After struggling (挣扎) to the 20th level,sad and tired,they decided to abandon (丢弃) their bags and come back for them the next day.They left their bags and climbed on.When they had struggled to the 40th level,the younger brother started to complain and both of them began to quarrel (吵架).They continued,quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.
