I'm on a raft off the coast of Alaska,keeping watch for a boat to pick me up.

It's noticeably colder here.

The current is taking me towards a lot of this ice,these sort of things,
水流正把我引往那些多冰水域 就像这种
which isn't ideal. I don't want to get messed up in that.But, you know, it's not sea ice.
这可不好 我可不想被困在冰中间 但那些并不是海水结成的冰
Summertime, that's come from maritime glacier.
而是夏天时从海洋性冰川滑落下来的
Now all I want to be heading on is to stick out in the open, open sea.

Other vessels are unlikely to brave these waters,where they risk being hulled by an iceberg.
其他船只不可能冒险来这里 在这里很有可能被冰川撞破
There's a better chance of being spotted out in open water.But I'm fighting a losing battle.
在无冰海面被发现的几率会高很多 但是我们的情况越来越窘迫了
There's more and more ice in the water now.I must be getting close to its source.
水里的浮冰越来越多 我应该是正驶向这些冰的来源
Ahead of the field, see that glacier?This time of year, there's big chunks of ice just carving off that.
看这片海的那头 看到那些冰川了吗 每年的这个时候 大块的冰 会从那里的冰川上滑落
I don't like being funneled backwards towards one of them.
我可不想又漂回去了
Maritime glaciers are dangerous,with carving icebergs that could cause huge waves.
海洋性冰川很危险 从冰川上断落的冰块能激起大浪
You don't want to hang around here.

The best option -- to get out to the shipping lanes and find a vessel.
最佳的选择是 驶入正常航道 然后找寻船只
There's a boat through the ice to the right.
那里有条船正像右边驶去
See the top of the mast.Look at the ice to the right.
看见船桅的顶端了 往右边那块冰看
There's a fishing trawler about a mile away.
那边一英里外有条渔船
Too far to see us.We need to make our way to that ice flow,
太远了 看不到我们 我们得想办法到那块浮冰那儿去
bigger one. Try and make a bit of a signal fire there.And get spotted like that.
大的那块 然后试着生一团信号火 这样就能被发现了
My plan -- get to the iceberg quickly and signal from there.It's about the biggest one around here.
我的计划是 迅速到浮冰上 然后从那里发信号 这大概是附近最大的浮冰了
