The Sun Returns to Little America
陽光再普照至小亞美利加
For days the twilight hours which had numbered less than four in the middle of the long southern night had been lengthening, a little at a time.
在漫長的南方之夜中，能看到太陽微光的時候不到四個小時，但是時間接連數日一直在延長，一次比一次長。
One week, there were five hours of twilight; the next six.
一周達到了五個小時，下一周竟達到六個小時。
Then there were ten, and down along the horizon could be seen for a space each day a promising golden tint.
然后達到十個小時，沿著地平線向下，每天都能看到一片金色的天空。
Finally there came a day when the sun itself was actually visible for a minute or so.
終于有一天，太陽本身真的出現了一分鐘左右。
This was not a true sunrise, however.
然而，這并不是日出。
But only a few days later, the sun itself rose majestic and bright one morning above the horizon.
但就在幾天后的一天早晨，太陽在地平線上升起，莊嚴而明亮。
The little village in Antarctica was like another world!
南極洲的小村莊就像另一個世界！
For the stalwart crew and their slim, quiet commander, that must have been a time of great excitement which followed the return of the sun to the vast whiteness that made up the Ross Ice Field.
對于堅定的船員和體態輕盈寡言少語的指揮官而言，那一定是一個激動人心的時刻，陽光又回到了組成羅斯冰原的白茫茫之中。
There was, to begin with, the change from the glow of electricity inside the houses and the gray blackness of the out-of-doors to the sparkling beauty which the new sunlight made of the ice and snow.
首先，屋子里面的電光和屋子外面的灰暗變成了陽光照耀下的冰雪的美麗閃光。
