lewat gunung

Indonesian to English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
1. Tadinya, aku merasa lebih baik berangkat LEWAT GUNUNG saja karena aku masih takut melihat laut. Akhirnya kutabahkan diriku dan naik ke dalam perahu. Ayah terus memelukku karena aku ketakutan.

2. Selain rusak berat di mana-mana, jalan pun tertutup oleh tumpukan kayu dan sampah. Ayah harus berjalan selama sebelas jam LEWAT GUNUNG, hutan dan semak belukar.

But does 'walk through a mountain' work? Coz one always climbs up a mountain and never walk through it, isnt it?

"Walks through the mountains" is nice and acceptable - especially in literary works. (We even said "walks through the clouds", although we are not actually walk on the mist)

agree John Gare (X) : you can walk or take the road through the mountains - no worries.
