參考譯文
波蘭科學(xué)家哈羅恩·塔捷耶夫花了畢生的精力來(lái)研究世界各地的活火山和深洞.1948年他去了剛果的基伍湖,對(duì)一座后來(lái)被他命名為基圖羅的新火山進(jìn)行觀察.當(dāng)火山正在猛烈地噴發(fā)時(shí),塔捷耶夫有辦法把帳篷搭在離它非常近的地方.盡管他設(shè)法拍了一些十分精彩的照片,但他卻不能在火山附近停留太長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間.他發(fā)現(xiàn)有一股巖漿正向他流過(guò)來(lái),眼看就要將他團(tuán)團(tuán)圍住,但塔捷耶夫還是設(shè)法及時(shí)逃離了.他等到火山平靜下來(lái),兩天以后又返回去.這次他設(shè)法爬進(jìn)了基圖羅火山口,以便能拍攝照片和測(cè)試溫度.塔捷耶夫經(jīng)常冒這樣的生命危險(xiǎn).他能告訴我們的有關(guān)活火山的情況比任何在世的人都要多.
