  It was dark for four months. Outside the wooden house at Framheim, it was often -60°Centigrade. (1)+(2)
  The skis and sledges came from the best shops in Norway, but Bjaaland wasn't happy with them. (3) The skis were better and faster, too.
  All the Norwegians worked hard. (4) —the sledges, skis, tents. Every day they thought about their journey to the Pole, and talked about it. And every day, Amundsen thought about Scott. One day, in midwinter, he talked to his men.
  'Let's start early, before Scott,' Amundsen said. 'Remember, Scott has more men than us, and he has motor sledges, too. Perhaps they can go faster than us.'
  Bjaaland laughed. 'Oh no, they can't go faster than me,' he said. ' (5) '
  'We don't know,' Amundsen said. 'You're the best skier in Norway, but you get tired, and dogs get tired, too. Motor sledges don't get tired. They can go all day and all night. '
  Johansen laughed angrily. 'That's stupid,' he said. 'Perhaps the motor sledges can go all night, but the Englishmen can't. The English can't win, Roald—they don't understand snow, but we do. And they're too slow.'
  'Perhaps,' Amundsen said. 'But I want to win this race. So we're going to start early! Do you understand?'

The dogs lived in warm holes under the snow. The men stayed in the house, and worked in their rooms under the snow. He changed a lot of things on the skis and sledges. Soon the sledges were stronger than before. They looked after their dogs, and worked on their equipment On snow, nothing can go faster than a good man on skis.
4个月中不见天日,一片昏暗。在弗雷门海姆木屋外面,气温低到-60℃。狗儿们生活在温暖的雪洞里。众人则留在木屋里,在白雪覆盖下的房间里,忙着各自的活儿。   尽管滑雪板与雪橇都是从挪威最好的商店内购买的,但是比阿兰德对这些设备并不满意。于是,他在滑雪板与雪橇上换了许多部件。一会儿功夫雪橇变得结实多了。滑雪板变得更好使更快了。   所有这些挪威人干活儿都很卖力。他们照顾狗群,改良设备:雪橇、滑雪板、帐篷。每天,他们都想着远赴南极的旅程,谈论着这次旅程。每天,阿蒙森脑子里都装着斯科特。隆冬里的一天,他对众人说:   “我们早些走,赶在斯科特之前。”阿蒙森说,“别忘了,斯科特的人比我们多,他还有机动雪橇。所以,他们可能比我们快。”   比阿兰德大笑起来。“啊,不,他们不可能比我快,”他说,“在雪地上,没有任何东西能快过优秀的滑雪者。”   “很难料定。”阿蒙森说,“你虽是挪威最优秀的滑雪者,但是也有累乏的时候,狗也一样。而机动雪橇则不会累,它能没日没夜地跑个不停。”   约翰森怒极而笑。“真蠢,”他说,“也许机动雪橇可以整夜不停地跑,但是英国人不能啊!英国人不可能赢,罗阿尔。他们不懂雪性,而我们懂。而且他们行进速度非常缓慢。”   “也许如此,”阿蒙森说,“无论如何我想赢得这次竞赛,所以我们要早些出发!你们理解吗?”
