【課文翻譯】

.勘查——或.勘探——是一項比較新的體育活動。尋求獨處的愿望或?qū)で笠馔獍l(fā)覺的機會的欲望吸引人們來到地下深處。要想對.探險者的動機作出滿足的解釋是不行能的。對.探險者來說，.有一種特別的魅力，就像高山對登山者有特別魅力一樣。為什么洞空能引發(fā)人的那種探險本能，人們對此只能有一種模模糊糊的理解。

探測特別深的.不是那些在星期日下午閑逛的人所能勝任的。這種活動需要有軍事行動般的周密布署和預(yù)見力量。有時需要花費整整8天時間來搭起繩梯，建立供應(yīng)基地，然后才能到一個很深的.里。作出這樣的預(yù)備是必要的，由于無法預(yù)見到.探險者畢竟會遇到什么性質(zhì)的困難。世界上最深的.是格里諾布爾四周的高弗.伯杰洞，深達3,723英尺。這個深邃的.是由一條地下暗泉沖刷巖石中的縫隙并使之漸漸變大而形成的。此洞的洞口在丹芬阿爾卑斯山的高原上，僅6英尺寬，很難被發(fā)覺。若不是法國.探險家伯杰由于偶然的機會發(fā)覺了這個洞口的話，這個洞或許不會為人所知。自從被發(fā)覺以后，這個洞成了.探險者的珠穆朗瑪峰，人們多次進入洞內(nèi)探險，但至今尚有不少東西有待勘探。

最近，一隊.探險者下到了高弗.伯杰洞里。他們從高原上的窄縫進去，順著筆直陡峭的洞壁往下爬。來到一條狹窄的走廊上。他們不得不側(cè)著身子往前走，有時過淺溪，有時游過深潭。突然，他們來到一道瀑布前，那瀑布奔瀉而下，注入洞底一處地下湖里。他們跳入湖中，把各種器具裝上一只充氣的橡皮艇，聽任水流將他們帶往對岸。湖水冰冷刺骨，他們必需穿上一種特制的橡皮服以愛護自己。在湖的終點，他們見到一大堆一大堆由湖水沖刷上岸的碎石。在這兒，他們可以聽見一種連續(xù)不斷的轟鳴聲。后來他們發(fā)覺這是由山洞頂部的一個小孔里噴出的水柱跌落到水潭中發(fā)出的聲音。.探險者從巖石縫里擠身過去，來到一個巨大的洞里，其大小相當(dāng)于一個音樂廳。他們打開強力弧光燈，觀察一株株巨大的石筍，有的高達40英尺，像樹干似地向上長著，與洞頂懸掛下來的鐘乳石相接。四周是一堆堆石灰石，像彩虹一樣閃閃發(fā)光。洞里有一種可怕的安靜，的可以聽見的聲響是高高的圓頂上不間斷地滴水的嘀嗒聲。
