In this much-travelled world, there are still thousands of places which are inaccessible to tourists. We always assume that villagers in remote places are friendly and hospitable. But people who are cut off not only from foreign tourists, but even from their own countrymen can be hostile to travellers. Visits to really remote villages are ldom enjoyable -- as my wife and I discovered during a tour through the Balkans.
We had spent veral days in a small town and visited a number of old churches in the vicinity. The attracted many visitors, for they were not only of great architectural interest, but contained a large number of beautifully prerved frescoes as well. On the day before our departure, veral bus loads of tourists descended on the town. This was more than we could bear, so we decided to spend our last day exploring the countryside. Taking a path w
hich led out of the town, we crosd a few fields until we came to a den wood. We expected the path to end abruptly, but we found that it traced its way through the trees. We tramped through the wood for over two hours until we arrived at a deep stream. We could e that the path continued on the other side, but we had no idea how we could get across the stream. Suddenly my wife spotted a boat moored to the bank. In it there was a boatman fast asleep. We gently woke him up and asked him to ferry us to the other side. Though he was reluctant to do so at first, we eventually persuaded him to take us.
The path led to a tiny village perched on the steep
sides of a mountain. The place consisted of a straggling unmade road which was lined on either side by small hous. Even under a clear blue sky, the village looked forbidding,此时的近义词

field nearby. Sitting down on a dilapidated wooden fence near the field, we opened a cou

silently as we ate. We offered them food and spoke to them kindly, but they remained motionless. I concluded that they were simply shy of strangers. When we later walked down the main street of the village, we were followed by a silent procession of children. The village which had emed derted, immediately came to life. Faces appeared at windows. Men in shirt sleeves stood outside their hous and glared at us.
Old women in black shawls peered at us from doorways. The
most frightening thing of all was that not a sound could be heard. There was no doubt that we were unwelcome visitors. We needed no further warning. Turning back down the main street, we quickened our pace and made our way rapidly towards the stream where
we hoped the boatman was waiting.

在这个旅游频繁的世界上，仍有成千上万个游人足迹未至的地方。人们总是以为偏僻的地方的村民们热情好客。但是，那些不但与外国
旅游者隔绝，而且与本国同胞隔绝的人们有可能对游客抱有敌意。到
真正偏僻的村庄去旅游并不是一件愉快的事情。我与妻子在一次周游
巴尔干半岛时对此深有体会。
我们在一座小镇上逗留了几天，参观了附近的很多古老的教堂。
这些教堂吸引大量游客，不但是因为建筑风格奇特，而且还有大量保
存完好的壁画。我们离开小镇的前一天，镇上来了几辆满载游客的公
共汽车。人多得使我们难以忍受，于是我们决定利用最后一天去乡间
一游。我们走上了一条出镇的小路，穿过几块农田，来到一片茂密的
树林。我们原以为小路会到此突然终止。没想到它到树林中继续向前
延伸。我们在树林中跋涉了两个多小时，到了一条深溪边。我们能够
看到小路在深溪对岸继续向前伸展，但却不知如何越过这道深溪。突然，妻子发现岸边泊着一条小船，船上有一船夫在呼呼大睡。我们轻
轻地把他唤醒，请他把我们摆渡过溪。一开始，他很不愿意，但经劝说，终于同意了。
顺着小路，我们来到一个座落在陡峭山坡上的小村庄。这儿有一
条未经修筑的弯弯曲曲的道路，路两边排列着一些矮小的农舍。农舍
洛阳老君山全用灰色的土坯建成，所以，即使在晴朗的蓝天底下，村庄看上去也
会令人感到难以亲近。村里似乎无人居住，的生命迹象是附近田里一
只面目可憎的黑山羊，用一截短绳拴在一棵树上。我们在田边一堵东
倒西歪的篱笆墙上坐下来，打开几听沙丁鱼罐头，吃了一顿野外午餐。突然，我注意到妻子十分惊恐。我抬头一看，发现我们被一群衣衫褴
褛的小孩团团围住了，他们在默不作声地看着我们吃饭。我们给他们
热闹反义词
东西吃，客客气气地同他们交谈，但他们却一动也不动。我认为这不
过是他们在陌生人面前表现出的害羞。后来，我们在村里的主要街道
上行走的时候，一队默不作声的孩子跟在我们后头。刚才还似乎空荡
荡的村庄一下子活跃了起来，窗口露出了一张张面孔，只穿着衬衣的
男人们站在屋子外面凶狠地盯着我们，披黑纱巾的老妇人站在门口偷
偷地瞅着我们。最令人害怕的是到处没有一点声音。毫无疑问，我们
的来访是不受欢迎的。我们不需要进一步的警告了。便掉转身子，沿
着那条主要街道加快步伐，快速地朝深溪边走去，希望船夫还在那儿
等着我们。
