The longest continuous footpath in the world, the Appalachian Trail stretches along the East Coast of the United States, from Georgia to Maine, through some of the most arresting and celebrated landscapes in America. At the age of forty-four, in the company of his friend Stephen Katz (last seen in the bestselling Neither Here nor There ), Bill Bryson set off to hike through the vast tangled woods which have been frightening sensible people for three hundred years. Ahead lay almost 2,200 miles of remote mountain wilderness filled with bears, moose, bobcats, rattlesnakes, poisonous plants, disease-bearing tics, the occasional chuckling murderer and - perhaps most alarming of all - people whose favourite pastime is discussing the relative merits of the external-frame backpack. Facing savage weather, merciless insects, unreliable maps and a fickle companion whose profoundest wish was to go to a motel and watch The X-Files, Bryson gamely struggled through the wilderness to achieve a lifetime's ambition - not to die outdoors.

評分户外旅行的佳作,处处透着睿智、幽默、犀利以及惊人的博学,从阿巴拉契亚小道延伸开去,堪称美国近代自然史的小百科。可惜翻译实在不敢恭维,语句近乎直译,生硬拗口,有些句子又长又别扭让人差点一口气提不上来,还有错别字,糟蹋了一本好书。接力出版社,望再接再厉。
評分 評分大概是三个多月以前翻开这本书,与我常看的儿童文学类的原著不同,这本书的用词比较生涩,加之大段大段科普类的描写,让人兴致索然,每次翻开看不了三页词典都要查好几次,于是权当睡前读物,每天就着词典艰难地翻上几页。 但是,随着作者的行径逐渐深入,我也开始慢慢跟上了山...
