  'Are you going to win?' the man asked.
  'Win?' Scott asked. 'Win what?'
  'Win the race to the South Pole, of course,' the newspaper man said. 'It's a race between you and Amundsen, now. Look at this!' He gave a newspaper to Scott. Scott looked at it.
It said: Fram races Scott to South Pole... 'We're going to win!' said Amundsen.
Scott's face went white. 'Give me that!' he said. He took the newspaper and read it carefully. (1) 'Well, Captain Scott,' he said at last. 'Who's going to win this race? Tell me that!'
  Scott looked at him angrily. 'This is stupid!' he said. 'It's not a race! I came here to learn about the Antarctic—I'm not interested in Amundsen, or in races!' (2)
  Later that day, he talked to his men. He gave them the newspaper, and laughed.
  'It doesn't matter,' he said. ' (3) He has only eight men, and a lot of dogs. I know about dogs—they don't work in the Antarctic. We have sixteen men and the new motor sledges—they are much better. And tomorrow the ponies are coming. We need ponies, motor sledges, and good strong British men—that's all. Forget about Amundsen! He's not important!'
   (4) When Oates first saw the ponies, in New Zealand, he was very unhappy. (5)

The newspaper man watched him, and waited. Then he walked back onto his ship, with the newspaper in his hand. We're in front of Amundsen, and we have more men, and more money. Scott asked Oates to look after the ponies, but he did not let Oates buy them. Most of the ponies were old, and some of them were ill.
“你们会是赢家吗?”那人问。   “赢家?”斯科特问,“什么赢家?”   “当然是赢得前往南极的竞赛。”报社记者说。“现在这个竞赛在你与阿蒙森之间展开。瞧!”他将一份报纸递给斯科特。斯科特看着报纸。报上是这样写的:   弗雷门号正与斯科特争先到达南极     阿蒙森说:“我们将赢得比赛!”   斯科特脸色变得苍白。“给我报纸!”他说。他拿过报纸认真阅读。记者观察着他,期待着。“那么,斯科特队长,”他最终开口了,“谁将赢得这场比赛?请告诉我!”   斯科特愤怒地看着他。“真是愚蠢!”他说,“这不是比赛!我来这儿是为了了解南极。我对阿蒙森对比赛都不感兴趣!”然后,他回到船上,手里拿着那张报纸。   当天晚些时候,他对同行人员讲起这事,将报纸递给他们,并且大笑起来。   “没关系,”他说,“我们现今还在阿蒙森前面。我们不仅人数占优势,而且钱也更多。他呢,除了许多狗外,只有8个人。我熟悉狗性:它们在南极洲干不了活儿。我们有16个人,还配有新式机动雪橇。这些雪橇比狗好使多了。明天,还有小马送来。我们需要小马、机动雪橇以及身强力壮的英国人!这些就够了。忘了那个阿蒙森!他并不重要!”   斯科特分配奥茨喂养小马,但不让他负责买马。在新西兰,奥茨一见到这些小马,便大为光火。这些小马大部分都已老态毕呈,有些还是病马。
