The rough road across the plain soon became so bad that we tried to get Bruce to drive back to the village we had come from. Even though the road was littered with boulders and pitted with holes, Bruce was not in the least perturbed. Glancing at his map, he informed us that the next village was a mere twenty miles away. It was not that Bruce always underestimated difficulties. He simply had no sense of danger at all. No matter what the conditions were, he believed that a car should be driven as fast as it could possibly go.
? ? As we bumped over a dusty track, we swerved to avoid large boulders. The wheels scooped up stones which hammered ominously under the car. We felt sure that sooner or later a stone would rip a hole in our petrol tank or damage the engine. Because of this, we kept looking back, wondering if we were leaving a trail of oil and petrol behind us.

穿越平原的道路高低不平,開車走了不遠,路面愈加崎嶇。我們想勸說布魯斯把車開回我們出發(fā)的那個村莊去。盡管路面布滿石頭,坑坑洼洼,但布魯斯卻一點兒不慌亂。他瞥了一眼地圖,告訴我們前面再走不到20英里就是一個村莊。這并不是說布魯斯總是低估困難,而是他壓根兒沒有一點兒危險感。他認為不管路面情況如何,車必須以最高速度前進。
? ? 我們在塵士飛揚的道路上顛簸,車子東拐西彎,以躲開那些大圓石。車輪攪起的石塊錘擊車身,發(fā)出不祥的錘擊聲。我們想念遲早會飛起一個石塊把油箱砸開一個窟窿,或者把發(fā)動機砸壞。因此,我們不時地掉過頭,懷疑車后是否留下了機油和汽油的痕跡。
