I've thrown a rope across a 30-foot chasm,but my improvised grappling hook
我剛才將一根繩子扔過了30英尺寬的峽谷 但是我臨時制作的爪鉤
has slipped on the loose rock at just the wrong time.
卻在關鍵時刻松動了
Bad place for the anchor to slip!Bad, bad place!
壞了 爪鉤那頭松了 天煞的地方
I want to get off this rope, and fast.

The anchor has held, but only just.

Let's try and get this rope back.Okay.

I should be able to just pull this string,
按理說 只要我拉動這條細繩
and that bone should pop out.Cool.

Actually, this isn't a bad place to try and dig for a bit of water.

Often, these riverbeds that look dry,once you get down under the surface of it,
通常 這些看起來干涸的河床 只要你挖開表層的土
you can often find moisture.

Oh, man, look. That feels cooler and wetter already.

Cooler and wetter,but not wet enough to drink.
雖然更冷更濕了 但還是沒有找到能直接飲用的水
And that's kind of as good as I'm getting.
