kyra The Great St. Bernard Pass connects Switzerland to Italy. At 2,473 metres, it is the highest mountain pass in Europe. The famous monastery of St. Bernard, witch was founded in eleventh century, lies about a mile away. For hundreds of years, St. Bernard dogs have saved the lives of travellers crossing the dangerous Pass. These friendly dogs, which were first brought from Asia, were used as watchdogs even in Roman times.

} I never thanked you for saving my life!
电影《阿甘正传》别人对阿甘说的话。意思是你救了我我从来还没有说过谢谢。
} Now that a tunnel has been built through the mountains, the Pass is less dangerous, but each year, the dogs are still sent out into the snow whenever a traveler is in difficulty. Despite the new tunnel, there are still a few people who rashly attempt to cross the Pass on foot. During the summer months, the monastery is very busy, for it is visited by thousands of people who cross the Pass in cars. As there are so many people about, the dogs have to be kept in a special enclosure.
} What is the rash, if we are building something for eternity.
常说“There is no rash.”是不要急。这句话的意思是不要着急，如果我们要为永恒做点事情的话。
} About/around
about 在这里的用法比较特别，相当于around. 这里的 As there are so many people about, 意思是由于这里有很多人。
} In winter, however, life at the monastery is quite different. The temperature drops to – minus 30 and very few people attempt to cross the Pass. The monks prefer winter to summer of they have more privacy. The dogs have greater freedom, too, for they are allowed to wander outside their enclosure.
} I feel as though I’ve got a fever, but my temperature was normal.
temperature 可以直接做体温讲。这句话的意思是
我感觉我像发烧了一样，但是我的体温却是正常的。
} Minus sign/plus sign
positive/ negative
minus 是负，减的意思。minus sign/plus sign 是负号/正号，也可以用 positive/negative 表示。
} The only regular visitors to the monastery in winter are parties of skiers who go there at Christmas and Easter. These young people, who love the peace of mountains, always receive a warm welcome at St. Bernard’s monastery.
} Welcome:
You are (quite) welcome.
不用客气
You are (always) welcome.
这样一句话可以表示它本身的意思，就是你是受欢迎的，或你总是受欢迎的。
My pleasure.
Think nothing of it.
Don’t mention it.
Any time.
这几句话都是别人对你表示谢谢的时候说的客套话。
