  • ……这些壮举,而且举重若轻。南森也是如此。还有沙克尔顿,虽然他看起来没那么轻松写意……基本上Roland Huntford写的关于极地探险的所有书都能带来巨大的启发。《The Last Place on Earth》涵盖了阿蒙森和斯科特(后者专门迎难而上,弄得无比艰难,最后还送了命)。

    …things and made them look easy. Nansen also. And Shackleton, although he didn't make them look easy... Basically everything written by Roland Huntford about polar exploration is great inspiration. The Last Place on Earth covers Amundsen and Scott (the latter who did difficult things and made them look hard and died.)

  • 罗尔德·阿蒙森——首位到达南极的人。重点不在于成就本身,而在于实现成就的方式。如果有兴趣,可以读读《The Last Place on Earth: Scott and Amundsen's Race to the South Pole》。

    Roald Amundsen --- The first man to reach the south pole. It's not the accomplishment itself, but the way it was accomplished. If interested, read "The Last Place on Earth: Scott and Amundsen's Race to the South Pole."

  • 我一直在读《The Last Place on Earth》,作者对斯科特相当不屑,认为他不过是个从未做足准备、拒绝吸取教训的半吊子,而且他参与的探险就没一次不是搞得……

    I've been reading "The Last Place on Earth", and the author is quite disdainful of Scott, who he views as a dilettante who never prepared properly, refused to learn from his mistakes, and who was never involved in an expedition that didn't run…

  • ……零食,但要把它做得好吃实在太难了,因为传统食谱本来就不是为了美味而设计的。只要一加上海豹油脂,味道就变得极其感人。我刚读完《The Last Place on Earth》,讲的是南极竞速的故事,阿蒙森当时的执念之一就是必须确保队里有一个经验丰富的北极厨师。

    …snacks, but it was really difficult to get them tasty, because the traditional recipes were not made to be tasty. As soon as there’s seal fat included, that gets awfully difficult. I just finished "The Last Place on Earth", about the race to the south pole, and one of Amundsen's obsessions was with ensuring that he had an experienced arctic cook.

  • ……幽默。《On the Move》——Oliver Sacks的自传。见解深刻且鼓舞人心,尤其是对喜欢写作的人而言。《Ready Player One》——一部反乌托邦赛博惊悚小说。让我想起了《Snow Crash》。很赞的书。《The Last Place on Earth》——对奔向南北极点的竞赛及其地缘政治影响做了很好的(尽管读起来略显费劲)总结。《Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance》——在我的书单上放了好多年了。很长但很棒。《Steve…

    …humor. "On the Move" - Oliver Sacks's biography. Insightful and uplifting, especially if you enjoy writing. "Ready Player One" - a dystopian cyber thriller. Reminded me of Snow Crash. Good stuff. "The Last Place on Earth" - a good (if labored) summary of the races to the north and south poles and their geopolitical impacts. "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" - been on my list for years. Long but good. "Steve…
