10秒快速问答。这些地标性建筑中，哪些也被称为珠穆朗玛峰(Chomolungma)? Mount Everest，中国的长城，艾尔斯岩，或纳库鲁湖。珠穆朗玛峰(Mount Everest)在藏语中意为“世界之母”。数百名登山者在试图登顶或从世界最高峰返回途中死亡。

And the 2019 climbing season which wrapped up in May was the deadliest one in four years. There were 11 deaths on the mountain this spring. In addition to difficult weather, inexperienced climbers, inexperienced companies that brought them in and overcrowding on the mountain were all widely blamed for the deaths.

2019年5月结束的登山季是四年来最致命的一次。今年春天这座山上有11人死亡。恶劣的天气、没有经验的登山者、没有经验的登山公司以及山上过于拥挤都被普遍认为是造成死亡的原因。

In fact, some climbers criticized Nepal for allowing anyone who paid $11,000 to get a climbing permit although the cost swells to tens of thousands more once you factor in guides and equipment.

事实上，一些登山者批评尼泊尔允许任何支付1.1万美元的人获得登山许可证，但如果把导游和装备考虑在内，费用将涨至数万美元以上

Nepal is among the poorest county’s in the world and tourism, including those who travel there to attempt Everest is a major industry. After this year though, a panel was assembled to discuss the deaths on the mountain.

尼泊尔是世界上最贫穷的国家之一，旅游业、包括那些试图攀登珠穆朗玛峰的人是尼泊尔主要的产业。然而，今年之后，一个小组聚集在一起讨论了山上的死亡事件。

It was made up of government officials, expert climbers and climbing agencies and it just recently gave its list of recommendations. Among them are requiring the climbers themselves to have training and experience at high altitudes.

该小组是由政府官员、专业攀岩者和攀岩机构组成，它最近刚刚给出了建议清单。其中包括要求登山者自己在高海拔地区接受训练和经验。

They wouldn’t be able to get an Everest permit before that. They’d also have to send in a certificate that says they’re in good health and good shape and they’d have to bring a trained Nepali guide with them. The panel also suggests raising the fee to climb Chomolungma to $35,000.

否则，无法获得珠峰许可证。他们还必须提交一份证明，证明身体健康，身体状况良好，还必须带上一名训练有素的尼泊尔导游。该委员会还建议将登珠穆朗玛峰的费用提高到3.5万美元。

There’d be additional rules concerning the tour companies that offer trips to the summit and a Nepalese tourism official who was interviewed by the Reuters News Agency says the government will make the new rules the law of the land.

此外，还将对提供旅游服务的旅游公司制定新的规定。路透社采访的一名尼泊尔旅游官员表示，政府将把新规定变成尼泊尔的法律。
