中国政府将在珠峰建造新的游客中心

The Chinese government is set to build a new visitorcentre at Mount Everest.

中国政府将在珠穆朗玛峰建造一个新的游客中心。

At present no such facility exists, even though tensof thousands of climbers visit the mountain everyyear.

即使每年有成千上万的登山者来攀登珠峰，但目前还没有这样的设施。

There are, however, better provisions on theNepalese side of the mountain, and so mostexpeditions currently start from there.

然而，在珠穆朗玛峰的尼泊尔一侧的设施则相对较好，所以目前大多数攀爬都是从那里开始的。

 

 

The journey to the Nepalese base camp is perilous. It involves landing on an airstrip (which isalso a road) at the end of which is a cliff face.

去尼泊尔营地的旅程是危险的。它包括在飞机跑道(这也是一条路)上降落，而跑道的末端是一个悬崖。

This makes it impossible to 'go around' - so if the pilot makes a mistake on the approach, norecovery is possible. For this reason, pilots must be very experienced and specially trained forlanding.

这使得它不可能“绕过”--所以如果飞行员的路线出了错，是无法补救的。因此，飞行员必须非常有经验并且经过特别训练才能降落。

The new facility will undoubtedly encourage more tourists to attempt the climb from theChinese side and will avoid the need to make that dangerous journey.

这一新的设施无疑将鼓励更多的游客尝试从中国一侧攀登，并将避免做出进行危险旅程的需要。

When completed in 2019, the centre in Gangkar will include access for emergency helicopters, amedical centre, shops, a hotel, and a museum.

在2019年完工后，这一位于Gangkar的中心将包括紧急直升机、医疗中心、商店、酒店和博物馆。
