Still, Bjarni pressed onward, uninterested in  exploring new terrain.

Bjarni 仍然继续前进，对探索新领域不感兴趣。

When he arrived in Iceland, Bjarni discovered that his father had joined Erik  the Red's expedition to Greenland.

当他到达冰岛时，Bjarni 发现他的父亲已经加入了 Erik the Red 的格陵兰探险队。

Finally, Bjarni anchored his ship, and soon he was reunited  with his family.

最后，Bjarni 抛下了他的船，很快他就与家人团聚了。

Purchasing the very same ship Bjarni  sailed, Leif asked his father, the illustrious Erik the Red, to lead the expedition.

购买了 Bjarni 驾驶的同一艘船，Leif 请他的父亲，著名的红发埃里克 (Erik the Red) 领导这次探险。

About 15 years after Bjarni spotted the Americas, Leif Erikson retraced Bjarni's fateful journey to the West.

在 Bjarni 发现美洲大约 15 年后，Leif Erikson 追溯了 Bjarni 决定性的西方之旅。

Crashing waves and gale-force winds pushed and pulled on Bjarni's sails, forcing his ship to travel miles in the wrong direction.

汹涌的海浪和狂风推拉着 Bjarni 的帆，迫使他的船向错误的方向行驶数英里。

Suddenly, news  of Bjarni's discoveries buzzed about the colonies, inciting interest from several explorers, including Erik the Red's oldest son, Leif Erikson.

突然间，Bjarni 发现的消息传遍了殖民地，引起了几位探险家的兴趣，其中包括 Erik the Red 的长子 Leif Erikson。

Around 986 A.D., Bjarni Herjolfsson, a Norse-Icelandic merchant,   was traveling on a trading ship from Norway to Iceland to visit his father, like he did  every winter.

大约在公元 986 年，挪威-冰岛商人 Bjarni Herjolfsson 像每年冬天一样，乘坐商船从挪威前往冰岛探望他的父亲。

Though Bjarni Herjolfsoon is rarely mentioned in any history books, he is  believed to be the first European explorer to see the Americas, even if he never set foot on land.

尽管 Bjarni Herjolfsoon 在任何历史书籍中都很少被提及，但他被认为是第一个看到美洲的欧洲探险家，即使他从未踏上过陆地。

Continuing further south, Leif and his crew arrived at a beautiful  region similar to the one Bjarni had seen from his ship — a land of abundance with fields  of grasses growing in a warm sunny climate.

继续向南行驶，Leif 和他的船员们到达了一个美丽的地区，与 Bjarni 在他的船上看到的地区相似——一片富饶的土地，在温暖的阳光明媚的气候下生长着草地。
