爸，国庆长假你报名的红色长征路线游，不会也是二万五千里的吧？换了我，一辈子走一次都嫌太多了！
bà ，guóqìng chángjià nǐ bàomíng de hóngsè chángzhēng lùxiàn yóu ，bùhuì yě shì 000 miles] de ba ？huànle wǒ ，yībèizi zǒu yī cì dōu xián tài duō le ！
Dad, that ''Long March Walk" during the National Day Week that you signed up for-- it couldn't be 8,000 miles (12,874 km), could it? If it were me, it would be too much to walk that route even once in my life!
我一直想完整地走一遍，体会一下你爷爷当年吃过的苦。你爷爷以前常跟我说他和战友们一起爬雪山，过草地，吃树皮的故事，那种艰苦我们是难以想象得到的！
wǒ yīzhí xiǎng wánzhěng de zǒu yī biàn ，tǐhuì yīxià nǐ yéye dāngnián chī guò de kǔ 。nǐ yéye yǐqián cháng gēn wǒ shuō tā hé zhànyǒu men yīqǐ pá xuěshān ，guò cǎodì ，chī shùpí de gùshi ，nà zhǒng jiānkù wǒmen shì nányǐ xiǎngxiàng de dào de ！
I've always wanted to walk it all the way, and experience the bitterness that your Grandfather tasted during those years. Your grandfather often used to tell me about climbing snowy mountains, crossing grassy fields, and eating bark with his war-time buddies. It's hard for us to imagine that kind of bitter struggle.
当时爷爷参加长征，难道不觉得这是个“不可能的任务”吗？
dāngshí yéye cānjiā chángzhēng ，nándào bù juéde zhè shì ge “bù kěnéng de rènwu ”ma ？
When Grandpa did the Long March back then, didn't he think it was ''Mission: Impossible"?
和平年代的人，像你们，是感受不到那段红色岁月里，大家为了一个共产主义理想，是可以不懈奋斗乃至献出生命的！
hépíng niándài de rén ，xiàng nǐmen ，shì gǎnshòu bùdào nà duàn hóngsè suìyuè lǐ ，dàjiā wéile yī ge gòngchǎnzhǔyì lǐxiǎng ，shì kěyǐ bùxiè fèndòu nǎizhì xiànchū shēngmìng de ！
People like you, from an age of peace, can't get a sense of those revolutionary times. People were willing to struggle, even to the point giving their own lives, for the ideal of Communism!
