2024考研英语同源外刊3月:全女性户外活动群体的兴起

It was a little after midnight when I heard footsteps approaching my bivvy bag. Normally when wild camping, a sound like this would cause me to sink further into my sleeping bag, hoping I wouldn’t be seen. Yet that night, sleeping on a hillside on the western escarpment of the Chilterns in Buckinghamshire, there was no need – or indeed chance – to remain hidden. I was surrounded by six other women in bivvies, giving a whole new meaning to the phrase “girl’s night out”.

午夜刚过，我听到脚步声走近我的露营帐篷。通常在野外露营时，像这样的声音会让我进一步钻进睡袋，希望自己不会被发现。然而那天晚上，我睡在白金汉郡奇尔特恩斯西部悬崖的山坡上，没有必要—或者说没有机会—继续隐藏。我被另外六个露营的女人包围着，这赋予了“女生之夜”一个全新的含义。

As an adventurer and ardent solo wild camper, I have for more than 15 years been voluntarily plunging myself into the wilderness – in the UK and overseas – alone. I have never needed company on adventures. I’m not afraid of the dark, or worried about going for a pee in the middle of the night. Sleeping out solo doesn’t scare me. But wild camping in a group – especially a group of other women – terrified me.

作为一名冒险家和狂热的独自野外露营者，15年来，我一直自愿独自一人走进英国和海外的荒野之中。我在冒险中从不需要同伴。我不害怕黑暗，也不担心半夜去上厕所。一个人睡并不会吓到我。但是和一群人一起野外露营——尤其是一群女人——让我害怕。

Yet as soon as I arrived I was welcomed into the fold. I was handed a plate of food, offered a drink and included in the conversation. There was no campfire – that would have been against the wild campers’ etiquette – but I felt unexpectedly warmed by their presence. “Adventure Queens began as a single Facebook group,” says Nadia Weigh, the current community co-lead. “We wanted to create a space for women to share ideas and exchange tips, but it has grown.” Now there are 13.000 community members, 60 volunteers, 25 regional groups, three international ones and a mums’ group too. Not bad for something that began as a night out on a hillside for a small group of friends.

然而，我一到这里就受到了欢迎。他们给了我一盘食物，请我喝了一杯，并让我加入了谈话。没有营火—这虽然违反了野外露营者的礼仪—但他们的出现让我感到出乎意料的温暖。“冒险女王起初只是一个Facebook群组，”现任社区联合负责人Nadia weight说。“我们本想为女性创造一个分享想法和交流技巧的空间，但现在它已经发展起来了。”现在有13000名社区成员，60名志愿者，25个地区小组，3个国际小组，还有一个妈妈小组。对于开始于一小群朋友在山坡上外出的夜晚来说，这已经很不错了。
