题：摇不止的船　摇不垮的人——“雪龙”号遭遇起航以来最大风浪侧记

China's Antarctic expedition experiences worst storms since takeoff

“阴有雨，风力７至８级，涌高３．０米至３．５米，最高达到４米……”看到气象室发出的次日天气预报，来自中国极地研究中心的年轻研究人员吴荣荣又是一阵手心发凉。

"Cloudy and rainy, a force 7-8 gale, a swell of 3-3.5 meters, with the highest at 4..." Wu Rongrong got a sinking feeling in his heart when reading the weather forecast for next day.

自１９日穿越赤道后，正在执行中国第２６次南极考察任务的“雪龙”号在南太平洋上的所罗门群岛附近遭遇起航以来的最大风浪，连续多日在海上颠簸摇摆。船头撞击起的涌浪不时溅起２０多米高的浪花，像脱缰野马般冲向位于“雪龙”号顶层的驾驶台外窗，霎时间，驾驶员的前方视野一片模糊。

Along with other 250 crew members aboard China's Xuelong (Snow Dragon) vessel, Wu, a young researcher at the China Polar Research Center, was experiencing the worst storm since the vessel embarked on its 26th Antarctic expedition on Oct. 11 from Shanghai.

   每秒１８米左右的大风，让站在甲板上的人不由得抓紧了桅杆，却仍担心一不小心就会被吹落海里。深蓝的海水不时翻卷起白色的涌浪，仿佛一只张开大嘴、露出白色牙齿的巨兽，欲将“雪龙”号吞噬。为了尽量保持船体平衡，“雪龙”号始终与涌浪保持一定夹角航行，但仍难以抵御风浪的袭击，一会儿被推上浪尖，一会儿又被卷向一侧，令人仿佛置身于游乐园中的“海盗船”上，心随着船的起伏而忽上忽下，直至绞作一团。

Xuelong, now navigating in the sea nearing South Pacific Solomon islands, has been sailing through the rough seas since it crossed the equator and entered the southern hemisphere on Monday.

晕船的队员一天比一天增多，症状也一天比一天剧烈。昔日能容下１００多人同时就餐的餐厅，往往只稀稀落落地坐着二三十名晕船反应较小的队员，还有一些坚持“吐了也要吃，吃了继续吐”的“勇士”。吴荣荣就是其中之一。

The dining room on the vessel, which could accommodate more than 100 people, was frequented by just 20-odd crew members in the past few days, as most have been felled by seasickness.

Wu, himself was plagued by seasickness, took pains to manage to eat some food.

“我一直鼓励着自己，可以躺下，但不可以倒下。”这个“８０后”男孩在他的日记里这样写道。

"I have been telling myself that a man can lie down but should never break down. While facing hardships, we must rely on will power to overcome difficulties," Wu wrote in his diary.

Wu is not the only one on the vessel who faced up to high waves and gale winds.

   船摇任它摇。大洋考察队员们仍坚持着每日３至４次的走航观测，收集海洋生物、海洋化学、海洋物理、大气等数据和样品。“越是风浪大的海区，获取的数据越宝贵，如果不是遇到极其恶劣的海况，走航观测一天都不会停止，”大洋考察组组长、中国科学院海洋研究所高级工程师张永山说。

No matter how heavily the ship is wallowing, scientists aboard are still conducting ship-based observation every six hours on the deck.

"The most valuable data is collected on rough seas," said Zhang Yongshan, senior engineer from the Oceanology Institute under the China Academy of Sciences, who is in charge of the ship-based observation.

为了保证船舶在大风大浪中安全航行，“雪龙”号船员们加强了驾驶台值守与动力设备检修。船长王建忠和大副朱兵带着甲板部的船员们昼夜值守在驾驶台上，为“雪龙”号指引航向；轮机长黄嵘则率领手下定时在气温高达四五十摄氏度的机舱巡查，保证“雪龙”号的动力系统正常运行。

To ensure the vessel's safety when sailing through the treacherous waters, captain Wang Jianzhong and his colleagues are on duty day and night on the navigation bridge, while chief engineer Huang Rong regularly inspects the engine room, where temperature is as high as 40 to 50 degrees Celsius.

最为辛苦的是５名随船厨师。尽管也有不同程度的晕船反应，但在大厨包志相的带领下，厨工师傅们仍坚持每天凌晨５点起床，为考察队员们准备一天的饭菜。为了增加晕船队员的食欲，厨师们在每顿正餐中都增加了清淡的素菜、面条和稀饭。细心的包大厨还特意将青椒、香菜等拌在一起，做成“老虎菜”给大家开胃，让队员们“翻江倒海”的肠胃得到不少“抚慰”。

Seasick as they are, the five cooks on-board get up at 5 o'clock in the morning to prepare food for the crew. They make a special spicy salad with green pepper so that seasick crew members can have a better appetite.

领队袁绍宏常用与众不同的方法“鼓励”晕船的队员们：“还有更大的风浪在等着我们。”这个常年穿梭于地球南北两极的 “雪龙”号老船长，１０月２２日上午收到父亲因心肌梗塞去世的消息，却将悲痛藏匿于心底。驾驶台、气象室、机舱、住舱……他关心着船舶航行的每一丝动态，也关心着每一个考察队员的健康与心情。

"More violent waves are in store for us, yet the strong will of our team is unshakable," Yuan Shaohong, team leader of the expedition, told the crew.

On receiving the sad news of his father's death due to a heart attack on Thursday, Yuan restrained his grief and worked as usual, paying close attention to every detail in work and taking care of every member of the team.

   “领队是我们最好的榜样，只要意志不被打败，再大的风浪，都阻挡不了我们走近南极、探秘南极的脚步，”吴荣荣说。

"The team leader is our role model," said Wu. "No amount of sea waves can deter us from reaching and exploring the Antarctica."
