Voice 3: "I, my friend Martin, and a small group were climbing in the mountains. We climbed with two ropes. Martin and I climbed using the first rope. We had already reached the highest point of the mountain. And we could see that a storm was coming. We knew that we needed to protect ourselves. We climbed a little way back to a shelter area. We would be safe there.
聲音3:“我和我朋友馬丁還有其他人去爬山。我們用兩條繩子輔助爬山。馬丁和我用第一條繩子。我們已經(jīng)到達(dá)了最高峰。這時(shí)我們看到風(fēng)暴就要來(lái)了。我們知道我們要保護(hù)自己。所以我們往回走到了掩蔽區(qū)。在那里我們會(huì)是安全的。
Not all of the people in our group had reached the top of the mountain yet. They were using the second rope to climb. So we stayed at the shelter to wait for them.
我們一行人中還有人沒(méi)有到達(dá)最高峰。他們爬山時(shí)用的是第二條繩子。所以我們留在庇護(hù)地等他們。
I can still see it like it was yesterday! People on the second rope were still climbing the side of the mountain. The lightening came from the sky. It hit the rope. Some of the people in the group were still using that rope to climb! The people on the rope were not seriously harmed. But they were very frightened.
現(xiàn)在我還能清楚地看到當(dāng)時(shí)的情景,就好像那是昨天發(fā)生的一樣!用第二條繩子的人們還在山的一側(cè)攀爬。這時(shí)閃電劃破了天空。閃電擊中了繩子。當(dāng)時(shí)還有一些人在借助那條繩子爬山!幸運(yùn)的是那些人受傷并不嚴(yán)重。但是他們被嚇壞了。
I remember clearly that, after the storm stopped, I helped the climbers off the second rope to the shelter. I was waiting for them as they came over the edge of the cliff."
我清楚地記得,暴雨停止以后,我?guī)椭恍┑巧秸邚牡诙l繩子處下來(lái),進(jìn)入庇護(hù)地。他們從懸崖邊過(guò)來(lái)時(shí)我正在等他們。”
