SECTION 2

Hi everyone, welcome to the Snow Centre.

大家好，欢迎来到Snow中心。

My name's Annie.

我是安妮。

I hope you enjoyed the bus trip from the airport - we've certainly got plenty of snow today!

希望大家会享受这段从机场出发的巴士旅程——今天的雪已经下得很大了。

Well, you've come to New Zealand's premier snow and ski centre, and we've a whole load of activities for you during your week here.

您来到的是新西兰首屈一指的滑雪中心，在这一周的时间里，我们为您安排了很多活动。

Most visitors come here for the cross-country skiing, where you're on fairly flat ground for most of the time, rather than going down steep mountainsides.

大多数游客来这里是为了越野滑雪，在这里，大部分滑雪路线经过的不是陡峭的山路，而是相对平坦的路面。

There are marked trails, but you can also leave these and go off on your own and that's an experience not to be missed.

这有被标好的路径，但您也可以不用理会，走自己的路，这是一个不能错过的体验。

You can go at your own speed - it's great aerobic exercise if you really push yourself, or if you prefer you can just glide gently along and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

可以按照自己的速度来——如果您能前进（速度比较快），它将是一项非常好的有氧运动，或者如果您喜欢慢慢滑的话，您可以享受沿途美丽的风景。

This afternoon, you'll be going on a dog-sled trip.

今天下午，您将进行一场狗拉雪橇之旅。

You may have seen our dogs on TV recently racing in the winter sled festival.

您最近可能已经在电视上看到过我们冬季雪橇节的狗狗比赛。

If you want, you can have your own team for the afternoon and learn how to drive them, following behind our leader on the trail.

如果您愿意的话，下午您可以拥有自己的队伍，并跟随在我们的领队后面学习如何驾驭它们。

Or if you'd prefer, you can just sit back in the sled and enjoy the ride as a passenger.

或者如果您喜欢，您可以作为乘客坐在雪橇上来享受这段旅程。

At the weekend, we have the team relay event, and you're all welcome to join in.

在周末，我们会有团队接力活动，欢迎您的加入。

We have a local school coming along, and a lot of the teachers are taking part too.

有一所当地的学校要来，并且很多老师也会参加。

Participation rather than winning is the main focus, and there's a medal for everyone who takes part.

我们更注重参与，而不是获胜，并且每名参与者都会获得一块奖牌。

Participants are in teams of two to four, and each team must complete four laps of the course.

参赛者会被分为两到四人一组，每组必须完成四圈。

For your final expedition, you'll head off to Mount Frenner wearing a pair of special snow shoes which allow you to walk on top of the snow.

您的最后一次探险将需要穿着一双特殊的雪鞋前往弗伦纳山，雪鞋方便您在雪地行走。

This is an area where miners once searched for gold, though there are very few traces of their work left now.

矿工曾经在这片区域搜索过黄金，不过现在他们工作的痕迹已经基本消失了。

When the snow melts in summer, the mountain slopes are carpeted in flowers and plants.

夏天冰雪融化时，山坡上长满了花草。

It's a long ascent, though not too steep, and walkers generally take a couple of days to get to the summit and return.

这是一个很长的上坡路，虽然不是很陡峭，但步行者通常需要几天时间才能登顶并返回。

You'll spend the night in our hut half-way up the mountain.

你将在我们半山腰上的小屋里过夜。

That's included in your package for the stay.

这已经包括在您的住宿费用里了。

It's got cooking facilities, firewood and water for drinking.

这有烹饪设施，木柴和饮用水。

For washing, we recommend you use melted snow, though, to conserve supplies.

不过，我们建议您使用融化的雪来清洗衣物以节省供给。

We can take your luggage up on our snowmobile for you for just ten dollars a person.

我们可以用我们的雪地摩托帮你把行李搬上去，每人只要十美元。

The hut has cooking facilities so you can make a hot meal in the evening and morning, but you need to take your own food.

小屋有烹饪设施，所以您可以早晚做一顿热饭，但您需要自己带食物。

The weather on Mount Frenner can be very stormy.

弗伦纳山上有时会有很大的暴风雨。

In that case, stay in the hut - generally the storms don't last long.

在那种情况下，待在小屋里——通常暴风雨不会持续太久。

Don't stress about getting back here to the centre in time to catch the airport bus - they'll probably not be running anyway.

不要赶着回到这个中心以赶上机场巴士——他们很可能无法运行。

We do have an emergency locator beacon in the hut but only use that if it's a real emergency, like if someone's ill or injured.

我们在小屋里有一个紧急定位标，但只有在真正紧急的情况下才能使用，比如有人生病或受伤。

Now, let me tell you something about the different ski trails you can follow during your stay here.

现在，让我来为您介绍一些逗留期间可以尝试的不同滑雪道。

Highland Trail's directly accessible from where we are now.

从我们现在的位置可以直接到达高地小径。

This trail's been designed to give first-timers an experience they'll enjoy regardless of their age or skill, but it's also ideal for experts to practise their technique.

这条小径是为新手设计的，无论他们的年龄和技能如何，他们都能享受（这种体验），但对于专家来说，这也是他们练习技术的理想选择。

Then there's Pine Trail ... if you're nervous about skiing, leave this one to the experts!

接下来还有松树小径……如果您对滑雪感到紧张，就把这（条路）留给高手吧!

You follow a steep valley looking right down on the river below - scary!

沿着一个陡峭的山谷往下看，正好能看到下面的河——太可怕了！

But if you've fully mastered the techniques needed for hills, it's great fun.

但是如果您已经完全掌握了坡道所需要的技巧，那就非常有趣了。

Stony Trail's a good choice once you've got a general idea of the basics.

一旦您对基础方法有了一个大致的了解，石质小径是一个不错的选择。

There are one or two tricky sections, but nothing too challenging.

那里会有一两处区域比较困难，但没有太大的挑战性。

There's a shelter half-way where you can sit and take a break and enjoy the afternoon sunshine.

半路上有一个休息区，您可以坐在那里休息，享受午后的阳光。

And finally, Loser's Trail.

最后是失败者小径。

This starts off following a gentle river valley but the last part is quite exposed so the snow conditions can be challenging - if it's snowing or windy, check with us before you set out to make sure the trail's open that day.

它从一个温和的河谷开始，但是最后一部分是完全暴露的，如果下雪或刮风，雪情可能很有挑战性的。您在出发前务必和我们确认当天小路是否开放。

Right, so now if you'd like to follow me, we'll get started ...

好了，现在如果您想跟我来，我们就开始……
