v.动词
ascend, climb, mount这三个词的共同意思是“攀登”。其区别是：
climb指费力地攀登或上升; ascend是正式用语,多用于指登至极高的地方; mount指向上登的过程,尤指上马等一次跳跃的动作。例如:

He ascended the stairs.他登上了楼梯。
The soldiers stood beside their horses, waiting for the order to mount.士兵们站立在马的旁边,等待上马的命令。
He mounted his horse away.他骑上他的马走了。ascend，climb，mount这些动词均含有“攀登，上升”之意。
ascend正式用词，指不用手攀，一直上升直到相当高的地方。
climb普通用词，含义广泛，侧重运用手足费力地攀登或上升，也可指抽象事物。
mount书面用词，词义与ascend相近，强调连续不断地向上移动、攀登或上涨。指骑马时用mount。
