He Lost His Arm But Is Still Climbing

Aron Ralston is an American man who is interested in mountain climbing.As a mountain climber, Aron is used to taking risks. This is one of the exciting things about doing dangerous sports. There were many times when Aron almost lost his life because of accidents. On April 26,2003, he found himself is in a very dangerous situation when climbing in Utah .

On that day，Aron's arm was caught and a 360-kilo Rock that fell on him when he was climbing by himself in the mountains .Because he couldn't free his arm, he stayed there for five days and hope that someone would find him. But when his water run out, he knew that he would have to do something to save his own life. He was not ready to die as that day.So he used his knife to cut off half his right arm. Then， with his left arm，he bandaged himself so that he wouldn't lose too much blood. After that,he climbed down the mountain to find help.

After losing his arm, he wrote a book called Between a Rock and a Hard Place. This means being in a difficult situation that you can't seem to get out of. In this book, Aaron tells of the importance of making good decisions, and of being in controll of one's life.His love for mountain climbing is so great that he kept on climbing mountains and even after this experience.

Do we have the same spirit as AronLet's think about it before we found ourselves“between a rock and a hard place,”and before we have to make a decision that could mean life or death.

阿伦.罗尔斯顿是一位喜欢登山的美国人。作为一位登山者，阿伦已习惯冒险，冒险是从事危险运动令人刺激的一面。有很多事阿伦都因为事故命悬一线。2003年4月26日，他在尤他州登山时，发现自己处在非常危险的境地中。

那一天，当阿伦独自在大山间攀爬时，一块360公斤的大石头朝他落下来，他的一条胳膊被压在了石头下面。因为无法使自己的胳膊挣脱开来，他在那里呆了五天，希望有人能发现他。但是当他的水喝光之后，他明白必须要做些什么来拯救自己了。他并不想在那一天就死去！于是他用刀子切断了自己的半条右臂，然后用左手包扎了伤口，这样不至于失血过多。然后他下山求救。

在失去胳膊后，他写了一本名为《生死两南》的书，书名的意思是一个人深陷似乎无法解脱的困境之中。在这本书里，阿能讲述了正确抉择以及自我掌控命运的重要性。他对登山极度热爱，甚至在此次断臂经历之后，他依然继续攀爬。

我们有阿伦那样的精神吗？在发现自己处于生死两难的境地及面对生死抉择之前，让我们先思考一下吧！
