Winter brings extensive snowfalls in the Southern Alps.//

冬季到来时，南阿尔卑斯山脉为大雪所覆盖。

The quake was felt far afield, including in the Southern Alps, where great chunks of a glacier fell.

震动波及到很远的地方，南阿尔卑斯山上大块的冰川也因之而塌落。

The South Island has now had its share of horror stories: in November an explosion at a coal mine at Pike River, across the Southern Alps from Christchurch, killed 29 men.

现在，南岛陷入译恐怖“怪圈”：11月，在派克河附近的一座矿井发生爆炸，从南阿尔卑斯山至克莱斯特彻，共计29人死亡。

Paradise Motorcycle Tours NZ offer self-guided and guided tours, such as this 14-day trip taking in the Southern Alps, glaciers, Milford Sound and 'motorcycle heaven' Haast Pass.

新西兰Paradise Motorcycle 旅行社备有自助和带导游的路线，如14天的游程含南阿尔卑斯，冰川，悠游海湾和被称为“摩托天堂”的哈斯特关。

In fact, there was a double whammy of bad news from down under, thanks to a tourist-laden light plane crash across the Southern Alps from Christchurch on the same day the quake struck.

事实上，南半球遭受了负面消息的双重打击：地震当天，一架飞离克赖斯特彻奇的旅游轻型飞机在阿尔卑斯山南部坠毁。
