2018年商务英语初级口语测试：丛林过夜

丛林过夜

I couldn’t rig this place

if the Bayaka weren’t here.

Watching my back, really.

James needs to operate the remote cameras from somewhere out of the elephants’ reach.

A tree platform seems like the best option.

Apparently, they have very big elephants round here.

They want us to put it a bit higher,

so... I think I’ll do what they say.

But no-one wants to stay out at night and help James with the filming.

So James will be alone until morning.

If anything goes wrong, he’s on his own.

If they really wanted to,

they could push these trees over.

I can’t imagine that’s going to be an issue.

As James settled down for the night,

he’s got no idea of the trouble that’s coming his way.

如果巴彦喀向导不在这儿

我肯定没办法在这里搭设备

瞧瞧我的背

詹姆斯必须在大象够不着的地方

操控远程摄像机

树上平台是最佳的拍摄地点

显然附近有身躯十分庞大的丛林象

他们想要我们把摄像机放得更高

我会按他们说的做

但谁都不愿留下来

协助詹姆斯进行夜间拍摄

所以詹姆斯将要独自工作到天明

如果发生意外他也只能独自面对

如果大象使用全力是可以把树推倒的

我简直不敢想象那种情况

詹姆斯已为夜晚做好了准备

他不知道自己会遇到什么麻烦
