理清故事脉络,关注主旨升华
本文是一篇叙事类记叙文。此类记叙文一般按时间顺序推进,其结构通常是“交代事情的背景和起因——叙述事情的经过——陈述事情的结果并进行评价”。读文时注意理清故事脉络,从而把握文章主旨。本文主要讲述了两位极地探险家去南极的经历,描述了两队南极之旅前的准备、到达南极目的地的过程,以及Scott和队员的回程。其中最后一段运用引言的写作手法对Scott进行高度评价,从而使文章主旨得到升华:虽然Scott探险队并未赢得胜利,但他们所表现出的不屈不挠、顽强勇敢的精神赢得了全世界的赞誉与尊重。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.Scott and Amundsen waited anxiously for spring.
赏析:句中使用副词anxiously形象地描述了斯科特和阿蒙森急切出发的心情,同时也从侧面反映出他们所处环境的恶劣。副词主要用来加强程度。
2.He had teams of dogs pulling the sledges and all his men were on skis ... After a while, Scott and his men had to push the sledges themselves.
赏析:语段中分别使用动词pull和push描述两队不同的情况,真实地说明天气变化给斯科特团队带来的困难,为后文的失败埋下伏笔。
3.Amundsen and his team arrived safely back to their starting base on 25 January, 1912, ten days ahead of their planned schedule.
赏析:句中使用了schedule 一词,意为“计划(表);时间表”,说明阿蒙森团队出发前做了周密的安排,为成功到达南极提供了保障。该词也可作动词,意为“安排,预定”。

会议安排在星期五下午。
(二)赏句式之高
1.While he was on the way to Antarctica, he received a message from the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen which said he was going south, too.
赏析:while引导时间状语从句,意为“当……的时候”;which引导定语从句,修饰先行词a message。该句开启下文的南极探险比赛之旅,引发读者的阅读兴趣。
2.Then came the total darkness of the polar winter.
赏析:时间状语Then置于句首引起完全倒装,强调事件发展的顺序。该句表现了极地环境的恶劣,以及探险家们对南极之旅的渴望心情。
3.... we are unendingly cheerful, but what each man feels in his heart I can only guess.
赏析:句中what引导宾语从句,作guess的宾语,正常语序为:I can only guess what each man feels in his heart。该句表现了队员们虽然处境艰难,但不畏艰险,奋勇向前。

(三)赏描摹之韵
1.(对话描写)Scott recorded his death:“He said,‘I am just going outside and may be some time.’ ...”
赏析:死亡对于一个人来说,或许是一件可怕的事情,但奥茨在面对死亡时所表现出的勇气和坦然却令人肃然起敬。通过对人物语言的刻画,生动直观地反映人物的心理,相互映衬,引人思考。
2.(心理描写)What lots and lots I could tell you of this journey ... What tales you would have for the boys. But what a price to pay.
