| [00:18.440] | One of the most famous sailing ships of the nineteenth century, the Cutty Sark, can still be seen at Greenwich. |
| [00:26.440] | She stands on dry land and is visited by thousands of people each year. |
| [00:32.360] | She serves as an impressive reminder of the great ships of the past. |
| [00:38.600] | Before they were replaced by steamships, sailing vessels like the Cutty Sark were used to carry tea from China and wool from Australia. |
| [00:49.200] | The Cutty Sark was one of the fastest sailing ships that has ever been built.^“ |
| [00:54.600] | The only other ship to match her was the Thermopylae. |
| [00:58.680] | Both these ships set out from Shanghai on June 18th, 1872 on an exciting race to England. |
| [01:07.040] | This race, which went on for exactly four months, was the last of its kind. |
| [01:13.000] | It marked the end of the great tradition of ships with sails and the beginning of a new era. |
| [01:20.240] | The first of the two ships to reach Java after the race had begun was the Thermopylae, but on the Indian Ocean, the Cutty Sark took the lead. |
| [01:30.280] | It seemed certain that she would be the first ship home, but during the race she had a lot of bad luck. |
| [01:37.720] | In August, she was struck by a very heavy storm during which her rudder was torn away. |
| [01:44.000] | The Cutty Sark rolled from side to side and it became impossible to steer her. |
| [01:50.040] | A temporary rudder was made on board from spare planks and it was fitted with great difficulty. |
| [01:56.480] | This greatly reduced the speed of the ship, |
| [01:59.280] | for there was a danger that if she travelled too quickly, this rudder would be torn away as well. |
| [02:05.920] | Because of this, the Cutty Sark lost her lead. |
| [02:10.040] | After crossing the Equator, the captain called in at a port to have a new rudder fitted, |
| [02:15.720] | but by now the Thermopylae was over five hundred miles ahead |
| [02:20.560] | Though the new rudder was fitted at tremendous speed, it was impossible for the Cutty Sark to win. |
| [02:26.800] | She arrived in England a week after the Thermopylae. |
| [02:30.920] | Even this was remarkable, considering that she had had so many delays. |
| [02:36.560] | There is no doubt that if she had not lost her rudder she would have won the race easily. |

| [00:01.040] | 卡蒂萨克”号帆船 |
| [00:05.400] | ^听录音，然后回答以下问题。 |
| [00:10.800] | |
| [00:18.440] | ^人们在格林威治仍可看到19世纪最有名的帆船之一“卡蒂萨克”号。 |
| [00:26.440] | ^它停在陆地上，每年接待成千上万的参观者。 |
| [00:32.360] | ^它给人们留下深刻的印象，使人们回忆起历史上的巨型帆船， |
| [00:38.600] | ^在蒸汽船取代帆船之前。“卡蒂萨克”号之类的帆船被用来从中国运回茶叶，从澳大利亚运回羊毛。 |
| [00:49.200] | 卡蒂萨克”号是帆船制造史上建造的最快的一艘帆船。 |
| [00:54.600] | ^唯一可以与之一比高低的是“塞姆皮雷”号帆船。 |
| [00:58.680] | ^两船于1872年6月18日同时从上海启航驶往英国，途中展开了一场激烈的比赛。 |
| [01:07.040] | ^这场比赛持续了整整4个月，是这类比赛中的最后一次， |
| [01:13.000] | ^它标志着帆船伟大传统的结束与一个新纪元的开始。 |
| [01:20.240] | ^比赛开始后，“赛姆皮雷”号率先抵达爪哇岛。但在印度洋上，“卡萨萨克”号驶到了前面。 |
| [01:30.280] | ^看来，它首先返抵英国是确信无疑的了，但它却在比赛中连遭厄运。 |
| [01:37.720] | 8月份“卡蒂萨克”号遭到一场特大风暴的袭击，失去了一只舵。 |
| [01:44.000] | ^船身左右摇晃，无法操纵。 |
| [01:50.040] | ^船员用备用的木板在船上赶制了一只应急用的舵，并克服重重困难将舵安装就位， |
| [01:56.480] | ^这样一来，大大降低了船的航速。 |
| [01:59.280] | ^因为船不能开得太快，否则就有危险，应急舵也会被刮走。 |
| [02:05.920] | ^因为这个缘故，“卡蒂萨克”号落到了后面。 |
| [02:10.040] | ^跨越赤道后，船长将船停靠在一个港口，在那儿换了一只舵。 |
| [02:15.720] | ^但此时，“赛姆皮雷”号早已在500多英里之遥了。 |
| [02:20.560] | ^尽管换装新舵时分秒必争，但“卡蒂萨克”号已经不可能取胜了， |
| [02:26.800] | ^它抵达英国时比“塞姆皮雷”号晚了1个星期。 |
| [02:30.920] | ^但考虑到路上的多次耽搁， |
| [02:36.560] | ^这个成绩也已很不容易了。毫无疑问，如果中途没有失去舵， “卡帝萨克”号肯定能在比赛中轻易夺冠。 |
