Forty miles north-west of Alaska’s capital(首府), the highway(公路) just ends.
在阿拉斯加首府西北方向四十英里处,公路戛然而止。
At Glacier Highway’s most northern point, the pavement turns to gravel, the gravel widens into a turnaround and the tire tracks curve back the way they came.(在冰川公路最北端,柏油路变成碎石路,碎石路拓宽成掉头区,轮胎印沿来路弯回。) At the far end, the woods begin, a narrow hiking trail slipping(蜿蜒延伸) toward the southern end of Berners Bay.
在冰川公路的最北端,柏油路面变成碎石路,碎石路拓宽成一片掉头区,轮胎印沿着来路弯折回去。在尽头,森林开始,一条狭窄的徒步小径蜿蜒伸向伯纳斯湾的南端。
Locals call this stretch(路段) “out the road(路那头)”. It is the only road that reaches Juneau, population 35,000, and that means virtually everything arriving in Alaska’s capital comes by water or air.(这是唯一通往朱诺的公路,人口3.5万,这意味着几乎所有抵达首府的东西都靠水路或空运。)
当地人把这一段叫作“路那头”。这是唯一一条通往朱诺(人口3.5万)的公路,这意味着几乎所有抵达阿拉斯加首府的东西都靠水路或空运。
