你覺得自己生活的地方冷嗎？去奧伊米亞康走一遭可能就會改變你的想法。

The coldest inhabited place on Earth is a small village in the Siberian tundra called Oymyakon where temperatures have been recorded as low as -90 degrees Fahrenheit.
坐落于西伯利亞凍土地帶的一個小村莊，奧伊米亞康，是世界上最冷的居住區(qū)，據(jù)記錄那兒的氣溫可低至零下90華氏度（零下67.78攝氏度）。

Average winter temperatures hang around -58 degrees Fahrenheit in Oymyakon and only about 500 people brave the cold to call the town home.
冬天，奧伊米亞康的平均溫度為零下58華氏度（零下50攝氏度），只有大約500人生活在那個寒冷的小鎮(zhèn)上。

Photographer Amos Chapple, of New Zealand, took a two day trip to the Russian village and quickly learned just how painful the plunging temperatures can be.

'I was wearing thin trousers when I first stepped outside into ?47 degrees Celsius (?52 degrees Fahrenheit). I remember feeling like the cold was physically gripping my legs.'

He hoped to document the residents in the small town's lives as they avoided frostbite and blistering cold.
他希望記錄下這個小鎮(zhèn)上的居民避免凍傷、抵抗嚴寒的生活。

He noted that residents live off a diet of primarily meat due to the fact produce are unable to survive in the freezing temperatures.
他注意到這里的居民主要食用肉類，因為在極冷的溫度下，農(nóng)產(chǎn)品根本就無法存活。

Because the ground is always frozen, there is little indoor plumbing and most bathrooms are outhouses and cell phones and car engines are constantly in peril of freezing over.
由于地面一直結(jié)著冰，室內(nèi)幾乎都沒有水暖設(shè)備，大多數(shù)浴室都在外屋。手機和汽車發(fā)動機經(jīng)常有被凍結(jié)的危險。

If cars aren't left running outside, they must be kept in a heated garage to prevent damage and people will walk but try and get out of the cold as quickly as possible.
如果不在外面開車的話，就得把車停放在一個加熱過的車庫里，以防車被凍壞。生活在那里的人們也會散步，但他們會盡快擺脫寒冷。

Chapple said he traveled to Oymyakon to find an uplifting story but said the cold created some new challenges in his photography. His lens would freeze over and became impossible to focus.
察柏爾說，他去奧伊米亞康是為了收獲一個催人奮進的故事，但是，嚴寒為他的攝影帶來了新的挑戰(zhàn)。他的鏡頭會被凍住，然后就沒法調(diào)節(jié)焦距了。
