1、A Long Cold Winter漫長的寒冬It was dark for four months Outside the wooden house at Framheim ， it was often 60 ° Centigrade The dogs lived in warm holes under the snow The menstayed in the house ， and worked in their rooms under the snow4 個(gè)月中不見天日，一片昏暗。在弗雷門海姆木屋外面，氣溫低到60 。狗兒們生活在溫暖的雪洞里。眾人則留在木屋里，在白雪覆蓋下的

2、房間里，忙著各自的活兒。The skis and sledges came from the best shops in Norway， but Bjaaland wasn'thappy with them He changed a lot of things on the skis and sledges Soon thesledges were stronger than before The skis were better and faster ， too 盡管滑雪板與雪橇都是從挪威最好的商店內(nèi)購買的，但是比阿蘭德對(duì)這些設(shè)備并不滿意。于是， 他在滑雪板與雪橇上換了許多部件。一會(huì)

3、兒功夫雪橇變得結(jié)實(shí)多了?；┌遄兊酶檬垢炝?。All the Norwegians worked hard They looked after their dogs ， and worked on their equipment the sledges ， skis ， tents Every day they thought about theirjourney to the Pole ， and talked about it And every day ， Amundsen thought aboutScott One day ， in midwinter ， he talked to

4、 his men所有這些挪威人干活兒都很賣力。他們照顧狗群，改良設(shè)備：雪橇、 滑雪板、帳篷。每天，他們都想著遠(yuǎn)赴南極的旅程，談?wù)撝@次旅程。每天，阿蒙森腦子里都裝著斯科特。隆冬里的一天，他對(duì)眾人說：'Let's start early ， before Scott ， 'Amundsen said 'Remem-ber ， Scott has moremen than us ， and he has motor sledges ， too Perhaps they can go faster than us “我們?cè)缧┳?，趕在斯科特之前?！卑⒚缮f，“別忘了，斯

5、科特的人比我們多，他還有機(jī)動(dòng)雪橇。所以，他們可能比我們快?！盉jaaland laughed 'Oh no ， they can't go faster than me ， 'he said 'On snownothing can go faster than a good man on skis '比阿蘭德大笑起來?！鞍?，不，他們不可能比我快，”他說，“在雪地上，沒有任何東西能快過優(yōu)秀的滑雪者?！盬e don't know ， 'Amundsen said'You're the best skier in Norwayb

6、ut you getThey can go all daytired ， and dogs get tired ， too Motor sledges don't get tired and all night“很難料定?！卑⒚缮f，“你雖是挪威最優(yōu)秀的滑雪者，但是也有累乏的時(shí)候，狗也一樣。而機(jī)動(dòng)雪橇則不會(huì)累，它能沒日沒夜地跑個(gè)不停。”Johansen laughed angrily 'That's stupid ， 'he said 'Perhaps the motor sledges can go all night ， but the Englis

7、hmen can't The English can't win ， Roald they don't understand snow ， but we do And they're too slow '約翰森怒極而笑?！罢娲?，”他說，“也許機(jī)動(dòng)雪橇可以整夜不停地跑，但是英國人不能??！英國人不可能贏，羅阿爾。他們不懂雪性，而我們懂。而且他們行進(jìn)速度非常緩慢?！?#39;Perhaps ， 'Amundsen said 'But I want to win this race So we're going to start earl

8、y ！ Do you understand ？ '“也許如此，”阿蒙森說，“無論如何我想贏得這次競(jìng)賽，所以我們要早些出發(fā)！你們理解嗎？”It was quiet and warm inside Framheim Bjaaland looked at Amundsen ， and thought about the long ， cold journey in front of him He thought about the dogs in their holes under the snow ， and listened to the wind over the house '

9、;When ， Roald ？ 'he said quietly 弗雷門海姆的房內(nèi)寧靜而溫暖。比阿蘭德看著阿蒙森，思考起擺在面前漫長寒冷的旅程；想著那些躲在雪洞里的狗兒們；聽著屋外的寒風(fēng)。 “什么時(shí)候出發(fā)，羅阿爾？”他輕聲地問。'On August 24th The sun comes back on that day We start then '“ 8 月 24 日，從那天起就又要出太陽了。我們就在那時(shí)出發(fā)?！?#39;But we can't ！ 'Johansen said He looked angry ， and un-happy '

10、That's too early ！We can't start then it's danger-ous and stupid ！ '“我們不能那時(shí)就出發(fā)！”約翰森說。他顯得很生氣，一臉不快?！斑@太早了！我們不能在那個(gè)時(shí)候出發(fā)，那是危險(xiǎn)又愚蠢的做法！”Amundsen looked at Johansen coldly 'You're wrong ， Jo-hansen ， 'he said 'Wewant to win ， remember ？ So we start on August 24th '阿蒙森冷冷地看著約

11、翰森?！澳沐e(cuò)了，約翰森，”他說，“別忘了，我們想取得勝利。所以，我們的出發(fā)時(shí)間為8 月 24 日?！盉jaaland listened to the winter wind outside比阿蘭德聆聽著窗外的寒風(fēng)。* * * * *In Scott's camp ， at Cape Evans ， no one talked about Amundsen and no one worked hard They had good food， and they played football on the snow Theywrote a newspaper The south Polar

12、 Times and read books No one learnt to ski ， no one worked on the motor sledges Twice ， men went for long jour-neys across the snow They walked ， and pulled the sledges themselves Oates stayed at Cape Evans and looked after his ponies 開普埃文斯，斯科特的營地里，沒有任何人談?wù)撈鸢⒚缮那闆r，沒有任何人在努力地干活兒。他們吃好東西，在雪地上踢足球，編了一份定名為南極時(shí)報(bào)的報(bào)紙，翻閱書籍。沒有人學(xué)滑雪，也沒有人保養(yǎng)機(jī)動(dòng)雪橇。這些人兩度進(jìn)行過橫穿雪原的漫長旅程。他們走路不算，反而還得拉著雪橇走。奧茨留在開普埃文斯，喂養(yǎng)小馬。Over the window in Cape Evans ， Scott put a map of Antarc-tica With a pen ， he made a line from Cape Evans to the South Pole ， and he put a little Britisn Flag at the Pole U
