深沟探险

今天是元宵佳节，我和爸爸妈妈回到了老家山西浮山县看望奶奶。那里地处黄土高坡，满眼看到的尽是一道道的沟壑。明明只是一道道深沟为什么却偏起名叫浮山呢？在片刻的疑惑之后我恍然明白：奶奶家已身处浮山的最高处，几乎已在山顶，四面望去岂非就只见山沟不见山了。

Today is the Lantern Festival. My parents and I went back to our hometown, Fushan County, Shanxi Province to visit my grandma. It is located on the high loess slope, and there are many gullies in it. Why is it called Fushan, which is just a deep ditch? After a moment's doubt, I suddenly understood: Grandma's house is at the top of the Fushan mountain, almost at the top of the mountain. I can only see the mountain in the ditch when I look around.

奶奶家的门前是一片很宽阔的场地，场地的外沿就是沟得边了。那里长满了酸枣树和高大的荆棘，站在边上可以看到下面一层楼那么深的地方是一大片平地，现在上面已荒芜长满了荆棘杂草，听奶奶说以前那下面是窑洞，也住着人家呢。一位有下面这大片的平地，所以看不到沟下面是什么样，妈妈说从前面一点地方有小路可以下去的，我赶快要求爸爸妈妈带我下去探险。爸爸因为山路太陡，找借口说是他太累了，实际上还不是因为胆怯不敢下去。就是因为他我们才没照上山路中的照片！

Grandma's front door is a very wide field, the outer edge of the field is the edge of the ditch. There are wild jujube trees and tall brambles. Standing on the edge, you can see that the place as deep as the next floor is a large flat area. Now it is barren and overgrown with brambles and weeds. My grandmother said that there were caves and people living there before. There is a large flat land below, so I can't see what's under the ditch. My mother said that there is a path to go down from the front. I asked my father and mother to take me to explore as soon as possible. Dad, because the mountain road is too steep, makes an excuse to say that he is too tired, but actually he is not afraid to go down because of timidity. It's because of him that we didn't take the picture on the mountain road!

探险开始！山路又窄又陡，因为害怕我的腿开始发抖了。妈妈说给我讲了个小故事：庄子带他的一群学生过河，他先熄灭了灯笼，然后对大家说：“你们大家握着我的手过桥。”等他们慢慢拉着手都过了桥后，庄子点亮了灯，大家看到桥下有十几只大鳄鱼，学生们一个个都吓得瘫倒在地上。然后妈妈说恐惧由心生，如果你不看不想就不会那么害怕了。听了妈妈的话我镇定住心神，不一会我果然不再那么害怕了。

Adventure begins! The road was narrow and steep, for fear that my legs began to shake. My mother told me a little story: Chuang Tzu took a group of his students across the river. He first put out the lanterns, and then said to everyone, "you all hold my hand and cross the bridge." After they slowly pulled their hands across the bridge, Chuang Tzu lit the light. We saw a dozen big crocodiles under the bridge. Each of the students fell to the ground in fear. Then mom said that fear comes from the heart. If you don't see it or don't want it, you won't be so afraid. After listening to my mother's words, I calmed down and soon I was not so afraid.

在山路较陡的一段羊肠小道上，不知哪个好心人用铁锹挖了一个个台阶，别看这几个小小的台阶用处还真大呢。走着走着只听“哗……”的一声，我不小心滑倒了，“完了……我可能再看不到这个世界了。”还好天不亡我，正好一个台阶挡住了我下滑的脚，我被吓出了一身冷汗，真是太感谢那位好心人了。

On the steep path of the mountain path, I do not know which good man has dug up the steps with shovel. Walking, just listening to "wow..." I slipped and fell, "it's over I may never see the world again. " Fortunately, the weather didn't kill me, just a step blocked my sliding foot, I was scared out of a cold sweat, I really thank that kind person.

很快我们下到沟底，这里并不像我想的流水潺潺，倒是有一小块一小块的梯田种满了庄稼，不适合种庄稼的地方就栽了好些的树。妈妈说叔叔伯伯们要种庄稼，锄草，施肥，等收获的时候还必须下来把这些庄稼一点点的背上去，每天不知要下多少次的沟呢。想想下来时那陡峭而崎岖的羊肠小道，我的心里充满了敬畏：：家乡的人们好伟大，劳动人民为了生存，与自然进行了怎样的搏斗呀！

Soon we went down to the bottom of the ditch. It was not like the murmur of the water I thought. Instead, there were small terraces full of crops. Many trees were planted in places that were not suitable for crops. My mother said that my uncles and uncles had to plant crops, hoe and fertilize. When they were harvesting, they had to come down and carry these crops little by little. I don't know how many times a day they had to go down the ditch. When I think about the steep and rugged catwalk, my heart is full of awe: the people in my hometown are so great, how the working people fight with nature to survive!

这次的探险结束了，可家乡人民的不畏艰险，勤劳顽强的精神却永远留在了我的心理。我也要继承他们这种优良的品质，将来无论遇到什么困难我也要不畏艰险，披荆斩棘，勇往直前。

The expedition is over, but the people of my hometown are not afraid of difficulties, but the spirit of hard work and tenacity remains in my mind forever. I also want to inherit their fine quality. No matter what difficulties I will encounter in the future, I will not be afraid of difficulties, and go forward bravely.
