China will limit the number of visitors to Everest as a mass clean-up begins on the world's highest mountain to rid it of rubbish

随着世界最高峰珠穆朗玛峰大规模清理工作的开始，将限制游客数量

China will cut the number of climbers attempting to scale Mount Everest from the north by a third this year as part of plans for a major clean-up on the world's highest peak.

作为世界最高峰大清理计划的一部分，今年，将把试图从北麓攀登珠穆朗玛峰的人数减少三分之一。

The total number of climbers attempting to reach the summit the world's highest peak at 8,850 metres (29,035ft) from the north will be limited to fewer than 300 and the climbing season restricted to spring, state media reports said.

据官方媒体报道，试图登顶这座海拔8850米(合29035英尺)世界最高峰的登山者人数将被限制在300人以内，登山季节将限制在春季。

Parts of Everest are in China and Nepal. Each year, around 60,000 climbers and guides visit the Chinese north side of the mountain, which China refers to by its Tiban name, Mount Qomolangma, but few actually try to scale it.

珠穆朗玛峰位于和尼泊尔边境线上。每年大约有6万名登山者和导游前往位于珠穆朗玛峰北侧，但很少有人真正尝试攀登。

China has set up stations to sort, recycle and break down rubbish from the mountain, which includes cans, plastic bags, stove equipment, tents and oxygen tanks.

已经建立了垃圾分类、回收和分解站点，处理山上产生的垃圾，包括易拉罐、塑料袋、炉灶设备、帐篷和氧气罐。

On the Nepalese side, mountaineering expedition organisers have begun sending huge rubbish bags with climbers during the spring climbing season to collect refuse that then can be winched by helicopters back to the base camp.

在尼泊尔一侧，登山探险队的组织者已经开始在春季登山季节向登山者配送大垃圾袋，以收集垃圾，然后用直升机将垃圾运回大本营。

Everest claims multiple victims each year, often in the 'death zone' above 26,246ft (8,000 metres), where the air is thinnest.

珠穆朗玛峰每年都会有遇难者，通常在海拔26246英尺(8000米)以上的“死亡区”，那里的空气最稀薄。

In 2017, 648 people reached the top of Everest, according to the non-profit Himalayan Database.

Six people were confirmed to have died on the mountain that year, one of them on the north side.

根据非盈利的喜马拉雅数据库，在2017年，有648人登顶珠穆朗玛峰，有六人被证实死于这座山上，其中一人死于北侧。

Mount Everest has become the world's highest rubbish dump with increasing numbers of big-spending climbers turning it into a 'disgusting eyesore', experts claim.

专家称，珠穆朗玛峰已成为世界上海拔最高的垃圾堆，越来越多出手阔绰的登山者把它变成了“令人作呕的地方”。

Fluorescent tents,  climbing equipment, empty gas canisters and even human excrement litter the well-trodden route to the summit of the 29,029ft (8,848-metre) peak after being dumped by people paying little attention to the environment.

日光灯帐篷、登山设备、空气罐，甚至人体排泄物，在通往海拔29,029英尺(8,848米)峰顶的路上随处可见，登山者无视对环境造成的影响。

As the number of climbers on the mountain has soared - at least 600 people have scaled the world's highest peak so far this year alone - the problem has worsened.

随着登珠峰的人数激增——仅今年就有至少600人登上了这座世界最高峰——这个问题变得更加严重。

Meanwhile, melting glaciers caused by global warming are exposing trash that has accumulated on the mountain since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made the first successful summit 65 years ago.

与此同时，全球变暖导致的冰川融化，正在暴露自埃德蒙·希拉里和丹增·诺盖65年前首次成功登顶以来堆积在珠峰上的垃圾。

Too conquer Mount Everest was a once in a lifetime experience, but it's been conquered so many times there really doesn't seem to be any huge achievement in doing it now.

征服珠穆朗玛峰是毕生难忘的经历，但是它已经被征服了很多次了，现在看来登上珠峰并不算什么巨大的成就。

Should be a heavily enforced rule if it goes up it comes back. If you leave it up there you're going back to get it. Shameful behaviour. If you can't climb it respectfully then don't climb it at all.

谁扔的垃圾，谁负责捡回来。如果你不能文明登山，那就别上去。

Sarah the nurse, Ohio USA, United States, 9 hours ago

The climbers have nick names for the dead people. I've always found that sad and horrible. Nobody should be allowed to climb it IMO

我一直觉得攀登珠峰是很可怕的。在我看来，应该禁止攀登。

I've never understood why they can't bring the dead people down. So many manage to go up, surely some could bring the dead back on a sled.

我一直不理解他们为什么不把遇难者带下来。那么多人都上去了，他们可以用雪橇把遗体拉回来。

CarolO, Bradford, 8 hours ago

not sure why the dead bodies need to come down really - maybe they wouldn't have wanted to?

为什么非要把遗体带下来——也许他们不想下来呢?

Severely limit the amount of climbers to 1 thousand climbers. Charge each climber an environmental tax that will be used to clean up that mess.

将登山人数严格限制在1000人以内。向每位登山者征收环境税，用于清理这些垃圾。
