地球上最冷的村子在哪里?南极?北极?No, No, No!小编告诉你,在遥远的西伯利亚,离北极圈只有几百公里的地方,有一个偏远小镇叫做奥伊米亚康 (Oymyakon)。那儿的平均气温零下50 度,史上最低温还到过零下70度,伟大的战斗民族就在那里居住。什么?你不知道战斗民族是什么人……问度娘!
Located in the heart of Siberia, the village of Oymyakon in Russia is widely considered to be the coldest inhabited place on Earth. The average temperature for January in the village is -50°C and the coldest temperature ever recorded there was -71.2°C. Oymyakon has a population of approximately 500 people.

马上学:
想形容“特别冷”,英文可以用nippy(寒冷的)、biting(刺骨的)、arctic(严寒的)来表示。如果是“冻僵了”,可以说:be chilled to the bone/marrow,例如:Let's go home, I'm chilled to the bone. (咱们回家吧,我快冻僵了。)
每到冬天,村民们就得抓紧吃饭干活、读书看报,因为白天只有3小时(小编表示想去那里上班……);车子开出去别熄火,一熄火就再也打不着了;通讯基本靠吼,因为手机就算有信号,电池也冻坏了……
In this village, the length of a day is 3 hours in December. Cars can only be placed in heated garages. The ones left outside must keep running, otherwise they won't restart. Even if there was mobile phone reception, the phone batteries would not survive the cold.
在奥伊米亚康村,人人都穿貂!
Fur is one of the only ways to stay warm in Oymyakon and is used out of necessity, not fashion.

冻成狗大概就是这个样子。
上个厕所都要鼓足勇气,因为厕所都在外面。村里有个小卖部,像机器猫的口袋一样,村民们要啥有啥——其实主要是因为村民们也没啥想买的……

There are few modern conveniences in the village — with many buildings still having outdoor toilets — and most people still burn coal and wood for heat. The only working shop in Oymyakon provides the villagers with everything they need.
这里是真正的不毛之地,啥也不长,村民们只好过上了梁山好汉般的生活——天天喝酒吃肉。
Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer meat and horsemeat.
看到这里,如果有人好奇,想试试脱光了在奥伊米亚康裸奔一圈是神马滋味,那小编可以诚恳地告诉你,这叫:作大死。

If you were to go outside naked on an average day, it would take approximately one minute for you to freeze to death.
另外,世纪君还想更诚恳地告诉你,就算你冻死在奥伊米亚康,也不能立即埋,村民们得先烧三天篝火把地化冻了再说。
Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies, which can take anything up to three days. The earth must first have thawed sufficiently in order to dig it, so a bonfire is lit for a couple of hours. Hot coals are then pushed to the side and a hole couple of inches deep is dug. The process is repeated for several days until the hole is deep enough to bury the coffin.
