(单词翻译:双击或拖选)
A spectacular high wire act, we saw this at the beginning of the show, Chinese acrobats1 setting out to walk backwards2 along a 2300-foot-long wire while blindfolded3, and no net, no harness, and look what happens, just before the end, losing his balance and he would plunge4 130 feet to the ground. Now amazingly, that's him, walking away not seriously hurt.
But I wanna take this moment just to address a question that we had, when when Nick Wallenda walked across Niagara Falls, and a lot of people wanted to know, well, why if he has a harness, what you know, why do you, why make him wear a harness, and that is why you wear a harness. When it's on television, we didn't want you to see that.
Amazingly, he walked away from that.
