 I'm in the high mountains of western Texas in the brutal¹ Chihuahuan desert. 我身处德克萨斯州西部 奇瓦瓦沙漠中的峡谷之间

I've thrown a rope across a 30-foot chasm,but my improvised² grappling hook 我刚才将一根绳子扔过了30英尺宽的峡谷 但是我临时制作的爪钩

has slipped on the loose rock at just the wrong time. 却在关键时刻松动了

Bad place for the anchor to slip!Bad, bad place! 坏了  爪钩那头松了 天煞的地方

I want to get off this rope, and fast. 我要离开这根绳子 越快越好

The anchor has held, but only just. 爪钩还撑着  但也只是刚好撑着

Let's try and get this rope back.Okay. 我们把绳子收回来 好

I should be able to just pull this string, 按理说  只要我拉动这条细绳

Looks much more straightforward³, actually. 现在路看起来要好走多了

Often, these riverbeds that look dry,once you get down under the surface of it, 通常  这些看起来干涸的河床 只要你挖开表层的土

you can often find moisture. 你就能在下面找到水

Yeah, look. See that?Just an inch or so down? 看到了吗   也就是一英尺多一点
