【译文】
Tibet is one of those places that most all adventure-oriented travelers want to visit at least once in their lives. It calls to them like some kind of mecca as a land of mystery, chaos, turmoil and excitement - all things that an adventure traveler looks for when choosing their next destination.
西藏是最多喜歡冒險的旅行者在其一生中至少一次要去的一地方之一．神秘的，紊亂的，混亂的，興奮的土地號召著他們-這些都是一個冒險旅行者在選擇下一個目的地所要尋找的．
Two things you must have, though, if you're going to plan a trip to Tibet, are patience and time. Getting around the country isn't quite as easy as it looks when you look at a road map. Rivers flood, rocks slide, avalanches and mudslides occur regularly. Buses break down, roads close, military checkpoints hinder your plans to hit that remote monastery. But, if you're looking for a true adventure, all of those things should make you salivate - not shy away from this incredible destination.
如果你準備計劃到西藏旅行，兩件東西你必須要有，那就是耐心和時間．當你在看著地圖的時候，旅行西絕不著看起來如此簡單．河流氾濫，巖石滑坡，雪崩和泥石流時時常發生．公共汽車損壞，道路封鎖，軍隊檢查站阻礙你到達遙遠的寺廟的計劃．但是，如果你正在尋找一個真正的冒險行動，所有這些事情都會讓你流涎三尺-不會放過這個難以置信的目的地．
Many choose to stay in Lhasa - an amazing example of two cultures colliding - and that can certainly be enough to fill a week of your time. But, should you decide to venture out of the capital, be prepared for hours - sometimes days - of delays, even if you're only traveling a couple hundred miles.
停留在西藏有很多選擇-一個令人詫異的兩種文化的碰撞-這會肯定可以滿足你一個星期的時間．但，你要決定在這個首都之外的地方冒險嗎？這樣要準備好些小時-好些天，即使你僅僅旅行兩百英里．
To relay just one of the many adventures I encountered on my two week trip... Our Land Cruiser was heading back to Lhasa from the famous Namtso Lake which is the world's highest salt water lake (at 4720 meters).
講述一下我很多的冒險中，在我兩個星期的旅行中遭遇的一次...我們的Land Cruiser（譯者注：豐田牌子的一種車）正從著名的世界上最高的鹽水湖（海拔4720米）纳木措湖返回拉薩．
We were descending from a 5000+ meter mountain pass on a rugged, unpaved road which ran alongside a river so swollen that our vehicle could have easily been swallowed by it without anyone ever noticing. Snow was falling and the switchbacked road was getting slippery. Every turn was harrowing - especially since the defrost was not functioning and our driver was forced to use a filthy rag to continuously clear the windshield. When we finally got to the bottom of the slope, he slammed on the brakes to avoid something and the car did not even slow. Apparently our brakes had been failing the whole way down. Luckily, we coasted safely into the nearest village. The next 8 hours were spent waiting for our car to be fixed, only to find out the part we needed was no where to be found and we were going to have to take the next public bus back to Lhasa. The saga doesn't really end there but you get the idea...
我們正從5000米以上的山脈下來，通過一條崎嶇不平的，沒有柏油的路，這條路沿著一條河水膨脹的河，我們的車很容易被河水吞沒，但甚至沒有一個人注意到．雪正在下，這條返回的崎嶇的路變得很滑．每一個轉彎都很痛苦-特別是化雪在擋風玻璃上，我們的司機被迫用一塊髒的破布不斷地清潔擋風玻璃．當我們到達斜波的底部時，他猛烈撞擊剎車器以預防汽車不靈．顯然，我們一路下來剎車器是不靈的．很幸運，在河邊行走的車安全進入最近的村莊．接著的8小時我們是在花時間等候我們的汽車維修，但哪裡都找不到我們想要的零件．我們不得不搭乘下一班去拉薩公共汽車．故事還沒有真正結束，但你已經知道個大概了... |
