“我現(xiàn)在感覺(jué)棒極了。”
Captain Preet, who is a trained physiotherapist working for the British Army, has successfully trekked 1,126 kilometres in 40 days, 7 hours and 3 minutes – thus making her the third-fastest woman to trek across Antarctica.

The reason Antarctica was because I didn't know much about it, you know, and I thought, if I could do something that pushes me so far out of my comfort zone, hopefully it'll inspire other people to do the same.

Today was tough. Another whiteout. [I'm] feeling pretty tired.
今天很不容易。又出現(xiàn)了乳白天空的現(xiàn)象。我累壞了。
As a part of her gruelling expedition, Preet endured temperatures as low as minus 50 degree Celsius, and wind speeds of up to 96 kilometres per hour, and walked around 27 kilometres a day, pulling a 90-kilogram sled containing her kit.
作為她艱難探險(xiǎn)的一部分，普麗特承受了低至零下50攝氏度的溫度和高達(dá)每小時(shí)96公里的風(fēng)速，每天步行約27公里，還拖著重達(dá)90公斤的雪橇，上面載著她的裝備。

It was generally windy, there were only, like, two days that I can remember when there was, like, minimal wind. I had to melt snow to make my water. In the evening I was having freeze-dried meals, which to be honest were really tasty. And, I did miss fresh food obviously by the end. And during the day I was having like a mixture of things like nuts and chocolate, and cheese and salamis. You know, I'm burning a lot of calories, and I was eating about 5,000 calories a day. Even then, you know, I lost 10 kilos by the end of the expedition. There were times where it was so hard, and I just thought 'this is the toughest thing I've ever done, like, how am I going to keep going?' And I would just break it down and I'd take one step at a time, but I never thought, 'I'm going to give up'.

“總是在刮風(fēng)，我記憶中只有兩天沒(méi)怎么刮風(fēng)。我必須通過(guò)融雪才能得到水。晚上我吃?xún)龈傻娘埐?，說(shuō)實(shí)話味道還真不錯(cuò)。不過(guò)到最后，我確實(shí)很想念新鮮食物。白天，我吃的東西種類(lèi)繁多，比如堅(jiān)果、巧克力、奶酪和薩拉米香腸。你知道的，我在消耗很多卡路里，我一天要吃5000卡路里左右的東西。但盡管如此，我完成探險(xiǎn)時(shí)還是瘦了10公斤。有些時(shí)候，路上特別辛苦，我就想：這是我做過(guò)的最艱難的事情了，我該怎樣繼續(xù)下去？我會(huì)一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)、一步步來(lái)，但我從沒(méi)想過(guò) ‘我要放棄’?！?/p>
Preet spent two years planning and training for this adventure, which included her dragging tyres around for up to five hours a day, as well as a 27-day trip to Greenland to help her become accustomed to the extreme weather conditions.
普麗特花了兩年時(shí)間為這次冒險(xiǎn)作準(zhǔn)備和訓(xùn)練，包括每天拖拽輪胎長(zhǎng)達(dá)五個(gè)小時(shí)，還完成了一次為期27天的格陵蘭島之旅，以幫助她適應(yīng)極端的天氣條件。
Preet also faced a lot of reservations from relatives and her community, as not many South Asians take part in outdoor activities or go on expeditions.
當(dāng)時(shí)，普麗特還面臨來(lái)自親戚和社區(qū)的疑慮，因?yàn)閰⒓討敉饣顒?dòng)或探險(xiǎn)的南亞人為數(shù)不多。
Despite all the hardships and challenges, Preet says that there's no stopping, and has started training for her next adventure.
盡管經(jīng)歷了重重困難和考驗(yàn)，普麗特說(shuō)自己并不會(huì)停下腳步，而且已經(jīng)展開(kāi)了下一次冒險(xiǎn)的訓(xùn)練。
