????加拿大演講者阿諾?凱諾能——造船工程師兼船舶技師——說(shuō)：“概括一下北冰洋開拓？它充滿挑戰(zhàn)，或許還很危險(xiǎn)，成本高昂，但可以完成。相當(dāng)長(zhǎng)時(shí)間內(nèi)我們都有得忙了?！?/p>

????我在外面走廊上遇上了兩位美國(guó)海岸警衛(wèi)隊(duì)的代表，問(wèn)他們海岸警衛(wèi)隊(duì)為開拓北冰洋做了何種準(zhǔn)備。

????年輕些的軍官看起來(lái)非常不滿。

????“珍妮特?納波利塔諾，”他說(shuō)的是自己的上司、國(guó)土安全部長(zhǎng)?！案揪筒魂P(guān)心北冰洋，我們只有一艘能用的破冰船?！?/p>

????站在他旁邊的是魯賓?謝因博格。他身材矮小，提著光頭，是海岸警衛(wèi)隊(duì)的造船工程師。他提醒年輕人注意措辭。

????然而謝因博格自己也說(shuō)：“其他所有國(guó)家都領(lǐng)先于我們?！?/p>

????Canadian speaker Arno Keinonen—a naval architect and marine engineer—said, "Bottom line in the Arctic? It is challenging. Potentially deadly. Costly. But it can be done. We are all going to be busy for a long time."

????I ran into two US Coast Guard representatives in the hallway outside and asked them what the Coast Guard was doing to prepare for the opening Arctic.

????The younger officer looked disgusted.

????"Janet Napolitano," he said of his boss, the secretary of homeland security, "doesn't give a shit about the Arctic. We only have one working icebreaker."

????Standing beside him, Rubin Sheinberg, a small, bald chief naval architect of the Coast Guard, cautioned the younger man to watch his language.

????Then Sheinberg said, "All the other countries are ahead."
