  Edible’ 100-year-old cake from Scott expedition found in the Antarctic

  南极现百年前水果蛋糕 包装完好闻起来还能吃

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

  南极发现了一块来自100年前斯科特探险队的水果蛋糕,目前几乎处于“可食用”状态。

  The cake, wrapped in paper and stored inside a rusted tin, was found in the Antarctic’s oldest building, a hut on Cape Adare.

  这块蛋糕用纸包裹,藏在锈迹斑斑的锡罐里。在南极最古老的建筑,阿德角的一间小木屋里被发现,。

  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.

  预计这块百年前的水果蛋糕是1910至1913年间英国探险家罗伯特.斯科特率领探险队员乘坐”特拉诺瓦”号赴南极探险时带去的。

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

  这个蛋糕的品牌Huntley & Palmers,据说是斯科特的最爱,他在1912年成功地带领他的团队从大本营来到南极。

  It was found during a two-year conservation project by the Antarctic Heritage Trust, who said it "looked and smelt (almost) edible".

  这是在为期两年的南极遗产信托基金的保护项目中发现的,据称这块蛋糕“看起来和闻起来几乎可以食用”。

  With just two weeks to go on the conservation of the Cape Adare artefacts, finding such a perfectly preserved fruitcake in amongst the last handful of unidentified and severely corroded tins was quite a surprise, Lizzie Meek, the programme manager for artefacts at the Trust, said.

  “在仅有两周时间来保护阿代尔角的活动中,在最后一批严重腐蚀的罐头中发现了这样一个保存完好的水果蛋糕,这让人大吃一惊。”信托基金的项目经理Lizzie Meek说。

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

  “这是南极地区理想的高能量食物,也是现代旅行中最受欢迎的食物。”

  The cake has been returned to the hut, along with other restored artefacts.

  蛋糕连同其他已修复的文物已被送回小屋。

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

  斯科特和他的四名队员在从南极返回到特拉诺瓦基地时牺牲了。
