Into the Amazon

Narrator: In the early morning hours of March 29th, 1914, deep in the Amazon rainforest, former American president Theodore Roosevelt, wracked with fever, summoned his son Kermit to his tent.

旁白：1914年3月29日凌晨，在亚马逊雨林深处，发烧的美国前总统西奥多·罗斯福把儿子克米特叫到帐篷里。

After traveling an uncharted river in Brazil for over a month, Roosevelt was too weak to continue.

在巴西一条未知的河流上航行了一个多月后，罗斯福身体虚弱，无法继续前进。

He told his son to go on without him.

他告诉儿子不要带他继续生活。

Clay Jenkinson, Historian: Roosevelt says, “This is it.

历史学家克莱·詹金森：罗斯福说：“就是这样。

Either we all die, or I die and you all get out.

要么我们都死，要么我死了，你们都滚出去。

Obviously there’s no choice.

You have to leave me here.”

你必须把我留在这里。”

Louis Bayard, Author: He had conquered so much.

路易斯·贝亚德（Louis Bayard），作者：他已经征服了很多。

He had conquered every challenge that came his way.

他克服了遇到的每一个挑战。

But now, for the first time, this force of nature has to bow down to nature’s force.

但现在，这种自然力量第一次不得不屈服于自然力量。

Narrator: Theodore Roosevelt was now one of 21 men lost in one of the last unexplored regions on Earth - facing crippling disease, perilous rapids, and a jungle alive with threats.

特威德·罗斯福，曾孙：美国人认为，在半夜，印第安人可能会进来割断你的喉咙。

Jenkinson: The Amazon jungle eats whatever comes its way.

詹金森：亚马逊丛林吃掉任何遇到的东西。

That whole environment consumes whatever moves through it.

整个环境会消耗所有穿过它的东西。

Narrato r: No one knew where the river might lead, or when their ordeal would end.

旁白：没有人知道这条河会通向哪里，也不知道他们的磨难何时结束。

But one thing was certain - their fate was in the hands of Brazilian explorer, C â ndido Rondon.

但有一点是确定的——他们的命运掌握在巴西探险家坎迪多·龙东 (Cândido Rondon) 的手中。

Roosevelt: Rondon was tremendously experienced.

罗斯福：朗登经验丰富。

Col.

上校

Rondon was essentially the Brazilian equivalent of Lewis and Clark.

隆登本质上相当于巴西的刘易斯和克拉克。

Larry Rohter, Rondon Biographer: Rondon knows he’s got to get Teddy Roosevelt out of the jungle safe and sound.

拉里·罗特（Larry Rohter），朗登传记作者：朗登知道他必须让泰迪·罗斯福安然无恙地离开丛林。

He can’t have the President of the United States dying on him in the middle of the jungle.

Don’t let him die.

别让他死。

Narrator: On January 21st, 1914, in the most remote section of the Amazon rainforest, former President Theodore Roosevelt and his son Kermit set off on a joint American-Brazilian expedition.

旁白：1914年1月21日，在亚马逊雨林最偏远的地区，前总统西奥多·罗斯福和他的儿子克米特开始了美巴联合探险。

Their mission was to chart a mysterious river known only as the “River of Doubt.”

他们的任务是绘制一条被称为“怀疑之河”的神秘河流。

Snaking its way through a nearly impenetrable rainforest, the river was a tantalizing prize for any would-be explorer, and Theodore Roosevelt hoped to put it on the map.

这条河蜿蜒穿过几乎无法穿越的雨林，对任何想要探险的人来说都是一个诱人的奖品，西奥多·罗斯福希望将它放在地图上。

Just 15 months earlier, in November of 1912, Roosevelt had suffered a crushing political defeat after he lost his bid for a third term as president.

就在 15 个月前，即 1912 年 11 月，罗斯福在第三次担任总统的竞选中落败后，遭遇了惨重的政治失败。

Wanting to put the election far behind him, he accepted an invitation from the Brazilian government to explore the least-known region of the Amazon.

为了把选举抛在脑后，他接受了巴西政府的邀请，去探索亚马逊最不为人知的地区。

“No civilized man, no white man,” Roosevelt wrote, “had ever gone down or up this river...”

罗斯福写道：“没有文明人，没有白人，曾在这条河上下游过……”

Kathleen Dalton, Historian : Theodore Roosevelt has a real fascination with explorers - explorers who risk their lives to open up unknown lands, men who risked their lives to advance civilization.

凯瑟琳·道尔顿，历史学家：西奥多·罗斯福对探险家有着真正的迷恋——冒着生命危险开拓未知土地的探险家，冒着生命危险推进文明发展的人们。

Rohter : There is the adventure part of it.

Rohter：其中有冒险的部分。

It was a kind of test: am I tough enough?

这是一种考验：我够坚强吗？

Jenkinson : There was something in Roosevelt’s character that required him to take on challenges, however risky they might seem.

詹金森：罗斯福的性格中有些东西要求他接受挑战，无论这些挑战看起来有多么危险。

So for Roosevelt suddenly to get this, sort of, last little glimpse of the true Age of Exploration was simply too alluring for him to turn down.

因此，对于罗斯福来说，突然看到真正的大航海时代的最后一瞥实在是太诱人了，他无法拒绝。

Narrator: In order to reach the River of Doubt, the expedition would first need to trek nearly 400 miles across the broad savannas and tropical forests of the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso.

旁白：为了到达怀疑河，探险队首先需要跋涉近400英里，穿越巴西马托格罗索州广阔的稀树草原和热带森林。

Guiding Roosevelt and his six-man American team was a 48-year-old Brazilian army officer and part Amazonian Indian, Colonel C â ndido Rondon.

指导罗斯福和他的六人美国团队的是一位 48 岁的巴西军官、亚马逊印第安人血统的坎迪多·隆登上校。

Though he stood just five feet three inches tall, Rondon was a formidable figure.

尽管隆登身高只有五英尺三英寸，但他的身材却令人敬畏。

He’d spent over a decade laying miles of telegraph wire deep into the interior of the rainforest.

他花了十多年的时间在雨林内部深处铺设了数英里的电报线。

And he knew more about the Brazilian Amazon than any man alive.

他对巴西亚马逊的了解比任何活着的人都多。

Todd Diacon, Historian: Rondon built 2,000 miles of telegraph line, 1,000 miles of it through a swamp, and 900 miles of it through the jungle.

Todd Diacon，历史学家：Rondon 修建了 2,000 英里的电报线，其中 1,000 英里穿过沼泽，900 英里穿过丛林。

Roosevelt: Rondon was tremendously experienced.

罗斯福：朗登经验丰富。

Colonel Rondon was essentially the equivalent - the Brazilian equivalent of Lewis and Clark.

隆登上校本质上是相当于巴西人的刘易斯和克拉克。

But just as Colonel Rondon began leading the men to the river, it became clear that the expedition had a problem.

但正当隆登上校开始带领大家前往河边时，探险队显然遇到了问题。

The Americans had arrived with a mountain of baggage - hundreds of crates, stuffed with collecting jars, camera equipment, and comforts from home, like bacon, wine, and chocolates - provisions that were never meant to be hauled overland through the wilderness.

美国人带着堆积如山的行李抵达这里——数百个板条箱，里面塞满了收集罐、摄影设备和培根、葡萄酒和巧克力等居家舒适用品——这些物资从来不打算通过陆路穿越荒野。

Roosevelt and his men had originally planned a simple hunting and collecting trip along the much-traveled Paraguay River.

罗斯福和他的部下原本计划沿着人迹罕至的巴拉圭河进行一次简单的狩猎和采集之旅。

But after arriving in Brazil, Roosevelt changed the itinerary.

但抵达巴西后，罗斯福改变了行程。

He accepted an offer from the Brazilian government and Colonel Rondon to take on the much more dangerous River of Doubt expedition.

他接受了巴西政府和龙登上校的邀请，参加了危险得多的怀疑河探险队。

Jenkinson: When the journey changed at Rio, a lot of the things that they had anticipated, and much of the equipment that they had brought, was no longer particularly useful.

詹金森：当里约的旅程发生变化时，他们预期的很多东西以及他们带来的很多设备都不再特别有用。

It was too bulky.

它太笨重了。

The gear that the Americans brought with them was for a different sort of trip.

美国人带来的装备是为了一次不同类型的旅行。

In order to transport the expedition’s cargo, Colonel Rondon hired over 140 men - a mix of Brazilian soldiers, cowboys, and peasants he called “camaradas,” the Portuguese word for comrades.

为了运输探险队的货物，隆东上校雇佣了 140 多名人员，其中包括巴西士兵、牛仔和农民，他称之为“camaradas”（葡萄牙语中“同志”的意思）。

And he spent days rounding up hundreds of pack animals.

他花了几天时间围捕了数百只驮畜。

Rondon VO: The organization of this baggage train with a cargo of 360 large packages, besides many smaller ones, took five days of incessant toil.

Rondon 画外音：这趟行李列车的组织工作，除了许多小包裹外，还装载了 360 个大包裹，花了五天的时间不断辛劳。

I had managed to bring together 110 mules and 70 oxen.

我设法召集了 110 头骡子和 70 头牛。

The mule procured for Mr. Roosevelt was a strong animal with a smooth walk.

罗斯福先生购买的骡子体格健壮，行走平稳。

To the Brazilians, the most puzzling pieces of gear were the Americans’ 19-foot canoes, which would have to be dragged hundreds of miles before they could even be launched down the river.

对于巴西人来说，最令人费解的装备是美国人的 19 英尺独木舟，它们必须被拖曳数百英里才能顺流而下。

Diacon: The idea that you would bring a canoe - why would you bring a canoe?

Diacon：你会带独木舟的想法 - 为什么你会带独木舟？

And the Brazilians, they just made their own canoes.

而巴西人，他们只是制造自己的独木舟。

They made dugout canoes.

他们制作了独木舟。

You just, you cut down trees and you fashion your own canoes.

你只需砍伐树木并制作自己的独木舟即可。

Rondon was perfectly comfortable and greatly experienced in living off the land.

隆登非常舒适，并且在陆地上生活经验丰富。

So from the Brazilian standpoint, it was like, what are we supposed to do with all of this, all of this equipment?

因此，从巴西的角度来看，我们应该如何处理所有这些、所有这些设备？

These trunks full of material?

这些箱子里装满了材料？

This baggage?

这个行李？

The effect of Roosevelt’s last-minute decision to change plans was immediate.

罗斯福最后一刻改变计划的决定产生了立竿见影的效果。

Exhausted pack animals, now straining under the weight of the American baggage, began to buck their loads along the trail.

精疲力尽的驮畜在美国行李的重压下疲惫不堪，开始沿着小路推着它们的负载。

Roosevelt and his men could only walk past and wonder what essentials were being left behind.

罗斯福和他的手下只能走过去，想知道留下了什么必需品。

Jenkinson: They see one piece of equipment after another being tossed aside on the trail and they’re beginning to think – whoa, what’s going to be left when we get to the headwaters of this river?

詹金森：他们看到一件又一件的设备被扔在路上，他们开始思考——哇，当我们到达这条河的源头时，还会剩下什么？

But what Roosevelt wanted was to test himself against nature and to be on the edge of danger and to really rough it.

但罗斯福想要的是在自然面前考验自己，在危险的边缘真正地度过难关。

With each passing mile, the expedition was moving farther from civilization and closer to the edge of the frontier, into a land that would test the limits of their endurance and a river that would carry them deep into the unknown.

每前进一英里，探险队就离文明越来越远，越来越接近边境的边缘，进入一片考验他们耐力极限的土地和一条将带他们深入未知的河流。

Narrator : Theodore Roosevelt came of age in an era of great exploration, when adventure-seeking men risked their lives competing for the Earth’s rarest geographical prizes.

旁白：西奥多·罗斯福成长于一个伟大探索的时代，当时寻求冒险的人们冒着生命危险争夺地球上最稀有的地理奖品。

In 1909, Americans Robert Peary and Matthew Henson won the race to the North Pole.

1909 年，美国人罗伯特·皮尔里 (Robert Peary) 和马修·汉森 (Matthew Henson) 赢得了前往北极的竞赛。

Two years later, in 1911, Roald Amundsen planted Norway’s flag on the South Pole.

两年后，即 1911 年，罗尔德·阿蒙森 (Roald Amundsen) 在南极点插上了挪威国旗。

And in 1914, the year Roosevelt left to find the River of Doubt, Sir Ernest Shackleton nearly died trying to cross the Antarctic.

1914 年，即罗斯福出发去寻找怀疑河的那一年，欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士在穿越南极洲的过程中差点丧命。

But the Amazon rainforest, which spread like an enormous green drape across a third of South America, had largely remained a mystery to western explorers.

但亚马逊雨林就像一块巨大的绿色帷幕，遍布南美洲三分之一的地区，对西方探险家来说，很大程度上仍然是个谜。

Sydney Possuelo, Explorer and Former President of FUNAI: The Amazon of 1913, was a very unknown region - the great wilderness, the empire of remoteness, of distance.

Sydney Possuelo，探险家兼 FUNAI 前总裁：1913 年的亚马逊，是一个非常未知的地区 - 广阔的荒野，遥远的帝国。

So it was a region full of mysteries.

所以说，这是一个充满神秘色彩的地区。

All this would feed people’s imaginations.

这一切都会丰富人们的想象力。

It’s as if you were in the middle of the sea, a sea filled with monsters, dragons and monstrous beasts.

仿佛置身于大海之中，充满了妖龙妖兽。

I mean, these are the myths of the Amazon.

我的意思是，这些都是亚马逊的神话。

Rohter: The Amazon always has this, kind of, aura of mystery about it.

罗特：亚马逊总是有一种神秘的光环。

You know, who lived there?

你知道谁住在那里吗？

What were they like?

他们是什么样的人？

Narrator: Since its earliest European explorers of the 16th century, the Amazon had been the stage for mythmaking.

旁白：自 16 世纪最早的欧洲探险家以来，亚马逊一直是神话的舞台。

One of the most enduring involved an ancient civilization known as El Dorado, with wealth so great, it was said the king would coat himself in gold.

其中最持久的一个涉及被称为黄金国的古代文明，它拥有如此巨大的财富，据说国王会给自己披上黄金。

Rohter : For centuries you have people convinced that there’s some hidden city and it’s always around the next bend.

罗特：几个世纪以来，人们一直相信有一些隐藏的城市，而且它总是在下一个拐角处。

And nobody can ever find it.

没有人能找到它。

Narrator: The search for El Dorado claimed the lives of whole expeditions - wiped out by disease, starvation, and Indian attack.

旁白：寻找黄金国的过程夺走了整个探险队的生命——疾病、饥饿和印第安人的袭击使他们全军覆没。

Those who survived emerged with harrowing tales of a vast wilderness teeming with exotic species - like jaguars, man-eating piranhas, and giant caiman.

那些幸存者讲述了关于广阔荒野的悲惨故事，荒野中充满了美洲虎、食人鱼和巨型凯门鳄等外来物种。

Cannibals were said to roam the interior in search of human prey, while Amazonian women warriors stalked the forest and river banks.

据说食人者在内陆地区漫游寻找人类猎物，而亚马逊女战士则在森林和河岸上潜行。

Rohter: These myths carried over into the 20th century.

Rohter：这些神话一直延续到 20 世纪。

Possuelo: I think that some regions of the world are favorable for myths, for creating heroes.

Possuelo：我认为世界上的某些地区有利于神话，有利于创造英雄。

To get there took great effort, fortitude, and a large amount of personal strength.

要到达那里需要付出巨大的努力、毅力和大量的个人力量。

This was the Amazon when Roosevelt came here.

罗斯福来到这里时，这里就是亚马逊。

Narrator: By January 26th, the expedition was marking slow progress having covered less than 75 miles in a week.

旁白：到 1 月 26 日，探险队一周的行程还不到 75 英里，进展缓慢。

Colonel Rondon estimated there was still over a month of travel ahead, just to reach the headwaters of the river.

隆登上校估计，距离到达河流的源头还有一个多月的时间。

To make better time, Rondon made the decision to cut the midday meal, which meant they would sometimes ride for 12 hours without eating.

为了节省时间，Rondon 决定减少午餐，这意味着他们有时会连续 12 个小时不吃东西骑行。

During the day-long marches the expedition was subjected to the 100 degree heat and insufferable tropical humidity that left all the men drenched in sweat and some of the Americans on edge.

在一整天的行军中，探险队要承受 100 度的高温和令人难以忍受的热带湿度，所有的人都大汗淋漓，一些美国人也感到紧张不安。

Father John Zahm, an elderly Catholic priest and old friend of Roosevelt’s, complained incessantly about the conditions on the mule train.

约翰·扎姆神父是一位年长的天主教牧师，也是罗斯福的老朋友，他不断地抱怨骡车上的条件。

An amateur explorer himself, Zahm had been in charge of organizing Roosevelt’s original Brazilian itinerary, which he promised the president would be “as easy as a promenade down Fifth Avenue.” Now, the priest found himself on a very different trip, struggling to keep pace in an unforgiving rainforest.

扎姆本人也是一名业余探险家，他负责组织罗斯福最初的巴西行程，他向总统保证，行程将“像沿着第五大道漫步一样轻松”。现在，牧师发现自己踏上了一次截然不同的旅程，在无情的雨林中努力跟上步伐。

Even for a seasoned explorer, like the American naturalist George Cherrie, the expedition appeared to be off to an unsteady start.

即使对于像美国博物学家乔治·切里这样经验丰富的探险家来说，这次探险似乎也有一个不稳定的开始。

Cherrie VO: The organization and management of our outfit is not the best.

Cherrie VO：我们队伍的组织和管理不是最好的。

We would plan to make an early start but we usually ride through the hottest part of the day.

我们计划早点出发，但我们通常会在一天中最热的时候骑行。

It is hard on us and even harder for our animals.

这对我们来说很难，对我们的动物来说更难。

Roosevelt: When TR went on these kinds of expeditions - when he could, he took naturalists with him.

罗斯福：当TR进行此类探险时——只要有可能，他都会带着自然学家一起去。

George Cherrie had worked as a collector for some of the great American museums.

乔治·切里曾担任美国一些著名博物馆的收藏家。

He was kind of the preeminent collector of the time.

他是当时杰出的收藏家。

Fascinating fellow - kind of an Indiana Jones-type.

迷人的家伙——有点像印第安纳·琼斯类型。

Narrator: At night, when the temperatures dropped and the mood of the expedition lightened, the men bonded over stories of their past exploits.

旁白：晚上，气温下降，探险队的气氛轻松起来，人们通过讲述过去的事迹而建立了联系。

George Cherrie shared wild tales of running guns for Venezuelan rebels while on collecting trips through Latin America.

乔治·切里（George Cherrie）在拉丁美洲的收集之旅中分享了为委内瑞拉叛乱分子跑枪的疯狂故事。

The American provisioner Anthony Fiala, who had once been marooned for a year in the Arctic, told of hunting polar bear to survive.

美国粮食供应商安东尼·菲亚拉曾在北极被困一年，他讲述了捕猎北极熊以求生存的经历。

And Colonel Rondon shared grim memories of surviving the very wilderness that surrounded them on nothing more than fruit and honey stolen from beehives.

隆登上校分享了他们在周围的荒野中仅靠从蜂箱偷来的水果和蜂蜜生存的悲惨回忆。

But nobody could top Theodore Roosevelt’s stories.

但没有人能超越西奥多·罗斯福的故事。

Dalton: TR - he’s a great raconteur, and very funny and charming.

道尔顿：TR——他是一个非常健谈的人，而且非常有趣和迷人。

He’s full of these interesting stories - his Africa story, his wild west stories.

他充满了这些有趣的故事——他的非洲故事，他的狂野西部故事。

And every story - always he’s the hero, he’s brave, he faces hardships, and he conquers.

每个故事——他总是英雄，他勇敢，他面对困难，他征服。

Narrator: By 1914, 55-year-old Theodore Roosevelt was a living icon of outdoor adventure and manliness.

旁白：到 1914 年，55 岁的西奥多·罗斯福已成为户外探险和男子气概的活生生的象征。

He’d written 35 books, many of them colorful yarns about his experiences in war and hunting big game across the globe.

When he left the presidency in 1909, Roosevelt wrote a best- selling book about his year-long safari in Africa.

He’d hoped to do the same in Brazil, signing a deal with Scribner’s Magazine to tell the story of his journey.

他希望在巴西也能做同样的事情，与《斯克里布纳杂志》签署协议来讲述他的旅程故事。

But this carefully crafted romantic image of the indomitable adventurer was born of a childhood filled with physical challenges and personal tragedy.

但这个精心打造的不屈不挠的冒险家的浪漫形象却诞生于充满身体挑战和个人悲剧的童年。

As a young boy, Theodore Roosevelt was stricken with asthma - an illness that gave him little control over his own world and left him too weak to take part in sports and the outdoor adventures of youth.

西奥多·罗斯福还是个小男孩时就患有哮喘，这种疾病使他无法控制自己的世界，而且身体太虚弱，无法参加青年时期的体育运动和户外探险。

詹金森：当他大约12岁时，他的父亲说：“你的思想很坚强，但你的身体很虚弱。

Son, you must make your body.” And really by sheer force of will, Theodore Roosevelt did it.

儿子，你必须塑造你的身体。”西奥多·罗斯福确实凭借纯粹的意志力做到了这一点。

Narrator: As Roosevelt grew older, nature became his proving ground, where he rebuilt his body through what he called “the strenuous life”.

旁白：随着罗斯福年龄的增长，大自然成了他的试验场，他通过他所谓的“艰苦生活”重塑了自己的身体。

In the outdoors he could test the limits of his endurance through epic hikes, camping trips, horseback riding, swimming, and hunting.

在户外，他可以通过史诗般的徒步旅行、露营旅行、骑马、游泳和狩猎来测试自己的耐力极限。

Dalton: It’s clear that this childhood of asthma haunted him - that invalid self is haunting him, and he’s going to fight it with every means possible.

道尔顿：很明显，童年时期的哮喘困扰着他——那个无效的自我困扰着他，他将尽一切可能与它作斗争。

It’s hunting, shooting, climbing, running, rowing, boxing.

它包括狩猎、射击、攀岩、跑步、划船、拳击。

This is a guy who likes physical danger and feels more alive around physical danger.

这是一个喜欢身体危险的人，并且在身体危险面前感觉更有活力。

And just down the hall, his beloved mother Martha was slowly succumbing to typhoid.

His idea is that if you just keep moving that sadness can’t catch you.

他的想法是，如果你继续前进，悲伤就不会抓住你。

旁白：到了二月初，探险队已经进入了旅程的第二周，已经深入荒野近100英里，但尽管时间有所好转，他们距离怀疑河的源头仍然有近200英里。

旁白：25岁的克米特·罗斯福，西奥多·罗斯福和伊迪丝·罗斯福的次子，为了陪伴父亲进入亚马逊，搁置了自己的生命。

He was in love with a young socialite named Belle Willard, who had just recently accepted his marriage proposal.

他爱上了一位名叫贝拉·威拉德的年轻社交名流，贝拉·威拉德最近刚刚接受了他的求婚。

Bayard: Kermit is longing for this woman who has just committed to being his wife.

贝亚德：科米特渴望这个刚刚承诺成为他妻子的女人。

He wants more than anything to be by her side, and the deeper they go into this jungle, the further it takes him away from her.

他最想留在她身边，而他们越深入这片丛林，他离她就越远。

Dalton : Kermit did not want to accompany his father.

道尔顿：克米特不想陪伴他的父亲。

He was trying build his own life.

他正在努力建立自己的生活。

He was trying to not be just the great man’s son.

他试图不只是成为伟人的儿子。

Bayard: Kermit was very different from the other Roosevelt children.

贝亚德：克米特与罗斯福的其他孩子非常不同。

He was quiet.

他很安静。

He was sensitive.

他很敏感。

He was moody.

他情绪低落。

He would retreat to himself for long periods of time.

他会在很长一段时间内退缩到自己身边。

His mother used to say that he was the child with the white head and the black heart.

他妈妈常说他是白头黑心的孩子。

The white head because he was the blondest of the Roosevelt children, but the black heart because from earliest childhood was beset with melancholia.

白色的头是因为他是罗斯福家孩子中最金发的，但黑色的心是因为他从小就被忧郁症所困扰。

So, he is the one who has to travel the furthest distance to be like his father.

所以，他是那个要走最远距离才能像他父亲那样的人。

Jenkinson : Roosevelt required, even forced his children, to get over whatever shyness, and timidity, and fears that they might have.

詹金森：罗斯福要求，甚至强迫他的孩子们克服他们可能有的害羞、胆怯和恐惧。

He believed that it was part of character building that you face your fears and you work through them.

他相信直面恐惧并克服它们是品格塑造的一部分。

Narrator : In 1909, Kermit joined his father on safari in Africa, where he spent an entire year hunting big game alongside the ex-president.

旁白：1909 年，克米特和父亲一起去非洲狩猎，他花了整整一年的时间与前总统一起狩猎大型动物。

Jenkinson: Safari in Africa was the first time when they really got to be alone for an extended period, and what Roosevelt noticed was, first of all, that his son was good to be around.

詹金森：非洲狩猎是他们第一次真正长时间独处，罗斯福首先注意到的是，他的儿子很高兴和他在一起。

He liked him.

他喜欢他。

He was a good companion.

他是一个好伙伴。

Secondly, he noticed that Kermit had overcome whatever timidities he had had as a child.

其次，他注意到克米特已经克服了他小时候的胆怯。

Narrator: The bond the two men forged in Africa convinced Edith that her son Kermit could look after his father in the Amazon.

旁白：这两个人在非洲建立的联系使伊迪丝相信她的儿子克米特可以在亚马逊照顾他的父亲。

Edith was worried that ever since her husband had lost his bid to regain the presidency, he had been in a reckless frame of mind.

伊迪丝担心，自从丈夫重新竞选总统失败后，他就一直处于鲁莽的心态。

Dalton: Theodore Roosevelt was in a deeper despair than Edith had ever seen him be in before.

道尔顿：西奥多·罗斯福的绝望程度是伊迪丝从未见过的。

Edith needs somebody who knows the kind of danger he will invite.

伊迪丝需要一个知道他会带来什么样危险的人。

He’s in a dangerous mood.

他的心情很危险。

She wants Kermit to go with him.

她希望克米特和他一起去。

Okay, he can have a little heroism, but she wants him back.

好吧，他可以有一点英雄主义，但她希望他回来。

She wants him to survive this trip.

她希望他能在这次旅行中幸存下来。

Edith knows Kermit adores his father, and could pull him out of bad situations.

伊迪丝知道克米特崇拜他的父亲，并且可以把他从困境中拉出来。

Kermit VO: Dear Belle, We keep crawling along, gradually cutting down the distance to the river, but oh so very slowly; I have hated the trip and feel miserable being so far from you.

克米特画外音：亲爱的贝儿，我们继续爬行，逐渐缩短到河边的距离，但是哦，速度非常慢；我讨厌这次旅行，远离你感到痛苦。

If I hadn't gone, we'd have both always had it in the back of our minds, that it was my only chance to have helped father out, and mother too,...

如果我没有走，我们都会一直在心里想着，这是我帮助父亲摆脱困境的唯一机会，也是帮助母亲……

Mother is dreadfully worried...

妈妈非常担心……

There was nothing for me to do but to go...

我没有什么可做的，只能走……

Kermit.

克米特。

Narrator: From the beginning of their journey, the expedition had been following a path through the wilderness carved by C â ndido Rondon more than a decade earlier.

旁白：从他们的旅程开始，探险队就沿着坎迪多·龙东十多年前开辟的荒野之路前进。

In 1900, Colonel Rondon had been commissioned by the Brazilian government to build a telegraph line into the interior of the rainforest.

1900 年，龙东上校受巴西政府委托修建一条通往雨林内部的电报线。

But after a month of travel, the men were now crossing into a land where only Rondon and a handful of outsiders had ever traveled.

但经过一个月的旅行，这些人现在正穿越到一片只有朗登和少数外来者曾去过的地方。

Rohter : The Nhambiquara.

罗特：Nhambiquara。

They didn’t even really have houses.

他们甚至没有真正的房子。

They slept on the ground.

他们睡在地上。

They used arrows.

他们使用箭头。

They used slingshots.

他们使用弹弓。

I mean, it was a shock to the Brazilians themselves.

我的意思是，这对巴西人自己来说是一个震惊。

So to the Americans, it would've been ever more so.

所以对于美国人来说，情况更是如此。

Jenkinson: There was almost an Adam and Eve-like innocence about them.

詹金森：他们身上几乎有亚当和夏娃般的纯真。

It was an entirely naked tribe.

这是一个完全赤裸的部落。

Roosevelt said they were naked but they never exchanged lascivious looks.

罗斯福说他们赤身裸体，但他们从未交换过淫荡的眼神。

There was no sense of shame.

没有任何羞耻感。

They were fascinated by him, especially when he was writing, and they would move in towards Roosevelt.

他们对他着迷，尤其是当他写作时，他们会向罗斯福靠拢。

Writing must have seemed like a form of magic to them, and Roosevelt said that he actually had to sort of gently push them away from him.

对他们来说，写作一定像是一种魔法，罗斯福说，他实际上必须轻轻地将他们从他身边推开。

Narrator: Rondon had established an easy rapport with the Nhambiquara.

旁白：朗登与纳比夸拉人建立了轻松融洽的关系。

He played games with their children and conducted business with the elders, trading axe heads and jewelry for manioc flour and other supplies.

他与孩子们一起玩游戏，与长辈们做生意，用斧头和珠宝换取木薯粉和其他用品。

But the good will between Rondon and the tribe had not come easily.

但隆登和部落之间的善意来之不易。

Like most Amazonian Indians, the Nhambiquara had only encountered white men who were looking to convert them to Christianity, or exploit them as slave labor for the rubber industry.

和大多数亚马逊印第安人一样，纳比夸拉人只遇到过那些希望让他们皈依基督教，或者利用他们作为橡胶工业的奴隶劳工的白人。

Years earlier, when Rondon first entered their land, the tribe had nearly killed him.

几年前，当隆登第一次进入他们的土地时，部落几乎杀死了他。

Diacon: He heard a fluttering sound, then an arrow stuck in the strap of his cartridge belt.

Diacon：他听到一阵颤动的声音，然后一支箭插在了他的弹带上。

His men were all gathered, planning a counter-attack, and he says, “No, we’re not going to do this.

他的手下都聚集在一起，计划反击，他说：“不，我们不会这样做。

This is not our approach.”

这不是我们的做法。”

Narrator: Rather than counter-attack, Rondon created his own method to engage with Indian tribes.

旁白：隆登没有反击，而是创造了自己的方法来与印第安部落打交道。

Joseph Ornig, Author : Colonel Rondon had an old Victrola and he had some Caruso records, and in order to tempt these Indians to come into his camp, he’d play this music.

约瑟夫·奥尼格（Joseph Ornig），作者：朗登上校有一把旧留声机，还有一些卡鲁索唱片，为了吸引这些印第安人进入他的营地，他会播放这种音乐。

They couldn’t resist it.

他们无法抗拒。

Mércio Gomes, Anthropologist and Former President of FUNAI : Rondon thought the Indians should be treated with kindness.

Mércio Gomes，人类学家、FUNAI 前主席：Rondon 认为印第安人应该受到善意对待。

They have been violent because people have been violent to them.

他们之所以暴力，是因为人们对他们暴力。

If you are not violent to them, they will be kind to you.

如果你对他们不暴力，他们就会对你友善。

Narrator: During his telegraph missions, Rondon had made first contact with dozens of previously unknown tribes.

旁白：在执行电报任务期间，朗登首次接触到了数十个以前不为人知的部落。

Yet throughout these dangerous encounters, his pacifism never wavered.

然而，在这些危险的遭遇中，他的和平主义从未动摇过。

Rohter: Rondon’s policy is die if necessary.

罗特：隆登的政策是如果有必要就死。

Die if you must, but never kill.

如果必须的话就去死，但永远不要杀人。

And he demanded that of his expedition members, he demanded it of himself.

他对他的探险队成员提出了这样的要求，他对自己也提出了这样的要求。

Possuelo: “Die, if need be, but never kill.” And this is a phrase – it's not a catch phrase that you say in your office, sitting down, smoking a cigar, drinking a whiskey and creating rhetorical sentences.

波苏埃洛：“如果需要的话，可以去死，但永远不要杀人。”这是一个短语——它不是你在办公室里坐下来、抽雪茄、喝威士忌、创造修辞句时所说的口号。

It is not.

它不是。

It is in the heat of the battle, it's when the arrow comes to kill, he takes it off and...

在战斗最激烈的时候，当箭射来杀戮时，他把它拔下来，然后……

“Die, if need be, but never kill.”

“如果需要的话，可以去死，但永远不要杀人。”

Narrator: C â ndido Rondon’s approach to Indians grew out of his earliest upbringing.

旁白：坎迪多·隆登 (Cândido Rondon) 对印第安人的态度源于他最早的成长经历。

Part Bororo Indian, he was born and raised in the Amazon wilderness of Mato Grosso.

他有博罗罗印第安人血统，在马托格罗索州的亚马逊荒野出生和长大。

As a teenager, Rondon was sent to Rio de Janeiro, to Brazil’s most elite military school, where he was introduced to positivism, the philosophy that had been the guiding light of the newly formed Brazilian Republic.

青少年时期，隆东被送到巴西最精英的里约热内卢军事学校，在那里他接触到了实证主义，这一哲学曾是新成立的巴西共和国的指路明灯。

Its credo “Order and Progress” was emblazoned on the nation’s flag.

它的信条“秩序与进步”被印在国旗上。

Brazilian positivists, like Rondon, believed that social progress for Indians could only be achieved through peaceful relations and the slow introduction of modern civilization.

隆登等巴西实证主义者认为，印度人的社会进步只能通过和平关系和缓慢引入现代文明来实现。

Possuelo: The Positivism that Rondon embraces, which is a humanistic philosophy of the brotherhood of all peoples.

Possuelo：隆东所信奉的实证主义，是一种各国人民兄弟情谊的人文主义哲学。

And Rondon had this humanistic vision that all men are equal, all men are brothers, and all have the right to experience the benefits of civilization.

隆登有这样的人文愿景：人人平等，人人都是兄弟，人人都有权利体验文明的好处。

Narrator: Although Roosevelt marveled at the Brazilian officer’s closeness with the Nhambiquara, and treatment of them almost as equals, it was in stark contrast with the American policy of Indian Resettlement - and Roosevelt’s own belief about the place of native people in modern society.

旁白：尽管罗斯福对这位巴西军官与南比夸拉人的亲密关系以及对他们几乎平等的待遇感到惊讶，但这与美国的印第安人重新安置政策以及罗斯福本人对土著人民在现代社会中地位的信念形成鲜明对比。

Rondon VO: The general impression of Mr. Roosevelt of the Nhambiquara is that they are of a much milder and gentler nature and more sociable than the great number of others.

Rondon 画外音：罗斯福先生对 Nhambiquara 人的总体印象是，他们比其他许多人性格温和得多，也更善于交际。

But Mr. Roosevelt said that he considers Indians wards of the Nation because they do not retain the grade of civilization which would permit them to intermingle with the rest of the population.

但罗斯福先生说，他认为印第安人是国家的监护人，因为他们没有保持允许他们与其他人口混合的文明程度。

Jenkinson: Roosevelt didn’t dislike Indians but he didn’t think that they should be indulged in their tribal life ways.

詹金森：罗斯福并不讨厌印第安人，但他认为他们不应该沉迷于部落生活方式。

Theodore Roosevelt felt really strongly that it was the mission of the Anglo-Saxon people to civilize the world.

西奥多·罗斯福强烈地感受到盎格鲁撒克逊人民的使命是使世界变得文明。

He is a creature of his own era.

他是他那个时代的产物。

He watches Rondon’s interaction with the native people and sees that maybe that’s not the American way but it works for Rondon.

他观察朗登与当地人的互动，发现这也许不是美国方式，但对朗登来说很有效。

Narrator: The peaceful relationship between the Nhambiquara and Colonel Rondon allowed the expedition to make its way through their land without incident.

旁白：纳比夸拉人和隆登上校之间的和平关系使得探险队能够平安无事地穿过他们的土地。

But, from here forward, Roosevelt and the team were entering unexplored land.

但是，从现在开始，罗斯福和他的团队正在进入未开发的土地。

Not even Rondon knew what to expect of the Indians they might encounter next.

就连隆登也不知道他们接下来可能会遇到的印第安人会发生什么。

As they made their way past a graveyard said to hold the bodies of Brazilian telegraph workers killed by Nhambiquara, Roosevelt and his men could only wonder what lay ahead.

当他们经过一个墓地时，据说埋葬着被南比夸拉杀害的巴西电报工人的尸体，罗斯福和他的部下只能想知道接下来会发生什么。

Narrator: After over a month of hiking through the Amazon, the expedition had traveled nearly 350 miles.

旁白：经过一个多月的亚马逊徒步旅行，探险队已经行驶了近 350 英里。

With each passing day the men drove themselves farther from civilization.

日子一天天过去，人们离文明越来越远。

During the grueling trek almost all of their pack animals had died from exhaustion, and the Americans were forced to shed many of the provisions they had brought with them.

在艰苦的长途跋涉中，几乎所有的驮畜都因精疲力竭而死亡，美国人被迫扔掉了他们带来的许多食物。

Even their canoes - which Roosevelt had hoped would be useful on the river - had to be scuttled.

就连他们的独木舟——罗斯福希望它们能在河上派上用场——也不得不被凿沉。

But on February 25th, 1914, the men came to a clearing in the jungle - and, for the first time, the Americans laid their eyes on the waters of the River of Doubt.

但 1914 年 2 月 25 日，这些人来到了丛林中的一块空地，美国人第一次将目光投向了怀疑河的水域。

From a makeshift wooden bridge built by Rondon’s telegraph commission, the team surveyed the surroundings.

团队在隆登电报委员会建造的一座临时木桥上对周围环境进行了勘察。

The river appeared to be little more than a narrow mountain stream.

这条河看起来只不过是一条狭窄的山间溪流。

The ink black water flowed gently northward, disappearing into a tunnel of thick jungle.

墨黑的水流轻轻地向北流去，消失在茂密丛林的隧道里。

Colonel Rondon suspected that the River of Doubt was most likely a major tributary of the Madeira.

隆登上校怀疑怀疑河很可能是马德拉河的一条主要支流。

If his theory proved correct, the men would paddle some 400 miles north, where they could resupply and make their way to safety in the city of Manaos.

如果他的理论被证明是正确的，这些人将划船向北行驶约 400 英里，在那里他们可以补给并安全抵达马瑙斯市。

As they prepared to disembark, it became clear that the rations the expedition was forced to shed were far more necessary than anyone had imagined.

当他们准备下船时，很明显，探险队被迫丢弃的口粮比任何人想象的都更加必要。

Food supplies were desperately low, and Theodore Roosevelt realized that getting down the river quickly had become a matter of life or death.

粮食供应严重不足，西奥多·罗斯福意识到，迅速顺流而下已成为生死攸关的问题。

Ornig : Right from the start, Roosevelt was concerned about - will we get through, because they had discovered the bread and sugar was missing, that had been lost when they dumped cargo in the overland trip.

奥尼格：从一开始，罗斯福就担心我们能否顺利通过，因为他们发现面包和糖丢失了，这些面包和糖是他们在陆路倾倒货物时丢失的。

But when you look at the canoes that were available, I think he must’ve felt internally dismay.

但当你看到可用的独木舟时，我想他内心一定感到沮丧。

You couldn’t help but be dismayed to look at “this is what we’ve got to go down this river.”

当你看到“这就是我们必须沿着这条河走下去”时，你会情不自禁地感到沮丧。

Narrator: Rondon procured seven hand-hewn dugouts from local Indians.

旁白：朗登从当地印第安人那里购买了七个手工凿成的防空洞。

In a boat fully laden with gear, Roosevelt sat just inches above the water.

罗斯福坐在一艘装满装备的船上，离水面只有几英寸。

There was little chance that the dugouts, which weighed over twenty-five hundred pounds apiece, would be able to handle rapids as well as the North American canoes the team had left behind.

这些防空洞每艘重达两千五百磅，几乎不可能像团队留下的北美独木舟那样应对急流。

Jenkinson: I mean, if you had said to Roosevelt in New York this journey will depend upon somehow finding boats deep into the interior, and they will have been made by native people, he would not have regarded that as acceptable.

詹金森：我的意思是，如果你对纽约的罗斯福说，这次旅程将取决于以某种方式找到深入内陆的船只，而且它们将是由当地人制造的，他不会认为这是可以接受的。

And the boats are so heavily laden that they ride so low in the water that they have to take bamboo trees and lash them to the sides of the canoes to give them more buoyancy.

由于船上载货量过大，因此在水中行驶的位置很低，因此必须将竹子绑在独木舟的两侧，以增加浮力。

Narrator: With dwindling provisions and unreliable canoes, it became clear that not everyone would be able to continue on the expedition.

旁白：随着供给的减少和独木舟的不可靠，很明显并不是每个人都能继续探险。

It was decided that the American provisioner Anthony Fiala would instead be sent down a previously mapped river.

决定将美国粮食供应商安东尼·菲亚拉（Anthony Fiala）送入先前绘制的河流中。

And Roosevelt’s friend, Father Zahm, the 63-year-old Catholic Priest, whose age and attitude had been a source of concern from the beginning of the journey, was also dismissed.

罗斯福的朋友、63岁的天主教牧师扎姆神父也被解雇了，他的年龄和态度从旅程一开始就一直令人担忧。

Jenkinson: The precipitating moment is when Zahm says he expects to be carried by natives in a sedan chair and says, “They love this sort of thing.

詹金森：当扎姆说他希望被当地人抬上轿子并说：“他们喜欢这种事情时，突然发生的时刻。

Natives love to do this for Catholic priests.

当地人喜欢为天主教牧师这样做。

They’ll like it.” And this offends Rondon, but it just seems ludicrous to Theodore Roosevelt, and he realizes Zahm must go.

他们会喜欢的。”这冒犯了隆登，但对西奥多·罗斯福来说这似乎很荒谬，他意识到扎姆必须下台。

And he takes him aside, and he says, “This journey as it now proceeds is done with respect to you.”

他把他拉到一边，说道：“现在这趟旅程是为了你而完成的。”

Narrator: From here, the team would consist only of Theodore and Kermit Roosevelt, George Cherrie, Colonel Rondon and his Lieutenant Lyra, and a Brazilian medical doctor.

旁白：从这里开始，团队将仅由西奥多·罗斯福和克米特·罗斯福、乔治·切里、隆登上校和他的莱拉中尉以及一名巴西医生组成。

16 off the most experienced camaradas would travel along with them.

16名最有经验的同伴将与他们同行。

Some of the men wrote final letters to loved ones, to be carried out by the departing team members.

一些人给亲人写了最后的信，由即将离开的团队成员转递。

From here forward, they could only speculate as to when they would return to civilization.

从现在开始，他们只能猜测何时才能回归文明。

Kermit VO: Dear Belle, Here we are ready to start down the river of doubt.

Kermit 画外音：亲爱的 Belle，我们已经准备好开始顺流而下。

No one has any idea as to where it goes.

没有人知道它去了哪里。

It’s almost impossible even to guess.

甚至连猜测都几乎不可能。

I think we may be in Manaus in a month and a half; two months is really the most probable, tho’ three or four is possible.

我想一个半月后我们可能会到达马瑙斯；两个月确实是最有可能的，不过三四个月也有可能。

All I ask of the river is that it may be short, and easy to travel, and as quickly as possible.

我对这条河的唯一要求就是它可以短，容易走，而且走得尽可能快。

Kermit.

克米特。

Narrator: Just after 12 noon on February 27th, 1914, the men pushed off from shore and dipped their paddles into the River of Doubt for the very first time.

旁白：1914 年 2 月 27 日中午 12 点刚过，人们就离开岸边，第一次将桨浸入怀疑之河。

They drifted down the calm river in single file.

他们排成一列，沿着平静的河水漂流。

Kermit Roosevelt paddled in the lead canoe with camaradas Joao and Simplicio.

克米特·罗斯福与若昂和辛普利西奥一起划在领头独木舟上。

Theodore Roosevelt, with his paddlers Antonio and Julio, was in the rear.

西奥多·罗斯福和他的桨手安东尼奥和胡里奥在后面。

Swollen from the unending rain, the placid water belied great dangers just beneath the surface.

平静的水面因无休无止的雨水而膨胀，表面之下隐藏着巨大的危险。

Tangled vines and hidden trees threatened to capsize the bulky canoes that floated just inches above the water.

纠缠的藤蔓和隐藏的树木威胁着漂浮在水面几英寸处的笨重独木舟。

And deadly piranha, anaconda, and caiman lurked within the murky depths.

致命的食人鱼、水蟒和凯门鳄潜伏在黑暗的深处。

But what worried the men most was the eerie silence that overcame the jungle once they were on the river – a quiet that created an uneasy sense of isolation.

但最让他们担心的是，一旦他们到了河边，丛林里就弥漫着诡异的寂静——这种寂静让人产生一种不安的孤独感。

Rohter: It was beautiful.

罗特：很漂亮。

It’s such a gorgeous river, and it evokes something really fundamental – this closeness to nature.

这是一条如此美丽的河流，它唤起了一些真正基本的东西——这种与自然的亲近。

But it’s a kind of nature that you can’t take for granted because it’s so enormous and so overpowering.

但这是一种你不能认为是理所当然的自然现象，因为它是如此巨大，如此令人难以抗拒。

- beautiful, but threatening.

- 美丽，但具有威胁性。

Narrator: The River of Doubt was serpentine, snaking its way through the jungle.

旁白：怀疑之河呈蛇形，蜿蜒穿过丛林。

“The stream bent and curved in every direction,” Roosevelt noted, “toward every point on the compass.”

“河流向各个方向弯曲，”罗斯福指出，“流向罗盘上的每个点。”

Ornig: The River of Doubt.

奥尼格：怀疑之河。

It was like smooth, there were no obstacles, but it had this crazy corkscrew coursing and I think they were kind of lulled into security.

一切都很顺利，没有任何障碍，但它有疯狂的开瓶器般的速度，我认为他们有点陷入了安全感。

For the first couple days it seemed like, well, maybe this won’t be so bad.

在最初的几天里，似乎，好吧，也许情况不会那么糟糕。

And then about the second of March, all that changed rather dramatically.

然后大约在三月二号，一切都发生了巨大的变化。

Narrator: As they rounded yet another bend in the twisty river, the expedition began to feel a dramatic shift in the current.

旁白：当他们绕过蜿蜒河流的另一个弯道时，探险队开始感觉到水流发生了巨大的变化。

The roar of rapids suddenly broke the silence of the jungle.

急流的轰鸣声突然打破了丛林的寂静。

The team drove their canoes ashore to get a better look downstream.

团队将独木舟开上岸，以便更好地观察下游情况。

Stretching before them was a series of rapids that included at least two waterfalls.

在他们面前延伸的是一系列急流，其中至少有两个瀑布。

Kermit’s hopes for a quick descent were most certainly dashed.

克米特快速下降的希望肯定破灭了。

Jenkinson: Just a few days in they hit the first rapids.

詹金森：仅仅几天，他们就遇到了第一个急流。

And they realize, uh-oh, this river may be much, much more difficult than we could've anticipated.

他们意识到，呃哦，这条河可能比我们预想的要困难得多。

Narrator: “No canoe could ever live through such whirlpools,” George Cherrie wrote.

旁白：“没有独木舟能够在这样的漩涡中生存，”乔治·切里写道。

“Only one glance at the angry water was enough for us all to realize that a long portage would have to be made.”

“只要看一眼愤怒的水就足以让我们意识到必须进行长途运输。”

Possuelo: There is what they call sinkholes.

Possuelo：他们称之为天坑。

So they create a whirlpool and that makes the canoe capsize, which throws everyone overboard and you could die.

因此，他们制造了一个漩涡，使独木舟倾覆，将每个人都扔到了海里，你可能会死。

Narrator: Colonel Rondon determined that the only way to continue safely down the river was to cut a path through the jungle and walk around the rapids.

旁白：朗登上校认为，继续安全地顺流而下的唯一方法是在丛林中开辟一条路，绕过急流。

The camaradas emptied the boats and dragged them up the riverbank, clearing a path as they went.

卡马拉达人清空了船只，将它们拖到河岸上，边走边清理出一条道路。

They then cut down trees to fashion rollers out of logs, employing the block and tackle method to move the hulking, waterlogged dugouts.

然后，他们砍伐树木，用原木制成滚轮，采用滑轮组方法移动笨重、浸水的防空洞。

For two days and nights the camaradas worked tirelessly as the expedition continued to encounter rapids.

两天两夜，探险队继续遭遇急流，队员们不知疲倦地工作。

Each portage cost the men precious time and rations.

每次搬运都花费了人们宝贵的时间和口粮。

Rohter: Just rapid after rapid, after waterfall, after waterfall.

Rohter：只是急流接着急流，接着瀑布，接着瀑布。

In the official accounts, every day they’d track how many kilometers they’ve gone from their last campsite, and at the rate they were moving, they were never going to get to the mouth of the river.

在官方账户中，他们每天都会记录从最后一个露营地出发的公里数，而按照他们移动的速度，他们永远也无法到达河口。

Bayard: There’s an old Roosevelt family motto, when they were out on their cross-country trips, “Over, under, through, but never around.” So we can imagine how it must have chafed at them to have to go around again and again, because these canoes were so easily smashed, so they had to protect them.

贝亚德：罗斯福家族在越野旅行时有一句古老的座右铭：“上、下、穿过，但从不到处。”所以我们可以想象，一次又一次地绕来绕去，他们一定感到多么恼火，因为这些独木舟很容易被撞坏，所以他们必须保护它们。

Rohter: It’s time consuming.

罗特：这很耗时。

It’s physically draining.

这很消耗体力。

And, worst of all, it’s demoralizing because you never know when are we going to be done with this?

而且，最糟糕的是，这令人士气低落，因为你永远不知道我们什么时候才能完成这件事？

You think you’re finished, and then off in the distance, you hear the roar of another set of rapids.

你以为你已经完成了，然后在远处，你听到另一组急流的咆哮声。

Oh, no, what’s this one going to be like?

哦，不，这会是什么样子？

Narrator: The extraordinary character of the River of Doubt - its power and trajectory - was like nothing Roosevelt had ever experienced in the wild.

旁白：怀疑之河的非凡特征——它的力量和轨迹——是罗斯福在野外从未经历过的。

The river squeezed its way through a canyon no wider than the length of George Cherrie’s rifle.

河流挤过一个峡谷，峡谷的宽度不及乔治·切里的步枪长度。

Narrator: The long portages and the unpredictability of the river were wearing on the men physically and mentally.

旁白：漫长的运输和河流的不可预测性使人们身心疲惫。

Adding to the tension was Rondon’s insistence on making a painstaking detailed survey.

朗登坚持进行一项艰苦的详细调查，这加剧了紧张气氛。

Measuring every twist and turn in the river led to even more delays.

测量河流的每一次转弯都会导致更多的延误。

Ornig: In the first couple of days, it seemed like they could do this.

Ornig：在最初的几天里，他们似乎可以做到这一点。

Kermit Roosevelt, who was his surveying assistant, landed 114 times in one day, getting out of his canoe, crawling up onto the river bank, setting up the sighting pole while wasps and bugs and the insects are tearing him to pieces.

他的测量助手克米特·罗斯福一天之内登陆了 114 次，他从独木舟里爬出来，爬到河岸上，架起瞄准杆，而黄蜂、臭虫和昆虫则将他撕成碎片。

But then when the rapids began, it became impossible.

但当急流开始时，这就变得不可能了。

Roosevelt could not see spending so much time mapping.

罗斯福不认为花费这么多时间绘制地图。

Rondon VO: These developments caused a great deal of annoyance to Mr. Roosevelt who feared this should delay even more the termination of the journey.

朗登画外音：这些事态发展给罗斯福先生带来了很大的烦恼，他担心这会进一步推迟旅程的结束。

It was his earnest desire to finish in as short a period as possible, the undertaking that had brought him to these wilds.

正是他热切地希望在尽可能短的时间内完成这项事业，才把他带到了这片荒野。

We were obliged to abandon the method previously used in the survey of fixed stations, and to adopt instead that of sighting with the front canoe in motion.

我们不得不放弃以前使用的固定站观测方法，而采用前独木舟运动时的瞄准方法。

Bayard: From the start, there’s two very different objectives.

贝亚德：从一开始就有两个截然不同的目标。

Teddy Roosevelt just wants to get to the end of this river.

泰迪·罗斯福只想到达这条河的尽头。

He doesn’t care how many twists and turns it takes.

他不在乎这需要多少波折。

He just wants to get to the end.

他只想走到最后。

Rondon, though, wants to measure this river and map it.

不过，朗登想要测量这条河流并绘制地图。

He wants this expedition to be useful to the people who come after.

他希望这次探险对后来的人有用。

Diacon: Measuring, annotating, collecting, these are hallmarks of the Rondon project.

Diacon：测量、注释、收集，这些是 Rondon 项目的标志。

It may have seemed like excruciatingly painstaking work to the Americans that was too time-intensive.

对于美国人来说，这似乎是一项极其艰苦、耗时的工作。

To Rondon, this was business as usual - to be out there and engaged in painstaking work.

对于隆登来说，一切如常——出去从事艰苦的工作。

Jenkinson: Rondon wants to do this as a genuine and important scientific survey.

詹金森：隆登希望将其作为一项真正且重要的科学调查来进行。

Roosevelt wants to survive, and he feels concerned about everybody’s survival.

罗斯福想要生存，他关心每个人的生存。

And so there’s this building tension between them.

因此，他们之间的关系越来越紧张。

Narrator: After more than two weeks on the river, the expedition was making very little progress, averaging less than six miles a day.

旁白：在河上漂流了两个多星期后，探险队进展甚微，平均每天还不到六英里。

The lengthy portages around rapids, and Rondon’s mapping, had slowed them to a crawl.

急流周围漫长的运输和朗登的地图绘制，让他们的速度慢得像爬行一样。

One night, two canoes broke loose from their moorings, halting the expedition for four days while Rondon and his men made a new boat.

一天晚上，两艘独木舟脱离了停泊处，探险队中断了四天，而隆登和他的手下则建造了一艘新船。

Cherrie VO: Rondon would stand all day long, keeping the men working hard.

Cherrie 画外音：朗登会整天站着，让队员们努力工作。

The camaradas suffered greatly from attacks of insects.

卡马拉达人遭受了昆虫的袭击。

Their clothes were scant, their feet, hands and faces soon became sore and inflamed.

他们的衣服很少，脚、手、脸很快就变得酸痛发炎。

But the delay would only emphasize our need to make greater speed.

但延迟只会强调我们需要加快速度。

Roosevel t: As time went on, particularly the Americans were getting more and more impatient.

罗斯福：随着时间的推移，尤其是美国人变得越来越不耐烦。

Just getting around rapids was a very arduous task if you had to portage.

如果你必须搬运的话，仅仅绕过急流就是一项非常艰巨的任务。

Rohter: Rondon says it’s best not to try to run rapids, and we have guys here who know how to read these rapids, and let’s trust their judgment.

罗特：朗登说最好不要尝试急流，我们这里有知道如何解读这些急流的人，让我们相信他们的判断。

Narrator: On March 15th, Rondon ordered the expedition to prepare for yet another portage while he forged ahead to investigate the best way through the jungle and around the rapids.

旁白：3月15日，隆登命令探险队准备再次运输，而他则继续探索穿越丛林和急流的最佳路线。

Kermit, however, tired of delays, had other plans.

然而，克米特厌倦了拖延，有其他计划。

He ordered his boatmen Joao and Simplicio to paddle forward.

他命令船夫若昂和辛普利西奥划桨前进。

Rohter: You know, the boatmen, they were taught to obey orders from their superiors, and Kermit was one of their superiors.

罗特：你知道，船夫们被教导要服从上级的命令，而克米特是他们的上级之一。

He’s Colonel President Roosevelt’s son, therefore he has some authority.

他是罗斯福总统上校的儿子，因此他有一定的权威。

So the two guys said, “Okay, you know, that’s what you want to do?

于是两个人说：“好吧，你知道，这就是你想做的事吗？

We’re going to do it.”

我们会这么做的。”

Jenkinson : He instructs these two men to paddle forward.

詹金森：他指示这两个人向前划桨。

They get caught first in one whirlpool, and then in another.

他们首先陷入一个漩涡，然后又陷入另一个漩涡。

Bayard: There’s no way to get back.

贝亚德：没有办法回去了。

They try to row to shore, and their boat is swept over the waterfalls.

他们试图划到岸边，但他们的船被卷过瀑布。

Narrator: Kermit was dragged under, his helmet plastered to his face by the force and weight of the river.

旁白：克米特被拖到水下，他的头盔被河水的力量和重量压在脸上。

Somehow, he fought his way to the surface.

不知何故，他一路奋战到了地面。

Bayard: By this time, Rondon has strolled down the landward side of the river, and he’s standing over Kermit saying, “You have had a fine bath.” But the next words out of his mouth are, “Where is Simplicio?”

贝亚德：此时，朗登已经沿着河的陆地一侧漫步，他站在克米特身边说：“你洗了个澡。”但他接下来说的话是：“辛普利西奥在哪里？”

Rohter: Kermit and one of the boatmen made it to the other side, but Simplicio did not.

罗特：克米特和一名船夫到达了对岸，但辛普利西奥没有。

And that was a bleak moment.

那是一个凄凉的时刻。

Jenkinson: They look for him.

詹金森：他们在找他。

He’s never recovered.

他再也没有康复。

They never find another trace of him.

他们再也找不到他的踪迹。

Simplicio was drowned at this enormous rapids on the River of Doubt on March 15th, 1914.

1914 年 3 月 15 日，辛普利西奥在怀疑河的急流中溺亡。

Narrator: In addition to Simplicio, the river had swallowed up over a week’s worth of rations.

旁白：除了辛普利西奥之外，这条河还吞掉了一周多的口粮。

Jenkinson: TR and Kermit both say that it wasn’t an act of disobedience, that the river just grabbed Kermit’s canoe, and the river took over, and there was nothing that any human being could've done about it.

詹金森：TR和克米特都说这不是不服从的行为，河流只是抓住了克米特的独木舟，然后河流接管了一切，任何人类都无能为力。

It was the River of Doubt grabbing the pilot boat and sweeping them downstream.

那是怀疑之河抓住了领航船，将他们卷向下游。

Diacon: You see a flash of anger in Rondon.

Diacon：你看到 Rondon 身上闪过一丝愤怒。

“I know this world.

“我了解这个世界。

You disobeyed my suggestion, and this is what it got us.” And it was a great disappointment and it angered Rondon.

你违背了我的建议，这就是我们的下场。”这是一次巨大的失望，也激怒了隆登。

Bayard: Kermit had disobeyed Rondon’s orders, but Kermit wasn’t one of Rondon’s men.

贝亚德：克米特违反了隆登的命令，但克米特不是隆登的手下之一。

He was a guest.

他是一位客人。

He was the son of the most famous man in the world, and there was only so much Rondon could do in response to this.

他是世界上最著名的人的儿子，对此，隆登能做的只有这么多。

Narrator: No matter who was to blame, Simplicio’s death was devastating to the men of the expedition, especially to Theodore Roosevelt.

旁白：无论是谁的责任，辛普利西奥的死对探险队的人们来说都是毁灭性的，尤其是对西奥多·罗斯福来说。

Dalton: TR watches Kermit courting danger in exactly the way he does, and he realizes that it would be so terrible to watch your son drown right in front of you on this journey that was your journey.

道尔顿：TR 看着科米特以他自己的方式迎接危险，他意识到，在这趟属于你的旅程中，看着你的儿子在你面前淹死，那真是太可怕了。

But he’s worrying about something that he knows very well, he’s done that all his life, and there Kermit’s doing it too.

但他担心的是他非常了解的事情，他一生都在这样做，克米特也在这样做。

Bayard: Kermit became, by dint of strenuous effort, the child that he thought Teddy Roosevelt wanted him to be.

贝亚德：通过艰苦的努力，克米特成为了他认为泰迪·罗斯福希望他成为的孩子。

The kind of guy who will stand in the path of a charging elephant or lion, and coolly dispatch him with one bullet.

那种人会站在冲锋的大象或狮子的路上，冷静地用一颗子弹杀死他。

Jenkinson: And Roosevelt says, you know, “I worry about him - that he doesn't know when to pull back a little bit.

詹金森：罗斯福说，你知道，“我担心他——他不知道什么时候该退缩一点。

He might push too far.

他可能太过分了。

He might get himself killed.”

他可能会自杀。”

Narrator: After the drowning, the men honored the young Brazilian’s memory, and Colonel Rondon offered a simple gravesite eulogy - here perished the poor Simplicio.

旁白：溺水事件发生后，人们纪念了这位年轻的巴西人，隆登上校在墓地发表了简单的悼词——可怜的辛普利西奥就在这里丧生。

Cherrie VO : We went over our provisions today.

Cherrie VO：我们今天检查了我们的规定。

It is estimated that we have about 600 kilometers to go.

预计还有600公里左右的路程。

Since we started we have averaged about 7 kilometers a day.

自从我们开始以来，我们平均每天行驶约 7 公里。

At that rate we will be shy about 35 days of food.

按照这个速度，我们将缺乏大约 35 天的食物。

There may be very serious times ahead.

未来可能会有非常严峻的时刻。

Narrator: George Cherrie’s calculations were dire.

旁白：乔治·切里的算计非常可怕。

The team had always planned to augment their rations with game from the surrounding jungle, but the Amazon was yielding very little for them to eat.

该团队一直计划用周围丛林中的猎物来增加口粮，但亚马逊地区的出产很少可供他们食用。

The rainy season had flooded the banks, forcing game deep into the forest, and the men had little success catching fish in the swollen, muddy river.

雨季洪水淹没了河岸，迫使猎物深入森林深处，人们在水涨船高、泥泞不堪的河里抓鱼却收效甚微。

Bayard: They’re running out of food, and that has to be an astonishment for noted game hunters like the Roosevelts.

贝亚德：他们的食物即将耗尽，这对于像罗斯福家族这样的著名狩猎者来说一定会感到惊讶。

They went across Africa, they bagged more than 500 mammals over the course of their travels.

他们穿越非洲，在旅途中捕获了 500 多种哺乳动物。

Here they are in this incredibly abundant biosphere, and they can’t find food.

他们在这个极其丰富的生物圈中，却找不到食物。

So, it’s starting to prey on their bodies, it’s starting to prey on their minds.

所以，它开始掠夺他们的身体，开始掠夺他们的思想。

Narrator: Adding to their sense of despair was the feeling that they were being watched.

旁白：让他们更加绝望的是，他们感到自己被监视了。

The men spotted evidence of Indians along the shore, smoldering fires from abandoned campsites, fish traps, and trail markings.

这些人发现了沿岸印第安人的踪迹、废弃露营地的阴燃火、鱼陷阱和小路标记。

Possuelo: Aside from all the dangers they were subjected to by the topography, by the lack of knowledge of all that was going on, this course that Rondon is making on the River of Doubt is an unknown one and is inhabited by tribes and these tribes attack.

Possuelo：除了地形带来的所有危险之外，由于对正在发生的一切缺乏了解，朗登在怀疑河上的这条路线是未知的，并且有部落居住，这些部落会攻击。

Narrator: Determined to find food for the expedition, Colonel Rondon ventured deep into the jungle to hunt.

旁白：朗登上校决心为探险队寻找食物，于是冒险深入丛林狩猎。

After just a few hundred yards, he heard the yelps of what he thought was a spider monkey and then the sound of human voices.

走了几百码后，他听到了他认为是蜘蛛猴的叫声，然后是人类的声音。

He scrambled through the brush to discover his hunting dog Lobo had been killed.

他爬过灌木丛，发现他的猎犬洛博已经被杀了。

Jenkinson: He hears the yelps and finds that it’s been shot through.

詹金森：他听到了尖叫声，发现球已经被射穿了。

Long arrows.

长箭头。

And he realized that the dog has been killed by native peoples.

他意识到这只狗是被当地人杀死的。

Rohter: Even Rondon has no idea who they are.

罗特：就连朗登也不知道他们是谁。

They’re in truly unmapped territory, not just in the literal sense, but: who lives here?

他们处于真正未绘制地图的领域，不仅仅是字面意义上的，而是：谁住在这里？

We don’t even know.

我们甚至不知道。

We’re being watched, and we don’t know who is watching us.

我们正在被监视，但我们不知道谁在监视我们。

Gomes : The Cinta Largas, the Suruí and the Zoró Indians who lived around that area probably didn’t have any idea who Rondon was.

戈麦斯：居住在该地区附近的辛塔·拉加斯 (Cinta Largas)、苏鲁伊 (Suruí) 和佐罗 (Zoró) 印第安人可能根本不知道朗东是谁。

The Cinta Largas were famous for attacking other people.

辛塔·拉加斯人因攻击他人而闻名。

It was known that they didn’t want to have relations with Brazilians, in general, with anyone, so they had a propensity to attack whoever would come into their territory.

众所周知，他们不想与巴西人，一般来说，与任何人建立关系，因此他们倾向于攻击任何进入其领土的人。

I remember talking to the Cinta Largas once and they said, “Yeah, our ancestors talk about a trip of some guys on dugout canoes and watching them and not knowing what to do with them and whether to attack them or whether to let them go.”

我记得有一次和辛塔·拉加斯人交谈，他们说：“是的，我们的祖先谈到了一些人在独木舟上的旅行，看着他们，不知道如何处理他们，是否攻击他们或是否让他们走。”

Roosevelt: The Indians could have been completely invisible if they wanted to.

罗斯福：如果印第安人愿意的话，他们可以完全隐形。

But they didn’t.

但他们没有。

They wanted the expedition to know that they were being watched.

他们希望探险队知道他们正在被监视。

They shot the dog dead.

他们开枪打死了狗。

This is the first indication of deadly force.

这是致命力量的第一个迹象。

Narrator: Confident that the murder of his dog was merely a warning, Rondon responded peacefully, leaving gifts for the unknown tribe.

旁白：隆登确信他的狗被杀只是一个警告，他平静地回应，为未知的部落留下了礼物。

But the Americans were growing concerned that this was the beginning of an all-out assault.

但美国人越来越担心这是全面进攻的开始。

Diacon: If I were amongst the U.S. delegation, that’s how I would have interpreted it.

Diacon：如果我是美国代表团成员，我也会这么解释。

It would have worried me, and I know it worried the Americans.

这会让我担心，我知道这也会让美国人担心。

Dalton: Theodore Roosevelt assumed that Rondon knew this area and had some sense of control, or knew what was predictable on one of these journeys.

道尔顿：西奥多·罗斯福认为隆登了解这一地区并且有一定的控制感，或者知道在其中一次旅程中可以预测什么。

And now, Theodore Roosevelt realized that he was on an unknown river with an explorer who may be was outside of his depths.

现在，西奥多·罗斯福意识到，他正和一位探险家一起在一条未知的河流上，而这位探险家可能超出了他的深度。

He’s not sure what’s happening next.

他不确定接下来会发生什么。

Narrator: Around the campfire, the men could hear voices breaking through the hum of nighttime insects.

旁白：篝火周围，人们可以听到夜间昆虫的嗡嗡声中传来的声音。

Carlos Fausto, Anthropologist: Hearing these sounds during the night, this is really scary.

人类学家卡洛斯·福斯托（Carlos Fausto）：在夜间听到这些声音，这真的很可怕。

Really, really scary.

真的，真的很可怕。

You can’t tell the difference between your place and the forest.

你无法区分你的地方和森林。

And you know that that’s not your place.

而且你知道那不是你的位置。

Narrator : The expedition kept their rifles at the ready, but the Indians remained hidden.

旁白：探险队准备好了步枪，但印第安人仍然隐藏着。

Roosevelt: They were sleeping at night, knowing they’re there.

罗斯福：他们晚上睡觉时知道自己在那里。

And knowing in the middle of the night, one of them could come in and slit your throat and then creep out again, and nobody would know, until the next morning.

而且知道在半夜，他们中的一个可能会进来割断你的喉咙，然后再次爬出来，直到第二天早上，没有人会知道。

Narrator : With the specter of violent Indians lurking on the shore, Roosevelt lost all patience with Rondon’s continued delays.

旁白：随着海岸上潜伏着暴力印第安人的幽灵，罗斯福对朗登的持续拖延失去了所有耐心。

Ornig : Roosevelt said we’ve got to stop this very careful mapping.

奥尼格：罗斯福说我们必须停止这种非常仔细的绘图。

The two colonels had a big, big argument in the tent - that he didn’t want his son to be out in front anymore.

两位上校在帐篷里发生了一场非常非常大的争吵——他不想让他的儿子再站在前面。

“And you must adopt this, uh, another method of surveying.

“而且你必须采用这个，呃，另一种测量方法。

I will not have my son put in mortal danger for a map.”

我不会为了一张地图而让我的儿子陷入生命危险。”

Rondon VO: Roosevelt said to me, “Great men don't bother with details.” And I responded that, “I'm not a great man and this is not about details.

朗登画外音：罗斯福对我说，“伟人不会为细节而烦恼。”我回答说：“我不是一个伟人，这与细节无关。

This survey is something imperative, without which this whole expedition would be pointless.”

这项调查势在必行，没有它，整个探险就毫无意义。”

Jenkinson: Rondon then said, “I’ll tell you what, I’ll, we’ll move ahead faster, I’ll escort you out.

詹金森：隆登然后说，“我告诉你，我会，我们会更快地前进，我会护送你出去。

I’ll accommodate your needs, and I’ll move quickly so I can escort you off the river.” Rondon is essentially now saying, “You’re reverting to a celebrity.

我会满足你的需求，我会迅速行动，护送你离开河流。”隆登现在实质上是在说：“你正在回归名人。

You’re not really an explorer because you’re really thinking more about getting out, than you are about the actual, really difficult work that it would take to do this right.”

你并不是真正的探险家，因为你真正考虑的更多的是离开，而不是真正做好这件事所需的实际、非常困难的工作。”

Fausto: It was hard for Roosevelt because he was not in control.

福斯托：这对罗斯福来说很困难，因为他无法控制。

Roosevelt was playing the following game: I will make Rondon believe that he is in charge, but I am the man.

罗斯福正在玩以下游戏：我会让朗登相信他是负责人，但我就是那个人。

But in a certain point, he discovers that Rondon was doing the same, and much more effectively, because he was the only one who could take them out of the situation.

但在某种程度上，他发现朗登也在做同样的事情，而且更有效，因为他是唯一一个能够带领他们摆脱困境的人。

Narrator: On the morning of March 18th, 1914, Colonel Rondon gathered the men of the expedition to make an official announcement.

旁白：1914年3月18日早上，朗登上校召集了探险队的成员，正式宣布了这一消息。

He had determined that the River of Doubt was a major Amazonian tributary now deserving of a proper name.

他确定怀疑河是亚马逊流域的一条主要支流，现在值得拥有一个合适的名称。

The River of Doubt, he proclaimed, would now be known as the Rio Roosevelt.

他宣称，“怀疑之河”现在将被称为“里约罗斯福河”。

Rohter: This is a moment of achievement.

罗特：这是一个成就的时刻。

This river is a majestic river, it’s a major river.

这条河是一条雄伟的河流，是一条大河。

It’s a moment that establishes the nominal purpose for which Teddy has come.

这一刻确立了泰迪到来的名义目的。

Narrator: Getting to this point on the river hadn’t been easy on the Americans.

旁白：对美国人来说，在河上走到这一步并不容易。

George Cherrie wrote that Roosevelt was looking “so thin that his clothes hang on him like bags.” And no one had any idea when it would end.

乔治·切里写道，罗斯福看起来“太瘦了，衣服像袋子一样挂在身上”。没有人知道它什么时候会结束。

But Rondon’s gesture of naming the river after the former president momentarily buoyed the men’s spirits.

但隆登以前总统的名字命名这条河的举动暂时振奋了人们的士气。

Ornig: There was three cheers for Kermit, three cheers for Colonel and then someone said, “We’ve forgotten Cherrie.

奥尼格：为克米特欢呼三声，为上校欢呼三声，然后有人说：“我们忘记了切丽。

Three cheers for Cherrie!” Cherrie says, “It took so little to cheer us, any bit of good news, when you reach a point of despair like that, the littlest thing can give you hope.”

为切里欢呼三声！”切里说：“任何一点好消息都不需要什么就能让我们高兴起来，当你达到这样的绝望境地时，哪怕是最小的事情也能给你带来希望。”

Narrator: On March 23rd, 1914, Theodore Roosevelt’s wife Edith awoke to alarming news.

旁白：1914 年 3 月 23 日，西奥多·罗斯福的妻子伊迪丝醒来时听到了令人震惊的消息。

The New York Times was reporting that her husband and son were lost on an unknown river in the Brazilian wilderness.

《纽约时报》报道称，她的丈夫和儿子在巴西荒野的一条不知名河流中失踪。

Bayard: When word arrived that the expedition had been lost, Edith was worried that Teddy met more than his match in the jungle.

贝亚德：当探险队失败的消息传来时，伊迪丝担心泰迪在丛林中遇到了更多的对手。

Narrator: The last correspondence Edith had received from Theodore was on Christmas Eve, when he was making his way into the Brazilian backcountry.

旁白：伊迪丝收到西奥多的最后一封信是在圣诞夜，当时他正前往巴西偏远地区。

His only complaint was the constant “prickly heat.”

他唯一的抱怨是持续不断的“痱子”。

Ornig: She had no way of knowing what was happening.

Ornig：她无法知道发生了什么。

Well, she’d been used to being, you know, worried dreadfully about his escapades - when he went into the Spanish War, when he left for Africa.

嗯，你知道，她已经习惯了对他的越轨行为深感担忧——当他卷入西班牙战争时，当他前往非洲时。

Narrator: The worrisome news in The Times came from a desperate telegram sent by American provisioner Anthony Fiala.

旁白：《泰晤士报》上令人担忧的消息来自美国供应商安东尼·菲亚拉发出的一封绝望的电报。

The message described his own harrowing journey out of the jungle, after he was dismissed from the expedition.

这条信息描述了他在被探险队解散后走出丛林的痛苦旅程。

Jenkinson: Fiala didn’t clarify that the expedition had split, that he was part of one of the secondary strains.

詹金森：菲亚拉没有澄清探险队已经分裂，也没有澄清他是次要菌株之一。

The New York Times reckoned that that meant the whole expedition had miscarried.

《纽约时报》认为这意味着整个探险队流产了。

Narrator: For Edith Roosevelt the news was hard to believe.

旁白：对于伊迪丝·罗斯福来说，这个消息令人难以置信。

Dalton: For her entire marriage, she knew that TR was facing danger often.

道尔顿：在她的整个婚姻中，她知道TR经常面临危险。

When he was in Africa, it was reported that he was killed, and she read that and, you know, it was upsetting to her, but there was a part of her that didn’t believe it.

当他在非洲时，有报道称他被杀了，她读到了这一消息，你知道，这让她感到不安，但她内心深处并不相信这一点。

So she was not going to go into mourning because this was a guy who had been reported dead several times.

所以她不会哀悼，因为这个人已经被报道过好几次了。

And so, this trip, she sent Kermit as life insurance.

因此，这次旅行，她送了克米特作为人寿保险。

She has set Kermit up to be the person who is going to rescue Theodore Roosevelt from himself.

她让克米特成为将西奥多·罗斯福从自己手中拯救出来的人。

She just had to believe that she was going to see them again.

她只需要相信她会再次见到他们。

Narrator: The very evening of The New York Times story, George Cherrie had made a desperate entry into his diary.

旁白：《纽约时报》报道的当天晚上，乔治·切里绝望地写下了日记。

“Our position,” he wrote, “every day grows more serious.”

“我们的立场，”他写道，“每一天都变得更加严肃。”

The naturalist estimated that half the provisions were already gone.

博物学家估计一半的食物已经用完了。

With likely hundreds of miles yet to go, the men had food for just 25 more days.

距离可能还有数百英里，这些人的食物仅够维持 25 天。

And the expedition was still mired in rapids that required endless portages through the jungle.

探险队仍然陷入急流之中，需要在丛林中进行无尽的运输。

Narrator: On March 27th, two of their dugout canoes were pulled under by the ferocious current and became lodged between slick rocks.

旁白：3月27日，他们的两艘独木舟被汹涌的水流拖入水中，卡在光滑的岩石之间。

Weakened by hunger, illness, and weeks of backbreaking portages, Roosevelt, Kermit, and several camaradas struggled for hours to dislodge them.

由于饥饿、疾病和数周的艰苦搬运，罗斯福、克米特和几位同事奋力挣扎了几个小时才把他们赶走。

The men eventually freed their canoes but not before Roosevelt slipped in the churning water and gashed his shin.

这些人最终解救了他们的独木舟，但罗斯福在翻腾的水中滑倒并割伤了小腿。

Jenkinson: Blood starts to swirl out.

詹金森：血液开始流淌。

And everyone realizes, this is a whole new chapter in this story now.

每个人都意识到，现在这是这个故事的全新篇章。

Bayard: In the jungle, the slightest contusion, abrasion, is going to magnify and metastasize and grow, so very soon this is a full-boiled infection that’s slowly colonizing his leg, and is spreading poison into his system.

贝亚德：在丛林中，最轻微的挫伤、擦伤都会放大、转移和生长，所以很快就会成为完全感染，慢慢地在他的腿上定居，并将毒物传播到他的系统中。

Narrator: Roosevelt assured his team that the wound was little more than a scratch.

旁白：罗斯福向他的团队保证伤口只是擦伤。

But at camp later that night, he spiked a dangerously high fever.

但当晚晚些时候，他在营地里发起了危险的高烧。

An Obstacle They Could Not Pass “ Day 67 ”

他们无法逾越的障碍“第 67 天”

Narrator: On the morning of March 28th, despite his weakened condition, Theodore Roosevelt took his place alongside the other men, and continued down the river.

旁白：3月28日早上，西奥多·罗斯福尽管身体虚弱，但还是和其他人一起继续沿河而下。

But the expedition traveled less than a mile before they were forced to prepare for another portage around rough water.

但探险队只走了不到一英里，就被迫准备在波涛汹涌的水域进行另一次运输。

As they cut a path through the jungle, the men came upon a clearing and, for the first time since setting off on the river, they could see what lay ahead.

当他们在丛林中开辟一条道路时，人们来到了一片空地，自从从河上出发以来，他们第一次能够看到前方的情况。

Below them stretched a canyon, over a mile wide.

他们下方是一条宽达一英里多的峡谷。

Cherrie VO: It was a beautiful view but it filled everyone with dread.

Cherrie VO：那是一个美丽的景色，但它让每个人都充满了恐惧。

We had learned that whenever the river entered among the hills that it meant rapids and cataracts and our strength and courage alike were almost exhausted.

我们了解到，每当河流进入山间，就意味着急流和瀑布，我们的体力和勇气都几乎耗尽。

Narrator: The men had finally met an obstacle around which they could not portage.

旁白：这些人终于遇到了一个无法绕过的障碍。

Ornig: This group of men were faced with continual series of dilemmas.

奥尼格：这群人不断面临着一系列的困境。

When they reached this canyon, Rondon wants to dump the canoes and march overland and then build new ones on the other side, which the Americans thought was crazy.

当他们到达这个峡谷时，隆登想把独木舟扔掉，走陆路，然后在另一边建造新的独木舟，美国人认为这是疯狂的。

If they had left the dugouts behind, they would have to spend days, if not a week, rebuilding canoes and then they’d be subject to perhaps another attack.

如果他们留下了防空洞，他们将不得不花几天甚至一周的时间来重建独木舟，然后他们可能会遭受另一次攻击。

Narrator: “To all of us,” Cherrie wrote, “this news was practically a death sentence.”

旁白：“对我们所有人来说，”切里写道，“这个消息实际上等于宣判了死刑。”

It was a wonder that Theodore Roosevelt had made it this far.

西奥多·罗斯福能走到这一步真是一个奇迹。

He had arrived in Brazil grossly overweight, practically blind in one eye, and with a heart weakened from his childhood asthma.

他抵达巴西时体重严重超重，一只眼睛几乎失明，并且由于童年哮喘而导致心脏衰弱。

Now, wracked with a fever made worse by the onset of malaria, and a festering leg infection, Rondon’s plan to hike around the gorge was simply not an option for the battered ex-president.

现在，疟疾发作导致发烧加剧，腿部感染化脓，朗登绕峡谷徒步的计划对于这位饱受折磨的前总统来说根本不是一个选择。

That night, Cherrie and Kermit kept watch over Roosevelt.

那天晚上，切里和克米特一直监视着罗斯福。

Kermit, through all their travels together, had never seen his father so defeated.

在他们一起旅行的所有旅途中，克米特从未见过他的父亲如此失败。

Jenkinson: Roosevelt calls in Kermit and Cherrie.

詹金森：罗斯福请来了克米特和切里。

And says, “Boys, this is it.

并说：“孩子们，就是这样。

Either we all die, or I die and you all get out, and obviously there’s no choice.

要么我们都死，要么我死了，你们都滚出去，显然别无选择。

You have to, you have to leave me here.” Because he realizes that his decrepit condition may jeopardize the survival of everybody else.

你必须这么做，你必须把我留在这里。”因为他意识到他的衰弱状况可能会危及其他人的生存。

Narrator: For years, whenever on an adventure, Roosevelt had secretly carried a vial of morphine.

旁白：多年来，每次冒险时，罗斯福都会偷偷携带一瓶吗啡。

It was, he later admitted, to avoid dying a lingering death.

他后来承认，这是为了避免苟延残喘。

Jenkinson : Theodore Roosevelt has been to war, broken many bones in his body.

詹金森：西奥多·罗斯福参加过战争，身体骨折了很多骨头。

He’s always getting battered and beaten and broken.

他总是被殴打、殴打和破碎。

He’s indomitable.

他是不屈不挠的。

So imagine what it would take for Theodore Roosevelt to say, “I have to die”.

因此，想象一下西奥多·罗斯福需要什么才能说“我必须死”。

But Kermit says, “No, that’s not going to happen.

但克米特说：“不，这不会发生。

We’re going to get you out of here.”

我们会带你离开这里。”

Narrator: Kermit quickly devised a plan to lower the canoes through the gorge, rather than abandon them.

旁白：克米特很快制定了一项计划，将独木舟放下穿过峡谷，而不是放弃它们。

Roosevelt: The gorge is a pretty dramatic gorge with high walls on either side, and the river roaring through it.

罗斯福：这个峡谷是一个非常引人注目的峡谷，两侧都有高高的墙壁，河流咆哮着穿过它。

Ornig: The workers had this natural ability.

奥尼格：工人们有这种天生的能力。

They knew how to handle these boats.

他们知道如何操纵这些船。

Narrator: Kermit designed a pulley system that the camaradas used to lower the empty canoes over a series of waterfalls, some as high as 30 feet.

旁白：克米特设计了一个滑轮系统，船员们用它来将空独木舟降到一系列瀑布上，有些瀑布高达 30 英尺。

Ornig: They had to get these boats let down walking on ledges.

Ornig：他们必须让这些船在壁架上行走。

They barely had a toe-hold.

他们几乎没有立足点。

They were like insects pressed against the wall of this chasm.

他们就像是被压在这道裂缝的墙壁上的昆虫。

Roosevelt: Imagine hanging on to something, the thing weighs 2,000 pounds.

罗斯福：想象一下抓住某个东西，这个东西重 2,000 磅。

How easily it could be whipped away and drag you with it.

它多么容易被甩开，并把你拖走。

Narrator: After four exhausting days descending several sets of violent rapids and steep waterfalls, the men finally reached the northern end of the canyon.

旁白：经过四天的疲惫，他们沿着几处急流和陡峭的瀑布而下，终于到达了峡谷的北端。

Somehow, through it all, they lost only one canoe.

不知何故，经历了这一切，他们只失去了一艘独木舟。

Rohter: It’s a moment of enormous stress and potential danger.

罗特：这是一个充满巨大压力和潜在危险的时刻。

And Kermit is clear thinking and rigs a solution.

克米特思路清晰，并提出了解决方案。

It’s kind of like the moment where Kermit earns his bones.

这有点像克米特赢得骨头的那一刻。

Narrator : Bolstered by the success of Kermit’s plan, Theodore Roosevelt summoned the strength to carry on.

旁白：受到克米特计划成功的鼓舞，西奥多·罗斯福鼓起勇气继续前进。

Though too weak to walk more than a few hundred yards at a time, Roosevelt eventually limped his way out of the canyon.

尽管罗斯福太虚弱，一次只能走几百码，但他最终还是一瘸一拐地走出了峡谷。

Jenkinson: Roosevelt himself realizes that he no longer has everything it takes to be the inevitable commander, but his son has those qualities, and his son’s youth, and strength, and will might just get them through.

詹金森：罗斯福本人意识到，他不再具备成为不可避免的指挥官所需的一切，但他的儿子拥有这些品质，而他儿子的年轻、力量和意志可能会让他们度过难关。

Kermit VO: There is a universal saying, “When men are off in the wilds they show themselves as they really are.” Without the minor comforts of life he is not always attractive.

克米特画外音：有一句普遍的说法：“当男人在野外时，他们就会展现出真实的自己。”如果没有生活的小小舒适，他并不总是有吸引力。

He may seem a very different individual when on half rations, eaten cold and sleeping from utter exhaustion, cramped and wet.

当他只吃一半的口粮、吃冷食、因极度疲惫、狭窄和潮湿而睡觉时，他可能看起来是一个非常不同的人。

Narrator: After a month of paddling on the River of Doubt, the men were weak from hunger and disease and still had no idea where the river would lead them next - or when the journey would come to an end.

旁白：在怀疑之河上划船一个月后，人们因饥饿和疾病而变得虚弱，但仍然不知道河流接下来会带他们去哪里，也不知道旅程何时结束。

Jenkinson: They didn’t know what was around the next bend in the river.

詹金森：他们不知道河的下一个拐弯处有什么。

They didn’t know long the river was, whether it was 7 kilometers or 700.

他们不知道这条河有多长，是7公里还是700公里。

They didn’t know how many days it would take.

他们不知道需要多少天。

So the mystery of it begins to gnaw at them.

因此，它的神秘开始折磨着他们。

Bayard: You see in the accounts as the journey goes on, an increasing sense of despair.

贝亚德：随着旅程的继续，你会在账目中看到越来越强烈的绝望感。

And as it continued to wind and ribbon and turn, it’s starting to prey on their bodies, it’s starting to prey on their minds, and they’re not the same people that began that journey.

当它继续缠绕、丝带和旋转时，它开始掠夺他们的身体，它开始掠夺他们的思想，而他们不再是开始这段旅程的同一个人。

Narrator: On April 3rd, 1914, as the expedition set up its 30th camp along the riverbank, a burst of gunfire broke the silence of the jungle.

旁白：1914年4月3日，当探险队沿着河岸建立第30个营地时，一阵枪声打破了丛林的寂静。

Two of the camaradas, Julio and Paishon, had been arguing after Julio had been caught stealing food.

其中两个同伴，胡里奥和派尚，在胡里奥偷食物被抓后一直在争吵。

Ornig: Julio was sort of a malcontent and shirker of work, and he liked to steal food, and I guess as things got worse, he got extremely hungry.

奥尼格：胡里奥有点不满和逃避工作，他喜欢偷食物，我猜随着事情变得更糟，他变得非常饥饿。

And something snapped in Julio and he noticed a rifle nearby, and at an opportune moment, killed Paishon.

胡里奥身上的东西突然破裂，他注意到附近有一支步枪，并在适当的时候杀死了派尚。

Narrator: By the time the men reached Paishon, he was dead - shot point blank in the chest.

旁白：当这些人到达派尚时，他已经死了——胸部被近距离射中。

Bayard: They’re running out of food, they’re running out of time, and that changes their calculus of what’s right and wrong.

贝亚德：他们的食物即将耗尽，时间也即将耗尽，这改变了他们对是非的判断。

I don’t think that’s a crime that could have happened at the beginning of the trip.

我认为这不可能是在旅行开始时就发生的犯罪行为。

It’s no surprise that he snapped.

他突然爆发并不奇怪。

You have a group of men who just aren’t convinced they’re going to survive this.

有一群人不相信自己能挺过这次难关。

Teddy Roosevelt, he must have thought, “If they’ve started killing each other, what will happen next, and who will be left at the end?” It’s a Darwinian equation, you know?

泰迪·罗斯福，他肯定想，“如果他们开始互相残杀，接下来会发生什么，最后会留下谁？”这是达尔文方程，你知道吗？

The fittest are going to survive, and they won’t necessarily be looking out for each other at the end.

适者生存，最终他们不一定会互相照顾。

So they’ll inevitably start turning on each other.

所以他们将不可避免地开始互相攻击。

Narrator: Julio disappeared into the jungle.

旁白：胡里奥消失在丛林中。

It was possible he’d be swallowed whole by the unforgiving wilderness, killed by Indians, or continue to stalk the expedition - nobody knew for sure.

他有可能会被无情的荒野完全吞噬，被印第安人杀死，或者继续跟踪探险队——没有人确切知道。

Roosevelt: There was a murderer in the woods so now the question is what to do?

罗斯福：树林里有凶手，现在的问题是该怎么办？

Try to track him down or not track him down.

尝试追踪他或不追踪他。

Diacon: Rondon wanted to essentially take this murderer as a prisoner and take them with them and then subject him to military judgment, and Roosevelt was like, “No way.

戴康：隆登本质上是想把这个凶手当作囚犯，带上他们，然后让他接受军事审判，而罗斯福则说，“不可能。

That’s just one more mouth to feed.

这只是多一张要喂饱的嘴而已。

Let’s get going.”

我们走吧。”

Narrator : Rondon insisted that they continue the manhunt.

旁白：朗登坚持要求他们继续搜捕。

For Roosevelt, who was plagued by fevers and a deepening abscess on his leg, further delay was unthinkable.

对于饱受发烧和腿部脓肿困扰的罗斯福来说，进一步拖延是不可想象的。

Bayard: Rondon is still slowing things down in a way that Roosevelt must find increasingly intolerable.

贝亚德：隆登仍在以罗斯福越来越难以忍受的方式放慢速度。

It must have been excruciating that they would stop at this point and go search for this man.

他们会在这个时候停下来寻找这个人，一定很痛苦。

They should be heading onward.

他们应该继续前进。

Again, it’s that tension.

再说一次，就是那种紧张。

And that tension is approaching the breaking point at this point.

而这种紧张局势此时已接近临界点。

Ornig: The two colonels continued to argue.

奥尼格：两位上校继续争论。

They would quarrel, but they they couldn’t get to the point of having a break like, “Well, I’m going this way, you can go that way.”

他们会吵架，但他们无法达到休息的地步，比如“好吧，我走这边，你走那边。”

Narrator: As the men continued downstream, Julio, to their surprise, reappeared along the river bank, pleading for his life.

旁白：当人们继续顺流而下时，令他们惊讶的是，胡里奥再次出现在河岸边，恳求饶命。

But Roosevelt and Rondon were in agreement.

但罗斯福和隆登达成了一致。

They decided to let the jungle determine his fate.

他们决定让丛林决定他的命运。

Rohter: And Rondon goes right by him, as does the canoe with Roosevelt.

罗特：朗登就从他身边经过，罗斯福的独木舟也是如此。

Ornig: And they all pass by in stony silence.

奥尼格：他们都在冷漠的沉默中经过。

Narrator: It had been two and a half months since the men set out into the wilderness.

旁白：自从这些人出发进入荒野以来，已经有两个半月了。

They had traveled nearly 600 miles - 375 over land and more than 200 on the river.

他们已经行驶了近 600 英里，其中陆路 375 英里，河道 200 多英里。

With the mountainous terrain of the canyons behind them, the men hoped for a smoother descent to the mouth of the River of Doubt.

身后是峡谷的山区地形，人们希望能更顺利地下降到怀疑河口。

But on the night of April 4th, Roosevelt’s malarial fever returned with a vengeance.

但4月4日晚上，罗斯福的疟疾卷土重来。

With few medications at his disposal, the expedition’s doctor injected quinine directly into the former president’s stomach.

由于可用的药物很少，探险队的医生将奎宁直接注射到前总统的胃中。

Kermit, Cherrie, and Colonel Rondon took turns sitting by Roosevelt’s sickbed.

克米特、切里和隆登上校轮流坐在罗斯福的病床边。

Kermit VO: The scene is vivid before me.

Kermit 画外音： 这一幕历历在目。

For a few moments the stars would be shining, and then the sky would cloud over and the rain would fall in torrents shutting out sky and trees and river.

有那么一会儿，星星会闪闪发光，然后天空乌云密布，倾盆大雨倾盆而下，遮住了天空、树木和河流。

Father first began with poetry; over and over again he repeated “In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome decree.”

父亲最初是从诗歌开始的；他一遍又一遍地重复“忽必烈汗在上都颁布了一项庄严的享乐圆顶法令”。

Roosevelt : There was a point where nobody really thought he was going to live through the night, and he was raving.

罗斯福：有那么一刻，没有人真正认为他能活过这一夜，而他却胡言乱语。

Dalton: Theodore Roosevelt’s fevers come back, and he becomes delirious.

道尔顿：西奥多·罗斯福又发烧了，他变得精神错乱。

He’s not really himself.

他并不是真正的他自己。

Jenkinson: Here in the middle of this dense tropical jungle, TR starts to recite from Kubla Khan.

詹金森：在这片茂密的热带丛林中，TR 开始背诵忽必烈汗的作品。

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure-dome decree: where Alph, the sacred river, ran through caverns measureless to man down to a sunless sea.

在上都，忽必烈汗颁布了一项庄严的游乐穹顶法令：阿尔夫河，神圣的河流，穿过人类无法测量的洞穴，流入没有阳光的大海。

It’s a magnificent, haunting, romantic poem and fitting for this moment.

这是一首壮丽、令人难忘、浪漫的诗，非常适合此时此刻。

They are in chasms measureless to man trying to get to the sea.

对于试图到达大海的人类来说，它们处于无边无际的深渊中。

Bayard: A simple line is repeated again and again and again.

贝亚德：一条简单的线条被一次又一次地重复。

He’s still aspiring to the summer palace of Kubla Khan, to the great heights of the pleasure dome.

他仍然渴望去忽必烈汗的夏宫，去到享乐穹顶的伟大高度。

He’s still reaching out, reaching up.

他仍在伸出手，向上伸。

He’s not cowering in the face of death.

面对死亡，他并没有退缩。

Narrator: Drifting in and out of delirium, Roosevelt told Rondon that the expedition must proceed without him.

旁白：罗斯福在精神错乱中时断时续地告诉隆登，探险队必须在没有他的情况下继续进行。

They could not afford further delay.

他们不能再拖延了。

Rondon VO: He was with fever and delirious.

Rondon 画外音：他发烧并且神志不清。

I said the expedition can not carry on without you.

我说过没有你探险就无法进行。

It is impossible.

这是不可能的。

This expedition is called Roosevelt-Rondon!

这次探险被称为“罗斯福-朗登”！

That was my argument to his plea.

这就是我对他的请求的论据。

Possuelo: Rondon responds accordingly.

Possuelo：Rondon 做出了相应的回应。

“Never.” Rondon tells him, “No. We’ll all come out of this together or we’ll all die together, but I'll never abandon you.

“绝不。”隆登告诉他，“不。我们会一起走出困境，或者我们会一起死去，但我永远不会放弃你。

Do not even think of this.”

这个想都别想。”

Ornig: Rondon said, “But you are the expedition.” Rondon could not see leaving him behind.

奥尼格：隆登说，“但你就是探险队。”隆登无法看到把他抛在身后。

That was unthinkable.

那是不可想象的。

The admiration had still survived all the contention, all the hardship.

尽管经历了所有的争吵和困难，钦佩之情依然存在。

Rohter: In a military expedition you don’t leave your guys behind.

罗特：在军事远征中，你不会把你的人抛在后面。

It was a non-starter - Roosevelt’s delirious request.

这是罗斯福疯狂的要求，根本不可能实现。

Narrator : From here forward, the ex-president would have to rely on the other men to carry him out of the jungle.

旁白：从现在开始，前总统将不得不依靠其他人把他带出丛林。

The expedition continued down the river, with Roosevelt now lying beneath a makeshift canopy.

探险队继续沿河而下，罗斯福号现在躺在临时搭建的天篷下。

Kermit VO: Down beyond the rapids the river widened so that instead of seeing the sun through the canyon of the trees for but a few hours, it hung above us like a molten ball and broiled us.

克米特画外音：在急流的下游，河水变宽了，以至于只有几个小时才能看到阳光穿过树林的峡谷，它像一个熔球一样悬挂在我们上方，炙烤着我们。

To a sick man, it must have been intolerable.

对于一个病人来说，这肯定是难以忍受的。

Narrator: When Roosevelt set out on the River of Doubt expedition, he famously wrote a skeptical friend that he had already lived and enjoyed as much life as any nine other men and was quite ready to leave his bones in South America.

旁白：当罗斯福踏上“怀疑之河”探险之旅时，他给一位持怀疑态度的朋友写了一封著名的信，称他已经像其他九个人一样生活和享受过生活，并且已经准备好将自己的骨头留在南美洲。

But on April 15th, 1914, it suddenly became clear that Theodore Roosevelt was going to live to tell the tale of yet another great adventure.

但 1914 年 4 月 15 日，人们突然意识到，西奥多·罗斯福将在世讲述另一场伟大冒险的故事。

Jenkinson: They see a marking that says “J.A.” And so they know it’s somebody with an alphabet.

詹金森：他们看到一个标记，上面写着“J.A.”所以他们知道这是一个有字母表的人。

Narrator : It was the first trace of the outside world that the men had seen since launching their dugouts a month and a half earlier.

旁白：这是自一个半月前推出防空洞以来，这些人第一次看到外面世界的痕迹。

It was a clear indication that salvation lay ahead.

这清楚地表明救赎就在前方。

After a few more hours on the river, the men spotted smoke billowing out of a thatched-roof home.

在河上又待了几个小时后，人们发现一间茅草屋顶的房屋冒出滚滚浓烟。

The expedition had reached a tiny outpost of rubber tappers.

探险队到达了一个小型的割胶工前哨站。

Diacon: I think that’s the moment that everybody realized they were going to, they were going to live.

Diacon：我认为那是每个人都意识到他们要活下去的那一刻。

Cherrie VO: Shouts of exaltation went up from our canoes as this frail outpost of civilization met our eyes.

切丽画外音：当我们看到这个脆弱的文明前哨时，我们的独木舟上响起了欢呼声。

What a delightful sight it was.

这是多么令人愉快的景象啊。

Uncertainty was at once a thing of the past.

不确定性立刻成为过去。

Finally, we had reached a point below which the river was known.

最后，我们到达了一个点，低于该点的河流为人所熟知。

Jenkinson: After all of this uncertainty, they realize we will complete the journey.

詹金森：在经历了所有这些不确定性之后，他们意识到我们将完成这段旅程。

And so here’s the President of the United States, the former President and one of the world’s great men, just prone in the boat unable really to even sit up at this point.

这是美国总统，前总统和世界伟人之一，他俯卧在船上，此时甚至无法真正坐起来。

Narrator: The ordeal had left the men gaunt and wild eyed from hunger.

旁白：这场磨难让这些人变得憔悴不堪，饥肠辘辘。

Their clothes were in tatters, their skin burnt and covered in insect bites, and Theodore Roosevelt was barely clinging to life.

他们的衣服破烂不堪，皮肤被烧伤，布满昆虫叮咬，西奥多·罗斯福已奄奄一息。

None of them could believe that they had made it to civilization.

他们谁也不敢相信自己已经进入了文明社会。

On April 26th, after paddling more than 400 miles, the men had finally covered the length of the River of Doubt.

4 月 26 日，在划了 400 多英里之后，人们终于走完了怀疑河。

At the mouth of the river a rescue boat from the Brazilian navy was waiting to ferry them to the city of Manaus.

在河口，一艘巴西海军的救援船正在等待将他们运送到马瑙斯市。

The river had claimed the lives of three of the expedition’s men, swallowed almost all of their possessions, and nearly killed Theodore Roosevelt.

这条河夺去了三名探险队队员的生命，吞噬了他们几乎所有的财产，并差点杀死了西奥多·罗斯福。

Along the way, friendships and family bonds had been put to the test.

一路走来，友谊和家庭纽带都经受着考验。

But somehow they withstood and, in some cases, were even strengthened by the experience.

但不知何故，他们经受住了，在某些情况下，甚至因这段经历而变得更加坚强。

Jenkinson : When they finally come out, Rondon stops the little steamer that they’re on at 2 a.m., in the middle of the night, so that Roosevelt can quietly be taken off of this boat on a stretcher and not be seen as an invalid.

詹金森：当他们终于出来时，朗登在凌晨 2 点半夜停下了他们乘坐的小轮船，这样罗斯福就可以被担架悄悄地从船上抬下来，而不会被视为病人。

Rondon wants to protect his dignity.

隆登想保护自己的尊严。

Not have TR be seen as a man who’s become incapacitated by this journey.

TR 不应该被视为一个因这次旅程而丧失能力的人。

Narrator: From Manaus, Roosevelt sent a telegram to his wife Edith after months of silence.

旁白：在沉默了几个月之后，罗斯福从马瑙斯给他的妻子伊迪丝发了一封电报。

“Successful trip,” he wrote, and gave no hint of his condition.

“旅途成功，”他写道，但没有透露他的病情。

C â ndido Rondon did not waste time on goodbyes.

坎迪多·隆东没有在告别上浪费时间。

As soon as the Americans set sail, Rondon turned around and returned to the jungle.

美国人一起航，隆登就掉头返回丛林。

He threw himself into the last crucial stages of his telegraph project and resumed his work for the protection of Indians.

他全身心投入到电报项目的最后关键阶段，并重新开始保护印第安人的工作。

Rohter: Roosevelt says to him, “You should go home to your family,” and Rondon says, “I’d like to, but I have this task I have to finish,” and so he just goes right back into the jungle.

罗特：罗斯福对他说，“你应该回家和家人团聚，”朗登说，“我很愿意，但我有这个任务必须完成，”所以他就直接回到了丛林。

After this grueling, grueling experience Rondon continues on his life’s work.

在经历了这段令人筋疲力尽的经历之后，隆登继续他一生的工作。

It’s remarkable.

这很了不起。

Narrator: Roosevelt quietly returned to New York, slipping off the boat at Oyster Bay near his home in Long Island.

旁白：罗斯福悄悄返回纽约，在长岛家附近的牡蛎湾乘船离开。

When reporters caught up to him, they were shocked by how he looked.

当记者追上他时，他们被他的样子震惊了。

The President was gaunt, he had lost more than fifty pounds in the Amazon, and, for the first time in his life, he was leaning on a cane.

总统面容憔悴，他在亚马逊丛林中减掉了五十多磅，而且这是他有生以来第一次拄着拐杖。

Despite his weakened condition, Roosevelt was in a fighting mood.

尽管罗斯福身体虚弱，但他仍处于战斗状态。

Many of the most distinguished members of the American and British geographical societies were challenging his claim that he had charted a major South American river.

美国和英国地理学会的许多最杰出的成员都对他绘制南美主要河流地图的说法提出质疑。

Some saw his trip as nothing more than a publicity stunt to launch another bid for the presidency.

一些人认为他的此行只不过是为了再次竞选总统而进行的宣传噱头。

Jenkinson: It just throws him into a kind of a Rooseveltian righteous rage.

詹金森：这只会让他陷入一种罗斯福式的正义愤怒之中。

To think, “I nearly died.

想一想：“我差点就死了。

This was an absolutely perilous mission, and to be doubted by people who have never been to South America.” So he goes to the National Geographic Society, and he proves to them that he did it.

这绝对是一次危险的任务，从未去过南美洲的人都会对此表示怀疑。”于是他去了国家地理学会，向他们证明他做到了。

Ornig: He had photographs, he even drew a map.

奥尼格：他有照片，甚至还画了一张地图。

Roosevelt talks about, “We spent 60 days, there was no way we could have got there except by the river in that time.

罗斯福谈到，“我们花了60天，当时除了通过河我们没有办法到达那里。

So, therefore, accept the fact that there’s a river of that length there that you’re not aware of.”

因此，请接受这样一个事实：那里有一条你不知道的那么长的河流。”

Narrator: Two weeks later, Roosevelt was redeemed before an audience at the prestigious Royal Geographical Society in London.

旁白：两周后，罗斯福在伦敦著名的皇家地理学会的观众面前得到了救赎。

Jenkinson: When he walks in, he gets this gigantic ovation, and he realizes they love me.

詹金森：当他走进来时，他得到了热烈的掌声，他意识到他们爱我。

I’m a hero.

我是英雄。

Then the National Geographic Society gives him a medal, and he says in his acceptance speech, “it needs to go to Rondon,” and so they strike a second one, which goes to Cândido Rondon because Roosevelt refuses to be the sole person to take credit for this extraordinary mission.

然后国家地理学会给了他一枚奖章，他在获奖感言中说，“它需要颁给隆登”，所以他们又颁发了第二枚奖章，颁给了坎迪多·隆登，因为罗斯福拒绝成为唯一一个因这一非凡使命而获得荣誉的人。

Narrator: Roosevelt had fulfilled his dream of becoming a famous explorer, his name etched forever on the map of South America.

旁白：罗斯福实现了成为著名探险家的梦想，他的名字永远铭刻在南美洲地图上。

But nature had exacted a heavy price.

但大自然却付出了沉重的代价。

Roosevelt’s sister Corrine would later say, “The Brazilian wilderness stole away ten years of his life.”

罗斯福的妹妹科琳后来说：“巴西的荒野夺走了他十年的生命。”

He never fully recovered his prior vigor, and was plagued by recurring malaria.

他从未完全恢复以前的活力，并受到反复发作的疟疾的困扰。

Theodore Roosevelt died on January 6th, 1919, just five years after the returning from the Amazon.

西奥多·罗斯福于 1919 年 1 月 6 日去世，距他从亚马逊返回仅五年后。

Kermit Roosevelt, who returned from the expedition to finally marry his great love Belle Willard, was devastated at the news of his father’s death.

克米特·罗斯福从探险归来，最终与他的挚爱贝拉·威拉德结婚，得知父亲去世的消息后，他悲痛欲绝。

“The bottom has dropped out of my life,” he wrote to his mother.

“我的生活已经跌入谷底，”他在给母亲的信中写道。

Without his beloved father, Kermit lost his mooring, and after battling alcoholism for most of his life, committed suicide in 1943.

失去了深爱的父亲，克米特失去了自己的依靠，在与酗酒作了大半生的斗争后，于 1943 年自杀了。

Cândido Rondon spent the rest of his life fighting for the rights of Brazil’s indigenous people and lived to be ninety-two years old.

坎迪多·隆东 (Cândido Rondon) 的余生都在为巴西原住民的权利而奋斗，最终活到九十二岁。

Today, the state of Rondonia bears his name.

今天，朗多尼亚州以他的名字命名。

Possuelo: Rondon is one of the biggest heroes of this country.

Possuelo：隆登是这个国家最伟大的英雄之一。

I say that heroes are the ones who give to humanity, who transform humanity for the better and leave examples of ethics, of justice, of work, those are the greatest heroes of life.

我说英雄是那些为人类做出贡献的人，那些让人类变得更好的人，并留下道德、正义、工作榜样的人，那些是生命中最伟大的英雄。

So that's how I see Rondon, as one of the greatest heroes of Brazil.

这就是我对隆东的看法，他是巴西最伟大的英雄之一。

Narrator: In life and in death, Roosevelt and Rondon both became heroes.

旁白：无论生前还是死后，罗斯福和朗登都成为英雄。

But the journey they shared down the river that now bears Roosevelt’s name has a legacy all of its own.
