A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE
Perce Blackborow joined an expedition① with Sir Ernest Shackleton to Antarctica on the ship Endurance② in 1914.Shackleton was one of the most famous explorers of his day③ and it was considered a great honour to be part of his expeditions[1].Below are some of Blackborow's diary entries④.
31 Oct 1914
...Well, it so happened that one morning I bought a newspaper and read the advertisement about the Antarctic expedition[2].
[1]to be part of his expeditions 是动词不定式短语作真正的主语,it 作形式主语。
[2]it so happened that ...意为“碰巧……”,在该句式中it 作形式主语,that 引导的从句作真正的主语。
An expedition to the South Pole with the great Sir Ernest Shackleton—this is the adventure that I have been dreaming of[3].And I was ready for it.At the age of 19, I am fit and full of vigour⑤.
However, when I applied to join⑥ the expedition, Shackleton turned me down⑦ because he thought I was too young and wasn't qualified⑧[4]. But I was so enthusiastic⑨about the idea of going along with⑩ them that I secretly went aboard⑪ his ship,the Endurance, and hid in a small cupboard⑫[5]. Unfortunately⑬, three days after we set off⑭ I was discovered.Shackleton did not want to turn back so he offered me a job, but only after he promised me, “If anyone has to be eaten, then you will be the first!” He assigned⑮ me to be a steward⑯, and I now serve⑰meals for twentyeight men, three times a day.
[3]that 引导定语从句,修饰先行词the adventure。从句中have been dreaming of使用了现在完成进行时。
学生用书第109页
[4]该句中because 引导原因状语从句,其中 I was too young and wasn't qualified 是省略了引导词that 的宾语从句,作动词thought的宾语。
[5]该句是that引导的结果状语从句。
How everyone will envy⑱me when I come back and tell them about the amazing places I have been to![6]
[6]该句是How 引导的感叹句,其中when 引导时间状语从句,I have been to 是省略了引导词that 或which的定语从句,修饰先行词amazing places。
21 Nov 1915
The journey has not been easy.Endurance became stuck in the ice as we approached Antarctica[7].The ice froze around us and we were well and truly⑲ stuck! We saw the ship get crushed⑳ by the ice.And when the ship sank㉑[8], our hearts sank with it.
[7]该句是as引导的时间状语从句。
[8]该句是when 引导的时间状语从句。
Before we abandoned㉒ the ship, Shackleton calmly called us together and told us to rescue our most essential supplies—the small boats, our food, the cook stove㉓, candles, clothes, and blankets㉔.This was no time to panic㉕.We were not allowed to take most of our personal belongings㉖, and Shackleton himself threw away all his gold.But to our surprise, he allowed Hussey to keep his banjo㉗.Hussey often plays it to keep our spirits up㉘.
We are now camped on the ice and we have been managing to survive, but spring is coming[9], and the ice will soon begin to melt.
20 May 1916
We have been struggling for days, but things on Elephant Island are going from bad to worse㉙.We are now crowded together under one of our boats on the rocky shore of this miserable㉚ place.Soon after㉛ we arrived, Shackleton left us to find help on South Georgia Island, 1,320 kilometres away — the voyage㉜ was too dangerous and difficult for all of us to make
学生用书第110页
it㉝ in our small boats[10]. If Shackleton fails[11],will we have any hope of rescue? No.No navy㉞in the world ever stops at Elephant Island, and no one else knows that we are here[12].
[10]该句中含有too ... to ...结构,意为“太……而不能……”。
[11]该句是If引导的条件状语从句。
[12]该句是that 引导的宾语从句,作动词knows的宾语。
I feel low㉟.It's cold and windy.The island has no plants.Sometimes we are able to catch a seal or a penguin to eat.Otherwise, there is no food.I try to think of happier things: decent㊱ food, warm and dry clothes, a cosy㊲ bedroom, sunny days, and my mother's face ...However, these happy memories are soon interrupted by㊳ a sudden cold rush of㊴air.
I shouted, “Shut the door!”
“Hold on㊵ now, Perce.Don't you go turning into㊶ another Tom,” came 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 selfish㊷ and badtempered㊸ as Thomas OrdeLees![13]
Without Frank and Ernest, we'd all be dead by now.[14] Their genuine㊹ concern for others, their perseverance㊺, and their resolve㊻ fill me with hope.
[14]该句是含有without介词短语的隐含的虚拟条件句。
Perhaps there is a chance we will return home, after all㊼.

一次成功的失败
珀西·布莱克博罗于1914年加入欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士的“坚忍”号南极探险之旅。沙克尔顿是那个时代最负盛名的探险家之一,参加他的探险活动被视为极大的荣耀。以下是布莱克博罗的几篇日记摘录。
1914年10月31日
……好吧,一天早晨,我碰巧买了份报纸,看到了这则有关南极探险的招募广告。
学生用书第111页
跟随伟大的欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士前往南极探险——这可是我梦寐以求的冒险之旅啊。而且,我万事俱备。我今年19岁,身体健康,精力充沛。然而,当我申请参加这次探险时,沙克尔顿却拒绝了我,因为他认为我太年轻,不具备资格。但是,满怀着想要与他们同赴南极的热情,我偷偷地爬上了他的“坚忍”号轮船,躲在一个小橱柜里。不幸的是,在我们出发三天后,我被发现了。沙克尔顿不想掉头,于是他给了我一份工作,但他要我答应他:“如果有人得被吃掉,那么你就是第一个!”他指派我担任服务员,我现在为28名船员供应一日三餐。
当我回来告诉他们我去过的那些神奇的地方,大家该会多么羡慕我啊!
1915年11月21日
这趟旅程并不轻松。在我们靠近南极时,“坚忍”号卡在了冰里。冰把我们周围都冻住了,我们彻底被卡住了!我们眼睁睁看着轮船被冰挤毁。船沉了,我们的心也跟着下沉。
在我们弃船之前,沙克尔顿镇定地把大家召集在一起,告诉我们要抢救最需要的供给品——小船、食物、炊具、蜡烛、衣服和毛毯。这不是惊慌失措的时候。我们绝大部分的个人物品都被禁止携带,沙克尔顿自己则扔掉了他所有的黄金。然而,令我们惊讶的是,他允许赫西带上他的班卓琴。赫西经常会弹奏班卓琴,以振奋我们的精神。
现在,我们在冰层上扎营,一直在设法生存下来,但是,春天就要来了,冰层很快就会融化。
1916年5月20日
我们已苦苦挣扎多日,但是象岛上的情况越来越糟糕。现在,在这个悲惨之地的岩石海岸,我们挤在一艘小船下。我们来到此处不久之后,沙克尔顿就离开我们,前往1 320公里之外的南乔治亚岛寻求帮助——这一航行对于我们所有人而言太危险、太艰难了,乘坐小船肯定无法每个人都到达。如果沙克尔顿失败了,我们还有任何获救的希望吗?没有。全世界没有海军会停靠象岛,也没有其他人知道我们在这里。
我感到十分沮丧。天冷风大。岛上没有任何植物,有时我们能抓到一只海豹或企鹅来充饥。除此以外,没有任何食物。我试着去想让人开心的事情:美味的食物、暖和的干衣服、舒适的卧房、晴朗的天气,还有妈妈的脸庞……然而,这些快乐的回忆很快被突然涌进的一股冷空气打断。
我吼道:“把门关上!”
传来一声回答:“要坚持住啊,珀西。你可不要变成另一个汤姆。”“我们又抓到了一只企鹅,今晚有企鹅汤喝了!”
上天保佑弗兰克·怀尔德,他是除了我们的领队欧内斯特·沙克尔顿之外最和蔼可亲的人。我怎么可以变得像托马斯·奥德利斯那样自私和脾气暴躁呢!
要不是有弗兰克和欧内斯特,我们到现在早就没命了。他们对他人的真诚关怀、他们的毅力以及坚定的信念,让我充满了希望。
毕竟,我们也许还有机会回家。
