Evan had always wanted to climb a famous mountain.
埃文一直想爬上一座著名的山峰。
People said the view was life-changing.
人们都说山顶的视野能改变人生。
So one summer,
于是有一年夏天，
he set out on the journey.
他开始了旅程。
But the path was steep,
但路很陡，
the air grew thinner,
空气越来越稀薄，
and doubts filled his mind.
疑虑充满他的脑子。
“Why am I doing this?” he muttered.
“我干嘛要这么做？”他嘀咕。
Halfway up, he met an elderly woman descending the mountain.
半山腰，他遇到一位正在下山的老妇人。
She smiled warmly.
她微笑着。
“Beautiful, isn’t it?”
“很美，对吧？”
Evan frowned.
埃文皱眉。
“I haven’t seen anything beautiful yet. It’s just exhausting.”
“我还没看到什么美的地方，只觉得累。”
The woman chuckled.
老妇人轻笑。
“Oh, the mountain hasn’t changed.
“哦，山从来没变过。
Maybe you’re carrying too much.”
也许是你背的东西太多了。”
Evan realized his backpack was indeed heavy—
埃文意识到自己的背包确实很重——
filled with tools he didn’t need,
装满了用不上的工具，
extra clothes,
多余的衣物，
and things he brought “just in case.”
以及一堆“以防万一”的东西。
He removed half of them and continued.
他拿掉了一半继续前行。
Suddenly, the climb felt different—
突然间，攀登变得不一样了——
lighter,
轻松了，
clearer,
更清晰，
almost enjoyable.
甚至有些愉悦。
When he reached the peak,
当他终于到达山顶，
the view was breathtaking.
眼前的景色美得令人窒息。
He stood in silence,
他站在那里，沉默，
realizing the mountain had not changed at all.
意识到山一点没变。
What changed was him—
变的只是他自己——
his burdens,
他的负担，
his mindset,
他的心态，
his willingness to let go.
以及他愿意放下的程度。
The woman was right:
那位老妇人说得没错：
Beauty wasn’t waiting at the peak.
美并不是在山顶等着他。
He carried it within him.
它一直在他心里。
Summary: “The world doesn't change—our inner landscape does.”
总结：“世界常不变，改变的是我们内心的风景。”
