The idea of adventure has always captured the imagination. The idea that just over the next hill there will be excitement and mystery is a big part of what makes us human. This is just as true of ancient times as it is today. Famous explorers set out in small boats or journeyed across immense deserts and oceans. Early explorers like Christopher Columbus or Zheng He traveled to foreign places for the glory of their nations. More importantly, they set out to test themselves against the forces of nature and the pursue of knowledge. Other explorers today do the same thing. People are going to space in pursuit of the last frontier or seeking in the depths of science for new knowledge. Most people, in their daily lives, do not have the opportunity to truly test themselves in these ways. Modern living has given them the opportunity, however, with adventuring events. The idea of adventuring events is not new, yet it is only now gaining in popularity. People today can go mountain climbing or deep sea diving. If they have enough money, they can even go into space with the opening of the new industry of space tourism. These different kinds of adventuring events are open to groups as well as to individuals. For example, many companies are using survival schools as a means to reinforce the concepts of leadership and team work. All of these methods are an attempt to inject adventure in lives that have become increasing dull due to the technologies of a modern world.

探險總是能勾起人們的幻想。翻過下一座山就會有令人激動和感覺到神奇，這樣的想法是人類與生俱來的。這些都亙古不變得真理。著名的探險家們坐著小船出發(fā)探險，有的甚至穿越了無垠的沙漠和海洋。早期的探險家例如克里斯多佛?哥倫布與鄭和都是為了祖國的榮譽而到異國探險。更重要的是，他們不畏大自然的力量，為了追求真理而奮勇向前，挑戰(zhàn)自己。今天的探險家們也做著同樣的事情。人們奔向太空去追逐最后的邊境或為追求新知在科學(xué)的深海中探索。在日常生活中，大多數(shù)人并不是真的有機會可以用這些方式來挑戰(zhàn)自我。然而，現(xiàn)代生活已經(jīng)給人們提供了參與探險活動的機會。探險活動其實并不新鮮，只是直到最近它才變得流行罷了。今天的人們可以去登山，可以去深海潛水。隨著太空旅游業(yè)的興起，如果他們有足夠的錢，就還可以去太空旅游。不同種類的探險活動對于團體和個人都是開放的。例如，許多公司用生存學(xué)校作為強化領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力和團隊協(xié)作觀念的方式。所有這些方法都試圖將冒險注入我們因現(xiàn)代科技發(fā)展而變得越來越枯燥的生活之中。
