The idea of adventure has always captured the imagination. The idea that just over the next hill there will be excitement and mystery is a big part of what makes us human. This is just as true of ancient times as it is today. Famous explores set out in small boats or journeyed across immense deserts and oceans. Early explorers like Christopher Columbus or Zheng He traveled to foreign places for the glory of their nations. More importantly, they set out to test themselves against the forces of nature and the pursue of knowledge. Other explorers today do the same thing. People are going to space in pursuit of the last frontier or seeking in the depths of science for new knowledge. Most people, in their daily lives, do not have the opportunity to truly test themselves in these ways. Modern living has given them the opportunity, however, with adventuring events. The idea of adventuring events is not new, yet it is only now gaining in popularity. People today can go mountain climbing or deep sea diving. If they have enough money, they can even go into space with the opening of the new industry of space tourism. These different kinds of adventuring events are open to groups as well as to individuals. For example, many companies are using survival schools as a means to reinforce the concepts of leadership and team work. All of these methods are an attempt to inject adventure in lives that have become increasing dull due to the technologies of a modern world.

探险总是能勾起人们的幻想。翻过下一座山就会有令人激动和感觉到神奇，这样的想法是人类与生俱来的。这些都亘古不变得真理。著名的探险家们坐着小船出发探险，有的甚至穿越了无垠的沙漠和海洋。早期的探险家例如克里斯多佛?哥伦布与郑和都是为了祖国的荣誉而到异国探险。更重要的是，他们不畏大自然的力量，为了追求真理而奋勇向前，挑战自己。今天的探险家们也做着同样的事情。人们奔向太空去追逐最后的边境或为追求新知在科学的深海中探索。在日常生活中，大多数人并不是真的有机会可以用这些方式来挑战自我。然而，现代生活已经给人们提供了参与探险活动的机会。探险活动其实并不新鲜，只是直到最近它才变得流行罢了。今天的人们可以去登山，可以去深海潜水。随着太空旅游业的兴起，如果他们有足够的钱，就还可以去太空旅游。不同种类的探险活动对于团体和个人都是开放的。例如，许多公司用生存学校作为强化领导能力和团队协作观念的方式。所有这些方法都试图将冒险注入我们因现代科技发展而变得越来越枯燥的生活之中。
