《荒野求生》之跟着贝尔去冒险第68期:致命的竹制陷阱

 Actually, this wouldn't be a bad place to try and make camp. 实际上  在这里露营应该还不错

You know, I can use a lot of these limbs,get myself up, off the ground. 我可以利用这些树枝 爬到上面去  远离地面

You know, I've got water nearby,probably food, but the main thing is 附近也有水源 说不定还有食物  但最棒的是

I want to be off the ground where all of the creepy-crawlies,all of the ants are gonna be. 我能离开地面 因为地面就是那些恶心的爬虫 蚂蚁们的聚集地

The forest floor's alive with stinging bugs¹ and creepy-crawlies at night. 夜晚丛林的地面会四处 都聚集着叮人的虫子和恶心的爬虫

Making a hammock or a bed at least a foot off the ground is a must if you want to get any sleep. 只要你想稍微闭眼休息一会儿 就得搞个至少离地一英尺的吊床  

This is gonna be pretty rudimentary,but at least I'm off the jungle floor, 这床是简陋了点 但至少我不用睡在地面上了

and actually there's quite a nice breeze up here, as well, 而且上面的空气还更好

which makes a big difference from the heat and humidity of the jungle down there. 和下面又潮又热的丛林比起来 这可好多了

Overnight is a good time for hunting.That's when many potential food sources come out to feed. 夜晚是捕猎的大好时机 很多可食用的动物都在夜晚活动

And that's when bamboo comes into its own for making lethal² traps. 这时致命的竹制陷阱 就要开始大显身手了

These prongs really are...Look.You can see these are sharp as you like. 这些竹刺还真...看 你要多锋利就有多锋利

Many of these sort of vietnamese animal traps were used to devastating³ effect by the vietcong during the war. 战争时  越共使用过 许多诸如此类的动物陷阱 它们发挥了毁灭性的效果

Basically all they did was upscale them to man-traps. 通常他们都会升级这些陷阱规模 用以攻击人类

What they'd also quite often do was smear⁴ the tips of these with human excrement⁵, 他们还会经常在陷阱尖部涂上 人类的排泄物

and their aim really wasn't to kill.Their aim was to maim⁶. 他们的目标不是杀戮 而是使人残废

And they knew that a patrol was much more vulnerable 他们知道巡逻队的防线会更脆弱

if they had to fend⁷ for their wounded than if they were just one man down. 因为他们得照顾自己的伤员 而不是简单的损失一名成员

And that really is psychological warfare⁸. 真是一场心理战

All I really want out of this is something to eat. 而我就想利用这个  弄到些食物

That's all set.And then all I need to do is set the trigger to release this. 都装好了 现在我只需装个开关  使它能松开
