A Visitor From Chilly Bottom.
一位来自寒冷之地的访客
‘My gosh,’ said the oddly-dressed man, as he looked out of the aeroplane window, ‘what foul weather! I would have been better off staying at home. ’ This was the gentleman’s first trip to England.
“我的天哪，”这位穿着古怪的男士说道，他望向飞机窗外，“这天气太糟糕了！我还不如待在家里呢。”这是这位绅士第一次来英国。
In fact, it was the first time he had stepped outside the snowy continent of Antarctica.
事实上，这是他第一次走出南极洲的雪地大陆。
For hundreds of years, people had lived very happily in the village of Chilly Bottom, three kilometres east (or was it north? ) of the South Pole.
几百年来，人们在奇利·博顿村生活得非常幸福。这个村庄位于南极以东（或者是以北？）三公里处。
Robert Falcon Scott, Bobby to his friends, was the first ever Antarctican to go abroad.
罗伯特·福尔肯·斯科特，他的朋友们都叫他博比，是有史以来第一位走出南极洲的人。
When he arrived at passport control, he was met by a gruff voice from the border control officer. ‘Passport, please. ’ Goodness gracious me, Bobby thought to himself. Where are this man’s manners?
当他到达护照检查处时，迎接他的是边防官员粗哑的声音。“请出示护照。”天哪，博比暗自想道。这个人有没有礼貌？
‘My good sir,’ he replied, ‘I have an important message to pass on to your king. I trust you will grant me safe passage. ’
“尊敬的先生，”他回答道，“我有一个重要的消息要传达给你们的国王。我相信你会让我安全通过的。”
The officer looked over his glasses. ‘You what, mate? Where you from, the 18th century?

I need to see a passport. ’ Fortunately, the traveller had been told that he might run into a few problems at Heathrow, and he was well prepared.

‘Sir, let me explain. I come from the village of Chilly Bottom, in BAT, or British Antarctic Territory. I am, like your good self, I presume, a British citizen. Here are my papers. I have an important message for your king.’
‘先生，让我解释一下。我来自寒冷底部的村庄，在巴特，或英属南极领地。我和你一样，我猜，是英国公民。这是我的证件。我有一个重要的消息要告诉你的国王。
The man slid a pile of old papers under the glass window, and waited patiently while the passport officer thumbed through them. ‘I’m going to need to show these to my boss. Wait here a minute, will ya?
那个人把一叠旧文件从玻璃窗下面推过去，然后耐心地等待着，而护照官员则快速翻阅着这些文件。“我需要把这些文件拿给我的老板看一下。在这里等一会儿，可以吗？”
’ Several minutes passed before a woman emerged from behind a glass door, indicating for Bobby to follow her. ‘Mr… Robert Falcon Scott, correct? This is all rather unusual, I have to say, but your papers do bear the royal seal. ’
几分钟过去了，一个女人从玻璃门后面走了出来，示意博比跟她走。“是……罗伯特·福尔肯·斯科特先生，对吧？太奇怪了，我得说，不过你的文件上确实有皇家印章。”
‘The royal seal? From the South Pole? I had no idea one of my countrymen had come here already! ’
“皇家印章？来自南极？我不知道我的一个同胞已经来到了这里！
‘Err,’ said the woman. ‘Moving on.I’ve run this up to my superiors – it’s gone all the way up to Buckingham Palace – and I am told that the king will be happy to receive you. A car is waiting for you outside.’
''呃，'女人说。我已经把这件事告诉了我的上级--一直传到了白金汉宫--据说国王会很高兴地接见您。外面有辆车在等您。‘’
‘Smashing,’ replied Mr Scott, raising his hat to the woman.
“太棒了，”斯科特先生回答道，向那位女士举起了帽子。
‘This is bonkers,’ muttered the border control officer, shaking his head.
“这太疯狂了，”边防官员摇摇头，喃喃自语道。

Looking at him in the rear view mirror, the driver’s eyes met his, but they quickly turned back to the road and a stony expression covered his face.
司机从后视镜里看着他，两人目光交汇，但司机很快又看向路面，脸上露出冷漠的表情。
‘Don’t know about any prisoners, sir,’ said the driver in a peculiar accent.

‘And is it always such bad weather here? The sky is grey, and it’s pouring with rain. It might be a tad cold where I’m from, but at least we have blue skies! ’ ‘Well yes, you didn’t come to Mallorca, sir.’
“这里的天气总是这么糟吗？天空是灰色的，还下着倾盆大雨。我住的地方可能有点冷，但至少我们有蓝天！’ ‘是的，先生，您没来马略卡岛。
The pair continued in silence, until the car pulled up at the gates of Buckingham Palace.
两人继续沉默着，直到汽车在白金汉宫的大门前停了下来。

在一段楼梯的顶端，站着一位身着黑色正装的男子。斯科特先生爬了上去，礼貌地鞠了一躬。“很高兴见到您，陛下。”“斯科特先生，我是约翰·菲茨威廉-帕特里克爵士。”
I am His Royal Majesty’s butler,’ the man replied, his voice emotionless and cold.
我是国王陛下的管家，”那人回答道，他的声音毫无感情，冷冰冰的。
