"It's Day 45 of our expedition to the South Pole. This must be one of the most difficult days I've ever had," I thought with a heavy breath as I walked against the wind and snow in sub-zero temperatures. We're finally just a few miles away from our destination.
“今天是我們南極探險的第45天，這一定是我經歷的最艱難的日子之一。”當我在零度以下頂風冒雪前行的時候，我這樣想著，此時我呼吸困難，我們離最后的目的地只有幾里之遙了。
This whole trip has been very difficult. We've been walking around 12 hours a day and I'm very tired. However, I can't complain because it's nothing compared to the journey of Roald Amundsen. Whenever I almost gave up, I tried to think of how he overcame his difficulties more than 100 years ago.
整個旅程非常艱難，我們每天步行大約12個小時，我很累。但是，我不能抱怨，因為和羅阿爾德·阿蒙德森的行程比起來這不算什么。每當我想放棄的時候，我就想100多年前他是如何克服這些困難的。
This journey has been special even though at times it felt like it was never going to end. First, it's not easy to move over the white snow and ice that feels like an ocean. Sometimes it's white everywhere and it's hard to see more than a few metres ahead because of storms. Luckily, we have planned the route well.
盡管有時候看起來這條路好像沒有盡頭，但這次旅程很特殊。首先，在冰雪世界里面行進，就像置身海洋之中。有時候，白茫茫的一片，因為有風暴我們只能看幾米遠。幸運的是我們之前已經規劃好了路線。
Another challenge of the journey is preparing food. For example, we have to eat any hot food fast as it gets cold quickly. Sometimes, we just have some nuts and sweets since there's no time to stop for a proper meal. Even so, we've always made sure that we eat the right food so that we can continue our journey with enough energy.
旅程的另外一個挑戰就是準備食物的問題。例如，我們必須很快吃掉熱的食物，因為它很快就變涼了。有時我們只吃一些堅果和甜食，因為我們根本沒有時間停下做飯。即便如此，我們也要確保我們吃的食物能讓我們有足夠的體能繼續我們的旅程。
I think the hardest part is to protect our feet. It would be awful if we couldn't get to the pole because of injuries. Our team doctor has always treated our injuries well and has kept us in good shape.
我認為最難的事情是保護我們的雙腳。如果我們因為受傷無法到達頂點那就很糟糕了。我們的隊醫悉心處理我們的傷病，讓我們能夠保持身體健康。
It will feel wonderful to be finally standing at the South Pole. This expedition has taught me that we need to overcome all kinds of difficulties before we can succeed and that we should never give up.
最后站在南極點感覺很美妙，這次探險教會了我一個道理，我們在成功之前需要克服種種困難，我們要永不放棄。
