爲躲避氣旋 雪龍號科考船駛入南大洋浮冰區

China's research icebreaker Xuelong has entered a floating ice area in the Southern Ocean to avoid a cyclone.

爲躲避氣旋，中國科考破冰船“雪龍”號進入了南大洋浮冰區。

The ice area is located at 61.55 degrees south latitude and 110.37 east longitude.

該浮冰區位於南緯61度55分、東經110度37分。

Xuelong traveled between sheets of floating ice, with crushing noise heard when the bottom of the ship hit the ice.

“雪龍”號穿行在一片片浮冰之間，當船底撞到冰面上時，發出了破碎的聲音。

The ship has lowered its speed from 15 knots to 9 knots to relieve tremors.

爲減輕船體的震動，船速由每小時15海里降至每小時9海里。

The icebreaker is now sailing along the edge of the ice field in order to avoid a cyclone, said First Mate Zhu Li, adding that although the floating ice will reduce the ship speed, it will also be able to alleviate threats posed by a strong weather system to navigating safety.

大副朱利表示，該破冰船正沿着浮冰區的邊緣行進，以躲避一個氣旋。他還補充說，雖然浮冰會減慢船舶行進速度，但也能夠減少強天氣系統對航行安全帶來的威脅。

Xuelong will sail out of the floating ice area and into the wide Southern Ocean under favorable weather conditions, and is scheduled to reach the Zhongshan Station in Antarctica on November 30.

在有利的天氣條件下，“雪龍”號將駛出浮冰區，進入開闊的南大洋海域，並預計於11月30日左右抵達南極中山站。

The icebreaker carried a research team set sail from Shanghai on November 2, beginning the country's 35th Antarctic expedition which will last 162 days and cover 37,000 nautical miles.

這艘搭載一個研究小組的破冰船於11月2日從上海啓航，開啓了我國第35次南極科考。此次考察將持續162天，總航程約3.7萬海里。
