A Hard Journey 艰辛之旅

My sister was fond of traveling. Ever since graduation， she had been determined to organize a trip to an old temple. Since transporting fare was expensive， she decided to walk there though I preferred to take a car. Her attitude is always stubborn. Finally， I agreed. After we prepared everything， we began our trip.

Our journey was along a river flowing from a high altitude. Our pace was slow because the river frequently had many sharp bends through deep valleys， where the water seemed to boil. The surrounding path is arduous， lined with rugged. We moved slowly like worms inched along， even not daring to gasp for breath. At night， I put my head on my pillow—a parcel of wool coats， and lay beneath the stars. Moving away from the noise and bustle， I found the sky so beautiful！

After I returned home， I recorded the travel experience in my diary， though it is a hard but incredibly important journey.

我的妹妹很喜歡旅行。自从毕业，她就下定决心计划一次去往古庙的旅行。考虑到路费昂贵，她决定步行去古庙。尽管我更喜欢乘车去，因为她的态度坚决，最后我也同意了。我们准备好了所需东西，就开始了旅程。

我们的旅程沿着一条从高海拔处流下来的河流前行。但我们的步行速度很慢，因为当流经深邃的峡谷时，这条河流急转弯很多，急湍的河水似乎都沸腾起来。周围的路崎岖，我们像蠕虫一样缓慢前行，甚至不敢大口喘气。到了晚上，我把头枕在一包羊毛衣服做的枕头上，躺在星空下，远离喧嚣。我发现夜空是如此的美丽！

回家后，我将此次旅行的经历记录在日记里，这对我来说是一次虽艰苦却意义非凡的旅行。
