Ethan had never hiked a mountain before, let alone the tallest peak in his region.

伊森从未爬过山，更别提挑战本地最高的山峰。

Friends warned him it was too steep, too dangerous.

朋友们警告他说这山太陡、太危险了。

But something inside him whispered, “Try.”

但他内心深处有个声音在轻声说：“去试试。”

The first day, his legs ached. The second, his spirit did.

第一天，他腿疼。第二天，他心更累。

At one point, he slipped and bruised his hand, questioning everything.

有一刻，他滑倒擦伤了手，开始怀疑一切。

But at dawn on the third day, he reached the summit.

但在第三天破晓时，他登上了山顶。

The view was endless, the silence breathtaking.

视野无垠，沉静令人屏息。

He stood alone, not to prove anything to others—but to remember what he could endure.

他独自站在那里，不是为了向他人证明什么，而是为了记住自己能承受多少。

Summary: “The climb shapes you more than the view.”

总结：“征途本身，比风景更能塑造你。”
