"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.
“今天是我们南极探险的第45天，这一定是我经历的最艰难的日子之一。”当我在零度以下顶风冒雪前行的时候，我这样想着，此时我呼吸困难，我们离最后的目的地只有几里之遥了。
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.
整个旅程非常艰难，我们每天步行大约12个小时，我很累。但是，我不能抱怨，因为和罗阿尔德·阿蒙德森的行程比起来这不算什么。每当我想放弃的时候，我就想100多年前他是如何克服这些困难的。
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.
尽管有时候看起来这条路好像没有尽头，但这次旅程很特殊。首先，在冰雪世界里面行进，就像置身海洋之中。有时候，白茫茫的一片，因为有风暴我们只能看几米远。幸运的是我们之前已经规划好了路线。
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.
旅程的另外一个挑战就是准备食物的问题。例如，我们必须很快吃掉热的食物，因为它很快就变凉了。有时我们只吃一些坚果和甜食，因为我们根本没有时间停下做饭。即便如此，我们也要确保我们吃的食物能让我们有足够的体能继续我们的旅程。
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.
我认为最难的事情是保护我们的双脚。如果我们因为受伤无法到达顶点那就很糟糕了。我们的队医悉心处理我们的伤病，让我们能够保持身体健康。
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.
最后站在南极点感觉很美妙，这次探险教会了我一个道理，我们在成功之前需要克服种种困难，我们要永不放弃。
