the race to the pole 原文翻译
The Race to the Pole
On 1 June,1910,Captain Scott left London to begin his Antarctic expedition.On his way,he received a telegram from the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen:"I'm going South."So the race to the South Pole was on!
During the polar summer of 1910-1911,both teams organised food depots in preparation for their expeditions the following year.Then came the total darkness of the polar winter.Scott and Amundsen waited impatiently for the first signs of spring.
Amundsen was the first to leave,on 15 October,1911.He had team of dogs pulling the sledges and all his men were on skis.Because of this,he made rapid progress.
Scott left on 1 November and soon had problems.First,his two motor sledges broke down,and then the ponies began to have serious difficulties with the snow and the cold.After a while,Scott and his men had to push the sledges themselves.
Amundsen reached the Pole on 14 December and put a Norwegian flag there.Then he prepared for the return journey.
Scott finally arrived at the Pole with four companions on 17 January.They were devastated when they saw the Norwegian flag.Scott wrote bitterly in his diary:
"Well,we have now lost the goal of our ambition and must face 800 miles of hard pushing and goodbye to most of our dreams."
The return journey was one of the worst in the history of exploration.
The men were soon exhausted and were running out of food.The weather conditions were terrible.Scott started to realise their desperate situation:"Amongst ourselves we are very cheerful,but what each man feels in his heart I can only guess.Putting on our shoes in the morning is getting slower and slower."
Despite this,on their way back they found time to look for rocks and fossils.They carried 20 kilos of rocks all the way with them.Later,these rocks proved that at one time in the distant past Antarctica was covered by plants.However,disaster soon struck.Edgar Evans had terrible frostbite and died after a bad fall.
The next to go was Captain Oates,who was having great difficulty walking.Scott recorded his death:"He said,'I am just going outside and I may be some time.' We knew that poor Oates was walking to his death,but though we tried to stop him,we knew that it was the act of a brave man and an English gentleman.We all hope to meet the end with a similar spirit,and certainly the end is not far."
Scott and two companions carried on and got within eleven miles of one of their food depots.But then a terrible storm started and they could not leave their tent.Scott spent some of his last hours writing.He wrote a letter full of sadness to his wife Kathleen:"To my Widow,I could tell you lots and lots about this journey.What stories you would have for the boy..But what a price to pay."
Scott's final diary entry told the story of their end:"The depot is only 11 miles away,but I do not think we can hope for any better things now.We are getting weaker and weaker and the end can't be far.It seems a pity,but I do not think I can write more."
The news of Scott's death shocked the world.He had failed to win the race to the Pole,but the remarkable courage shown by Captain Scott and his men made them into heroes.
第二十三课 南极远征
冲向极点的赛跑
1910年六月一日，Scott船长离开伦敦开始他的南极远征。他在路上收到了挪威探险家Roald Amundsen的电报：“我在向南前进。”就这样冲向南极点的赛跑开始了。
1910到1911年间的南极的那个夏天，两支队伍都为他们来年的远征做好了粮食补给站的准备。接着漆黑的极地冬季降临了。Scott和Amundsen焦急地等待着春天到来的第一个信号。1911年十月15日，Amundsen率先出发。他拥有拉雪橇的狗群和使用滑雪板的手下人。因此，他的进展很迅速
。Scott十一月1日出发而且很快就遇到了问题。首先，他的两辆摩托雪橇抛锚了，接着马们开始难以应对风雪和寒冷。那之后，Scott和他的手下不得不自己推着雪橇。
Amundsen于十二月14日抵达极点并立上了挪威的国旗。接着他开始筹划归途。
Scott和剩余的四名伙伴一月17日才最终到达极点。当他们看到挪威的国旗就彻底崩溃了。Scott在他的日记中悲痛地写道：“啊，我们已经失去了我们野心的目标，而且必须面临800英里的艰难前行，并放弃我们的梦想。”
归途是这段探索历史上最糟糕的一个部分。
手下们马上就懈怠了，食物就要吃光了。天气状况很糟糕。Scott开始意识到他们这令人绝望的境地：“牵扯到我们大家，我觉得我们还有希望，但我对于各人心中的想法只能猜测。他们早上穿鞋的动作越来慢了。”
尽管如此，在路上他们有时间寻找石头和化石。他们一路搬了20千克的岩石。后来，这些岩石证明了在很久以前某段时间，南极曾被植被覆盖过。然而，灾难很快就沉重地打击了他们。Edgar Evans患上了很严重的冻伤，并在种种一跌之后死去了。
下一个离世的是走路都困难的Oates船长。Scott记录了他的死亡：“他说，‘我就出去一下很快回来’，我们知道可怜的Oates正在走向他的死亡，但尽管我们试图阻止他，我们知道那是一个勇敢的男人，一个英国绅士的行为。我们都希望怀着这样的精神走向自己的终点，事实上，终点已经不远了。”
Scott和两个陪同者继续前进，他们离其中一个食品补给站仅有11英里了。但是一场巨大的风暴开始了，他们无法离开他们的帐篷。Scott用他最后的几个小时时间进行了写作。他满心悲痛地给他的妻子Kathleen写了一封信：“致我的遗孀，我本可以给你关于这次旅程讲许多许多，你也可以将给孩子的故事。但是这是多么大的代价啊。”
Scott的最后以一篇日记讲述了他们的终点：“补给站只有11英里远了，但是我不认为我们可以对那里有好东西抱有任何希望。我们越来越虚弱了，我们离死也差不多了。虽然这很遗憾，但是我不认为我还能再写什么了。”
Scott的死讯震惊了世界。他输了冲向极点的比赛，但是他和他手下们惊人的勇气使他们成为了人们心中的英雄。
