Now let's just have a look at the Antarctic Treaty.
現在讓我們看看南極洲條約。
How far back does the idea of an international treaty go?

Well,as far back as the 19th century,when eleven nations organised an international event.

When was that exactly?

In 1870.And it was called the Polar Research Meeting.

And then,not long after that,they organised something called the First International Polar Year.
不久之后，他們組織了第一次國際極地年。
And that took place when exactly?

Over two years from 1882 to 1883.But it wasn't until the 1950s that the idea of an international treaty was proposed.

Well,firstly it means that the continent is reserved for peaceful use.

That's Article 1,isn't it? Yes...
這是第一條，對嗎？是的。
That's important since the territory belongs to everyone.

Yes but not as important as Article 5,which prohibits any nuclear explosions or waste disposal.
是的，但是它沒有第五條重要，即禁止任何核爆炸和廢物處理。
Which is marvellous.Well,I'm afraid we're going to have to stop there because I'm afraid we've run out of time.
太了不起了。恐怕我們今天得到這里了，因為我們沒有時間了。
