Test Examination- EFS I – Sem I

1. Translate into Romanian:

For many it would be difficult terrain for hiking, but the experienced Ralston leaped confidently
over the smooth rocks. For him it was an easy day's outing.

He was just starting to climb down into the canyon when he put his hand on a boulder and it
came loose. He lost his balance for a second and slipped down to the bottom of the canyon.
The boulder came crashing after him and landed on his arm. In a few seconds the outing had
turned into a nightmare.

Above, a sliver of blue sky was all he could see of the world outside. He knew that shouting for
help would be pointless. To make matters worse, he had no mobile phone and he hadn't told
anyone where he was going. All he had was 350 ml of water, two sandwiches and a small knife.

 Pentru mulți ar fi teren dificil pentru drumeții, dar experimentatul Ralston a sărit cu
încredere peste stâncile netede. Pentru el a fost o zi ușoară. Tocmai începea să urce în
canion când a pus mâna pe un bolovan și s-a desprins. Și-a pierdut echilibrul pentru o
secundă și a alunecat în josul canionului. Bolovanul a venit prăbușindu-se după el și a
aterizat pe brațul lui. În câteva secunde ieșirea se transformase într-un coșmar.
Deasupra, o bucată de cer albastru era tot ce putea vedea despre lumea de afară. Știa
că strigatul după ajutor va fi inutil. Ca să înrăutățească lucrurile, nu avea telefon mobil și
nu spusese nimănui unde se duce. Nu avea decât 350 ml de apă, două sandvișuri și un
cuțit mic.
