He's been frozen on Everest for 30 years, now 'Green Boots' may finally be coming home

英文原文 C1

For three decades, the enigmatic figure known as "Green Boots" has remained entombed in the snow, nestled beneath an overhanging boulder, not far from the summit of Mount Everest. The lime-colored mountaineering boots worn by an Indian climber who perished in 1996 have since served as a stark reminder for countless climbers embarking on their ascent to the pinnacle of the world's highest peak. Now, India is seeking a specialized high-altitude recovery team to embark on a perilous and intricate mission to reclaim what they assert to be the remains of Dorje Morup – a figure who is perhaps the most renowned among the hundreds of souls left frozen on the mountain's slopes. The nation holds out hope that they are on the brink of returning his mortal remains to friends and family who have steadfastly clung to the belief that he would eventually return home. "In certain moments, as I prepared for slumber, I would envision a knock at the door that night, and upon opening it, there he would be," Morup's wife recounted to the BBC. "Upon his return, I shall inquire: 'Where have you been all these years? '"

三十年间，神秘人物“绿靴”一直被埋葬在雪中，蜷缩在一块悬垂的巨石之下，距离珠穆朗玛峰顶峰不远。这位印度登山者在1996年遇难时穿着的石灰绿色登山靴，自此成为无数攀登世界最高峰之巅的登山者心中鲜明的警示。

如今，印度正寻求一支专业的高海拔搜救队，执行一项危险而复杂的任务，以找回他们声称是多杰莫鲁的遗骸——这位可能是数百名在山腰上被冰封的灵魂中最著名的一位。

这个国家抱有希望，他们即将将他的遗体归还给那些始终坚信他终将回家的朋友和家人。

“在某些时刻，当我准备入睡时，我会想象那个夜晚门铃响起，当我打开门时，他就在那里，”莫鲁的妻子向BBC回忆道。

“他回来后，我会问他：‘这些年你都去了哪里？’”
