A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE
Perce Blackborow joined an expedition with Sir Ernest Shackleton to Antarctica on the ship Endurance in 1914．Shackleton was one of the most famous explorers of his day and it was considered a great honour to be part of his expeditions．Below are some of Blackborow's diary entries．
31 Oct，1914
．．．Well，it so happened that one morning I bought a newspaper and read the advertisement about the Antarctic expedition[1]．
[1]it为形式主语，that引导的从句为真正的主语。
An expedition to the South Pole with the great Sir Ernest Shackleton—this is the adventure that I have been dreaming of．And I was ready for it．At the age of 19，I am fit and full of vigour．However，when I applied to join the expedition[2]，Shackleton turned me down① because he thought I was too young and wasn't qualified②[3]．But I was so enthusiastic③ about the idea of going along with them that I secretly went aboard④ his ship，the Endurance，and hid in a small cupboard⑤[4]．Unfortunately，three days after we set off I was discovered．Shackleton did not want to turn back so he offered me a job，but only after he promised me，“If anyone has to be eaten，then you will be the first！” He assigned⑥ me to be a steward⑦，and I now serve meals for twenty-eight men，three times a day．
[2]when引导时间状语从句。
[3]because引导原因状语从句。
[4]本句为so．．．that．．．句型。
How everyone will envy⑧ me when I come back and tell them about the amazing places I have been to！[5]
[5]本句为how引导的感叹句，其中when引导时间状语从句，I have been to为省略了that/which的定语从句，修饰先行词the amazing places。
21 Nov，1915
The journey has not been easy．Endurance became stuck in⑨ the ice as we approached Antarctica．The ice froze around us and we were well and truly stuck! We saw the ship get crushed by the ice．And when the ship sank⑩，our hearts sank with it．
Before we abandoned the ship，Shackleton calmly called us together and told us to rescue our most essential supplies—the small boats，our food，the cook stove ，candles，clothes，and blankets ．This was no time to panic．We were not allowed to take most of our personal belongings ，and Shackleton himself threw away all his gold．But to our surprise，he allowed Hussey to keep his banjo．Hussey often plays it to keep our spirits up．
We are now camped on the ice and we have been managing to survive，but spring is coming，and the ice will soon begin to melt．
20 May，1916
We have been struggling for days，but things on Elephant Island are going from bad to worse．We are now crowded together under one of our boats on the rocky shore of this miserable place．Soon after we arrived，Shackleton left us to find help on South Georgia Island，1，320 kilometres away—the voyage was too dangerous and difficult for all of us to make it in our small boats[6]．If Shackleton fails，will we have any hope of rescue No．No navy in the world ever stops at Elephant Island，and no one else knows that we are here．
[6]句中含有too．．．to．．．句式，意为“太……而不能……”。
I feel low．It's cold and windy．The island has no plants．Sometimes we are able to catch a seal or a penguin to eat．Otherwise，there is no food．I try to think of happier things：decent food，warm and dry clothes，a cosy bedroom，sunny days，and my mother's face．．．However，these happy memories are soon interrupted by a sudden cold rush of air．
I shouted，“Shut the door！”
“Hold on now，Perce．Don't you go turning into another Tom，” came the reply．“We've caught another penguin，so it's penguin soup tonight！”
Bless Frank Wild，the kindest man there is after our leader，Ernest Shackleton．How could I become as selfish and bad-tempered as Thomas Orde-Lees!
Without Frank and Ernest，we'd all be dead by now．Their genuine concern for others，their perseverance ，and their resolve fill me with hope．
Perhaps there is a chance we will return home，after all．
一次成功的失败
珀西·布莱克博罗于1914年加入欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士的“坚忍号”南极探险之旅。沙克尔顿是他那个时代最著名的探险家之一，参加他的探险活动被认为是一种极大的荣誉。以下是一些布莱克博罗的日记。
1914年10月31日
……嗯，碰巧有一天早上我买了一份报纸，看到了关于南极探险的广告。
与伟大的欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士一起去南极探险——这是我一直梦想的探险。我已经准备好了。在19岁的时候，我身体健康，充满活力。然而，当我申请加入探险队时，沙克尔顿拒绝了我，因为他认为我太年轻，没有资格。但我非常想跟他们一起去，于是我偷偷地登上了他的船——“坚忍号”，藏在一个小柜子里。不幸的是，我们出发三天后，我就被发现了。沙克尔顿不想返回去，所以他给了我一份工作，但前提是与我约定：“如果有人必须被吃掉，那么你将是第一个！”他派我去当服务员，我现在一天三次为28个人供应伙食。
当我回来告诉他们我去过的那些神奇的地方时，大家会多么羡慕我啊！
1915年11月21日
这段旅程并不容易。当我们接近南极洲时，“坚忍号”卡在了冰里。冰把我们周围都冻住了，我们彻底被卡住了！我们看到船被冰压碎了。船沉了，我们的心情也跟着低沉起来。
在我们弃船之前，沙克尔顿平静地把我们叫到一起，告诉我们要抢救我们最基本的物资——小船、食物、炉灶、蜡烛、衣服和毯子。现在不是恐慌的时候。我们不被允许拿走大部分个人物品，沙克尔顿自己把他所有的金子都扔掉了。但令我们吃惊的是，他让赫西保留了他的班卓琴。赫西经常用它来振奋我们的精神。
我们现在在冰上扎营，我们一直在设法生存，但是春天就要来了，冰很快就会融化。
1916年5月20日
我们已经挣扎了好几天了，但是象岛上的情况越来越糟。我们现在挤在这个可怜的地方的岩石岸上的一只小船下面。我们到达后不久，沙克尔顿就离开了我们，前往1 320公里外的南乔治亚岛寻求帮助——这次航行太危险、太困难，我们所有人无法都乘坐小船到达那里。如果沙克尔顿失败了，我们还有得救的希望吗？不。世界上没有海军会在象岛停留，也没有人知道我们在这里。
我情绪低落。天气又冷又刮风。岛上没有植物。有时我们能抓到一只海豹或企鹅吃。否则，就没有食物。我试着去想一些更快乐的事情——像样的食物，温暖干燥的衣服，舒适的卧室，晴朗的日子，还有我妈妈的脸……然而，这些快乐的回忆很快就被突然袭来的冷空气打断了。
我叫道：“关上门！”
传来一声回答：“要坚持住啊，珀西。你可不要变成另一个汤姆。”“我们又抓到了一只企鹅，今晚有企鹅汤喝了！”
上帝保佑弗兰克·怀尔德，他是除了我们的头儿欧内斯特·沙克尔顿之外最善良的人。我怎么能变得像托马斯·奥德·利斯那样自私和脾气暴躁呢？
如果没有弗兰克和欧内斯特，我们早就死了。他们对他人的真诚关心，他们的毅力和决心让我充满了希望。
也许我们还是有机会回家的。
