655　Historical Points of Interest 历史景点

On a family vacation, we crossed Wyoming and visited several historical points of interest. The children were especially interested because they enjoyed the computer game “Oregon Trail,” which gives players a taste of the hardships the pioneers endured. We stopped at the famous South Pass to look at the wagon tracks still visible in the dirt. Squinting out over the desolate, wind-swept landscape, my daughter nodded and said grimly, “This is where my oxen always die.”

我们全家度假的时候，穿过怀俄明州，参观了一些历史景点。孩子们对此特别感兴趣，因为他们喜欢玩一个叫做“俄勒冈小径”的电脑游戏，体会到先驱者所遭遇到的艰难。我们在著名的南入口处停留，看看尘土里依稀可见的四轮马车的轨辙。我女儿眯着眼睛看着这片荒凉的、风扫似的景色，点点头，严肃地说：“这就是我的牛群经常死去的地方。”
