南極洲發現一塊有百年曆史的水果蛋糕

A 100-year-old fruitcake believed to be from the Scott expedition has been found in a nearly "edible" state in the Antarctic.

最近，人們在南極洲發現了一塊幾乎“還能食用”的100年以前的水果蛋糕，據說這是斯科特探險隊留下的。

The cake, wrapped in paper and stored inside a rusted tin and looked and smelt (almost) edible, was found in the Antarctic's oldest building, a hut on Cape Adare.

該蛋糕被包在紙裏，存儲在一個生鏽的金屬罐中，看上去和聞上去都（幾乎）可以吃。它是在南極最古老的建築、阿代爾角的一間小屋裏被人發現的。

It is believed to have been brought to the Antarctic by British explorer Robert Falcon Scott, during his Terra Nova expedition between 1910 and 1913.

人們認爲它是由英國探險家羅伯特·法爾肯·斯科特在1910年至1913年期間的特拉諾瓦探險之旅中帶到南極的。

The brand of the cake, Huntley & Palmers, was known to be a favorite of Scott, who successfully led his team to the South Pole in 1912 from the base hut.

蛋糕是亨帕牌的，衆所周知這個牌子是斯科特的最愛。1912年，斯科特成功帶領其團隊從這間基地小屋出發到達南極點。

It's an ideal high-energy food for Antarctic conditions, and is still a favorite item on modern trips to the Ice.

在南極的環境下，水果蛋糕是理想的高能量食物，現在依然是南極之旅中最受歡迎的食品。

Scott and all four members of his team died on their return journey from the South Pole to the base on the Terra Nova.

不過斯科特和團隊的四名成員全部在從南極點返回特拉諾瓦基地的途中遇難。
