　　Waiting For the Lions 等待狮子

　　We all came home agreed about the most exciting adventure of our trip; 我们回到家时，一致认为这是我们旅行中最激动人心的一次冒险。

　　it was the night we spent in the truck surrounded by hungry lions. 那个夜晚，我们在一辆被饥饿的狮子包围的卡车里度过。

　　The sides of our truck were of heavy wire. 我们卡车的侧面是用很重的铁丝做的。

　　As it had a good top, only the front and back had to be closed. 因为它有一个结实的顶部，只有前面和后面必须关闭。

　　These were made secure by lashing poles across both openings. 这些都是通过绑在两个开口上的杆子来固定的。

　　After we got into the truck, we wired poles across the front, and thus shut off the seat from the rest of the truck. 当我们上了卡车，我们在前面架起了电线杆，我们在车前用电线把电线杆连接起来，这样就把座椅和卡车的其他部分隔开了。
