Vocabulary: ascent [-nt] n. a movement upward lên cao summit ['sʌmɪt] n. the top point of a mountain or hill đỉnh nonchalantly adv. in an unconcerned manner ( thờ ơ ) conquering ['kɑŋkərɪŋ /'kɒŋ-] overcome by conquest ( chinh phục ) SCRIPT Sixty years ago today, New Zealand explorer Sir Edmund Hillary and his Sherpa guide Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers to ever reach the summit of Mount Everest. This feat may not seem so significant now, when upwards of 150 people may reach the top of the 29,000-foot mountain on the best climbing day. In fact the summit has become so overcrowded that officials are even debating installing a ladder for descents (to the horror of serious mountaineers). But in 1953, Hillary and Norgay’s ascent was a pretty big deal, you might say. In the video above, excerpted from Hillary’s appearance on the educational program Omnibus, watch the famous explorer nonchalantly tell the story of his and Norgay’s conquering of Everest.
