第1段
The Great St. Bernard Pass connects Switzerland to Italy. At 2,473 metres, it is the highest mountain pass in Europe. The famous monastery of St. Bernard, which was founded in the eleventh century, lies about a mile away. For hundreds of years, St. Bernard dogs have saved the lives of travellers crossing the dangerous Pass. These friendly dogs, which were first brought from Asia, were used as watchdogs even in Roman times. Now that a tunnel has been built through the mountains, the Pass is less dangerous, but each year, the dogs are still sent out into the snow whenever a traveller is in difficulty. Despite the new tunnel, there are still a few people who rashly attempt to cross the Pass on foot.
圣伯纳德大山口连接着瑞士与意大利，海拔2,473米，是欧洲最高的山口。11世纪建造的著名的圣伯纳德修道院位于离山口1英里远的地方。几百年来，圣伯纳德修道院驯养的狗拯救了许多翻越这道山口的旅游者的生命。那些最先从亚洲引进的狗，待人友好，早在罗马时代就给人当看门狗了。由于山里开挖了隧道，这个山口不再那么危险，但每年还要派狗到雪山地里去帮助那些遇到困难的旅游者。尽管修通了隧道，但仍有一些人想冒险徒步跨越圣伯纳德山口。
第2段
During the summer months, the monastery is very busy, for it is visited by thousands of people who cross the Pass in cars. As there are so many people about, the dogs have to be kept in a special enclosure. In winter, however, life at the monastery is quite different. The temperature drops to -30° and very few people attempt to cross the Pass. The monks prefer winter to summer for they have more privacy. The dogs have greater freedom, too, for they are allowed to wander outside their enclosure. The only regular visitors to the monastery in winter are parties of skiers who go there at Christmas and Easter. These young people, who love the peace of the mountains, always receive a warm welcome at St. Bernard's monastery.
在夏天，修道院十分忙碌，因为有成千上万驾车通过山口的人参观修道院。由于来人太多，狗被关在专门的围栏里。然而，到了冬天，修道院里的生活则是另一番景象。气温下降到零下30 度，试图穿越山口的人寥寥无几。修道士们比起夏天更喜欢冬天。因为他们有更多私人空间。狗也更自由，在围栏外四处溜达。冬天在圣诞节或复活节，只有一批批的滑雪者常来修道院。这些热爱高山清静环境的年轻人总是受到圣伯纳德道院的热烈欢迎。
