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. Now that a tunnel ahs been built through the mountains, the Pass is less dangerous, but each year, the dogs are still sent out into the snow whenever a traveller 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. In winter, however, life at the monastery is quite different. The temperature drops to -- 30 o 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. 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. 参考译文圣伯纳德大山口连接着瑞士与意大利，海拔2,473O米，是欧洲最高的山口。

Because there are so many people about, the dogs are kept in a special enclosure. As the temperature in winter falls to -30°, there are few visitors, so the monks prefer this season.

He immediately noticed that the dogs were veryrestless. Suspecting a traveller might be in difficulty, the monk returned to the monastery to organize a search party.The two dogs led four monks through the snow. Two of the monks pulled a sledge behind them, in case they needed it. There had been very high winds the previous night, but now everything was still and visibility was bad because there was a heavy fog. Moreover, the temperature had fallen to -20°.The dogsled the monks towards the Pass and as the monks got near, theyheard cries in the distance. The dogs soon found a man who wastrapped under the snow and immediately dragged him out. The manwas alive, but frozen stiff. The monks strapped him to the sledgeand took him back to the monastery.The man was unconscious, but he soon recovered in the warmatmosphere of the monastery where he was given plenty of hot drinks and food. When the traveller was able to speak, the monkslistened with interest as he told them what had happened the previous night.
