Volcanoes(L67)
Haroun Tazieff, the Polish scientist, has spent his lifetime studying active volcanoes and deep caves in all parts of the world. In 1948, he went to Lake Kivu in the Congo to observe a new volcano which he later named Kituro. Tazieff was able to set up his camp very close to the volcano while it was erupting violently.
波蘭科學(xué)家哈羅恩·塔捷耶夫花了畢生精力研究世界各地的活火山和深洞。在1948年,他去了剛果的基伍湖去觀察一個(gè)新的火山,后來(lái)他給起名叫基圖羅。塔捷耶夫可以在火山噴發(fā)時(shí),將他的帳篷搭在非常近的地方。
Though he managed to take a number of brilliant photographs, he could not stay near the volcano for very long. He noticed that a river of liquid rock was coming towards him. It threatened to surround him completely, but Tazieff managed to escape just in time. He waited until the volcano became quiet and he was able to return two days later.
雖然他努力拍了很多很棒的照片,但他還是不能呆在火山附近太久。他注意到一條巖漿河正朝他流來(lái),眼看就要把他團(tuán)團(tuán)圍住,但塔捷耶夫還是及時(shí)逃出來(lái)了。他一直等到巖漿冷卻,兩天后才又能夠回去。
This time, he managed to climb into the mouth of Kituro so that he could take photographs and measure temperatures. Tazieff has often risked his life in this way. He has been able to tell us more about active volcanoes than any man alive.
這次,他努力去爬到基圖羅的火山口里,在那里能拍照和計(jì)算溫度。塔捷耶夫經(jīng)常這么拿命冒險(xiǎn)。他總是能告訴我們比其他所有人更多的活火山的信息!
