W: I just saw a great movie about the true story of Christopher McCandless’ trip to the Alaskan wilderness in 1992. It was so inspiring! His love of nature was so beautiful.
M: Well, I read about his story. He was foolish and just threw his life away!
W: Why would you say that? It’s a shame that he died, but at least he lived doing what he loved. Can you imagine living in Alaska alone, eating only the plants you can gather and the animals you can hunt?
16. wilderness noun [ C usually singular ]
UK /ˈwɪl.də.nəs/ US /ˈwɪl.dɚ.nəs/荒无人烟的地区；荒野a beautiful mountain wilderness美丽的山野
M: No, that’s just it! He died in the wilderness because he thought nature was magical and kind. He needed to realize that nature is powerful and full of risks! Christopher was completely unprepared for the many dangers of the Alaskan wilderness.
W: Like what? He found shelter and he had a gun to hunt!
M: He did not use his map of the area – there was a boat where he could get help only a quarter of a mile away! He didn’t have any emergency food supplies! Most of all, he had no emergency communication equipment. Any one of those three things would have saved his life!
W: Yes, he should have been more prepared, but I still admire what he was trying to do.
M: It’s not romantic! Five famous outdoor specialists were interviewed. They all said he should have lived. He died because he was unprepared!
W: Still, I admire his spirit for trying!
