人生就像一次爬山，道路纵然有万般的艰难险阻，我们都要用毅力、决心来克服困难，勇攀高峰，那样才能领略成功滋味和世间的美好！正如李白所说的“行路难！行路难！多歧路，今安在？乘风破浪会有时，直挂云帆济沧海。”
“You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain， but you can"t see it before you reach the top.”
Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up， my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together， my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always stressed to me，“You should have objectives and capacity like the mountain.”
This has largely influenced my life. Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed， we couldn"t have had enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I believe mountaineering is really beneficial. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep contemplation1 as well as develop my patience. I loved scaling mountains， to get away from the noise and pollution of the city， and breathe the fresh air.
One time we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing， I enjoyed the fresh air， the birds" singing， and the beautiful dances of butterflies；but as time passed， I got a pain in both of my legs. At that moment， I wanted to quit climbing. Actually， I hated it at that moment， but my father said to me，“Spring is a season when everything comes to life again. The mountain and fields where we are standing are embroidered2 with flowers and trees. You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain， but you can"t see it before you reach the top. You can always enjoy the scenes of many waterfalls3 and countless peaks and valleys at the top of the mountain， but you can"t when you are halfway up. Only there at the top， can you embrace4 all of those things， just like in life.”
At that time， I was too young to understand his thoughts， but after that， I got new hope and confidence. Finally， I found myself standing at the top of the mountain. And there， I could see the whole of the sky， which was as clear as crystal.

“你总能在山顶欣赏到美丽的天空，但在抵达山顶之前你将无法看到美景。”
每当夕阳西下、蓝天显现时，父亲和我常常会攀爬我家附近的那座山。在一起爬山的过程中，我和父亲经常攀谈，从他的经历中我学到了许多。他总是强调，“你应该像大山一样，有远大的目标和宽广的胸襟！”
与父亲一起爬山的经历深深地影响着我的一生。要不是我和父亲都喜欢爬山，我们不可能有这么多相处的时间，因为我父亲非常忙碌。我相信爬山对我来说是大有裨益的。它使我有时间和父亲交谈，它使我沉思，它能培养我的耐心。我喜欢爬山，它让我远离尘嚣，呼吸新鲜空气。
有一次，父亲和我攀爬一座非常高的山峰。这对当时只有十岁的我来说，的确是个挑战。在刚开始攀登的前几个小时里，我还享受着的新鲜的空气，鸟儿的歌唱以及蝴蝶的翩翩起舞。但是，随着时间的延伸，我开始感到双腿疼痛。那时，我想放弃爬山。事实上，我当时几乎开始厌恶爬山了。但是，父亲对我说：“在春天，万物复苏，这个山间和田野都布满了花草树木。这时的天空非常得美丽，但是如果爬不到顶峰，你将永远也看不到。在山顶，你可以享受瀑布以及层峦叠嶂的山峰所组成的美丽景象，但在半山腰就停滞不前，你将永远也看不到。只有在顶峰，才能领略一切的美景，这正如我们的人生。”
当时，我还太小，没能领悟到父亲话语的涵义，但听到这些，我又有了新的希望和信心。最终，我登上了顶峰。在那里，我看到了整个天空，如水晶般清澈。
