I'm thinking of how Heyerdahl wouldn't go hunting with his dad, for example.

比如Heyerdahl不愿意和他爸爸一起去打猎。

Mm. And after that, Heyerdahl went to Easter Island, didn't he?

在那之后，Heyerdahl又去了复活节岛，对吗？

In 1947 the Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl set sail from Peru on a balsa wood raft called Kon-Tiki.

1947年，挪威探险家托尔·海尔达尔乘坐“康提基号”轻木筏从秘鲁启航。

You will hear two anthropology students called Victor and Olivia discussing their joint presentation about an original explorer called Thor Heyerdahl.

你将会听到两个分别叫做Victor和Olivia的人类学系学生讨论他们的联合演讲，演讲内容是关于一个叫做Thor Heyerdahl的原始探险家的。

And it certainly doesn't support Heyerdahl's controversial theory that Polynesian culture derives from settlers from South America.

当然，这项研究也不支持海尔达尔具有争议的理论，即波利尼西亚文化起源于南美移民。

But Fru Heyerdahl would not hear of taking it as a gift.

但是海尔达尔夫人不会听说把它当作礼物。

Yes, or sailing on rafts, as was shown by the long voyage that Heyerdahl did next.

对，或者用木筏航行，就像Heyerdahl接下来做的一次远途航行展示的那样。

But Fru Heyerdahl must have grown suspicious at last.

但 Fru Heyerdahl 一定是终于起疑了。

Yes, but Heyerdahl spent ages studying the cloud movements, ocean currents and wind patterns to find if it was actually possible.

没错，不过Heyerdahl花了好多年的时间研究云层运动、洋流和风的模式来探究这种理论究竟可不可行。

All right, Victor, so after your part I'll talk about Thor Heyerdahl's adult life, continuing from the theory he had about Polynesian migration.

好的，Victor，你演讲完之后，我就从Thor Heyerdahl关于波利尼西亚移民的理论继续，讲一讲他的成年人生活。

But then Fru Heyerdahl had begun to be even more careful about her, and when the Christmas festivities began, she was strict.

但后来海尔达尔夫人开始对她更加小心， 当圣诞节庆祝活动开始时， 她变得更加严格。

An important part of your talk should be the radical theory Heyerdahl formed from examining mysterious ancient carvings that he happened to find on the island. I think you should finish with that.

你的演讲中应该包括的一个重要部分，就是Heyerdahl通过研究他无意中在荒岛上发现的神秘的古代石雕而形成的激进理论。我觉得你应该把这部分内容完成。

Axel, at any rate, was so touched that he felt he must do something, give Fru Heyerdahl something or other, whatever he could find—a piece of meat perhaps, now autumn was come.

无论如何，阿克塞尔非常感动， 他觉得自己必须做点什么， 给弗鲁·海尔达尔一些东西， 不管他能找到什么——也许是一块肉， 现在秋天来了。

And another argument was that there was no tradition of large ship-building in the communities lying to the east of Polynesia. But Heyerdahl knew they made lots of coastal voyages in locally built canoes.

另外一个争议就是，当时的学术界认为生活在波利尼西亚东部的部落没有大规模造船的惯例。但是Heyerdahl知道那些部落的人使用当地建造的独木舟进行过很多次沿海航行。

Oh, but the justice was not of a mind to go against Fru Heyerdahl, not in the least—he was as humane as could be himself, a man as gentle as a priest.

哦，但是法官并不想反对 Fru Heyerdahl，一点也没有——他尽可能地仁慈，一个像牧师一样温和的人。
