125.Hunting Season
125.狩獵季節
Hunting season is, in retrospect, almost more dangerous for hunters than the prey!
回想起來，狩獵季節對獵人們來說幾乎比獵物更危險。
When deer hunting is in season, for example, it is best not to even enter woods.
比方說，當獵鹿季節到來時，最好不要進入森林。
If you're in step with another hunter, you might think you're safe.
如果是與另外一名獵人合作，你可能認為你是安全的。
But partners have been known to shoot their friends by mistake as well.
可大家知道的是，合作伙伴有時會錯把朋友當獵物。
They get them to a hospital in second to no time, that's for sure, but too many people die of gunshot wounds while they are in surgery while their friends look on in silence.
他們肯定會馬上送他們去醫院，可是太多的人在手術時死于槍傷，而朋友們只能在旁邊默默地看著。
In short Just don't go in the woods at all!
總之，根本就不要到森林里去！
In the absence of this wise advice, my friend went into the woods last year.
由于沒有聽到過這樣的忠告，我朋友去年進了森林。
In search of his lost dog, my friend took every warning in stock: he wore orange clothing, made a lot of noise,
他去尋找他丟失的狗，我朋友記住了所有現有的警告：穿桔黃色衣服，弄出很大的聲響，
and even sang a song so people would know he was a person in the act of looking for a dog. He still got shot!
甚至唱著歌，這樣別人就能知道他是一個人，正在尋找一條狗?？勺詈笏€是被槍打了！
He was just lucky he was in shape, in that he had to crawl out of the woods by himself,
幸運的是他身體很好，因為他得靠自己爬出森林，
in spite of the person who shot him still being nearby.
盡管開槍打他的那個人還在附近。
I visited him later that day in the hospital. And in terms of almost dying, he was in quite good spirits.
那天我去醫院看了他。盡管險些喪命，他的情緒很好。
We all looked in shock when the dog came walking into the room like nothing had happened.
當那條狗就像什么事也沒發生一樣走進來時，我們都很吃驚。
He had never been in the woods in the first place, just at the neighbor's playing with the neighbor's kids.
它根本就沒有去過森林，只是在鄰居家和鄰居的孩子們玩。
So heed this warning: stay out of the woods during hunting season!
所以注意這條警告：狩獵季節不要去森林！
