Waiting For the Lions
等待獅子
We all came home agreed about the most exciting adventure of our trip ; it was the night we spent in the truck surrounded by hungry lions.
我們回到家時,一致認為這是我們旅行中最激動人心的一次冒險。那個夜晚,我們在一輛被饑餓的獅子包圍的卡車里度過。
The sides of our truck were of heavy wire. As it had a good top, only the front and back had to be closed. These were made secure by lashing poles across both openings. After we got into the truck, we wired poles across the front, and thus shut off the seat from the rest of the truck.
我們卡車的側面是用很重的鐵絲做的。因為它有一個結實的頂部,只有前面和后面必須關閉。這些都是通過綁在兩個開口上的桿子來固定的。當我們上了卡車,我們在前面架起了電線桿,我們在車前用電線把電線桿連接起來,這樣就把座椅和卡車的其他部分隔開了。
