51-55題為題組 Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman’s shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique about this shoe is where it was found. It was discovered on the Chilkoot Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1,500 stairs carved out of ice? Or did she throw away goods that she didn’t need in order to travel lighter? Over 100,000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wilderness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather. The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century.

每個物品講述一個故事。即使是最普通的物品也能呈現給我們強大的想象。有時這些物體的普通性實際上使它們非常特別。

阿拉斯加博物館裡的舊皮鞋就是這種情況。乍一看它看起來並不多。這是一款19世紀90年代流行的女式鞋。但這款鞋的獨特之處在於它被發現的地方。它是在Chilkoot Pass上發現的，這是在阿拉斯加尋找黃金的人們使用的著名小徑。

它屬於誰或為何留在那裡是不知道的。當女人爬上從冰雕刻的1500個樓梯時，它是不是意外掉了下來？或者她為了輕便旅行而丟棄了她不需要的貨物？超過10萬名“金熱”的人此行，希望成為百萬富翁。

他們中很少有人明白，在他們的路上他們將不得不穿越嚴酷的荒野。沒有準備好這樣一個危險的旅程，許多人死於飢餓和暴...
