諾爾蓋成為第一批登上珠穆朗瑪峰的登山者。自1953年以來,已有數(shù)千名登山者登上了山頂。幾百人死在那座山上。其中包括11名登山者,他們在今年的登山季中死亡,使之成為珠穆朗瑪峰上最致命的季節(jié)之一。五月被認為是最好的登山時間,因為天氣通常會好一點,風也不像其他月份那么極端。

But a mountain guide told CNN that this year’s weather hasn’t been great and that it’s left a limited window of days that are good for climbing.

但一位登山向?qū)Ц嬖VCNN,今年的天氣并不好,適合登山的天數(shù)有限。

Combine that with overcrowding on the mountain, a number of inexperienced climbers, and some expedition companies that may not be prioritizing safety and you have the reasons why climbers say it’s been particularly dangerous in 2019. The Nepalese government issued a record number of permits this year to Everest climbers.

再加上山上的大量缺乏經(jīng)驗的登山者,以及一些探險公司可能不把安全放在首位,就有了登山運動員說2019年這里特別危險的原因。尼泊爾政府今年向攀登珠穆朗瑪峰的人發(fā)放了創(chuàng)紀錄的許可證。

Nepal is a poor country that benefits from tourism but its government blames the companies offering guided treks to the summit for the deaths.

尼泊爾是一個貧窮的國家,旅游業(yè)給該國帶來了好處,但尼泊爾政府將死亡歸咎于那些提供導游服務的公司。

Whoever’s responsible, the pictures of crowds in places where the human body simply can’t survive for long clearly show part of the problem.

不管誰該對此負責,在人體無法長期存活的地方拍攝的人群照片清楚地顯示了部分問題。
