第 67 课 · 火山 Lesson 67 · Volcanoes

哈龙·塔兹耶夫是一位波兰科学家,他毕生致力于研究世界各地的活火山和深洞。

Haroun Tazieff, the Polish scientist, has spent his lifetime studying active volcanoes and deep caves in all parts of the world.

1948年,他前往刚果的基伍湖去观察一座新火山,后来他把这座火山命名为基图罗。

In 1948, he went to Lake Kivu in the Congo to observe a new volcano which he later named Kituro.

塔兹耶夫能够在离火山非常近的地方搭建营地,而此时火山正在猛烈喷发。

Tazieff was able to set up his camp very close to the volcano while it was erupting violently.

虽然他设法拍到了许多精彩的照片,但他无法在火山附近待太长时间。

Though he managed to take a number of brilliant photographs, he could not stay near the volcano for very long.

他注意到一股液态岩石正朝他涌来。

He noticed that a river of liquid rock was coming towards him.

熔岩眼看就要将他完全包围,但塔兹耶夫恰好及时逃脱了。

It threatened to surround him completely, but Tazieff managed to escape just in time.

他等待着,直到火山平静下来,两天后他才得以返回。

He waited until the volcano became quiet and he was able to return two days later.

这一次,他设法爬进了基图罗火山口,以便拍照和测量温度。

This time, he managed to climb into the mouth of Kituro so that he could take photographs and measure temperatures.

塔兹耶夫经常以这种方式冒生命危险。

Tazieff has often risked his life in this way.

他能够告诉我们的关于活火山的知识,比任何在世的人都多。

He has been able to tell us more about active volcanoes than any man alive.
