马纬度带那里有马么
'Are there horses in the Horse Latitudes?'
没有 亲爱的
'No, sweetheart.
曾经有个故事是这么说的 很久以前
'Story has it that many years
西班牙人乘船抵达西印度群岛时
ago when the Spanish sailed to the West Indies
他们将他们的马一同带往新世界
'they brought their horses with them to the New World
有时他们会碰到无风区
'and sometimes they ran out of
淡水也消耗殆尽
wind and then they ran out of fresh water as well.
我只能引用登山家埃德蒙 希拉里爵士本人的话
'I can only quote the mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary himself:
人无法选择成为伟人
"'Men do not decide to become extraordinary.
但可以选择成就丰功伟绩
"'They decide to accomplish extraordinary things.'"
你好 欢迎来到第二十五届年度伯爵宫廷船展
Greetings. Welcome to the 25th Annual Earls Court Boat Show,
星期日泰♥晤♥士♥报♥的约翰·卡瑞治为您报道
brought to you by "The Sunday Times" And John Courage.
闲话少说 提到勇气
Speaking of courage, without further ado,
我想欢迎一位最伟大的英雄
I would like to welcome one of our greatest heroes,
第一位独自完成环球航行的人
the first man to single-handedly circumnavigate the globe,
如今已封为皇家骑士的弗朗西斯·奇切斯特先生
and now a Knight of the Realm, Sir Francis Chichester.
谢谢
Thank you.
谢谢
Thank you.
我能想到的唯一比
So the only thing that I can imagine that would test a man
独自一人环球航行 而中途只做一次停留
more than sailing around the world in a boat alone,
更能考验一个人的事情 只有毫不停留地完成旅行了
stopping only once, is not stopping at all.
而今天 星期日泰♥晤♥士♥报♥请我在此
And "The Sunday Times" Has asked me here today
发起这一挑战
to announce just such a challenge.
第一个前来报名的人会得到现金奖励
There will be a cash prize for the man who comes first,
而第一个完成挑战的人也将得到奖励
and a prize for the man who is fastest.
有关这项挑战的细节
And I believe the details
将会被刊登在明天的报纸上Nwill be in tomorrow's edition of the newspaper.
你会参加吗 弗朗西斯先生
Will you be entering, Sir Francis?
不 不 我已经享受过了自己的旅程
No, no, I've had my fun.
脱缰野马也别想将我再拉回险恶的南大洋
Wild horses wouldn't drag me back to the sinister Southern Ocean.
我相信有人曾说的
I believe a man said that the
波浪并非尺寸可丈量
waves there measured not in feet and inches,
而是随着内心的恐惧而增长
but in increments of fear.
独自航行的人
A man alone on a boat
比世上任何人都要孤独
is more alone than any man alive.
那为什么还有人去呢
Then why would anyone go?
嗯 这是个好问题
Well, that indeed is a fair question,
因为如果只是做别人做过的事情
because to only do what has been done before
就像是活在那个人的光环之下
is to live one's life in the shadow of other men.
单从这点来说
And for that reason alone,
大海的广阔令大多数人望而却步
we are blessed by the size of the sea,
而它的凶险又召唤着人们去冒险
and its siren call to men seeking adventure.
谢谢
Thank you.
所有梦想着
The question that any man
跨越地平线的人
who's dreamed himself beyond the horizon
都会问自己 我要去往何处
must ask himself is, "Where am I going?"
我敢肯定紧接着又会问
Closely followed, I assume,
上帝保佑 我又该如何回去
by, "How in God's name do I get back?"
没错 而这台设备能回答这两个问题
Precisely, and this device answers both of those questions
因为它可以定位经纬度
because it places the latitude and the longitude
就在你掌心
right in the palm of your hand.
领航者是每位航行者最信赖的伙伴

通过比较陆地无线电台的信♥号♥♥强度
By comparing signal strengths of radio beacons on land,
你就能知道你在大海的哪里了

詹姆斯 来 他相当于地平线处的一个无线电台
James, over here, is a radio beacon at Land's End.
而西蒙 在这儿 从拉罗谢尔传播信♥号♥♥

而且与其他定向仪不同
And unlike other directional finders,
它有一个内置的指南针 结构非常紧凑

这东西潜力无限
The possibilities are endless.
就连奇切斯特船长也能
Captain Chichester might've
在咆哮西风带中用到这家伙
benefitted from this out in the Roaring Forties.
也许吧 不过看来弗朗西斯爵士
Perhaps. It appears Sir Francis
没有用到它也顺利找到了路
managed to find his way around fine without it.
奇切斯特船长可不是人人都能做的
We can't all be Captain Chichester.
该死
Dan...
很聪明的设计 但是我们不常去海上航行

我确定我们刚刚差点就能卖♥♥掉一台 孩子们

家在哪个方向
Which way is home?
正东面 根据领航者的数据
Due east. According to the Navicator.
- 棒极了 - 告诉你妈妈这个怎么用的
- Very impressive. - Tell your mother how it works.
领航者是利用沿岸的无线电♥信♥♥号♥♥

It's marvellous.
有朝一日 我要用领航者去发现一个小岛
Someday I'll use the Navicator to find an island,
或者一整片新大♥陆♥ 就像怒海余生中那样
or a whole new continent, like in "Captains Courageous".
当心 故事里的那个男孩掉下船了 记得么
Be careful. The boy in that story fell overboard, remember.
小心点 回到这里来
Be careful. Come back here.

他在日记里写到 所有的白日梦都值得一寻 可惜了
In his diary he said, "All daydreams must go." Pity that.
梦想是行动的种子
"Dreams are the seeds of action."
我们都要好好记住
We'd all do well to remember that.
准备着亲自践行

一个人在一条船上呆九个月 你要不是喝醉了就是疯了
Alone on a boat for nine months? You're either drunk or mad.
我们应该再喝一杯 那样就能驱走疯狂了
We should have another drink, so that we can rule out madness.
正如奇切斯特所说 任何一个
As Chichester said, "Any
傻瓜都能在环球航行时保持清醒
damn fool can circumnavigate the world sober.
而一个优秀的水手却得喝醉了才能去 再来杯一样的吗
"It takes a really good sailor to do it drunk." Same again?

- Why not? - Yes, please.
- 加三英镑的 - 好的 先生
