Failure: the Endurance became stuck in the ice, crushed and sank, which made a failure.
Success: Inspired by Shackleton, the crew didn't give up and survived, which was a great success.

…好吧,碰巧有一天早上我买了份报纸,看了一则关于南极探险队的广告。同伟大的欧内斯特沙克尔顿爵士去南极探险——这是我梦寐以求的冒险。我已经准备好了。19岁的时候,我身体健康而且精力充沛。然而,当我申请加入探险队时,沙克尔顿拒绝了我,因为他认为我太年轻,不合格。但我对与他们同行的想法非常感兴趣,于是我偷偷地上了“坚忍”号轮船,在一个小橱里。不幸的是,我们出发三天后,我被发现了。沙克尔顿不想回头,所以他给我提供了一份工作,但他保证,“如果有人要被吃掉,那你就是第一个!”他让我当一名伙计,我现在做28个人一天三顿的饭菜。
当我回来告诉他们我去过的神奇的地方时,大家该会多么羨慕我啊!

这段路程并不轻松。正当我们接近南极时,“坚忍”号被海土的浮冰卡住了。周围的冰都冻结了,我们千真万确地被困住了!我们看到船被冰挤坏了。当船沉没时,我们的心也随之沉没。
在我们弃船之前,沙克尔顿镇静地把我们召集在一起,告诉我们要抢出我们最基本的给养——小船、食物、炉子、蜡烛、衣服和毯子。现在不是恐慌的时候。我们不准带走大部分私人物品,沙克尔顿自己也扔掉了所有的金子。但令我们感到惊讶的是,他让赫西留着他的班卓琴。赫西经常弹班卓琴来保持我们的精神振奋。
我们现在在冰上扎营,我们一直在设法生存,但春天来了,冰很快就会开始融化。

When he thought about the living conditions on the island
How did Blackborow’s feelings change
我们已经苦苦挣扎了好几天,但是大象岛上的情况越来越糟。我们现在挤在一条船上,在这个悲惨的地方的岩石海岸上。我们到达后不久,沙克尔顿就离开我们,去1320公里外的南乔治亚求援,这趟航程太危险和困难了我们所有人都无法乘小船上路。如果沙克尔顿失败,我们是否有营救的希望吗 不,世界上没有任何海军在大象岛停留过,也没有人知道我们在这里。
我感到情绪低落。寒冷多风,岛上没有植物。有时我们能抓住海豹或企鹅来吃。否则,就没有食物了。我尝试着想一些更快乐的事情:体面的食物暖和的衣服、舒适的卧室、阳光明媚的日子以及妈妈的脸…然而,这些美好的回忆很快就被突如其来的冷风打断了。
angry, impatient

regretful, grateful
trying to be optimistic
trying to cheer up
我大喊:“关上门!”“要坚持住啊,珀西。你可不要变成另一个汤姆。”传来一声回答,“我们又抓了一只企鹅,所以今晚是企鹅汤!”
保佑弗兰克 怀尔德,我们的领袖欧内斯特 沙克尔顿之外最善良的人。我怎么能变得像托马斯 奥德 里斯一样自私又脾气暴躁!
如果没有弗兰克和欧内斯特,我们现在都已经死了。他们对他人的真诚关心,他们的毅力和决心使我充满希望。
毕竟,我们内部也许还是有机会回家的。
