????如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己迷失在野外,你會(huì)怎么做?為了找到答案,你可以參加澳大利亞內(nèi)陸沙漠的周末生存課程。這個(gè)廣袤的地區(qū)以其惡劣的沙漠氣候而聞名。

To survive, your first task will be to find water, a rare commodity in the desert. Animals such as ants and seed-eating birds are strong indicators of water. You can also cut and suck moisture from the roots and leaves of plants. Trees like the desert oak have roots near the surface. But be careful, the branches of gum trees are a rich source of water, but the leaves are poisonous, so don't eat them.

? ??為了生存,你的首要任務(wù)是在沙漠中找到水,一種稀有的商品。螞蟻和吃種子的鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)等動(dòng)物是水的有力指標(biāo)。你也可以從植物的根和葉中切割和吸取水分。像沙漠橡樹(shù)這樣的樹(shù)在地表附近有根。但要小心。樹(shù)膠樹(shù)的樹(shù)枝是豐富的水源,但葉子有毒,所以不要吃。

? ??????commodity= 日用品,商品

? ??????indicator= 指示器

? ??????suck moisture= 吸收水分

? ??????oak= 橡樹(shù)

? ??????branch= 樹(shù)枝

? ??????gum tree= 桉樹(shù)

? ??????poisonous= 有毒的

The best place to build a shelter is in an area with the least amount of sunlight, like between sand dunes or in a trench. To make a trench, dig a hole big enough to lie down in and use the extra sand to create a barrier or wall on each side. This can help to shield you from the glare and scorching heat of the sun.

建造庇護(hù)所的最佳地點(diǎn)是在陽(yáng)光最少的地區(qū),比如沙丘之間或溝渠里,要造一條溝渠,挖一個(gè)足夠大的洞躺在里面,用多余的沙子在兩邊筑起屏障或墻。這有助于保護(hù)你免受強(qiáng)光和灼熱的太陽(yáng)。

? ??????shelter= 避難所,庇護(hù)

? ??????sand dune= [地理] 沙丘

? ??????trench= 溝渠

? ??????barrier= 障礙物,屏障

? ??????shield sb. from…= 保護(hù)某人免遭……

? ??????glare= 強(qiáng)光

? ??????glare at(怒視,瞪眼,怒目圓睜)

? ??????scorching= 酷熱的,極熱的,燒焦似的

? ??????a scorching hot day(大熱天)

Nights can be cold, so knowing how to make a fire is essential. One way to build a fire is to use the hand drill method. This is one of the oldest and simplest ways to start a fire. It involves rolling a stick between your hands while pressing it onto a notched piece of wood with dry tinder below. The idea is to use the friction to create enough heat to ignite the tinder. This can be a lot of work.

? ??夜晚可能很冷,所以知道如何生火是必不可少的。一種生火的方法是用手鉆方法。這是最古老最簡(jiǎn)單的生火方法之一。它包括在你的雙手之間滾動(dòng)一根棍子,同時(shí)把它壓在一塊有缺口的木頭上,下面是干火藥。這個(gè)想法是利用摩擦產(chǎn)生足夠的熱量來(lái)點(diǎn)燃火藥。這可能是很多工作。

? ??????make a fire=start a fire= 生火,燒火

? ??????essential= 必要的,基本的

? ??????hand drill= 手鉆

? ??????notched= 有凹口的,缺口的

? ??????tinder= 易燃物,引火物

? ??????friction= 摩擦

? ??????ignite= 點(diǎn)燃,使燃燒

As for food, you'll have to be open-minded. Some forms of life can be ugly to look at but can provide you with enough protein to survive. They may even taste good, like scrambled eggs!

至于食物,你得思想開(kāi)放。有些生命形式看起來(lái)很丑陋,但卻能為你提供足夠的蛋白質(zhì)來(lái)生存。它們甚至可能味道很好,像炒雞蛋!

? ??????open-minded= 思想開(kāi)明的;無(wú)先入之見(jiàn)的;無(wú)偏見(jiàn)的

? ??????protein= 蛋白質(zhì)

? ??????scrambled egg= 炒蛋
