英译中作品：   

Damp sand crunches underneath my running shoes, water snakes its way elegantly through a sea of rocks and the first rays of sun glimmer through the leafy trees. Summer has finally arrived and I am making the best of this sunny morning by going on a refreshing little river run. The route takes me seven kilometers along the river Sernf from Schwanden to Engi in Glarnerland (Canton of Glarus), Switzerland. 

夏日的清晨展开了一幅美丽的画卷：林间沙路清净无染、岩间涓流曲折婉转，金色初阳在树影间浮泛，四处虫鸣唧唧、熏风习习。此时开启一场两栖越野跑，是何等的欢快惬意！我在瑞士格拉鲁斯州(Canton of Glarus)内规划了一条七公里的线路，从 Schwanden 出发，沿 Sernf 河奔跑，最终抵达 Glarnerland 的恩吉。

My gaze is fixed on the ground. Rocks, tree trunks and alternating patches of sun and shade demand my full attention. I have to decide in the blink of an eye where to place my feet next. I am far away from any tarmac roads, in the middle of a stream. The trail runs right up the river bed, higher and higher, towards the source.

一路上，苍郁的古木、嶙峋的怪石在斑驳的光影之间更显奇丽，我时刻观察地面，迅速判断落足位置。一条潺潺的溪涧出现在面前，于是我涉足而入，踏着河床溯流而上，蓦然回首之间，但觉泉声悦耳，水流清冽，疲惫顿消。地势越走越高，忽而柳暗花明，源头已近在目前。

I run for the sake of running, not to get faster or achieve any goals. It is about living in the moment, overcoming obstacles and enjoying nature. Sometimes speed and endurance are required, other times it is skill, strength and concentration. Over hill and dale, as far as my feet will carry me. River running is fun; it’s a million miles away from the monotony of tracks and tarmac roads.

我以一颗纯粹的心投入两栖越野跑，忘却了速度、抛弃了杂念，只是专心于披荆斩棘、跨险越阻；留恋于幽幽翠障、清清山泉。越野跑不仅考验速度和耐力，还需要极致的专注、灵活的技巧和充沛的体力，如此双足所到之处，无论山高水深，都能如履平地。两栖越野跑的无穷趣味，怎是稀松平常的赛道可比？

A good shoe is absolutely vital for river running. It is the connection between me and the constantly changing terrain. I find the RIVERSIDE model is ideal for demanding river trails. Even when completely wet, this shoe provides optimum support and the protective cushioning you need for big jumps. The CANYON RAVE, with its more airy construction, is the go-to shoe for easier, more leisurely river trails. The rest of my kit is made up of breathable and fast-drying trail running apparel.

一双好鞋是两栖越野跑的利器，能帮助我征服峥嵘崎岖的地形。RIVERSIDE系列鞋款是两栖越野跑的佳伴，即使深陷低洼水路，仍提供优越的支撑力与缓震性能，哪怕是大步流星也无后顾之忧；CANYON RAVE鞋款透气性更强，适合在溪涧中悠闲慢跑。另外，我还穿着透气速干的运动服装。

River running is a challenging activity, where endurance, strength and coordination are tested in a variety of ways. You can vary the difficulty of a run simply by varying the terrain or changing your speed. River running novices are advised to begin at a leisurely pace, or start with a river hike, to get used to the new environment. Like in the mountains, the potential risks and hazards must also be taken into consideration when river running. But if you are properly equipped and well prepared, there’s nothing to stop you enjoying a refreshing run.

两栖越野跑挑战人体的极限，是耐力、体力以及协调性的综合考验。地形差异和步伐快慢直接影响越野跑的难度。新手可先缓步奔跑或涉水健行，以适应陌生环境。如至山中，须细心观察周围地貌，充分考虑危险因素；如果你已做了周全计划并携带充足的装备，那么就压倒一切的意志，开启一场御风而行的两栖越野跑！

After a good hour, I arrive at my destination in Engi, happy with my achievement – a winning combination of stimulation, sport and natural experience.

一个小时后，目的地恩吉已在我脚下。胜利的喜悦、快意的释然、运动的舒畅、自然的美景……种种感受一时沦彻我的全身。
