23、d his men made them heroes.译文参考南极的比赛1910年6月1日,罗伯特法尔肯斯科特船长离开伦敦,开始南极洲之旅。在去南极洲的路上,他收到了挪威探险家罗尔德阿蒙森的一封信,信中说他也要南下。然后,去南极的比赛开始了!19101911年的极地夏季,两个队伍都建立了食物储存处,为他们明年的旅程做准备。接着漆黑的极地冬夜开始了。斯科特和阿蒙森都焦急地等待着春天来临。1911年9月8日,阿蒙森第一个离开。他让成群的狗拉着雪橇,所有的人都在滑雪板上。正因如此,他进展很快。斯科特于11月1日离开,不久就出现了问题。先是他的两辆雪橇坏了,后来马匹开始在大雪和严寒的天气下出现严重问题
24、。过了不久,斯科特和他的队员们不得不自己推雪橇。1911年12月14日,阿蒙森到达南极,并在那里插上挪威国旗。然后他准备返回。阿蒙森和他的队友们在1912年1月25日平安回到起始基地,比计划的时间还提前了十天。1912年1月17日,斯科特和4名队员终于到达了南极。他们看到挪威国旗时感到非常震惊。斯科特在日记中写道:“好吧,我们现在已经失去了雄心壮志的目标,并且必须面对800英里的艰苦跋涉告别我们大部分人的梦想。”这次返程是探险史上最糟糕的一次。队员们很快就精疲力竭,食物也快吃完了。天气很糟糕。斯科特开始意识到他们的绝望处境:“我们很开心,但每个人心里的感受我只能猜测。早上穿鞋子的速度也越来越慢
25、了。”然而,在回来的路上,他们找时间搜集岩石。他们一路上带着20公斤的石块。后来,这些石块可以证实,在遥远的过去,南极洲曾经被植物覆盖。然后灾难来了。埃德加埃文斯得了重病,摔了一跤就死了。接下来离开的是奥茨船长,他行走非常困难。斯科特记录了他的死亡:“他说,我正要出去,也许得一段时间我们知道可怜的奥茨正在走向死亡,但尽管我们试图阻止他,我们都知道这是一个勇敢的人和一个英国绅士的行为。我们都希望以类似的精神迎接结束,当然结束也不远了。”斯科特和两名队员继续向前,到达距离食品储存处不足11英里的地方。但紧接着一场可怕的风暴开始了,他们根本不能离开帐篷。斯科特花了他最后几个小时的时间写作。他给妻子凯瑟琳写了一封充满悲伤的信:“我可以告诉你很多关于这次旅行的事情。你会给我们的孩子讲些什么故事呢但要付出多大的代价。”斯科特的日记也讲述了他们的结局:“我们越来越虚弱,结局不可能太远。这似乎很遗憾,但我认为我不能再写更多了。”斯科特去世的消息震惊了全世界。就连阿蒙森也被斯科特的死感动了,他说“斯科特船长为诚实、真诚、勇敢以及一切造就一个男人的品质留下了记录。”虽然他没能赢得去南极的比赛,但斯科特和他的队员们所展现出的巨大勇气使他们成为英雄。
