探险运动和人类历史的口语话题

　　探险总是能勾起人们的幻想，还有无尽的欲望。翻过下一座山就会有令人激动，想看到下一步又将会是怎样的神奇。口语话题就来说说让人们感叹不已的探险。

The idea of adventure has always captured the imagination. The idea that just over the next hill there will be excitement and mystery is a big part of what makes us human. This is just as true of ancient times as it is today. Famous explorers set out in small boats or journeyed across immense deserts and oceans. Early explorers like Christopher Columbus or Zheng He traveled to foreign places for the glory of their nations. More importantly, they set out to test themselves against the forces of nature and the pursue of knowledge. Other explorers today do the same thing. People are going to space in pursuit of the last frontier or seeking in the depths of science for new knowledge. Most people, in their daily lives, do not have the opportunity to truly test themselves in these ways. Modern living has given them the opportunity, however, with adventuring events. The idea of adventuring events is not new, yet it is only now gaining in popularity. People today can go mountain climbing or deep sea diving. If they have enough money, they can even go into space with the opening of the new industry of space tourism. These different kinds of adventuring events are open to groups as well as to individuals. For example, many companies are using survival schools as a means to reinforce the concepts of leadership and team work. All of these methods are an attempt to inject adventure in lives that have become increasing dull due to the technologies of a modern world.

探险老是能勾起人们的幻想。翻过下一座山就会有令人激动跟感到到神奇，这样的主意是人类与生俱来的。这些都亘古不变得真理。著名的探险家们坐着小船动身探险，有的甚至穿梭了无垠的沙漠和大陆。早期的探险家例如克里斯多佛?哥伦布与郑和都是为了祖国的名誉而到异国探险。更重要的是，他们不畏大自然的力量，为了追求真谛而奋勇向前，挑战自己。今天的探险家们也做着同样的事件。人们奔向太空去追赶最后的边境或为寻求新知在科学的深海中探索。在日常生活中，大多数人并不是真的有机会可以用这些方式来挑衅自我。然而，古代生涯已经给人们供应了加入探险运动的机遇。探险活动切实并不新鲜，只是直到最近它才变得盛行罢了。今天的人们可以去登山，能够去深海潜水。随着太空游览业的突起，如果他们有足够的钱，就还可以去太空旅行。不同种类的探险活动对团体和个人都是开放的。例如，良多公司用生存学校作为强化领导才干和团队配合观点的方式。所有这些方法都试图将冒险注入咱们因古代科技发展而变得越来越枯燥的生活之中。
