2018年商务英语初级口语测试：丛林象夜生活

I think I just couldn’t stop smiling for several days after filming.

The relief was just unbelievable.

Back at the camera platform, James has had a long night.

For over four hours, the elephant tried to shake him out of the tree.

Got down this morning when the Bayaka came to collect me,

went to look at the camera, and he’d pulled it out of the tree,

and he’d chewed through the power cable.

He must have gotten a bit of a shock, I mean only 12 volts, but....

Serves him right, quite honestly.

But at least we got a shot of him before he trashed the camera.

Silver lining.

Despite this bumpy start, the elephants soon got used to James,

and James got used to the elephants.

Filming here was never going to be easy,

but we were soon able to

reveal the night life of forest elephants like never before.

拍摄结束后的好几天我都会情不自禁地笑

我感到难以置信的宽慰

在摄像平台上詹姆斯度过了漫长的一晚

超过4小时的时间里

大象想要把他从树上摇下来

早上巴彦喀来接我的时候我才下树

我去查看了摄像机

大象把摄像机从树上扯了下来

他还咬穿了电源线

他肯定被电到了一下

虽然只有12伏特的电压不过..

他罪有应得真的

至少我们在他弄坏摄像机前拍到了图像

不幸中的万幸

坎坷的开端之后

大象们很快习惯了詹姆斯

詹姆斯也熟识了大象们

在这里摄像肯定不容易

但我们很快就能够

第一次揭示丛林象们的夜生活
