　　珠穆朗玛峰：在峰顶附近，又有三人因过度拥挤致死
　　Three more climbers have died on Mount Everest, taking the death toll to seven in a week - more than the total for the whole of last year. The three died of exhaustion while descending on Thursday.
　　3名珠峰攀登者的死亡使得一周之内登山死亡人数升至7人，已经超过了去年一整年的死亡人数。这三人是在周二下山的途中因力竭而死。
　　It comes amid traffic jams near the summit as record numbers make the ascent, despite calls to limit the number of climbing permits.
　　尽管有声音要求限制允许登山的人数，但是今年登山人数还是达到了新好，以致在靠近峰顶的希拉里台阶处出现了人多拥堵的情况。
　　Nepal has issued 381 permits at $11,000 (€8,600) each for the spring climbing season at the world’s highest peak.
　　今春的攀登季，尼泊尔政府已经签发了381例登山许可，每人收取11000美元的费用（约合8600欧元）。
　　Two Indian climbers - Kalpana Das, 52, and Nihal Bagwan, 27 - died while scaling back down the mountain on Thursday.
　　两名来自印度的登山者也是在本周二下山途中丧生，一位是今年52岁的卡帕那·达斯，另一位是今年27岁的尼哈·巴格万。
　　Local tour organiser Keshav Paudel told AFP news agency that Bagwan had been "stuck in the traffic for more than 12 hours and was exhausted". A 65-year-old Austrian climber died on the northern Tibet side of the mountain.
　　当地的旅游组织者科沙夫·保德尔告诉法新社，巴格万当时由于上下拥堵“已经困在原地12个多小时，后实在支撑不住，失掉了年轻的生命”。一名65岁的奥地利登山者是在珠峰北边，也就是靠近西藏那边丧生的。

　　周三两名分别来自印度和美国的登山者也相继死亡，还有一名来自爱尔兰的教授塞慕斯·劳乐斯在5月16号意外摔落，目前也被推定死亡。
　　Conditions this year have also been worse than usual, with high winds leaving a large number of climbers a narrow time frame to reach the summit. Five people are known to have died on Everest and one in Lhotse in the spring season last year.
　　今年的天气情况也比往年更为恶劣，强风天气使得大量的登山者必须在有限的时间内完成登顶。就大家所知道的就已有5人丧生，还有一位是去年春季在洛子峰那边遭遇了不幸。
　　The number of people climbing Everest in 2019 could exceed last year’s record of 807 people reaching the summit. The rising numbers of people climbing - and dying - on Everest has led for calls for permits to be limited.
　　去年登顶珠峰的人数已经达到了807人，而2019年的珠峰攀登人数可能会超过往年。随着珠峰攀登人数的日益增多，死亡人数也开始上升，人们呼吁政府控制每年允许的登山人数。
