库茨

I get a last blast of Yakutsk air at the airport, where we have to walk to the plane and are then forced to wait for 10 minutes on the tarmac before we are allowed to board.

在机场，我们必须步行走向飞机，并在停机坪上呆上10分钟才能登机，我最后感受了雅库茨克的空气。

Remarkably, a study carried out by British and Russian doctors in the late 1990s found that, while in Britain the number of people reporting illnesses goes up during the winter months, in Yakutsk it doesn't.

值得一提的是，一项由英国和俄国医生于90年代后期进行的研究发现，在冬天的月份里英国病患人数上升了，而雅库茨克却没有这种情况。

If the Soviet Union had worked according to the market (rather than grand ideologies, they say) cities such as Yakutsk would never have appeared.

如果苏联能够根据市场而不是宏大的意识形态来运作，像雅库茨克这样的城市永远没有建立的可能。

In time, Yakutsk was transformed into a real city with hotels, cinemas, an opera house, universities, a pizza delivery service, and even a zoo.

随着时间推移，雅库茨克已经变成了一个真正的城市，有酒店、电影院、歌剧院、大学和披萨外送的服务，甚至还有了一个动物园。

The region was first conquered by the Russians in the 1630s, and Yakutsk was set up as a small administrative centre.

俄国人于1630年征服了这个地区，并在雅库茨克建立了小小的行政中心。

So, before venturing outdoors in Yakutsk for the first time, I have decided to don a suitcase's worth of clothes to protect me against the cold.

所以，在雅库茨克初次出门探险之前，我决定穿上整箱的衣服以御寒。

In Yakutsk itself, most of the cars are second-hand Japanese imports; apparently, they handle the cold better than Ladas and other traditional Russian vehicles.

在雅库茨克本地，大多数汽车是从日本进口的二手车。很明显，这些日本汽车比拉达和其它传统的俄国汽车更耐寒。

Yakutsk is a remote city in Eastern Siberia (population 200,000) famous for two things: appearing in the classic board game Risk, and the fact that it can, convincingly, claim to be the coldest city on earth.

雅库茨克是位于遥远东西伯利亚的城市，有二十万人口，以传统的探险游戏和可以使人信服地声称是地球上最冷的城市而著称。

The Russian Federal Highway connects Moscow to Yakutsk, where the coldest temperature ever recorded outside Antarctica was recorded.

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
