Gunnar and Balto waited at their stop in Bluff. They were going to run 31 miles from Bluff to Point Safety. That was the second-to-last part of the race. But the storm had slowed things down. Gunnar had been waiting for two days. He did not sleep. He wanted to be ready to go as soon as the medicine arrived.

Gunner和Balto在布拉夫等着他们从布拉夫到安全点需要跑31英里这是整场接力中的倒数第二段但是暴风雪让整体的速度变慢了 Gunnar在这里等了两天没有睡觉他想要在药品到达的时候就动身

At last Gunnar heard dogs barking. The medicine was here! He put it on the sled with a small stove and a little food. Then he hitched up his dogs. Balto stood proudly in the lead. Gunnar cracked his whip. “Mush!” he cried. That meant “go.” The team ran out into the snowy night.

最后Gunnar听到了犬吠声药品到了！他把药装上雪橇还带了一个小炉子和食品接着他栓上狗 Balto骄傲的站在领头 Gunnar甩动鞭子 “mush！（就是“驾”的意思）”他喊道雪橇队跑进了暴风雪中的夜

At first the team made good time. But soon snowdrifts blocked the trail. The dogs sank up to their necks in snow. They could not move. Some began to panic. But not Balto. He stayed calm. That helped the other dogs while Gunnar dug them out of the snow. At last the team was on its way again.

开始整个队伍进行得很顺利但是很快雪堆阻塞了道路雪漫过了狗狗们的脖子他们移动不了一些狗陷入了慌乱但是Balto没有他依然冷静在Gunnar挖雪的时候他让其他狗也平静下来最后他们又开始了他们的旅程

Then the team crossed a frozen river. The dogs and the sled slipped and skidded on the ice. Oh, no! Over went the sled. Gunnar got it up again. But the medicine was gone! Wildly Gunnar dug for the medicine. He could not see through the heavy snow. But at last he felt the package. He put it back on the sled.

接着队伍来到了冰封的河上狗狗和雪橇在冰上打滑了糟糕！雪橇翻了 Gunnar把雪橇摆正但是药品不见了！Gunnar疯狂地找药品在暴风雪中他看不清东西但是最后他摸到了包裹他重新把药品放在雪橇上

The team kept going across the river. Suddenly Balto stopped short. “Mush, Balto!” shouted Gunnar. But Balto did not move. Then Gunnar saw why. The ice was cracking! If the team fell into the river, they would all drown.

队伍接着渡河 Balto突然停了下来 “Balto 驾！”Gunnar说但是Balto还是没有动 Gunnar知道为什么了冰裂开了！如果雪橇队掉进了河水里他们都会淹死的

Balto had stopped just in time. “Smart dog!” Gunnar told him. Then he saw that Balto’s feet were wet. If they froze, Balto would never walk again. Quickly Gunner unhitched Balto from the sled. He led the dog to a patch of powdery snow. Gunnar rubbed Balto’s paws in the powder. Soon they were dry. Balto was ready to go once more.

Balto停下的正是时候 “聪明的狗狗！”Gunnar夸奖他接着他看到Balto的爪子全湿了如果爪子结冰了 Balto就不能动了 Gunnar赶紧把他从雪橇上解开牵着狗来到了一堆蓬松的雪上 Gunnar抓着Balto的爪子在雪上摩擦很快他的爪子就干了 Balto再一次整装待发

Balto led the team around the cracking ice. At last they reached solid land again. Were they still on the trail? Gunner had no idea. The snow blew so hard, Gunnar could not see his own hands. But Balto had run this trail many times before. Now it was all up to him.

Blato领着队伍绕过了裂开的冰最后他们又一次回到了土地上他们还在原路上吗？Gunnar不知道雪下得太大 Gunnar连自己的手都看不清但是Balto在这条路上跑过太多次了现在全都靠他了

Finally the storm died down. Gunnar saw Point Safety just ahead. “Balto did it!” thought Gunnar. He couldn’t wait to warm his hands by a cozy fire. But all the lights were out at Point Safety. Was the next driver there? Gunnar did not know. And there was no time to find out. So Gunnar and Balto did not stop. They had never been so tired. But they raced on through the night toward Nome.

最后风雪停了 Gunnar看见安全点就在眼前 “Balto做到了！”Gunnar想到他等不及要坐在温暖的炉火前烤烤手但是在安全点所有的灯都灭了下一个雪橇手去哪了？Gunnar不知道而且也没有时间了于是Gunnar和Balto没有停下他们已经非常累了但是他们依然继续朝着诺姆镇前行驶入了黑夜

It was just before dawn. The sky began to glow. In the town of Nome everyone was sleeping. Gunnar and his team pulled into town. They had made it! Balto was too tired to bark. They had been on the trail for 20 hours straight. They had driven 53 miles!

黎明前天空开始变白诺姆镇所有人都在睡觉 Gunnar和他的雪橇队进入了小镇他们做到了！Balto累得叫不动了他们连续跑了20个小时 53英里！

Gunnar took the medicine to the doctor. The doctor was surprised. He thought it would take 15 days to get the medicine. But Gunnar delivered it after only five and a half days! “Thank you, Gunnar!” said the doctor. “You are a hero!” “Balto is the hero,” said Gunnar. “I could not have done it without him.”

Gunnar把药交到医生手上医生非常惊讶他以为需要15天才能拿到药但是只过去了5天半 Gunnar就把药送到了他的手上！“谢谢你Gunnar！”医生说“你是个英雄！”“Balto才是英雄”Gunnar说“没有他我也做不到”

The doctor went right to work. He gave the medicine to all the sick people. In a few days they would be well. The town of Nome was saved. All over America people cheered for Balto. They read about his bravery in the newspaper. Balto was the most famous dog in the world.

医生立刻进入了工作他把药给了所有生病的人只需要几天他们就会好起来诺姆小镇得救了全美国的人都为Balto欢呼他们在报纸上看到了关于他们勇敢事迹的报道 Balto成了全世界最出名的狗狗

A year later the people of New York City put up a statue of Blato. It still stands in Central Park. Lots of children play on the statue. They remember Balto, the bravest dog ever!

一年后纽约的居民为树起了Balto的雕像现在这尊雕塑依然屹立在中央花园里很多小朋友在雕塑上玩耍他们都记得Balto这只最勇敢的狗！
