On the first evening,the three of us were tired after walking for about eight hours. We soon felt asleep.
在第一天晚上,在走了大约八个小时之后,我们三个人都累了。我们很快就睡着了。
In the middle of the night,I heard a strange noise outside.0 But when l looked out of the tent,there was nothing there.
半夜,我听见外面传来奇怪的声音。但当我向帐篷外面看时,却什么也没看到。
In the morning,I got up to make breakfast.
早上,我起来做早饭。发现食品袋被打开了。
The bag of food was open.“Bears,”said Joe.“We should hang the food in a tree tonight.
“熊,”乔说,“今晚我们应该把食物挂在树上。”
Later that day,we stopped in a beautiful field by a stream.0We put up the tent and fell asleep.
那天晚些时候,我仍在溪边块美丽的地里停下了。我们搭起帐篷,然后睡着了。
During the night,the bears came again.This time they took the food from the tree.夜里,熊又来了。这次它们从树上拿走了食物。
“It wasn't high enough.Bears can climb trees.They can smell food from a long way away”said Ben.
“(食物挂得)不够高,熊会爬树。它们可以从很远的地方闻到食物的味道。”本说。
“We must keep the camp clean0,”I said. “Bears might think our rubbish is food.”
“我们必须保持营地干净,”我说,“熊可能认为我们的垃圾是食物。”
“OK,let's tidy up and move on.And we should make lots of noise too.If they know where we are.they may not come any closer,”said Joe
“好吧,我们清理干净,继续前进。我们也应该多弄出些声响来。如果它们知道我们在哪里,可能就不会靠近了。”乔说。
“But if you see a bear,”said Ben,“you mustn't make any sudden moves or make a sound.And above all,you mustn't run.No one can run faster in the forest than a bear.And remember,we don't have a gun to keep us safe!”
“但如果你看到熊,”本说,“你千万别做出任何突然的举动或发出声音。最重要的是,你绝对不能跑。在森林里,没有人能跑得过熊。并且记住,我们没有枪来保证我们的安全!”
That night,we went to sleep...or we tried to.
那天晚上,我们去睡觉了……或者说我们尽力去睡。
The next day,we stopped at eleven o'clock for a break.While the others were resting,I went for a walk in the forest。
第二天,我们在11点钟停下来休息。当其他人在休息时,我去森林里散步。
Suddenly,I saw a baby bear playing with some sticks and stones.He looked so soft and friendly,and I remember thinking,“If I reach out,I can just touch him.”
突然,我看到一只小熊在玩树枝和石头。它看起来那么柔软和友好,并且我现在还记得当时在想:“我要是伸出手的话,就能摸着它。”
There was a loud noise behind me.
一声巨吼从我身后传来。
I stood very still.I didn't even turn my head.There was another loud noise.The baby bear looked up,and ran towards me.I turned pale and he ran past me into the woods.
我一动不动地站着,甚至没有转头。身后又是一声巨吼。那只小熊抬起头看了看,向我跑过来。我脸色惨白,它从我身边跑进了树林。
I was still for a few minutes.Then slowly I turned round,and I saw the baby bear and his huge mother walking away.
我一动不动地待了几分钟。然后我慢慢地转过身来,我看见那只小熊和它身躯庞大的妈妈正在走开。
I ran back to my friends.I have never run so fast.
我跑回我朋友身边。我从未跑得那么快过。
For the next ten days,every time there was a sudden noise,my blood went cold.
之后的十天中,每当听到突然的声响,我都会心惊胆战(blood血:血液)。
