We have just passed a fragment of some one of the surrounding icebergs 1 that had amused us. 周围新奇无比的冰山群让人目不暇接，我们刚路过一处由冰山一角坍塌崩裂生成的冰原断层。
It bore the resemblance of a huge polar bear, 那块冰山像只巨大的极地熊，
reposing 2 upon the base of an inverted 3 cone 4, with a twist of a seashell, and whirling slowly round and round. 趴在倒立的圆锥体底部，贝壳般不停地扭动躯体缓慢旋转；
The ever-attending green water, with its aerial clearness, enabled us to see its spiral folds and horns as they hung suspended in the deep. 不断涌出的绿色海水映照空中的晶莹剔透，螺旋褶皱的冰块棱角分明，悬浮于深海当中，清晰可触。
The bear, a ten-foot mass in tolerable proportion, seemed to be regularly beset 5 by a pack of hungry little swells 7. 那头极地熊状的冰山，高约十英尺的庞然大物，似乎在饥不可耐的一轮轮海浪嗜咬扑打中，早已习惯安然。
First, one would take him on the haunch, then whip back into the sea over his tail and between his legs. 一个浪扑卷它的腰臀，急遽反弹回去，急扫过它的尾部与双腿。
Presently a bolder swell 6 would rise and pitch into his back with a ferocity that threatened instant destruction. 转眼间，一道更为肆虐的大浪高高扬起，凶猛地扑打冰山后背，岌岌可危的崩塌就在眼前，
It only washed his satin fleece the whiter. 极地熊宛如白色缎子般皮毛愈加亮丽。
While Bruin was turning to look the daring assailant in the face, the rogue 8 had pitched himself back into his cave. 正当布来恩转身目睹这惊心动魄的一幕，一只孤兽急急地钻进它的洞穴。
No sooner that, than a very bulldog of a billow would attack him in the face. 说时迟，那时快，一头彪悍的牛头犬翻滚着向他迎面扑来，
The serenity 9 with which the impertinent assault was borne was complete. 一道声响打破了极地的宁静安谧，
It was but a puff 10 of silvery dust, powdering his mane with fresher brightness. 刹那间，只见一条白色尘埃铺散冲来，牛头犬的蓬松鬃毛银光闪亮，
Nothing would be left of bull but a little froth of all the foam 11 displayed in the fierce onset 12. 搅起漫天飞泻流动的呼啸雪沫，预示一场凶猛的攻击转瞬即至，
He too would turn and scud 13 into his hiding place. 布来恩转身拔腿飞奔，躲进了藏身地。
