山里人说，有向导的话，这趟旅行可以在14天内完成。

The mountain people say that, with guides, the journey can be done in fourteen days.

但在这个晚上，一种未知的力量使得这个有教养，并且受过良好教育的青年在山里人面前吐露心声，并要求他们用同样的自信来回答他。

But this evening a prophetic sympathy impelled the refined and educated youth to pour out his heart before the simple mountaineers, and constrained them to answer him with the same free confidence.
