Dawn has broken over the outback in north Australia. As soon as the sun comes over the horizon, I can feel its warming rays. The temperature is already 90 degrees Fahrenheit and rising. But at least, I’m near water. It’s time for an early-morning river dip.
拂晓的曙光划破澳洲北部的黑夜。太阳一越过地平线，我就能感受到它温暖的光线。温度已达到华氏90度，且还在上升。但至少河水近在咫尺。现在是清晨沐浴的时候了。
By following this river downstream, you could reach the coast. But the danger as I head down is that this water is gonna get wider, bigger and also, as it gets closer to the sea, crocodiles. And especially dangerous to me are the salt water ones. And soon I start to see crocodiles. And some of these are man-eaters.
继续沿河而下就能抵达海岸。但是愈往前愈危险。河流将会愈发宽广，愈接近海洋就越可能遇见鳄鱼。会对我构成威胁的主要是咸水鳄。很快我就发现有鳄鱼出没。其中不乏食人鳄鱼。
I’m in the Australian outback, close to the back for a river which should run down to the coast. This is crocodile territory. In life-or-death situations, it’s so important to set yourself a structure to work within, you know, like a discipline and goals to have. The way I’m working at the moment is the thing we used to do in the army. It’s just, when you are walking long distances, breaking it down and marching for like an hour and then taking ten minutes, just sit down, rest, find some shade, bit of water and then another hour and sticking to this timing religiously. It just helps break the day down.
我目前身处澳洲内陆。这里是鳄鱼出没的地带。在这种生死攸关的时刻，制定属于自己的一套求生的计划至关重要，例如一个行动准则或者目标。此时我就在利用从军队学来的方法。那就是在长途跋涉时，中途休息几次，每前行一个小时左右就休息10分钟。找个阴凉处坐下，放松一下身心，喝点水后继续前行。一定要虔诚地坚持这种时间划分，这会帮你度过难熬的一天。
