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.
这个周末,我和几个同事去城市外面的山上爬山。本来我们打算早上八点出发,下午三点就回来。
上山的路比我们想的要难走得多,我们走一会儿就得停下来休息一下。
快到山顶的时候,天越来越黑,好像要下雨了。大家商量以后,决定不上去了,马上下山。
刚走到半山腰,雨就开始下了。路旁边正好有一个小房子,我们在那儿躲了二十多分钟。
雨停以后,山上的空气特别新鲜,远一点儿的风景也非常漂亮。虽然没有爬到山顶,大家都觉得这次出来很值得。
