A Weekend in the Mountains

A hike planned as an easy day out, and the weather that changes it.

Plans that change: běnlái … kěshì …, yuèláiyuè and the directional complements shàngqu, xiàlai. The weather vocabulary from the lists drives the story.

这个(zhège)周末(zhōumò),我(wǒ)和(hé)几个(jǐge)同事(tóngshì)去(qù)城市(chéngshì)外面(wàimian)的(de)山(shān)上(shàng)爬山(páshān)。本来(běnlái)我们(wǒmen)打算(dǎsuàn)早上(zǎoshang)八(bā)点(diǎn)出发(chūfā),下午(xiàwǔ)三(sān)点(diǎn)就(jiù)回来(huílai)。

上(shàng)山(shān)的(de)路(lù)比(bǐ)我们(wǒmen)想(xiǎng)的(de)要(yào)难(nán)走(zǒu)得(de)多(duō),我们(wǒmen)走(zǒu)一会儿(yíhuìr)就(jiù)得(děi)停下来(tíngxiàlái)休息(xiūxi)一下(yíxià)。

快(kuài)到(dào)山顶(shāndǐng)的(de)时候(shíhou),天(tiān)越来越(yuèláiyuè)黑(hēi),好像(hǎoxiàng)要(yào)下雨(xiàyǔ)了(le)。大家(dàjiā)商量(shāngliang)以后(yǐhòu),决定(juédìng)不(bú)上去(shàngqu)了(le),马上(mǎshàng)下(xià)山(shān)。

刚(gāng)走(zǒu)到(dào)半(bàn)山(shān)腰(yāo),雨(yǔ)就(jiù)开始(kāishǐ)下(xià)了(le)。路(lù)旁边(pángbiān)正好(zhènghǎo)有(yǒu)一(yí)个(ge)小(xiǎo)房子(fángzi),我们(wǒmen)在(zài)那儿(nàr)躲(duǒ)了(le)二十(èrshí)多(duō)分钟(fēnzhōng)。

雨(yǔ)停(tíng)以后(yǐhòu),山(shān)上(shàng)的(de)空气(kōngqì)特别(tèbié)新鲜(xīnxiān),远(yuǎn)一点儿(yìdiǎnr)的(de)风景(fēngjǐng)也(yě)非常(fēicháng)漂亮(piàoliang)。虽然(suīrán)没有(méiyǒu)爬(pá)到(dào)山顶(shāndǐng),大家(dàjiā)都(dōu)觉得(juéde)这(zhè)次(cì)出(chū)来(lái)很(hěn)值得(zhídé)。
