迟到的葬礼
Mount Everest expedition operators are finding increasing numbers of climbers' dead bodies on the world's highest peak as high temperatures melt glaciers and snow.
随着高温融化冰川和积雪，珠穆朗玛峰探险人员在这世界最高峰上发现了越来越多登山者的遗体。
More than 200 mountaineers have died on the peak since 1922, when the first climbers' deaths on Everest were recorded.自1922年有记录以来，已有200多名登山者死在了珠峰之上。
The majority of bodies are believed to have remained buried under glaciers or snow.

尼泊尔登山协会前主席昂.谢尔润.夏尔巴告诉我们:“由于气候变化和全球变暖的影响，雪和冰川正在快速融化，之前登山者的遗体也越来越多地暴露和发现。”
"Since 2008 my own company has brought down seven dead bodies of some mountaineers, some dating back to a British expedition in the 1970s."

该协会的财务主管腾曾.夏尔巴说，气候变化正在迅速影响尼泊尔，部分地区的冰川每年都会融化一米。
"Most of the dead bodies we bring to the towns, but those we can't bring down we respect by saying prayers for them and covering them with rock or snow."

Ang Tshering Sherpa, one of the first pupils to study at a mountaineering school built by the New Zealand climber Edmund Hillary and a pioneer of Everest tourism, said that one of the most dangerous recoveries was at 8,700 meters, near the peak.
昂.谢尔润.夏尔巴是新西兰登山者埃德蒙.希拉里修建的一所登山学校的首批学生之一，他说最危险的一次运输遗体是在8700米的高度，离峰顶都不远了。
"The body weighed 150kg [23.6 stone] and it had to be recovered from a difficult place at that altitude. It was a Herculean task," he said.
“这具尸体重达150公斤(23.6英石)，而且还得从如此高的地方找到。这是一项艰巨的任务，”他说。
He added that it takes a long time to get funding from the government to remove bodies.

"But we, the operators, feel it is our duty and so whenever we find them, we bring the bodies down."
