高二英語(yǔ)：冒險(xiǎn)家計(jì)劃以氣球?yàn)楣ぞ唢w越大西洋

 　　Up, Up, and Away!

　　上，上，走!

　　An adventurer who became the first person to fly across the English Channel on a cluster (簇) of balloons has launched a house into the sky just like in the hit movie Up—in preparationfor a more ambitious journey.

　　首位坐一簇?zé)釟馇驒M穿英吉利海峽的冒險(xiǎn)者用氣球帶動(dòng)一所房子飛上藍(lán)天，就像熱門(mén)電影《飛屋環(huán)游記》中那樣。而他正在準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)更加雄心勃勃的旅程。

　　Fearless Jonathan Trappe, from North Carolina (美國(guó)北卡羅來(lái)納州), stepped into the cartoonthemed home before soaring above the Leon International Balloon Festival in Mexico more than a week ago.

　　2個(gè)多月前，來(lái)自美國(guó)北卡羅來(lái)納州的喬納森·特拉佩無(wú)所畏懼，在墨西哥萊昂國(guó)際熱氣球節(jié)升空時(shí)，進(jìn)入了他以卡通為主題的房子“試飛”。

　　The 38-year-old was using the event as a warm-up for his planned trans-Atlantic flightscheduled for next summer. He aims to complete the 2,500-mile journey in a seven-foot lifeboat carried by 365 huge helium (氦氣) balloons.

　　38歲的喬納森用熱氣球節(jié)作為他明年夏天飛躍大西洋計(jì)劃的熱身。他的目標(biāo)是乘坐用365個(gè)氦氣球吊起的7英尺長(zhǎng)的救生艇，完成2500英里的旅程。

　　The daredevil (膽大的人) is learning to sail a lifeboat, in case he needs to ditch (在海中迫降) into the ocean during the danger-filled mission.

　　這個(gè)大膽的人正在學(xué)駕駛救生艇，以防他在進(jìn)行危險(xiǎn)任務(wù)時(shí)可能會(huì)需要在海中迫降。

　　He will fly at between 18,000 feet and 25,000 feet, beating his previous world altitude record of 21,600 feet, and must fly uninterrupted a distance ten times longer than his previous world record of 230 miles in order to succeed.

　　他將在一萬(wàn)八千英尺到兩萬(wàn)五千英尺間飛行，以打敗他先前兩萬(wàn)一千六百英尺的世界紀(jì)錄，并且為了取得成功，他必須不間斷的完成比他上次的230英里長(zhǎng)10倍距離的旅程。

　　The adventurer, who holds records for crossing the Alps, flying the most cluster balloons, and the longest distance, has spent his entire career building up to the ambitious mission.

　　這個(gè)冒險(xiǎn)家是穿越阿爾卑斯山和用最多的氣球飛越最長(zhǎng)距離的記錄保持者，他用以前所有的飛行來(lái)為這個(gè)野心勃勃的計(jì)劃做準(zhǔn)備。

　　“I didn’t wake up one day and think: ‘I’m going to fly across the Atlantic,’”he said. “Every attempt before this was geared towards this flight. I’ve been training for a long time.”

　　“我不是某天早上醒來(lái)，然后想著‘我將要飛越大西洋’”，他說(shuō)，“之前的每一次嘗試都是針對(duì)這一次飛行，我已經(jīng)訓(xùn)練很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間了。”
