迫近好望角

Arrived at the Cape of Good Hope

两年前,作为航海者,我绕到了非洲的南端——好望角。 那是个晴朗之日,在驾驶室几乎看不到既虚无又实际存在的水天线。我提前用高倍望远镜扫视着平静而蔚蓝的海面,只有成群的海鸥像飘飞的树叶,聚散在眼前几乎永恒不变的蓝色世界。1487年8月,葡萄牙航海家迪亚士奉国王若奥二世之命,率两艘轻快帆船和一艘运输船从里斯本出发,踏上远征的航路。

Once I had a dream,that is,sailing to the Cape of Good Hope,the southern extremity of Africa.Then one day,the dream come true.I reached it and was deeply impressed by its beautiful and magnificent scenery.
