A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE

一次成功的失败经历

If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. -- W C Fields

如果起初不成功，就要一次又一次地尝试。-W.C．菲尔茨

Perce Blackborow joined an expedition with Sir Ernest Shackleton to

Antarctica on the ship

ENDURANCE

in August 1914. Shackleton was one of the most famous

explorers of his day and it

was considered a great honour to be part of any expeditions he led. Now read

the first part of

Perce's story.

1914 年 8 月，珀斯，布莱克鲍罗参加了欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士的“持久号”轮船

南

极探险。沙克尔顿是他那个时代最负盛名的探险家，加入他的探险活动被认为是一种

巨大的

荣耀。现在请看读帕斯所讲故事的第一部分。

August 29th, 1916

Slowly I put my head out of my sleeping bag and look around me. Everything

is grey: the inside

of the hut appears grey, the morning light looks grey and the pot bubbling on

the oil stove is grey.

The smell is, as usual, almost unbearable, being a mixture of sweat, seal oil fat

and dirty

underwear. I try to think of happier things: warm and dry clothes, a cosy

bedroom, sunny days, my

mother's face and the celebration we will get when we return, for I am part of

a failed expedition

that tried to cross the continent of Antarctica, something that had never been

done before. As I

think of this, a black blanket drops and covers me, almost blocking out the

memories of happier

times. I feel breathless as I remember my rotten toes that had to be removed

when they became

blackened from frostbite. Our circumstances are so desperate that it is

uncertain whether we will

ever return alive. Perhaps our bodies will be recognized and collected by

some other expedition

team many years from now.

1916 年 8 月 29 日

慢慢地，我把头探出睡袋，向四周看了看。一切都是灰色的：小屋里面看上去是灰

色的，

晨曦看上去是灰色的，燃油炉上噗噗作响的罐子也是灰色的。同往常一样，气味中混

合着汗

液、海豹油脂和脏内衣的味道，几乎让人难以忍受。我尝试着想一些快乐的事情：温

暖和干

爽的衣服、舒适的卧室、阳光灿烂的日子、妈妈的脸庞，以及返家后得到的庆贺，因

为我是

试图横穿南极大陆的一次失败探险活动的成员之一，这种事以前还没有人做过。正想

到这儿，

一条黑毛毯掉下来把我盖住，几乎把美好时光的记忆封闭住了。一想到由于冻伤变黑

而必须

截去的腐烂的脚趾头，我就感到喘不过气来。我们的境况让人绝望，谁也不清楚会不

会活着

回去。也许好些年后，我们的尸体会被其他探险队所辨认并搜集起来。

Just as I am about to become self-pitying, the door to our shelter opens and

a blast of cold air

tears through the hut. "Shut that door!" I yell in a hoarse voice that I hardly

recognize as my own.

"Hold on now. Perce. Don't you go turning into another Tom," comes the

reply . "We've caught

another penguin, so it’s penguin soup tonight!” Bless Frank Wild, the

kindest man there is, after

our leader, Ernest Shackleton. How could I become as selfish and bad-

tempered as Tom

Orde-Lees! I struggle out of my bed and a new day begins.

正当我快要变得自我怜惜起来时，我们营棚的门开了，一股冷空气穿过营棚。“把门

关上！”

我用一种自己都快辨认不出来的沙哑的嗓音嚷嚷道。“坚持下去，珀斯。不要变成另

一个汤

姆。”一个声音在应答。“我们又逮住了一只企鹅，今晚有企鹅汤喝了！”保佑弗兰

克·怀尔

德，他可是我们的头儿欧内斯特·沙克尔顿之外最好的人啦。我怎么能像汤姆·奥德·利

兹

那样自私自利和脾气暴躁呢！我挣扎着下床，新的一天开始了。

When the expedition was announced, I was only twenty and I had always

dreamed of adventure.

So it was with great excitement one morning in July 1914 that I read this

Men wanted for a dangerous journey: small wages, bitter cold, months of

complete

darkness and safe return uncertain. Honour and reward will follow if it is

successful. Sir Ernest

Shackleton.

当初宣布探险活动时，我才20 岁，老梦想着要去冒险。所以在 1914 年 7月的一个

早晨，

我是怀着无比激动的心情读以下这则广告的：

为危险之旅招募人手：工资低廉、寒冷无比、数月不见天日、无法确保安全返回。

如果

成功，荣耀和报酬将会接踵而至。欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士。

An expedition with the great Sir Ernest Shackleton to the South Pole - I was

hooked ! I was an

amateur but I was young, fit and energetic. I secretly hid aboard the ship,

Endurance, in a small

cupboard. Nobody found me until the ship had sailed and I was suffering

badly from seasickness.

Anyhow, Shackleton seemed interested in my silly behaviour and accepted the

situation. He made

me a steward to help cook twenty-eight meals three times a day.

同伟大的欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士去南极探险——我被深深地迷住了！我是探险的

门

外汉，但我年轻，身体健康而且精力充沛。我偷偷地上了“持久号”轮船，藏在一个

小橱里。

直到轮船已开始航行了，我才被人发现，而且晕船晕得很厉害。不管怎么说，沙克尔

顿似乎

对我傻乎乎的行为感兴趣，并且接受了这种局面。他让我当一名伙计，协助做 28 个人

一天

三顿的饭菜。

On January 18th, 1915, the Endurance became stuck in pack ice (which can be

solid or broken

into huge floating pieces of ice) as we approached Antarctica. The ice froze

around us and we

were well and truly stuck! The ship was gradually crushed in front of our eyes.

I believe

Shackleton must have mourned this unexpected end to his expedition, but he

did not waste time on

regrets. Calling us calmly together, he made an urgent announcement that we

must save only

essential supplies before the strip sank, particularly the small boats, food,

cooking equipment,

candles, bedding and clothes. To show his determination, Shackleton threw

some gold coins and

his gold watch onto the ice. But to my surprise he encouraged Hussey to

bring his banjo. He

described it as vital for keeping us cheerful.

1915年 1 月 18 日，正当我们接近南极时，“持久号”被海上的浮冰（有的坚固无

比，

有的破裂成若干巨大的冰块浮在水上）卡住了。周围的冰都冻结了，我们千真万确地

被困住

了！轮船在我们的眼前慢慢地被挤坏。我相信沙克尔顿肯定会对这次探险意想不到的

结局感

到痛心，但他并没有把时间浪费在遗憾和悔恨中。他镇静地把大家召集在一起，然后

紧急宣

布我们必须在船沉下去之前，只抢出基本给养，尤其是小船、食物、炊具、蜡烛、卧

具和衣

服。为了显示自己的决心，沙克尔顿把一些金币和他的金表扔到冰上。然而，让我感

到惊讶

的是，他竞鼓励赫西带上班卓琴。他把班卓琴描述成让我们保持精神振奋的关键。

His perseverance won our complete faith in him. He was always honest with

us (as in the

advertisement) and never gave way to disappointment, even when the ship

sank. On April 9 1916,

we moved to our present camp on Elephant Island. Soon Shackleton set

out the framework for our

life here: no differences in rank or in social status; everyone to keep busy; a

fair division of food

and bedding; and a concern for all. This team-spirit contributed to the morale

of the crew and

saved our lives.

他的顽强精神赢得了我们对他的完全信赖。他对我们也总是坦诚相待（就像广告中那

样），

他从不灰心丧气，从不放弃，甚至当轮船沉下去时也是如此。1916 年 4 月 9 日，我们

搬到

了大象岛上现在的宿营地。不久沙克尔顿给我们这里的生活列出了规矩：取消级别和

社会地

位上的差异，每个人都得忙起来；公平分配食物和卧具；关心每一个人。这种团队精

神鼓舞

了船员们的士气，并挽救了我们的生命。

Once we were settled on Elephant Island, Shackleton explained his plan to

save us:

twenty-two of us were to remain here and he would select five others to go to

South Georgia and

bring help. No rescue attempt could be expected from outside as nobody

knew where we were. I

will never forget watching the little boat disappear through the booming

waves into the stormy

ocean. We who remained on Elephant Island swore that we would do as he

advocated: remain

optimistic and recover our health before he returned to rescue us.

我们在大象岛上一安顿好，沙克尔顿就马上向大家解释了他的营救计划：22 人留在这

里，

他挑选其他五个人去南乔治亚求援。由于谁也不知道我们身处何地，所以不能指望任

何外部

救援。我永远也不会忘记眼看着小船从哗哗作响的波浪中消失在波涛汹涌的大洋里的

情景。

留在大象岛上的人发誓要按他所主张的那样做：在他返回来救我们之前要保持乐观、

恢复健

康。

Unit 1 Reading and writing

“OPTIMISM HELPED US PERSEVERE”

“乐观帮助我们锲而不舍”

Left behind, we watched as Shackleton and the boat sailed away from

Elephant Island. The

danger of what lay ahead of them, the chances of them ever returning to find

us, the fear that we

might never know their fate and possible delays, at first made us feel low and

discouraged. But it

was not for long. There was nothing like a good dinner of penguin and some

dynamic music to

make a man feel more cheerful again.

我们留在了岛上，看着沙克尔顿和小船驶离大象岛。起初，他们将面临的危险、回来

寻

找我们的机会、以及害怕再也无从知晓他们的命运和可能的耽搁，都使我们情绪低落、

沮丧

不已。不过，这并没有持续很长时间。除了美味的企鹅餐和动感音乐外，没有其它东

西能再

让人感到愉快了。

Life now fell into a regular pattern. Just keeping alive took all our time and

energy. For

example, we had to gather fresh water by grasping and then melting sea-ice.

If this stands for a

period of time its salt disappears and it becomes fresh water suitable for

drinking. But melting the

ice was a problem. With no trees growing on Antarctica and no oil, the only

fuel we could use was

seal fat. This gave off oily, black smoke but had the advantage of burning

strongly in fierce winds.

We could also eat the remains when the fire died down.
