Volcanoes

原文

Haroun Tariff, the Polish scientist, has spent his lifetime studying active volcanoes and deep caves in all parts of the world. In 1948, he went to Lake Kivu in the Congo to observe a new volcano which he later name Kituro. Tariff was able to set up his camp very close to the volcano while it was erupting violently. Though he managed to take a number of brilliant photographs, he could not stay near the volcano for very long. He noticed that a river of liquid rock was coming towards him. It threatened so surround him completely, but Tariff managed to escape just in time. He waited until the volcano became quiet and he was able to return two days later. This time, he managed to climb into the mouth of Kituro so that he could take photographs and measure temperatures. Tazieff has often risked his life in this way. He has been able to tell us more about active volcanoes than any man alive.

哈罗恩.塔捷夫，是一名波兰的科学家，他毕生都在研究获世界各地的火山和深洞。在1948年，他去了刚果的基伍湖，对一座被他后来命名基图罗的新火山进行观测。在火山猛烈喷发的时候，哈罗恩.塔捷夫设法将他的营地设在离火山非常近的地方。尽管他想拍更多美丽的照片，但是也不敢待在火山附近停留很长时间。他发现有一股岩浆正向他流过来。眼看岩浆就快要包围了他，但他还是能及时设法撤离。他一直等待直到火山变得安静了，两天之后才开始返回。这次他想爬进基图罗火山口，以便他能拍到照片和测算熔岩温度。哈罗恩.塔捷夫常常这样冒险。他能告诉我们有关活火山的事情远比世人多得多。
